Part 2 (Sorry, i didn’t know that REELS had a 90 second limit.)
ABANGAN! Seriously it was a heartwarming reunion. Boy freaked because i needed a shot while he was here. And he really hates needles. Nagkwento pa lang ako ng pinagdadaanan kong mga treatment at yung at least 18 pieces of vitamins, supplements, as well as medicine to help prevent my migraines and protect my liver because of my chemotherapy and of course my antihistamines… parang the whole 3 hours boy was here he was stopping himself from crying pero bumigay din sya talaga.
And with my sincerest apology to @km_jessica_soho who is also in town, and had asked if it was possible to give her an interview- it was all impromptu using just my iPhone with @markleviste being our cameraman & bimb asking the questions.
Boy never asked for anything pero sa laki ng utang na loob namin sa kanya, (the entire time he managed me for my endorsements as long as it was with my sons his commission was only from my 50%, buong buo for my 2 yung talent fee- lugi nga ako kasi yung 32-35% na tax sagot ko, bilin yun ng mom) binigay ko ng buong buo yung medyo naputol ng ilang beses na footage.
Hindi namin pwedeng pagalitan dahil hindi naman sya DOP. Maraming salamat sa mga Batangueño sa pagpapahiram ng inyong vice governor. But in a few days babalik na sya sa 🇵🇭 at sa Pasko, kasama ng 3 anak nya na kaming lahat magsasama. (Christmas is also his birthday.)
Happy Birthday (Oct 29) to the keeper of all my secrets, the one who assured me that come what may he’ll be there for my sons, and the friend who until now fights my battles with me. To my other brother, i love you completely. #lovelovelove Orange County, California

Thank you for visiting me @loveangelinequinto… it’s a great feeling to reminisce. That’s the good thing about the past, you get to choose which memories to bring with you…
may i clarify something i saw from the @inquirerdotnet feed? It was dated November 9, unfortunately by the time that post came out it was no longer true. A long distance relationship is difficult when undergoing very physically demanding treatments like my methotrexate and my Dupixent. But i got my latest blood panel, apart from my very low hemoglobin, all my autoimmune markers are slowly improving. The truth is that i chose to lessen the stressors in my life and put my wellbeing first… on November 3, 2023, i initiated our breakup. It was a well thought out decision based on choosing to do what’s best for me now. I’m dealing with so much and my love life isn’t a priority.
To protect my family’s privacy, please allow me to not give details about something that’s weighing heavily in our hearts (if you can pray for my sisters too, in the way you’re praying for me, sobra sobra ang pasasalamat ko)… Maraming salamat po, against all odds i am slowly getting better and by God’s grace my autoimmune thyroiditis has gone into remission. And also because my doctors caught it early enough, my 5th autoimmune, the mixed connective tissue disease which was strongly pointing towards RA (rheumatoid arthritis) or SLE (lupus) in my latest panel seem to not be a present threat.
From 5, i’m now just battling 3, BUT 1 of them is the main contrabida because it’s life threatening. THANK YOU for your prayers. God really is listening. #grateful
All i can say is i love you, i super appreciate your effort to visit, and even if it was a gloomy day, you were the much needed reminder that after all the storms, we can look forward to a RAINBOW 🌈… i’ve missed you, as in SUPER. 50% less yung sakit nung biological injectable ko at 1 PM after seeing you, please visit again & often? Diba may bedroom ka na? Thank you for until now (16 years & counting) genuinely caring for & trusting me; super sad your ka-birthday because he arrived 10 mins after you left.
Videographer & the person kimmy’s ate contacted to coordinate was vice gov @markleviste- we’ve both learned from our mistakes…with God’s help sana tuloy tuloy na yung harmonious and supportive relationship namin. Thank you bimb for helping us realize all the things we needed to repair in order to strengthen our commitment.
Thank you to all of you who are praying for me, slowly gumaganda my numbers. That’s because of the power of our collective prayers. God’s rewarding our #faith. Roughly 15 more months of treatment, but i’m alive and hopeful; tuloy ang LABAN, bawal sumuko. #grateful
i chose the midpoint between my mom’s 14th death anniversary and my dad’s upcoming 40th death anniversary to THANK ALL OF YOU who continue to PRAY for my recovery. My dad immediately died after being shot while descending the stairs to the tarmac of what was then Manila International Airport, 21 August 1983. My Mom died of Stage 4 colon Cancer on 1 August 2009. Upon initial diagnosis our mom was given 3 months BUT she fought hard, knowing her 5 kids weren’t ready. Our Mom underwent all the most painful treatments and God granted us 17 more months. It’s been 17 months since my Churg Strauss/EGPA diagnosis.
