MOVING ON

Today, I have thought and started filling up these blogging pages again mainly to share my thoughts and those about ongoing developments in my current life. I am grateful for the opportunity to do so again, and I hope I get to rekindle and get to sustain whatever interest you may have on my writings. I continue to build, grow, expand my online businesses mainly from here in New York City. I also do my paid gigs as a self employed person who is originally from the Philippines, where I left when before I turned 40 years old.  I am turning 54 years old this year, soon. Same age as my husband who was born and raised here in Harlem, NYC. The big change has been that of my marriage, the status that gives me delight most time.  Moving on, I have been acting on so many plans so I can update here and accomplish my goals as I go about planning, doing, reviewing, accomplishing bits and pieces of  my goals each day given the failures I make and the lessons I accumulate. Moving on, be...

This afternoon, my patient Mr Brecht died. I first got the news from a phone call from one of the other caregivers. I then got another call from another caregiver who has taken care of him for over 2 years. We chatted for a long while on the phone. I also got a text message from one of his former caregivers who was instrumental for me to do this gig which I had on a part-time basis for over a year. Life suddenly just stops, without us getting better prepared for its departure. Who really knows when exactly the moment someone dies? I didn't even had the chance to bid him goodbye on my way out this afternoon after I was done with my gig for his wife. I figured out somehow, based on the past few weeks that I was with him that he'd be dying soon; he was simply refusing to eat food. Perhaps, he just had so much difficulties taking in food, this life giving substance that then was turning into a terrible ordeal to ingest. There were other signs. Signs that I recall seeing from my la...

I saw this recent posting on "Jobs" section of Craigslist, that reminded me of one paid gigs I've done nearly two years ago. This time based on the ad copied&pasted here, I couldn't qualify, as the ad excludes those who have had their teeth cleaned within the past 5 years. In my case, as usual, I responded to an ad for a gig posted by a Dentist, whose trying to get himself licensed to practice in New York. He's been a practising dentist for many years before. He had to do this through NYU's Dentistry School (I don't really know why, or maybe because the members of the licensing board uses NYU's facilities). My Dentist's Asian who's born and raised in California. He had his wife assisting him during the tedious process of getting his license here in New York. It's nice to see a couple working together in making a sustained go in their livelihood, I told to myself. I had to go back and forth at least 4 times at NYU's Dentistry Schoo...
