It’s Friday once again and thank God it’s payday as well! Though there’s nothing to rejoice about receiving our salaries today because our hopes and expectations for a salary increase didn’t materialize.

Anyway, in this time of crisis we can’t just rely on our current income, we have to be resourceful to have an extra source of income. A friend offered me to  try my luck in insurance marketing since she found success in selling insurance. I’m not experienced in marketing but they say ‘no guts no glory’ so i guess i might consider it for our family’s sake.

I received a heart-breaking news from my kumare (my daughter’s godmother) that she has breast cancer. We communicate through online chat because she’s in London now, four years ago she and her family migrated in London. We rarely communicate because of time difference so when we had the chance to talk the other day that’s the only time I found out that she’s battling against this cancer since last year. She told me about her hardships, the surgeries and chemotherapy treatments she faced and still facing. At first when I saw her on cam I thought her quick weight loss was because of diet pills, but later on I’ve learned that it was due to her sickness. But she’s a strong woman, inspite of her sickness she still manage to take care of her family and their business.

I really hope and pray that her cancer will soon be cured and gone forever. God have mercy..
