Just a little patience

Up to my neck with work and school lately.  Fieldwork will come soon, right after Holy Week, so we’re doing last-minute tasks to make the transition in the clinic as smooth as possible.  And by the by, we’re also busy reviewing for exams and preparing required reports before the sem ends.  Few months to go and [...]

Bad Bugs, New Diseases, Updates

Attended a 2-day postgrad course on infectious diseases and tropical medicine at RITM.  All topics are relevant to me.  We learned more about common infectious diseases, enlightened about new emerging diseases (some actually old already), and updated on challenges facing us today, particularly drug resistance.  Bugs are becoming more resistant than ever to our arsenal [...]

The M/V Doulos Experience

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
We went to South harbor and hopped on board the MV/Doulos when we learned that this Noah’s Ark of books is back.  2007 was supposedly its last dock at our shores when they changed itinerary and came back to our country.  Lucky we, because we were given the chance to see it for ourselves–since this [...]

The Spiral

Had  a post-birthday dinner celebration with my Hon at The Spiral in Sofitel, home of the best and longest buffet in the country.  It highlights almost any cuisine imaginable and the choices are so dizzying that just looking at them will make you full. As expected, I went home loosening my belt.  Fine dining in this luxury [...]

 Time Cover in March 12, 1979, the day I was born into this world.  30 years here I come!  Ron Law will continue to run!  And be no. 1!

From dreams to reality

I’m posting my Toastmaster Speech # 3 (Get to the Point) in the Competent Communication manual: 
FROM DREAMS TO REALITY
Do you dream in color or in black and white? The answer to this, I thought then, is related to one’s level of imagination. That one who has rich imagination dreams in color while another with dull [...]

Watchmen

Visceral and cerebral.  This is how I’d describe this movie adaptation of the Alan Moore graphic novel.  But this might still be an understatement.  The movie is visually stunning, thrilling every step of the way (chills down one’s spines), and morally evocative as well. The characters are fantastically cast but my favorite is Rorschach, the [...]

Taken

What would you do if you’re daughter is taken by criminal syndicates abroad?  And you know how to get her and you have what it takes as you have killer skills in the literal sense of the word?  This is the plot of this thriller movie.  The action escalates with every unfolding scene.  Liam Neeson [...]
