The Day We Almost Lost Kyle

January 26, 2011 1:45PM

I had decided to take a nap after lunch that day.  An hour later I found myself waking up and I realized Kyle hasn’t been home yet. I looked at the clock…2PM. Kyle should be home by now since his class dismissal time is at 1:15PM.  Whatever happened to him, I wondered. A few minutes later, there was a knock on our gate.  Then, I heard my mom’s voice screamed from downstairs, “Hurry up, something happened to Kyle.”

I immediately went down to help assist Kyle. And then I saw him—all pale with bruises on his head and left hand, wounds on his left elbow and the bridge of his nose with a mix of sweat, blood and tears flowing on his face. He was accompanied by a thirty-something man (who turned-out to be the culprit, the tricycle driver who hit him) and a girl passenger with a pc on hand.

We couldn’t just let it all pass—I asked Kyle if there’s something that hurts. He said there was a throb on his head, hurting really bad. My Aunt Nelly asked for the man’s name, his tricycle’s body number (yellow Hi-Top bound #36) as well as his contact details. The guy even pleaded not to bring the incident to the baranggay (local government unit)—and that he’s willing to assist if there’s anything we need. 

After Kyle had finished eating his lunch, we asked him again if his head still hurts. He nodded. We had all agreed to have him examined at the hospital. I texted the man named Erwin, I told him we better be sure that Kyle’s fine and that there’s no need for us to worry.  My aunt Nelly called him and asked him to help us bring Kyle to the hospital for further medical examination. Erwin agreed, but explained that he needs to borrow money first so we had to give him a little more time. Although we did not report the said incident to the baranggay, someone must have seen what happened and we later found out that one of our kagawad (councilor) Budang, knocked on our house and extended a few help in taking Kyle to the hospital.

When Kyle got to the hospital he was given tetanus toxoid vaccine right away, they also gave first aid to his wounds before they’ve screened him for necessary X-rays such as the elbows and nose. It was such a good thing that everything turned out okay. Indeed, Kyle’s guardian angel must’ve saved him and spared his life.

It was a day of lessons for us all: For Kyle, to be extra careful and examine both sides of the street before crossing (Never to run again), for us, to fetch Kyle to school—it’s best to be safe than sorry.

According to Kyle this near-death experience had taught him about life, , that any given moment you could lose your life or that of your loved one. While at the emergency room, Kyle saw all the different kinds of patients and he saw a young boy about his age whose mouth they had to stitch because it didn’t stop from bleeding.  “The boy was crying so bad, it probably hurts so much,” says Kyle.  “I was afraid of my own injection but I figured, his case was much more painful than mine. I prayed to God to keep that boy safe,” he relates.

We almost lost Kyle that day. And we keep thanking God he’s still with us at this very moment.  No matter how annoying he could sometimes be, we still love him for beyond that lies a kind-hearted child longing for a love he could never have. 

And to you who was supposedly beside Kyle during that time he needed you the most, thank you for simply texting us to know how he’s doing.  At least, it had shown that you somehow cared for him.  I hope it’s not too late for you to show him your love. He’s given another life, you should shower him with all the love you’re supposed to give him. You know who you are, I don’t think it’s appropriate for me to mention you here. I know you might not be bale to read this, but for those who know you, please make her realize how irresponsible she could be. She’s the only one he’s got, and yet where is she? He’s beginning to think he’s not from you, and although WE SAID HE’S REALLY YOUR FAMILY, he felt otherwise.  PLEASE TRY YOUR BEST to make up to him. Kyle really felt bad that you were not around and you didn’t make any effort to call.

I thank everyone who sent in their prayers and help, Special thanks to Ate Nelly, and Kyle’s class adviser, Teacher Gregoria Ruste.

Circulan 4 in 1 solved my problem

A box of Circulan was an answer to my prayers.

Being overweight had brought me hormonal problems.  I don't have monthly periods on a regular basis. I never liked to take pills because it takes its toll on me. I would either have more appetite or I'll have extreme migraines if ever I'd be popping pills to regulate my period. When a friend of mine introduced me to Circulan 4 in 1, I swear I thought she's getting it all wrong. Why would I need a food supplement in the first place? But I tried it just the same, I figured there's no harm in trying it out. it wouldn't be approved by BFAD if it's not safe. 

When I started taking Circulan 4 in 1, I had no idea if there's gonna be some side effects. And yes, there was a side effect...I've observed I sleep earlier when I pop on the pill. And eventually, I was surprised that after about more than a year, I had my period back. Circulan even helped regulate my period. Now, i have no more worries...It was an answer to my prayers. I sleep well and I no longer have hormonal imbalance as I get my period regularly now. Thanks to Circulan. 

Circulan 4 in 1 is available in leading drugstores nationwide.   

On Counting my Blessings

A shot I had taken online from Nuffnang's site.

It's only the beginning of the year 2011, and I am speechless with all the blessings I have received. This early I have so much to be thankful for. i won in the Nuffnang and Nutroplex Top of the Class Blogging Contest (Best Story)--It was something I had not expected in the first place because I thought I write too much. One blogger I know even said that she finds reading my blog posts really boring that reading them lulls her to sleep. I'm sorry if this is really the case, i just love writing so much that sometimes, there are tendencies for me to write really long blog posts. Anyway, winning that blog contest gave me some kind of confidence. It had given Kyle a Muji study table and chair and P8k worth of gift certificates from Fullybooked. The latter meant that I could finally regain the mini library that I had lost from super typhoon Ondoy in 2009. I had once blogged about losing my interest on books after my precious collections submerged in flood water--I could vividly remember how I tried my best to dry my books and save them with a hair blower--drying them page by page. Other hardbound books, I grieved and cried for them an entire week. God must have finally heard and answered my prayers, He had restored my interest for reading books again.

Then, I had also finally repaired my mac mini. I've had it reformatter and upgraded from a Tiger 10.4 to a Leopard 10.5. As of this writing, I am still trying to adjust with its new operating system and with its new specs to boot--its got iWeb, Time Capsules, Space among others. I am forever grateful to Liza Abrigana for referring me to Ynzal Marketing after Apple's Power mac Center had denied me. And to Mr. Nomer, the technician who was very patient and helpful in answering my inquiries. Thank you so much!

I was able to find a new therapist for kyle as well. It's quite difficult for us to travel to Culiat each Thursday afternoon, especially after Kyle's classes--but I trust the Lord God that it will all be worth the trip. I hope to see improvements in Kyle's behavior soon. I'm giving it a time frame...

To those I may have wronged, I ask forgiveness...
To those I may have helped, I wish I did more...
To those I did not help but SHOULD have, I ask for understanding...
And to those who HELPED me big or small, I sincerely thank you from the bottom of my heart.
