My Personal Wishlist

-

In celebration of my second year anniversary as a medical doctor, I am publishing my wishlist for the year. Note that this is just a wishlist and although I do hope all wishes can come true, this list is really more of a hopeful wishing list.
1. I have always wanted a Sony Digital Camera, particulary the Cybershot DSC H20 model. It has intelligent Auto mode, with a 3.0" LCD screen and a 10x optical zoom. It has double anti-blur technology and HD movie recording capability. I am not sure whether this is the latest model but should I start my photography hobby, this one is a nice start.

2. I would love to own a Macbook. The first time I saw one I was really attracted like ants are to a pool of a diabetic's urine. All Macbooks come with integrated iSight, mini-DVI, AirPort Extreme, MagSafe power connector, upgradeable 512 MB (2x256) RAM, Bluetooth, built-in 10/100/1000 BASE-T Gigabit Ethernet, Sudden Motion Sensor and Scrolling TrackPad, as well as an Apple Remote.

3. An iPhone wouldn't look so bad either. I have been using the same cellphone for the past 3 years already. If I should change my old cellphone, I would rather buy an iphone. It is a phone, an ipod and internet device all in one. Talk about doing almost everything in the palm of your hands.

4. Airplane tickets for two to Hongkong plus cash allowance for shopping galore! Wait, should that be two separate wishlist items? Anyway, Hongkong and shopping do come together and I would have loved to travel out of the country. I do wish I can go back to Australia though. It has been more than 10 years since I had my first trip out of the country.

5. Another week in Boracay. I can't help it. It is always a fun experience while I am in Boracay. The last time was even more fun because it was the first time the entire family went to Boracay. I would definitely need some pampering in Boracay. But maybe it is high time to visit other parts of the country as well. I did hear Puerto Gallera is also a nice alternative.

Visita Iglesia: Tracing The Pilgrim's StepsIn Europe Part Two

Town-hopping from one historic place to another in Europe has given me the opportunity to appreciate not only the local colors but at the same time the wonderful architecture of the place, especially its churches and cathedrals. More than just the structural beauty, the story behind every building is equally astounding. 1. Messina, Sicily, Italy - I happened to walk around town all by myself and I found my way to the Doumo of Messina. This historic Cathedral boasts its very tall bell tower which every noon time sounds the alarm with a spectacular show of moving statues adorning the bell tower and the church. Inside the church are huge statues of Christ's apostles. The park right outside the Cathedral is beautiful as well, with locals gathering to talk with friends or find some private moment with a book and a cappuccino in a nearby restaurant. 2. St. Peter's Basilica - I found myself truly blessed when I had the opportunity to visit Rome and stand at St. Peter'...

When Dining Inside A Museum: Romulo Cafe

Last night, the Zuellig Family Foundation held its annual Christmas Party at the Romulo Cafe in Makati. It was my first time to step inside Romulo Cafe but it was not as intimidating as some high class restos are. It is definitely a highly recommended place to dine or hang out with family and friends, whether you are talking about the most trivial things in life or closing a business deal. Romulo Cafe is named after the famous Filipino diplomat, Carlos P. Romulo. History class would teach us that Romulo was the first President of the United Nations General Assembly. It is owned by the granddaughter of the diplomat and the idea was not only to share good food but also good lessons in history. Upon entering the restaurant, one would not miss the many framed pictures highlighting the many moments in the life of Carlos Romulo. The second floor appears to be almost like a museum. The maze like pattern of the wall paper creates a contemporary atmosphere but the comfortable sofas and pil...

The Weekend in Tallinn

I have just come back from Helsinki where we spent 2 days for the practical part of our Global health course. I am now blogging from Tampere, tired and with a sore back. During the weekend, we have been carrying our backpacks and running around Tallinn, the beautiful capital of Estonia. It was my second European country to visit and I loved the place. It was beautiful and the old medieval buildings almost brought me to another dimension. For one, the trip going to Tallinn from Helsinki was already exciting. It was my first boat ride across the Baltic Sea, aboard Viking Express. The ship was huge and inside the ship was a grocery, dozens of food shops and bars, a dance floor, even a couple of playrooms for the kids. It was almost surreal. When we docked at Tallinn, it was a long walk to our Hotel where we immediately left our bags and headed outside to the Old Town where a lot of tourists were also finding their way in the labyrinthine cobblestone streets of the historic city. Of course...
