R15-CODED

R15. Dyan nag sisimula ang code ko. Ibig sabihin, 2015 ako nagpatala sa hospital na isa akong HIV positive. People living in HIV. Isang sakit na kailan man di na mawawala sa akin. Habambuhay ko na dadalahin, unless madiskobre na ang gamot sa papatay sa virus ko sa katawan. Pero di na ako umaasa na darating ang panahon na yun. Ok na ako. Sa katunayan, mabuti na nga dahil alam ko kung saan ako magtatapos, kung ano ang ikamamatay ko. Yan ang naisip ko noon. nakakatakot isipin pero yan ang hatol sa buhay ko. Ngayon tanggap ko na, normal na ang buhay ko, may virus nga lang. tatlong taon na ako sa ARV ko, yun ang kasiguradunan ko na pwede pa ako mabuhay ng matagal, ng normal.
Noong una na nalaman ko, akala ko talaga katapusan ko na. Mabuti na lamang mabait pa rin sa akin ang Diyos, ipinakilala nya ako sa mga taong pwedeng tumulong sa akin. Kaya heto ako ngayon, mataba pa rin. Walang nakakaalam ng sakit ko maliban sa tatlong tao, o baka may napag sabihan pa silang iba, pero ok lang.
Bakit ko ba isinusulat ito. Kasi nalulungkot ako now, wala ako magawa. Minsan dinadaanan ako ng depression, pero alam ko dala lang ito ng kalagayan ko. Minsan masaya, minsan malungkot. 
Pero gusto ko sabihin sa inyo na may pag asa pa ang isang tulad ko. Na hindi terminal ang HIV, na hindi agad ako mamatay. matagal, unless maaksidente ako. Kung ganun eh di ako sa AIDS namatay kundi sa aksidente. Hehehe.
Kung mahal nyo ang buhay nyo, ayusin nyo. Alamin nyo ang status nyo. Kung may nararamdaman na kayong kakaiba, lakasan nyo loob nyo, alamin nyo kung ano yan. Mabuti ng alam nyo kesa mas madami pang makakaalam kapag tinamaan na kayo ng sakit at hindi nyo na madala sarili nyo sa ospital. Ganun ang mangyayari kapag di kayo naglakas loob. Ang pagpunta ko sa clinic ang isa sa mga bagay na sobrang nakakatakot, nakakahiya at nakakawala ng ulirat, heheh, pero yun ang nagligtas sa akin. Kaya eto ako ngayon, malakas. 
Ngayon na ang panahon, di bukas, di sa isang araw. Yun ang makakapagligtas sa inyo.

aftermath...

I had it when I was at the prime of my career. I am thinking how I would soar really high on my dreams. It was a fulfillment of what Ive been through, what I did and overcame...
I thought that was the end, I thought that I was loosing myself, and loosing my mind...suddenly my future became so dark.
But I thought, why should i became affected? Life should go on, if this is my end so be it, but who am i to know that its gonna be my end. Maybe ill die in a different way, if that will be my destiny.
I will be honest that i cried a lot, prayed a lot and hoped a lot. Its not easy to fail, especially for someone like me whos not so used to it. I had a very good life, and this life lead me to where i am now...im sick.
After almost two years of treatment, I'm slowly getting back to my old self, my old routine. Back to normal, just like what i was before. I ask my doctor on what i should do, he just said that i should live my life like i used to do, be normal, enjoy life, eat what i want, travel to where i can go...because this sickness is not  a death sentence. It is the start of a new life.
But there were times that i was so scared, I'm too afraid for things that is not happening. I'm tired of my medicines, as if my body is so bored to take it already. But i have to, because this is my life, for my family, for the one i love.
I started to show how much i really love them. I want them to remember how jolly am i. I want to be remembered as a person full of happiness, despite of what i have.
I also managed to save a little for my future and for my medical needs in case. I have to. I don't want to be a burden for my family. Yes i want to be taken cared of but i still want to be self supporting.
I'm so vocal when i say that i want to be cremated when i die, which I'm sure they will because of my condition. Its frightening to think that my body will burn, i wont feel it anymore, but the thought is too scary. But that's my choice,
But for now, i have to endure the everyday struggles and acceptance. Its a lot different now. A lot better should i say.
I always think that God will still love me, despite of it all.
