Gabii sa Kabilin last May 27, 2011

The Ramon Aboitiz Foundation Inc.(RAFI) once again led the Gabii sa Kabilin even held last May 27, 2011. Eleven (11) museums and seven heritage sites participated this year, opening their doors to the public from 6pm to midnight. Hundreds braved the rains to visit these sites and learn Cebu's cultural heritage. The event showcased Cebu's past. It was indeed a very educational trip for many.

Scenes from the Night of Heritage are shown in the slideshow below:


I have one suggestion for the participating museums and heritage sites though. I suggest that they play the appropriate music next time to match the environment of each museum. Like in the Cathedral Museum, it would be better if they play Church music. In the Museo Parian, music that will reflect Chinese influence or Visayan songs. No rock music for any museum please.

It was just this year that I stumbled upon Blog Rounds, a blog carnival participated in by a good number of Filipino doctors who blog. Blog Rounds is now in Season 2 and going on its second edition. Blog Rounds is still open to physician-bloggers out there.

Why my mom's picture is not my Facebook profile pic on Mother's Day

I look at my Facebook wall and my Facebook friends' profile pictures and I see either their respective mom's solo picture or a photo of these persons beside their moms.

Yes, it is Mother's day but I decided NOT to put any picture of my mom in my Facebook profile. Why?

NBA 2011 Playoffs: Getting to be More Interesting

It is the Playoffs of the NBA 2011 and many are glued to their cable TV sets to cheer for their favorite NBA team. Well, some who do not have cable TV but have internet connection wish are currently looking for live NBA streaming. Coming into the playoffs by the way, I have my Yahoo Fantasy basketball team winning my league. My fantasy team is composed of players who are mostly still playing in the playoffs like Serge Ibaka and Tyson Chandler as well as Zach Randolph. ( A clap for me please...Thank you.)

Now back to the playoff picture. This particular year is a very interesting one. Why? Because of the NBA Playoff standings.

Hand Hygiene, AIDS updates in PSMID Cebu's 1st Biennial Postgrad Course

Hand hygiene is probably a neglected tool in preventing the spread of superbugs and nosocomial infections. Nurses who are most often in contact with patients and instruments in the wards (more often than the physicians even) should be the target of continuing education efforts on infection control and hand washing since they play a bigger role in preventing nosocomial diseases and spread of antimicrobial resistance.

Why celebrate? Why not? Isn't being a blogger worth celebrating?
