abatencila That is so sad. Maybe, you can try some alternative medicine or go to Sta Ana Hospital, for a cheaper operation. There are a lot of ways out there where you didn't have to spend so much money at all. Good LUCK!

abatencila Of course not...I think that gesture will be so impolite. We should accept gifts even though it's small or not the stuff that we want but the giver spend some time for us to choose it and wrap. We should appreciate the gift we are given. Happy Holidays!
