Manila Patriotic School

I'm the new school dentist of Manila Patriotic School, it's my alma mater (nursery to grade 3 only then transfered to another school). Though it's a small school, it has withstand the test of time. Established in 1912, they have the best preparatory chinese school. I started this january 2008 and so far so good. I love the whackinest of the school children. On my second day of work as I was checking on some of the nursery pupils, a lot of them were asking so many questions. Their inquiries are endearing and very funny. There was this young girl who would talk to me while i was checking on her classmates. Janet, the school nurse would tell her to behave but she won't stop chatting to me until she was asked to wait outside. I find her funny, entertaining and yes talkative. I went to see the pre-schooler and elementary student's school play (Feb 6) their chinese new year show, I really enjoyed the show especially since I met some of the students. A lot of the students are mestiza (mix filipino and chinese parents) so I can relate to them. I really like it to be part of this institution again. Wish that my school would gain more recognition in the future.

Happy New Year

A Blessed and Prosperous New Year to all. Wow how time flies, it's 2008!!! I pray that all your hopes and dreams will come true this year, siempre ako rin pero secreto iyon.

I just renovated my clinic so It was closed from Dec 16,2007 to Jan 6, 2008. I worked overtime to organized my things, ang hirap. Thanks to my sisters Kat, my architect and interior designer and Eve also a designer and organizer. They did a great job.

My body is still in a Holiday/celebratory mood since december (Christmas day next New Year then the Three Kings Jan.6 comes the Feast of Jesus Nazareno of Quiapo Church Jan.9 then the Feast of Sto Nino 3rd week of Jan.) We, filipinos, celebrate the longest christmas holiday on earth unless somebody contest this (please correct me if I'm wrong). We inherited this from our Spaniard ancestors and I'm thankful for their love of life. We learned from them to enjoy life and be very spiritual.

The venue of Olympic 2008: Beijing China that will be on 8-8-2008 that will start at exactly 8 because 8 for chinese means infinity, never ending fortune, a very auspicious date to begin with. In cantonese eight is pronounced as fat that means fortune. "One billion chinese can't be wrong." that's what my papa would say to me. I can't argue with that. Being good in math and how to run a business are what our Chinese ancestors taught us. Philippine is truly blessed kahit ano pang sabihin ng iba. What we lack is a good urban planner to continue what Mayor Atienza started 'BUHAYIN ANG MAYNILA.' I believe in his vision like my family we see beauty in nature. Sana marami pang Parks hindi puro malls. I HATE MALLS ! I LIKE PARKS AND RAMBLAS LIKE IN BARCELONA, SPAIN. IYON !!

Happy New Year!!! Have you seen my dog Paris and her adopted cat Nicole, cute bi ba?
I will show you my brother's exotic pets next time.

cute and lovable

Thanksgiving Day!

What a week it has been. Pinaka show of Ms. Pia Guiano called and asked us if they can feature our restaurants in their show entitled 'the oldiest but goodies restaurant in Manila. They interviewed my brother Benjie for Wah Sun (est. 1955)and my brother-in-law Greg for Ambos Mundos (est. 1888). They were asking for our old photos buti na lang may nakuha kami and it will be shown this coming Dec 3 Sunday. Interview was done on tuesday 11/22/06.
I'm with my patient when my sis (Kathy) called me and said that the TV crew were at the restaurant so I told my patient about it and she said she will watch the show. By the way my patient is the one who had her porcelain jacket crown done by other dentist and redone by me. She really like my work that's why I did her other PJC (1 anterior and 2 posteriors). Yesterday I finished it all and she really like what I've done (the shape and the color) and she said she will come back. That's really Gracia a Dios! I really thank God for all the blessing we are receiving. Today I get to rest and paid my dues. I love my work. It's all about esthetics and art for me.

The World 9 Ball Championship last night at Manila

I get really excited when I watch billiard game. I always make sign of the cross when it's my favorite player turns The likes of Efren Bata Reyes, Francisaco Dyango Bustamante, Manuel Manalo and Luat are some of my favorites. I've seen how they did magic on the table nd I'm so impressed on how they would score on the most impossible situation. I like how they solve the problem and even prouder that they are filipinos. Yesterday for the world 9 ball championship, it's Souquit vs. Alcano. Alcano defeated Bata Reyes but it's okay kasi he lost from a fellow filipino rin. I saw how Alcano handles his game, he's cool and graceful when he's playing, in my mind he's going to be the winner and I was right. It was a very thrilling game I really love billiard game because of the techniques and their problem solving. Filipinos are good in eveything if only they were given a chance they will definitely excel. Now Alcano is in my list of one of the great billiard player. I LOVE THIS GAME!

My pretty sister's B day

I woke up early today and have this light wonderful feeling as if an angel whispered something sweet. Well yesterday me and my siblings bet on superlotto, this morning I check on the winning numbers not a single no. was there but it was megalotto. Superlotto will be drawn tonight not yesterday, wheww!. I'm still crossing my finger kasi it's for my sis' birthday (suerte sana).
I have a patient who wants her porcelain jacket crown redone. It was done by another dentist and she doesn't like the shape and she said it's like a sore thumb sticking out. Well I removed it and have her tooth prepared again to a much smaller size. After I've prepared it and took impression and put temporary crown, she wants her other jacket crowns be done too. I have to beg off and reschedule her because it's my sis birthday siempre familia muna. Sana she will like the finished product. Gracia a Dios I'm really lucky, basta I'm lucky and also my sister E.
