She's a woman every man is looking for, she seems perfect to the eyes. Graceful and fascinating as she moves her body. There is something that makes her unique... She's one of a kind for you will surely learn valuable from her and she's worth remembering for.

It was late 80's when she had her first blood test. She was diagnosed as a borderline anemic and was given supplements to ward off the onslaught of the dreaded disease. She promised to be more careful. However, the situation became worst as it turned into a hypochondriac.

The next blood test happened on the mid 90's. The doctor prescribed her stress tablets and a mild sedative to soothe her troubled nerves instead of telling her the thought of truth. She took everything in good faith with the thought that everything would soon be back to normal.

But she was wrong, deadly wrong. Over the next couple of years, she became depressed and suicidal. Her self-destructive tendencies became so bad that she was unconciously inflicting wounds upon her flesh. She wasn't exactly what would you call a slasher, but she got numerous lacerations on her wrists and arms due to carelessness. It seemed the world ended up to her. She didn't care anymore what would happen to herself.

Do you know why fate seems angry to her? It was because of one big mistake. She dethroned herself in a wrong corner and that was falling inlove with the wrong guy. Faith and trust turned her into the great misery of being inflicted with AIDS.

Now she looks back on that incident with great regret. If only she hadn't given in to his advances, but it was too late. Her youthful recklessness got the better of her. She painted herself into the dark corner. Now she's trapped and the only way to set herself free is to come out in the open and reveal the fact that she has been inflicted with HIV.

The symptoms are already there; the unexplained weight loss, the recurrent flu. There's nothing she can do to hide from the reality. Death would be a welcome release from this uncertainty. There are times when she feels it would be best to just end it all. She can simply put herself into a deep sleep by taking an overdose of tranquilizers and never wake up again. But that would be a sheer cowardice. Besides, she considers life as a treasured sacrament. It is a gift from God and she's thankful enough for allowing her to live longer.

Better to get a second opinion, but fear run through her for the cost of medication is already driving the family to bankruptcy. The cost of hospitalization can be dizzingly high.

At present, her school thesis lies unfinished and she's unemployed. Some people probably think she is just a useless scrap of humanity.

Some who heard her story might criticize and judge her. But each of us has a purpose in life. The fact that she's still alive and kicking is an enough proof that she still has a goal to achieve and God still has a plan for her.

Those who might read this and think something's wrong in her life that couldn't find a way to get out, just feel and touch the invisible thread that leads you to a dozen of solution and will pay back rich dividends in the future.

Don't lose hope, move on and stand where you feel down because another opportunity might just be waiting.
