I thought that was going to die young. I was 9, i got pierced by a rusty can and was told by a neighbor that if I got tetanus I only have a year to live. When you are nine you don't ask questions, you also don't tell your parents because the hole in your foot was caused by a can which was floating in Anilao River. A place which was off limits to you. So you either face the wrath of your mother or wait out the remaining days of your life. Believe me, beast mode Luchi is something you don't want to experience so for me, the choice was easy.

 

They say that life begins at forty. Hell no.

For me life began that summer when I was ten.

When I was no longer scared of not waking up.

When the rust that was called tetanus was no longer running in my veins.

When I was free.......and no longer scared.

 

 

Thank you for your faves, comments and appreciation.

I had a great 40th.
