I had breakfast with my sister at UCC in Corinthian Hills. I ordered my usual fare of tinapa with scrambled egg with salted egg and brewed coffee. She had corned beef hash - half serving only as her usual. We talked about the business, the kids and our parents. I told her about my recent Singapore trip and that she should try the Thunder Tea Rice. She discussed her planned trip with friends to Iceland in October. Afterwards, I drove her to her new home in Greenmeadows. I like the ambiance of this subdivision. It does not have that intimidating feel of Corinthians. It is quiet, peaceful and I heard their swimming pool is even salted for health reasons. Her house adopted the swedish design. Very low-key. Lots of spaces. Modern and yet with a classic feel. All functional. We hung out at her kitchen. I took some bananas while she juiced some vegetables for herself. She was preparing her lunch. We continued talking about casual stuff - her friends, my friends, their lives. Soon, we had to go to office. We said our goodbyes. I headed back to my car. But as I drive towards Edsa heading to my office, tears started falling
My sister is going to Australia in a few days time to have biopsy and lumpectomy. She had cysts on her breasts. After many clinical tests, they came out inconclusive. They only use fine needle here in the Philippines so tests can come out false negative. It means it can come out negative but its actually positive. Dr. Samuel Ang does a lot of back jobs, probably because he is old na. So she is flying to Australia since her bestfriend has a house there and a team of doctors to accommodate her. After the biopsy, she can get the result in 48 hours. By September 4, we would know if she has breast cancer.
In the meantime, en route to Australia she is passing by HongKong. I asked why. She said she wants to eat good ramen before facing her ordeal. Funny funny girl! This is the same girl who competed in the volleyball intramurals in high school when she had German Measles!!!!
But whether or not her result comes out positive or negative, I plan to spend more time with her, even if I have to brave the pasig traffic. I would also try to save money again so we can go to Europe once more. We have always planned on going to South of France. But I avoid her like the plague. Her idea of a 3 star tourist class hotel is one that includes the Louis Vuitton list of boutique hotels. But she has always been charming and able to make me part with my money easily. But money only offers us comfort. It can never replace the good memories we can do with it.
