Dr. Michael Tan ran an interesting commentary yesterday about the health and cultural implications of circumcision - or the lack thereof. Even though the topic is quite off for this blog, I think it's thrilling to write about something that never fails to elicit the most laughs and/or rabid opinions from my friends, especially the male ones. Believe me, our long-held beliefs on the matter is enough to bring us back to the Middle Ages, a belief that is now the subject of growing medical debate: should we or should we not circumcise? ...

Viaje del Sol: A Roadmap to Leisure
San Pablo church Even as I've read about it before, my personal encounter with Viaje del Sol happened during my short stay in Tahanan ni Aling Meding.

The wife tweaked her(sleeping) husband's phone so that she'll know where he is at any given point in time.. on her cellphone. Unluckily for the hubby, he was caught lying several times (possibly at the following locations: Pasig, Pasay & Sta. Mesa, hehe). A married close friend of mine also finds the Where-Is function handy and am glad that as a single unattached Globe user, am spared from such unnecessary intrusions into my privacy. ...
