A Prayer To Heaven

I know the pain of losing your love ones.  I  felt their pain and anguished.  Those people at the door of Sulpicio lines office screaming, it made me cry.  My heart felt their pains, their heartaches, their helplessness.  After seeing the news on TV, my tears would just flow down my cheeks and I can not sleep , their cries would echo in my ears.  For a week now, every time I read the newspaper, I have to wear my shades to cover my feeling from strangers.  Those people who lost their relatives on board of that cruise ship needs closure, some of them were insulted by the money offered by the owner.  It's really not about the money but the pain of losing love ones.

My prayer goes to my kababayan and to our country.  We need to be strong in this trying times and I need to let this feeling out kasi I have trouble sleeping.  

God Almighty, eternal rest grant unto them and let your Perpetual Light shine upon them, Amen.

It's a good thing that Manny Pacquiao brought some glory to our country. Congratulation Champ!  You bring hope to us, too

A simple graduation

This is my surgery batch mates.  It's a simple graduation rite held inside the audio-visual room of Metropolitan Hospital located at Masangkay Street, Tondo Manila.  My mentor here is Dr Lucinda Valderama aka Dr. V.. She's seated at the front seat 2nd from the left and brainchild of this program is Dr. Chung 3rd seat (wearing a beige blazer)..............  Congratulations to all of my friends (A Toast !!!)

My mentor

Well, when there's a convention I'm pretty sure I'll get to see some of my former classmates in college and in post graduate studies.  I'm so glad to see my college professor Dr. C Ramos in the wet clinic (Endodontics & Prosthodontics) and this is her turf. As you can see all those dentists are enthusiastically asking questions.  Filipino dentists can be at par with its international counterparts given the chance to have those state of the art equipments, nothing is impossible. Since most of the local dentist are exposed to latest technologies, I can say we are taking it to the next level........ We can achieve everything!

"Taking PHILIPPINE DENTISTRY to the Next Level"

That's the theme of Philippine Dental Association (est. 1908)  this year.  Its 100 years was celebrated from april 28 to may 2, 2008 at the newly built SMX Convention Center located at Pasay City.   I'm proud to be part of this great institution.  I'm also a member of the Manila Dental Society which is one of the pioneer affiliate chapter of PDA.  Anyways I want to show you the venue where it was held.
