I was reading a very good book by a Filipina author, entitled Bamboo in the Wind... Kuya Rex who purchased the book for me as a birthday gift said it was a difficult find, really he had a hard time looking for it in National Bookstore and ended up finding it in Powerbooks.haha. :)
My eyes were getting blurry as hours passed by while I read the book, I still persist and insist though because of the uniqueness of the plot and the diverse and varied characters whose lives are intertwined by Fate or was it a dirty government ruled by thugs during the pre-Martial Law days. I feel terrified at the thought of being born during those times when even innocent people went to jail without legal counsel and without the right to defend oneself in court or know the charges filed against them....
I still feel lucky I am an Edsa baby, it makes me thankful to God for making life easier for me even if my medicines costs a fortune. My eldest brother reported to me that my medicines costs 6,660 per month. That would cost Candy's(my sister) salary already.... How can I live independently if I graduate and all I earn is a meager 1,500 which was the salary of professors in the local Seminary? I still feel a bit depressed especially when my brother told me that my sole responsibility is to get well. I feel useless. I need to find a way to get money, even if it means I have to beg...
