Hi. This is my first time to write about myself online. I initially intended this site as a personal blog which will serve as my journal. But I also want to maximize the potential of this platform so I am deciding to write anything under the sun for the meantime until I will narrow down my niche. I actually don't know where this Day 1 will take me but let me introduce myself first.


I am a practicing lawyer here in the Philippines focusing in taxation and corporate law. I am also a Certified Public Accountant for 20 years already, and a Licensed Real Estate Broker. But the profession I am very most proud of is that I am a mother of three wonderful and amazing children. The eldest is 8 and the younger/youngest (my twin boys) are 6. I am a solo parent. Not married, never been married, no live-in partner, not intimately committed to anyone or whatsoever. It is just me and my 3 lovely children.


Everything is fine with me and my children until last July 31, 2023 when I discovered a lump on my breast. Now I am on an indefinite pause. I was initially diagnosed of breast cancer stage 2, with a lymph node positive for micro-metastasis after obtaining a false negative lymph nodes during my mastectomy. Other than having mastectomy and lymphadenectomy surgeries on two separate occasions, I undergone the usual treatment protocol for an ER/PR + and HER2 triple + cancer patient. As of this writing, I undergone 9 out of 14 chemo infusions and 18 out of 30 radiation sessions already. HER2 positive basically has a five-year survival mark. We'll see until when I will last. But I commit to live for 100 years and I will do everything to fight this illness.


It's almost been a year. I want to live my life with all the normalcy it has before when I was diagnosed. My love for reading somehow helps me a lot to divert my attention to things other than cancer. I always want to do my best in my profession so scribbling my thoughts in this online journal will perhaps help me a lot, too. I started keeping journals about my day when I was 11. I am now 41 and I am happy to keep that hobby of journalizing for 30 years already. I hope I will be comfortable doing this online. It is my way of catching up to the world (and with my little children as well) with all the technicalities of technology. I think I need to live in the virtual world, too.


I love drinking black coffee. Today I am still nauseous because I got chemo infusion just five days ago. But generally my health is fine. I plan to write at least three times a week, saying my thoughts, sharing my technical knowledge in accounting and legal, and updating my health condition from time to time.


Thank you for dropping by. I hope we can spend time together here in my website during your coffee break.
