The Champions

last November 29 was our championship game in volleyball. It was not an easy game. We had no substitute players. I was burning with fever on that day but I still gave my best for the team. Though it was a close fight, the other team and our team were still good friends. We all hugged each other when the game was done. It was one of the happiest days of my life. At the end, I was the highest pointer player.

My Daughter's 8th Birthday

last November 22 my eldest turned eight. She had a wonderful time though she still misses her dad so much. I cooked some spaghetti and fried chicken and bought her a Disney princess cake. Here are some of her pics I took with her brother, Jibrill Shaun, who just can't wait for the cake!

We Won!!!

we had our volleyball game tonight and luckily we won. my parents and my two adorable kids were there, cheering. my kids run to me after I made the last serve. They were both beaming with gladness.
I may be sick but this won't stop me from being happy...

The Result

i finally got the result of my biopsy. they found infection on my blood and if left untreated and undiagnosed where it is coming from, i might be seeing my angels soon which I hope that it won't happen because my kids still needs me.
