The vitiligo that almost ruined my life, how it all started.

Trying to do a recollection on how my vitiligo started.
It all started when I was working for Data General Philippines as an associate technical support engineer under the MIS department. I was also enrolled in Roosevelt College Marikina taking up Bachelor of Science in Commerce major in Computer Science. And I'm also a family man who needs to look for my two (2) growing up daughters while my wife was too busy as a store manager in a famous appliance store.
Stress is the real culprit of my vitiligo, though my grandmother on my mother side is also inflicted with this skin disease.
As far as I can remember, the company sent me for a training in the Unites States in Southborough, Massachusetts of December 1997 and it is  winter season. After the two(2) weeks training and reporting back to work, I noticed this small white circle on my right index finger. Of course I did not put too much attention that time.  Looking back, that is where it all started.

 Kalabasa o Squash Kinalakihan natin and kalabasa. Kasabihan ng ating mga magulang na magaling na bitamina para sa mga mata  ang pagkain ng kalabasa. Madalas ito ay iniluluto sa may gata na  may kasamang chicharon na baboy at sitaw. Puede rin na ginisang kalabasa at sitaw na may giniling. Ang pinakasikat ay pakbet, kaya lang ay iwasan ang bagoong. Para sa kaalaman ng lahat, ito ay kulay orange, na isa sa magaling na kainin ng may mga  vitiligo. Mataas sa Vitamin a na magaling na antioxidant at mainam sa balat at paningin. Kung ating aayusin ang ating mga kinakain, sigurado ako na titigil ang pagdami ng vitiligo.
