Please Help Baby Je-An
November 18th, 2009 | 
Author: I saw this blog post from my co-blogger and friend here in Bacolod City. Since I have a baby and two other children, it pains me to see many babies and children suffer. So I am re-posting my friend’s post here to support this cause. Please share your blessings! Help Je-An live and enjoy life!
= RE-POST FROM SHE WRITES, YOU WRITE. =
This afternoon my friend Cindy and I went to visit a baby boy named Jeff Andrei Las Pinas. My heart was moved when I saw him… Like Meimei, he too has imperforate anus (read my post if you don’t know what it is). The sad thing about it is little Je-An has congenital heart disease – a hole in his heart and biventricular enlargement. Like Meimei too, Je-An has colostomy, however, he can’t proceed with the 2nd operation (PSARP Surgery) unless his heart goes through an open heart surgery. He has difficulty in breathing – as in gasping for air. At the age of 5 months, he can only consume a maximum of 2 oz every 2-3hrs or else he may experience more difficulty in breathing. Unless his heart is repaired, baby Je-An won’t grow… At 5 months, he is still wearing his new born clothes because he only weighs about 5 – 6lbs. Considered as blue baby, his new born weight was only 4lbs.
Baby Je-an’s family’s livelihood is barely enough to support the daily needs of their family much more to have the resources for the heart surgery which is estimated to cost about PHP 500,000 (approximately $10,500). So I am asking you to join me in helping him live a better life… His mom and grandmother shared to us that Je-an had experienced many times a 50-50 chance of survival, but he has a very strong WILL TO LIVE, let’s give him that chance…
I am blogging about this because I believe there are a lot of people who care. Here are several ways you can help:
1. Pray for Jeff Andrei Las Pinas and his family – they need this everyday
2. Spread the word and ask more people to help. Inform me if you will repost this in your blog or write a note and please ask them to email blogforacause@yahoo.com.
3. Extend financial assistance – any amount will do. Please leave a comment and email me at blogforacause@yahoo.com then I’ll give you the details on how you can send the money.
SHARE YOUR BLESSINGs. Always remember that we are blessed to be a channel of blessing to many.
“He who gives to the poor, lends to the Lord and HE will reward him for what he has done”. – Proverbs 19:17
“He who gives to the poor will lack nothing, but he who closes his eyes to them receives many curses.” - Proverbs 28:27
May the Lord bless you…
Premature Awareness Month
The month of November is Premature Awareness Month. This is to create awareness that many babies are born too soon and too small to fight for their lives. This is also about creating awareness for women to take care of their pregnancy to give birth to full term babies.
So, I decided to join this cause because I want Moms to more careful when they are pregnant because babies are really helpless when they are born too soon. Some would not live to see their first birthday.

The Meme Confusion
I have 30 plus domains and several active blogs. Though they are many, I try to update them at least once a week. But now, I am a bit confused. I am faced with a problem. Not that I have many blogs to update but I am confused where to place the memes I wanted to join. Nyek! Hehehe…
Anyway, I have found several photo memes that I am really interested in. To be honest, I heart photo memes though my digital camera has a broken LCD and my mobile phone has a lousy cam resolution. As for this blog, I am joining Friday Photo Flashback which is hosted at More than Words. Now, I am contemplating if I should add another one or just place the other memes in my other blogs (but where?). I want the photo meme to be relevant to the blog’s topic too.
Oh well, I never thought that joining memes can be hard as this. How about you? Do you place a certain meme at a certain blog?
Friday Photo Flashback #2
On my second entry, I am still featuring myself! 
This is me on my 3rd Birthday. My mom went to the photo studio to get a picture of me. She wanted to send my father, who was in Saudi Arabia at that time, a birthday picture of me.
