Philippine Elections 2007: Choose wisely
With all the realities I have come to know in the past few days, I feel disappointed in myself somehow for not being more passionate about Philippine politics and government. I wasted a lot of years being indifferent and uninvolved in the state of our country.
Although, I am still not driven to the same passion as I see in most people, I feel there is still something I can do to help our ailing country. And that is to spread my views and maybe inspire people to vote more wisely.
That Smoker’s Cough Could Actually Be Tuberculosis
In our country, tuberculosis is already a common disease among the populace. Doctors, from the young medical clerks to the long-time practicing consultants have fairly developed their clinical eye for tuberculosis – one can spot a TB patient, even from afar. It’s not only the thinness that causes the register. There is something perhaps in the way they look or the way they smell. I cannot really pinpoint exactly. However, one description of a TB patient that I haven’t yet fit in my schema of tuberculosis is the one complaining of a smoker’s cough.
Smoker’s cough is experienced upon waking up. There could be little sputum (or phlegm) production. Most smokers have gotten used to this and would have not mentioned this at all during clinic consultations, unless you ask them.
However, research showed that smokers are at increased risk for tuberculosis. This smoker’s cough could be actually a presentation of pulmonary tuberculosis already.
Diet Coke As Your Daily Vitamins
Did you know that Coke will launch new product? Diet Coke PLUS! It’s still SODA but fortified with vitamins and minerals. Does that appeal to you? 
Uninspired
And I knew this day would come. I knew that sooner or later, I’d be back to my old gloomy self.
I’ve been crying a lot lately — again. So what’s new? I’ve always had all the excuses in the world to remember every little bad thing that happened in the past few years in just one day, and that’s coming from an unmindful scum of the society. And now I feel the need to shower something (someone?) my love with.
Fab.Fearless.Females
Our society and culture have taught us that in order to succeed in this world, one must be like a man… talk like a man… walk like a man… play golf like a man. You know what? Women hate golf (including me). Men succeed because they are skilled and amazing individuals.. not because they are men.
The headlines of the Inquirer today read – RP tops int’l poll of senior women execs. Shouldnt we be proud? I am. Very. Reality check. How many of those senior executives who were women have had to work twice as hard, put in more hours and accept more responsibility than their male colleagues in order for them to climb to the top of the corporate ladder?
in retrospect… » the story behind the 300
it is not very often very often that i review a movie that i saw, in fact, i can only count one where i did a review, and this was about 2 years ago… but this time, there is this itch crawling everywhere on my skin to do this… the fact that i cannot get this out of my head means that i need to put it into words, lest they burst out of me in small but long spurts, until it leaves me but just a wilted husk…
