I wrote before about a simple test to predict heart attack being offered by Rapha Health Institute, a medical clinic specializing in anti-aging and alternative medicine in Greenbelt 5.

Typhoon Pedring aftermath photos – Roxas Boulevard
I took these pictures of Roxas Boulevard this morning in the aftermath of typhoon Pedring.

I probably feel biased because I drive to work here everyday and the view of Manila Bay, amid the tree-lined boulevard, is totally superb. ... Continue Reading...

Am just thankful that our great suburb of Paranaque has been spared from the wrath of the floods that afflicts most areas ... Continue Reading...

It's in the same low-rise complex where Sunburst Fried Chicken and a Xiamen restaurant ... Continue Reading...