Dr. Malika Gupta gave me my 2nd dose of a biological injectable (unfortunately not available in the 🇵🇭) to help lower my very high IgE (please google, BORING sa haba kung i-define ko)… She calls me a “bad-ass” because kinakaya ko even though malapot at mahapdi yung ini-inject at malalim kailangan ibaon yung prefilled high tech syringe. Yes, matapang na ko sa halos lahat ng kailangan pagdaanan at mataas ang pain tolerance ko. It’s the AFTERMATH, 72 hours feeling kagaya nung bigat after a Covid vaccine but x3. Yes, parang 3X akong na Pfizer or Moderna. This will be every other week, optimistically for me to reach “remission” over the next 10 to 12 months.
Every other Tuesday, it’s both my biological injectable PLUS methotrexate (my chemotherapy medication taken 1x/week, being used as an immunosuppressant to help me reach remission for 3 of my autoimmune conditions).
Thank you because our prayers are being answered- my last blood panel showed improvement- it’s slow progress, i have a long way to go… it’s likely that after a few months another medication will be introduced to my body by UCLA’s Dr Belperio- BUT I AM, against all odds (because of all my limitations with medicinal options), FINALLY, ON THE CORRECT PATH TO REMISSION and A BETTER QUALITY OF LIFE. Thank you to all. THANK YOU, GOD. #faith

THANK YOU for your continued PRAYERS, i don’t have my complete blood panel results yet BUT GUMANDA my inflammatory numbers in particular my C-reactive protein and my E-sedimentation rate. Hopefully in the next few days i’ll have my IgE, IgG, IgM and ANA results. (As usual, please google?) Wag na natin discuss my CBC, as always i’m still very anemic (it’s been a problem even before my autoimmune conditions were diagnosed)… i don’t know what good i did but i know i’m surviving all the side effects of methotrexate and my biological injectable because God is listening to all your prayers for my healing. #faith
Praying more that in 18 to 20 months i’ll reach remission and after 6 months i’ll have my doctors’ clearances and we can go home. i miss my sisters, my cousins, my 🇵🇭doctors, my close friends, and of course all of you… It’s already been 16 months.
We’re already settled in our rental home – location wise,this is my long wished for vibe – we have a pool in the back with an unobstructed view of the blue sea and with this super fresh, cool sea breeze… plus we’re only 10 minutes away from 1 of my doctors.
P.S. my sisters urged me to make my current status very CLEAR. I AM NOT IN A RELATIONSHIP, we no longer communicate, and my sons and i feel more PEACEFUL. No details because i value my privacy and respect his, and i chose to only give the FACTS that should be addressed.
Again, THANK YOU for your compassion to keep me & my family in your thoughts and prayers. 😇 Orange County, California
There’s something i chose not to reveal but i feel i must. There were some abnormalities in my blood panel. My hemoglobin hit an all time low, my sodium was as always low, BUT my potassium also dropped. If I want to get healthier it starts with my nutrition. Hindi ko kaya ang iron supplements. Starting next week i’ll be getting iron infusions. My Churg Strauss syndrome can affect many organs because it causes damage to blood vessels. My lungs have already shown some minor damage, but my now heart is showing signs of exhaustion- just to pump blood that lacks nutrients all over my body, kailangan mag overcompensate…
Dr Malika explained to me that my heart rate going up to 130-135 after taking a shower, my constant constant dizzy spells, and headaches are already a warning for me that unless i start trying to eat real food and not rely on milk alone, i could be among the 7 out of 10 patients with Churg Strauss who attribute their death to heart failure.
Bimb prepared the green juice: cucumber, apple, and a lot of spinach. Baby steps, kale will come soon- my food intake is really a problem. And my weight loss. I was knocked out because of my exhaustion from having both my Dupixent & Methotrexate injected into me on Wednesday, so I missed our Thanksgiving celebration. Tomorrow, Sunday if my chronic sinusitis has stopped, i’ll try to walk around with Bimb & my nurse. Bawal ang unnecessary stress. Let’s please continue praying for one another.
Kuya isn’t wearing a turban, that’s my sleep mask… The reasons i refuse to give up… and the TRUTH i owe you (i forgot to say thank you in the art cards to marc @markleviste for staying until bimb was a day away from finishing his medicine. )
