The Fork
2007-10-18 16:17:00 The Philippine Blogging Community has successfully transformed a vibrant network of webpages and journals into even livelier off-line blogger meetups and events.

2007-10-16 16:12:00 It’s always fun to go to parties and just socialize with the other guests. It’s quite easy to make people leave their couches and beds on any given weekend if they’re promised a good meal, freebies and few drinks.

Let Them Take Offense!
2007-10-05 17:19:00 Seriously, I’m tired of reading posts by know-it-alls who claim that people don’t have the right to feel insulted, hurt and slighted. There’s a reason why the concept of feelings came into existence. It’s all relative and it varies from person to person. One person has no right to tell another that what he ...

UPRHS Alumni: Ma?am Advincula Needs Our Help
2007-09-20 22:02:00 Two days ago, I visited my third year Filipino teacher. Word quickly spread that she was confined somewhere in Manila due to her long-standing heart condition.

Apparently, it wasn’t an acute disease process. ... More About: Needs

Volunteering At The Cancer Institute
2007-09-19 17:46:00 My current rotation in Family Medicine has proved to be a bit more benign (in UP Manila speak, not that taxing), so I impulsively went to “volunteer” for night duty at Philippine General Hospital’s Cancer Institute .
