One Year To The Day
2008-03-31 22:54:00 It is one year to the day when a controversial, polarizing and eye-opening blog entry on Atheista.net was published for literally hundreds of people to see. Though a lot of people would rather forget about this incident, I think it’s one shining moment wherein a lot of people chose to take a relatively less popular ... More About: Year
After A Full Month Of Visit Sagada
2008-03-30 18:49:00 Visit Sagada was a project that was started almost purely on impulse and one month in, I’m just startled and amazed at how great the reception has been. Despite minimal press from other bloggers, Visit Sagada has definitely taken off quite nicely. It’s actually quite refreshing that most of the traffic, comments and e-mails ...

The Grand Plan To Affirm One?s Ego
2008-03-21 10:44:00 When one is exposed to an act that supposedly showcases self-sacrifice and love that seeks nothing in return, it’s easy to get lost in the melodrama and forget the nuances of the entire situation. Who wouldn’t be moved at the thought of someone you don’t know willingly suffering through hours of flagellation and a ... More About: Grand , Plan , The Grand
Atonement
2008-03-20 07:29:00 Since I’m not really into reading a lot of fiction, I only encountered the name Ian McEwan when I grabbed my copy of Richard Dawkins The God Delusion. As you would expect, Dawkins’ book is more a cerebral book that buttresses Atheism and is nothing like McEwan’s most distinguished work to date Atonement . Apparently, McEwan ...
Bioethics Discussions: Case 1
2008-03-13 18:14:00 My classmates knew that the Bioethics small group discussion was going to be interesting. Days before the actual activity, they were already reminding me not to dominate the session. Something tells me they were anticipating fireworks. Sadly, it wasn’t meant to be. Most -if not all- of my block mates are intelligent, open-minded ... More About: Case
The First I-Witness Docu Seminar

Youth Voice: The Ego Spa
2008-02-28 15:44:00 Just mere hours after I left my post at the Philippine General Hospital Pediatric Emergency Room, I found myself walking to the National Commission For Culture And The Arts in Intramuros. I signed up for a taping of the NBN 4 show Youth Voice . I’ve been to Youth Voice before but nothing would have prepared ...
Visit Sagada!
2008-02-24 08:11:00 If you’re not yet aware that I’m crazy about Sagada, then it’s very likely that you’re not really a frequent reader of this blog. As proven of my entries here, here, here and here, I’ve long found the charm and the draw of this Mountain Province town too much to deny. ... More About: Visit
The New Media: Bloggers As A Force
2008-02-23 18:05:00 When the Malu Fernandez erupted, it sent a strong and loud message that bloggers have established some degree of clout and critical mass when it came to getting the word out and breaking stories before traditional media could get them out to public consciousness.

Why Jumper Sucks
2008-02-15 10:57:00 By now, you probably know that Jumper totally failed to live up to the hype and just left most of those who watched in a total state of disgust and frustration.

Davao Photo
2008-02-12 16:00:00 I’m used to seeing the words Davao Photo on my Yahoo Messenger window courtesy of Alleba, so it’s quite a shock to see somebody else seemingly promoting a blog about photos of Davao. To my surprise, the link points to a different site. Featuring other people’s blogs on my own site has been ...
Did We Save A Life?: The Thalassemia Consult
2008-02-11 15:00:00 Thalassemia is definitely not one of the ball park disease that most people would be familiar with. That’s probably the reason why it’s so hard to accept for a mother with nothing much apart from the clothes on her back that her five year old daughter has something so alien and something she has never ...

Important Issues For the 2010 National Elections
2008-02-09 08:47:00 This is in response to Janette Toral’s tag. It’s quite noble to analyze the dynamics of an upcoming election despite already knowing how elections are usually played out in this country. It’s no big secret that those who decide the election are the misinformed masses who wouldn’t really care about issues. We would be lucky if these people would even give a token glance on issues before making up their minds on who to vote for. Politics is a simple game of persuasion wherein a box of liquor (during a supposed alcohol ban) and a few hundred pesos per voter could change the fates of candidates. Cynicism has its place in elections because society has not properly empowered the voters. To a certain extent, society doesn’t exactly promote healthy debates and arguments to occur due to the Filipino concept of pakikisama (compromising to get along) and conformity. Aside from the Charter Change issue, is there any other big concept out there that is contentio... More About: Elections , National , Issues
A Week Before Atheista.net Turns 1
2008-02-09 05:19:00 I find it very interesting that Atheista.net is just about to have its first year anniversary. In less than a year of its existence, I think this blog has featured articles that introduced a new perspective never before expressed with much gusto and magnitude to the growing Philippine Blog Community. A year’s worth of traveling, competing, debating, song-writing, vocal-cords-busting, TV whoring and saving lives (yes, this has become my favorite euphemism for med school) has been encapsulated and immortalized through this website - as long I have the money to pay for hosting! And that’s just the non-blogging relating things that I managed to squeeze into my schedule. I’m just amazed at what a year could do. Here’s to more years with Atheista. :p Viewed 266 times by 169 viewers More About: Week
New 7 Wonders of Nature: Vote For Tubbataha
2008-02-07 12:19:00 After pissing off Egyptians in a ploy to update the list of the seven man-made wonders of the world, New7Wonders Foundation is at it again. The voting for the New 7 Wonders Of Nature is now underway with the 77 nominees from all over the world duking it out for the 21 slots reserved for the finalists. Only sites with an official committee to support the nomination were allowed to continue and by the looks of things, it’s quite easy to see that it will be a very contentious and divisive race to the top. The Philippines is represented by the biologically diverse enchilada of the Tubbataha Reef in the Sulu Sea. The prohibitive location and price of Tubbataha has made it quite a novel destination for the everyday traveler, but for the serious divers, naturalists and underwater photographers, the reef has long been a treasure trove of stunning discoveries and unforgettable experiences. Due to the remoteness of the reef itself and to further protect the underwater environment, divi... More About: Vote

The TriNoMa Bloggers Food Tour: The Honor Roll
