Lung cancer and melanoma patients, particularly those in the advanced stages, can now explore a new option in treatment through a breakthrough called immunotherapy which has lesser known side effects than chemo. In serious cases of cancer, a protein found in the tumor called the Programmed Death-Ligand 1 (PD-L1) deactivates the immune system's T-cells so they become incapable of recognizing and destroying cancer cells.

Chasing the fountain of youth with #Restylane
A few events are life-changing in my life as a blogger.

Indoor cycling is the exercise program that got me hooked in 2015. It all started last April when a work colleague clued me in on this invite only pop-up cycling studio in Makati that was offering a free trial class. The word FREE was enough to make email the folks of Electric Studio for a slot. I didn't have have an inkling that I was asking for free punishment as well, LOL.
