February 2008: This has been the greatest month ever!!

The greatest month ever, at least in the last two years since I have been blogging full-time.

SharingHope.TV: Like YouTube From ACS

Pretty much like YouTube, ACS has launched its own, cancer specific, video and picture sharing site called SharingHope.TV.

Carbs, Obesity and Esophageal Cancer

Carbohydrates. Carbs. It’s like a word from hell for the uber weight-loss buff. Hello?! Atkins diet!
If you do not know a low-carb diet didn’t start as a fad that it turned out to be. It is a desperate diet method for the clinically obese. Especially the ones that need to lose weight in a short […]

This is gonna be a long week!

Have you ever gotten up on a Monday morning and wished that it’s a Friday night?!
Exactly my sentiments this morning. I just wanted today (and maybe tomorrow?) to be part of the weekend. Not that I have a day job I am dreading to attend to, but because I am having a problem with my […]

I would never forgive myself!

Last night I called my best friend to find what’s up. Though I have been prolonging it, I finally got the nerve.
These days I am 150% happy, would have been a whooping 200% only if my best friend is not in this difficult situation. She is now in the crossroads of deciding what’s best : […]
