Or rather, I asked Maki to interview me. 
Here are the questions:
1) How do you see yourself blogging 3-5 years from now? Will you still blog?
Of course, I’d still be blogging! Even if I’d be very busy with training then, I know I’ll still find the time to update my blog. Actually I see myself blogging ’til the day my fingers are all arthritic and I can’t type on the keyboard anymore. Or maybe until the day I die. Imagine being able to type in your last entry before succumbing to inevitable death. Poetic.
2) What was your most significant experience in blogging?
Meeting various people who leave comments in my posts. It’s different in chatting in most chatrooms because getting to know people in through my blog usually started as discussions about relevant issues.
3) How do you budget your time as an MD and blogger?
I’m not working full-time as a doctor so, I guess I’ve got a day or two available for blogging. And even if I’d become busy working full-time, I think I’d still be blogging. Like make time for it before bedtime or before going to work. It’s just that the number of posts I usually write in a month would obviously dwindle down to just few posts. But, for sure, I’ll be maintaining my blog.
Tesla Roadster: The Ultimate Electric Sports Car
And the look, wow. Finally a zero emission car that give both time to form and function. This car is probably my ultimate dream car. Unlike most green cars, this masterpiece doesn’t look like a shoebox, has an energy mileage that will put most sports car to shame and to top it off it can also outrun most of them.
The Electric Jeepney: NOT made in the Philippines
China created the e-jeepney. I mean come on, we’re Filipinos, the concept of jeepney as a cultural icon is embedded within us. How come we can’t manufacture our own?

Personal Thoughts On The New Ratified Ranking System
As a person who regularly checks my blog’s statistics and rankings every morning. It didn’t took much of a second glimpse for me to notice a sudden change on Pinoy Blogero’s Ratified Rank.
From a previous rank of 125, Pinoy Blogero instantly plummented behind the ranks at 322. Almost 200 ranks behind the original rank! This had me alarmed because I was really aiming for my blog to reach the top 100 of the said rankings. I checked out other blogs and almost all of them have the same problem.
What could have caused the change?After some research, I found out that Ratified.org has undergone a minor reconstruction. Not anymore is Ratified dictated by Technorati authority alone because the PageRank and Feed Subscriptions are now added to the algorithm changing the way how Ratified ranks blogs.
The Biznez of War
Didja knows dat da Philippine government has received $260 million worth of “military aid” from the United States from years 1999 to 2004? Kaya nga ang tanong, bakit di makaya ng powers ng AFP na puksain ang terrorists? Basahin ditoh!
Eh kasi bata
What should be the priority of the 14th Congress? Eradicating poverty is a sweeping goal. I have a proposal: focus on children. Children are not voters but they deserve special attention from politicians. The 2010 presidential election is just three years away and it is feared that socially-relevant bills will be sidestepped by too much politicking.
