Anti dengue campaign launched
Rainy days are here, and it's during this season that moms like me go on a full alert. Somehow there seems to be a higher incidence of diseases like flu, diarrhea and pneumonia when the rains come. Of course, there's also the much dreaded dengue - a viral disease caused by the Aedes Aegypti mosquito which is common in a tropical country like the Philippines. It is very timely that the Department of Health (DOH) together with the Philippine Pediatric Society (PPS) and pharmaceutical manufacturer GlaxoSmithKline have banded together in spearheading a campaign called ...

Rambla in Rockwell : a taste of Barcelona in Manila
In my photo archives was that sublime experience I had dining in Las Flores at the Fort last year. Somehow I got too lazy and busy and never got to blog about it. Now that I dined in Las Flores' sister-restaurant Rambla last week, I will not let the opportunity pass.
