SYMMETRY REDEFINED

Throughout most of my life, I always had the urge to achieve symmetry in everything I did. I needed the sense of balance to preserve my peace of mind and silence the voices in my head. But all that changed when I was diagnosed with breast cancer. After my mastectomy, I have had no choice but to tame the beast of compulsion. Thanks to the image that confronts me in the mirror everyday.

Now I am mastering the art of finding gratification in whatever comes my way. Symmetry can be subjective after all.

SPECIAL STONE BENCH


I visited my old high school today. Profoundly touched that this bench is still around, having sat on it myself some twenty-five years ago. I wonder how many secrets it has shared with many schoolgirls like me through the years.

QUICK HOLIDAY

We decided to take a break in between my oral chemo rounds. Walking through the shops of Boracay, savoring the indolence that only island living can bring.
