Living in the City

Our country is reeling off from the machinations of politicians who have been egging all and sundry to go back to the streets again (ala EDSA 1) to force PGMA to resign. Har! Di pa tayo sawa sa mga politikong yan? I have never asked anything from any politician. For the last 30 years of my adult life wala akong ginawa kundi bumoto, magbayad ng tax, sumunod sa batas at lahat ng kailangang gawin ng isang mabuting mamayan ay ginawa ko na yata. Kaya please, baka sabihin ng iba diyan, bayaran o "paid hack"ako ni GMA. And saken lang, okey lang express natin dis-appointment natin sa mga katiwalian (sigurado meron ano) na nangyayari sa gobyerno niya (eh kaninong gobyerno ba wala?) pero tama na ang people power. Let the proper forum decide her guilt if ever. What we can perhaps do is heed to what the CBCP articulated in their statement. If I can remember correctly, the statement mentioned the ff: 1. Ayusin ng mga politiko ang ginagawa nila. Both Houses. Mga Congressm...

From a very distinguished Doctor who was my high school classmate. Hello Malou, Advanced Happy Birthday and I thank you again for your help in the creation of a textbook for world audience. I will donate one to the UP College of Medicine. As you see below, you are acknowledged. The book will be out in print, 600 pages, color coming Feb 2012, so I am quite up to my neck in making this happen. Sorry if I miss the big event and apologize to all.   ACKNOWLEDGMENTS   We, at the onset, would like to express our gratitude to the staff of Wiley-Blackwell Publishers, and especially to our ever gracious medical editor, Thom Moore. Since we may not be able to thank all the staff who made this book possible, we ask leave for not including everyone. I would like also thank my former mentors who started me on the path to hematopathology: Dr. Jen Lin of New York and Drs. Dick Neiman and Atillio Orazi, formerly of Indianapolis, where I had my hematopathology fellowship. S...

Health Benefits of Lavender Essential Oil I love massaging a combined mixture of lavender essence oil with  virgin coconut massage oil. It really does wonders to the many "old age"  aches in my body.

Travel and the  time of your life At 25,  you start thinking of having your own family.  Exciting to be young. Dreamland, well it felt that way. The wedding and then just like in the movies the scenes played out right before your eyes,  the  trips back home with babies in your arms.  Blissful  love peppered  time.  But, there were sadness too.  Partner and all, children in tow.  Life punctuated with  christenings, countless birthdays, anniversaries,  and holidays. They all  added up to the glitter of  an already  full professional life.  There were dozens of dull times too, making choices, praying that joyful times would drown out the noisy part of  both  job and  family.  In between being a daughter, mothering and the better halfing, the professional life seemed to have flourished as well. How could I have all done that? Not without the hard work. The  sleepless nights....
