A Fantastic Sunday

We managed to all get up the following morning to go to Mass at Padre Pio at 10 am. Most everyone was there except Dad and Boydee; my guess is that Dad woke up too late.

We had lunch at Italianni's and of course it was delish! I swear, this family always has an excuse to eat out somewhere!

After lunch, we watched the Fantastic 4, Rise of the Silver Surfer at Eastwood.

It was ok, the kids enjoyed it, especially Rogan. Raine is a lot like me; she was second-guessing the plot and would almost always guess correctly, hehehe. Glad that she wasn't beside Japa though, because this is one of his pet peeves, hehehehe, especially if I'm correct!

I kind of like Jessica Alba as a brunette in the first movie, though. Her blondness seemed a bit off in this second movie. The silver surfer was one cool dude: slick and fast.

And if you haven't seen it, watch for the appearance of Stan Lee, the creator of the Fantastic 4. He is one of the wedding guests at the wedding of Reed and Sue; the only guest that was turned away. Didn't know he was that old, lol!

The best part of this movie was what happened to Johnny the Torch after the Silver Surfer touched him. Some of the most hilarious parts of the movie for sure.

After the movie, I had this sudden craving for raisin bread and off I went to Hizon's at Promenade in Greenhills. They make THE best raisin bread ever. Proof as to how good it is? The whole loaf was consumed before the day ended! Hehehe.

Elizza and I also went to the ICU at Medical City to visit Tita San. She was wide awake, but was staring at one side most of the time. She would respond a little bit, which was a very good sign. Even her doctor was amazed at her resiliency and her ability to cope with whatever was thrown at her body.

As of Friday morning, when she was rushed to the ICU due to complications with pneumonia, a CT scan showed that her brain was 70% tumor. Her doctor gave her anywhere from 2 to 4 days to live. For those of you reading this, a prayer is appreciated. What I pray for usually, is that God lessen Tita San's pain; that she won't be having such a hard time hanging on to life because we all want her to live. If it is God's will to take her, I pray that He take her quickly, with the least amount of pain possible.

We are still exploring the possibility of taking her home for her last few days. Not sure if that is possible with her being intubated and all, but I think it would ease Tita San's mind to be surrounded by people that she loved, and those that truly love her.

Ok, too much emotion here. Gotta sign off. I'll be back with some layout posts.
