GOD is the only reason for everything;
for our precious talents, precious gifts, precious friends and family, and for a very wonderful and colorful life. So He has the only right to get our life whenever and wherever He wants to.I was 4 years old then when my father left to work in America. Then he came back after 6 years. Imagine, for 6 years I've longed for a father. He wasn't there when I graduated pre-school with honors, he wasn't there when I started making experiences with others. Until he came back, and my life changed a lot. It became more super duper colorful than before. From then on, he comes back every year.
It was February 2010 when my disease started. I missed many lessons because I was always absent. It was like this, this day I have fever, tomorrow I have pharyngitis, the next day I have UTI, then fever again and etc. I was confined in two hospitals, I spent 5 days at Angono Medics and 6 days at Medical City, both hospitals treated my disease like Typhoid Fever even though it wasn't. They did many many tests in my body but still, I went (March 12, 2010) and left (March 22, 2010) two hospitals without them knowing what my real disease was.
The start of my 3rd Year life went out so great. I developed a closer bond with my family and friends. So far, this year is the best year in my entire school life. This year was when I experienced and is still experiencing a great happiness in the company of my beloved friends. I felt a complete satisfaction in the midst of my relationship with my family and friends, and for me to really enjoy my teenage life, having a boyfriend is not a good idea.
It was September then when Dengue Fever was so common in the Philippines. I was not that worried that time with Dengue. Until on September 12, I reached a very high fever of 39 degrees Celsius. They found out that my platelet count is low so I was brought at Angono Medics. I was dying in pain that time because of tummy. The doctor inserted a tube through my nose down to my stomach, for the bleeding inside it will be spit out through the tube. The Tube Insertion was the MOST PAINFUL experience in my life. I was not allowed to eat, and I can't speak.
It was the first time that I heard my father cried on the phone and that really broke my heart.
Everytime they let the blood come out, my feeling was like a person was punching me. It was really really hard, but still I found ways to cheer myself up and others too.
Due to extreme decrease of my platelet count, because it was Dengue Hemorrhagic Fever Stage 3, a transfusion of 15 bags of plasma was needed.
You know, I wasn't really aware how fatal my illness that time was, until I was brought in the ICU of Dr. Fe Del Mundo Hospital and then everyone was really praying for me. I stayed there for almost 2 days until my platelet count increases and after that I just stayed in a private room for 2 more days.

| this was taken by my father inside the ICU |
I was cured by God's grace and also because of the prayers of the people around me. For me, all of these things are MIRACLE, being hospitalized twice in a year and yet I'm here alive, healthy, very happy and contented with my life. When I was inside the ICU.......
I told God that He can now get my life whenever He wants to, that I'll just surrender everything to Him, because I know that everything happens for a good reason and whatever my God's will is I'll accept it wholeheartedly.
I never lost FAITH because of those God-given trials in my life, I never did, and I never will.Life's really UNPREDICTABLE. Trials, depressions and problems may come, but I assure you one thing,
THAT OUR GOD WILL NEVER LEAVE NOR FORSAKE US--that was what He promised us.
Hope you liked it, though it's too long. :)
Thanks for reading my autobiography.
