Some story. :)

Exactly a year ago, I was diagnosed with Bell’s Palsy, more known as facial paralysis. Yes, it was one of the hardest trials in my still young life and now, a year after all it happened, I am more than grateful to have gotten over that health bump.

It may have threatened my physical appearance and emotional strength but now I think I know better. :) Indeed, what doesn’t kill you will only make you stronger. After all, it was an experience I would forever be thankful for–at least maybe for the fact that Nixlove, Mommy, family and friends stood by me and helped me get through. Nix and mom, especially, had been very patient with me, giving me support during the painful therapy sessions, putting up with all my mood swings that came with the pain, the physical disability, and the fear that I could never recover again.

They made sure I would still love myself, at a time when I thought I had actually started hating my own face. :D

I hope BP won’t relapse (some 20 percent of the cases do, and thank heavens that’s a relatively small number).  So now, instead of letting stress get into me, I decided to leave a stressful job and take the opportunity to grow. :)

Yes, ladies and gentlemen, which reminds me of my next topic: the resignation. :)

But that blog post will have to wait. I still have a few more days with the top Philippine news website :D
