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. With immunotherapy, this interaction is blocked so that T-cells can detect and ward off the cancer cells. In a symposium on "The Future of ... Continue Reading...
New ways to cook with Spanish sardines this Lent
Holy Week 2016 is upon us and you know what this means. A lot of people in this Catholic-dominated country will be fasting or just resort to eating fish, vegetables and seafood. I happen to be one of those who have taken a vow to just eat light for Lent and give up on the gluttony. So I was really glad when the lovely PR of Mega Creations sent me a few bottles of their Premium Sardines (Spanish Style).This is exactly the kind of stuff I eat this season. Sardines is reputed to be a good source of essential Omega 3 fatty acids, aside from being very high in calcium ... Continue Reading...
Review of Regal Airport Hotel & their HK Disneyland package
Staying NEAR Hong Kong Disneyland is one cost-friendly option that tourists can consider when visiting the theme park. That's right. You don't have to stay in Disneyland because the room only package was quite pricey the last time I looked.

My internet surfing led me to the website of Regal Airport Hotel and I was glad to stumble upon their Disneyland room package which I thought was good value. For as low as HKD$2288 for a superior room, the package already ... Continue Reading...

When in Hong Kong, I happily recommend going on a wild goose chase (pardon the pun) in any of the 1 star Michelin restaurants that serve, well....the famed roasted goose! One might argue that we have every imaginable franchise food chain in Manila but not these restos. Their locations are kinda out of the way (hence 'goose chase) but you can easily satisfy your tummy and tastebuds for less than HKD$100.Now who can argue with that? The first restaurant I tried a few years ago was Yat Lok over at Stanley St. in Central. The roasted goose was so juicy and flavorful ... Continue Reading...
Hong Kong Flower Show 2016
I enjoyed the Hong Kong Flower Show 2013 and it was a lucky coincidence that I am in HK again for the flower show's 2016 edition! Even better: the family was billeted in Causeway Bay which was just a short walk away from the show's venue in Victoria Park. Entrance to the HK Flower Show is HKD$14 while for kids it's only $7. The event is organized annually by the Leisure and Cultural Services Department of Hong Kong and if you want to see this next year, make sure you are in the territory by second week of March. For 2016, the show runs until March 20. Can't ... Continue Reading...
