“Itong ubo ko duda ko na-inlab na sakin. Ayaw ako iwan. Bad congestion ayaw lumabas. Am also scheduled for an MRI asap because my former MRI-results from years ago showed that I have a torn ligament on my right knee, plus a pinched nerve on my lower back. I have scoliosis too which two hospitals saw when I had my lungs X-rayed,” she revealed.
Cuneta noted that she is terrified of what could be the reason for what she is feeling and how her body works at the moment.
“I need to know why now my pinched nerve has ‘traveled’ to the right side of my body and/or if I have any new injuries and such. I’ve been limping since our trip to Seoul from January 2-10 for my birthday and it’s just gotten worse so am scared. May I ask for your prayers please?” she said.
The “Bituing Walang Ningning” star recalled how her childhood got set aside to make way for her career, noting that she had missed some important milestones.
“I have been thinking of all the times I fell off a horse since I was younger before I made movies or during filming. Siempre pag bata ka, di mo pa nararamdaman tapos sisingilin ka pag tumatanda ka na. Haaay,” lamented the actress.
“Di ko na-experience ang end ng childhood ko at puberty phase ko kagaya ng mga normal na tao, kasi naging singer at artista na ako at pumapasok pa sa school. I kind of missed out on that all-important phase of my life but I loved my work so much!” she added.
Cuneta explained that her “childlike attitude” nowadays is one of her coping mechanisms to make peace with growing old and reiterated her appeal for prayers amid her health condition.
“My fan-girling to my childlike attitude nowadays is for me ways to re-live and enjoy that phase of growing up kahit in small ways lang. Living vicariously through my children and by keeping my childlike attitude—from my faith in God to enjoying my ‘little girl/teenager’ self now that I’m much older keeps me young!” she said.
“‘Never gonna grow up!’ Ayoko! I’ll always be a little girl inside. Kaya huhuhu gusto ko makipag-break sa katawan kong may mga aches and pains kasi nireremind ako lagi na 58 na ako! Haaaayy… Please, if you can pray for me? I pray that the MRI results won’t be too scary. And that this virus I caught anuman siya goes away na,” concluded the megastar.
