A desperate situation...

A friend once said...

People lose their health to make money; then lose their money to restore their health. By thinking anxiously about the future, they forget their present such that they live neither for the present nor the future.

They live as if they will never die, and they die as if they have never lived.

Take each day as it comes, and live each day to the fullest.

I am one of those who is guilty of this... I focused so much on trying to provide for my family that I lost track of my self and now I am paying the price...

What makes things a lot worse is the fact that when the time came where I needed to nurse my self back, I lose my source of income due to some unforeseen events... Even though I have my family to support me, they can only do so much and I can only ask for so much... And now, my problems are piling up, my debts are getting bigger and I hardly have enough to get by...

Desperate situations call for desperate moves...

This is one of the major reasons that pushed me to join Biggest Loser Asia... Not only to help nurse my self back to health so I can do the things I am missing out on with my family but, to get a chance at a little bit of fame and the fortune that comes with it... In BLA, whether you win or lose, you have a chance in gaining some sort of endorsement package and a little publicity to help you find better opportunities to cover for the near and hopefully the far future as well...

I did my very best on audition day and in spite of what's been happening in my life, I hope and pray that God gives me the chance to take part in the show so I can not only nurse my self back to health but nurse my family back to a decent life...

So, if anybody from BLA gets the chance to read all this, I would like to thank you for the opportunity you have given me... It would be a huge blessing and opportunity to be part of the program and I swear, I will do everything it takes to bring my family back on track after being derailed... Whether or not I get chosen to be part of this once in a lifetime experience, you have already given me the inspiration to pick my self up, get back on my two feet and do what I have to do...

With that said, I am a big loser and I intend to capitalize in being one... I am not just doing this for my self but, I am doing this for everybody that I love... Even if I have hit rock bottom, there is no other way except up...

We have all prayed for that one chance to make a difference and be the person we should be for ourselves and for the ones we love... Will BLA be mine? I sure hope so...

This is for my kids, Coby, Jamie, Jaina... I love you all and please know that I always want to be the father that I should be... And to everybody else who has been there for me, you know who you are, thank you for the support and for inspiring me... And sorry for the shortcomings that you have suffered because of me...
