This is my blog since April 2005.. I had an undercut hair back then due to my open-close brain surgery in January 2005.. I blog whatever I want to.. Sadness & Happiness.. Pain & Happiness.. Disappointment & Happiness.. Happy happy joy joy! Eventhough how bad the situation may seem, I still squeeze the positive aspect in it.. Life is beautiful!

    I created this blog when my original blog disappeared without notice in August 2007.. I was so sad & disappointed with what had happened.. I kept on contacting blogger begging to bring back my blog.. I was sad, disappointed & kinda mad but I decided to move and created a new blog.. Luckily, underKCAT came back after a week (I really don't know what happened) but I didn't abandon this new old blog.. Instead, I cross-post everything I write in underKCAT and even from my multiply blog, and whatever I want to post..

    I already have a Cochlear Implant, which makes me have a bionic ear.. And I like calling myself: Bionic Kcat the Tumor Raider.. Sounds like a super hero.. Haha! I write here everything I hear since my CI got activated on May 16, 2008.. I document everything I hear.. This is my journey to hearing the noisy world again..

    I'm sick & can't do a lot of things.. But that doesn't hinder me from living, being happy, & doing the things I want that I can.. Art is my passion.. Using my creative skills makes me happy.. My left hand is paralyze & I am left-handed.. But our hand id just a tool, my brain is working (with the tumors. haha) beside I stil have a spare hand.. My right.. Haha! And most of all, thanks to my computer! I could do A LOT everytime I'm infront of the PC..

    I also have a blog in my multiply site.. But what I like most is the online photo album.. I can't smile for the camera but I love to pose for cam.. I want every occasion to be captured so that I could upload & share it.. I wanna share how beautiful life is.. As what I always say: I may not smile but I'm happy..

    I had a dream.. I hoped & wished & prayed.. I met a lot of fairy godmothers & fairy godfathers.. They made my wish come true.. This is the reason why I'm hearing & will hear clearer soon.. This is my dream which came true..

    Most of the videos I made are because of boredom or I just trip on it.. I also make AVP for people in their, birthdays, wedding, christening, etc.

    One of the definitions of the word 'scrappy' is full of fightingspirit.. I'm fighting.. I'm living with life.. Anyway, these are my scraps and latest artworks..

Every cent counts
    I'm not really asking for money, buying from me is much better.. But you you can donate if you like.. There's no big or small in helping, it's the HELP that matters..
