no, i have not died yet, in case you were wondering. i have been on a pretty long hiatus from blogging but not on living life. but yes, i could die any time, perhaps soon, and then maybe not so soon. we don't know. but we do know that LIFE IS SHORT. however you define "short". it can never be forever.
i am currently reading a book entitled "The Fault in our Stars" and it's one of the best books i've read so far. :) but i'll tell you more about it later.
for now, i'm going to give you a sneak-peek on my whereabouts for the past few months. the reason why i haven't been writing is because i've been travelling and i guess i suck at making this a travel blog because i can't write while i travel. that sucks too, i guess i better learn more about that...
i've actually posted these pics on facebook but not here... so here it goes :)
LIFE IS SHORT.
It's been 20 months since I discovered I had Hodgkin's Lymphoma and LIFE has never been the same since.
When something as big as cancer hits you, your entire perspective about LIFE changes.
Inspired by the places I have visited since i was declared cancer-free early this year, I have arrived at some REALIZATIONS based on the undeniable fact that LIFE IS INDEED VERY SHORT.
These realizations are posted as captions of some of my favorite captured moments throughout the whole year. ENJOY!

Yep, i've been to a lot of places in a span of 9 months. I was lucky enough to be able to get back to work and earn enough for travel. Work is flexible as I've been doing clinics so I can always take a vacay for a few days and then work again. (more days working than going around, i promise!) hehehhe
This has been a very very very long entry. I do hope you get my point in those pictures.
LIVE. :)
