Dear Pozzie,
It has been a great journey being HIV positive!
As you may remember I wrote you an email and it
was published dated 23rd June. It was the saddest day of my life when I knew
that I am HIV positive and needs to be deported. Working for 3 years in Abu
Dhabi was indeed a journey to remember. As I look back, the first thing that
comes to my mind is to hate myself for my actions. I almost have what I want to
be... a progressive career being on the top management of the hotel and won
several prestigious awards in the Middle East, nice and comfortable living,
world travel and my in going Canadian Immigration Application. However,
everything just disappeared in just a blink of an eye. 27th June 2013 when I
finally bid farewell to my workmates and leaving them with all questions why my
resignation is very sudden, it was the same day when the Health Authority, take
me Picture and biometrics and put me into Isolation. For me that place is
exactly the opposite of my comfty living. They said, it's not a prison but a
hospital isolation but however you're not free to go out and socialized as you
will be locked in the ward. But in despair and in isolation, it is where I
found God and submit myself to prayers. Realizing that in the past 3 years I
havent got myself into prayers and thanksgiving knowing I almost have
everything. I stayed in the isolation for 24 hours and the police fetch me
there with their service van, though im not being handcuffed but the van seems
like used in transferring a prisoner. I go though the process of being
blacklisted in the immigration and then im free. For now, I back here in Cebu
to start my life and appreciate the beauty of life and of having a grateful and
a life fullbof thanksgiving. At the end, my Dear Sto.Nino de Cebu hadn't
forsaken and leave me alone. I havent have the chance to tell my family nor my
closest friend about my stats. But in sooner time, once I have the courage I'll
do it.
For now, I dont have any health concerns but I
will subject my self for HIV test again maybe not in Cebu coz I know alot of
people in Vicente Sotto and I am afraid that my stats will he revealed. Im looking
for a job and hope to have this job in Manila. There's more to life being HIV
positive. Life has to continue and start all over again and let God be in your
life. I don't know until when I am still fine and in good shape, but I'll used
every single moment of it into thanksgiving and living it to the fullest...

ARE ALL IN THIS TOGETHER.
NO PLHIV is
alone with his or her struggle with HIV!"
