We received a sad news from our province. Snooky, my 16 yr. old cousin, died this morning of Dengue stage 4. This is the first death in our Family that I actually knew the person who died. What saddened me the most was that the "culprit dengue" is curable when its detected at an early stage. The fever started Monday of this week. She was only admitted yesterday evening around 9 pm and she died this morning at 5 am. Her family has a sad story that would pass for a "soap opera". With respect to her death I would not expound on that aspect. No one is too blame for what happened, If it is His will then we can do nothing at least she died peacefully with her mom beside her.
Today we are also celebrating my brother's 20th birthday, somewhat morbid isn't it?
I have a typical first name and that is Kristina. It could be spelled-out in different ways (Cristina, Christina, Xtina and what have you) but nevertheless it still sounds the same. For the last 2 decades of my existence, my name has evolved from Maria, tin-tin, Kristina, Kristeta, tina, tins and in an effort to be unique I finally chose a hyphenated name now I am t-na.

Confessions
I always said the right things, throwing smiles left and right, ignoring "unpleasant" scenarios pretend that it didn't happen. I found it difficult to say NO, even though I really don't want to do it. To top it off, I always believed that "If I could just be nice to other people, maybe they will also be nice to me in return". Now, realizing that all of that crap I thought of is just full of shit since a lot of people took advantage of my disposition. Some of them even recognized that I was gullible and naive but instead of correcting me, they completely did the opposite. I've treasured momments of reflection and meditation, the healing of wounds. One day I'll face and conquer my demons...
