The great Baguio vacation

I have been to Baguio City several times now.  But my trips were mostly business related. So I don’t get to go to famous spots in the City. And you need at least 3 days to really go around the city.

“Ang mga bading?” tanong ko.

Pero di ako naniwala na pagod nga si Red. Basa sya ng pawis– ibig sabihin nagpakasawa ito sa pagsayaw.

Kon ikaw kalibangon

Niadtong bata pako, before grade one, actually hangtud karon sagul akong language English, Ilocano ug bisaya. I still know how to speak ilocano. Its amazing kay grabe atong language ability as pinoys. Here’s a song nga akong mahinumduman ug dili malimtan..The only word nga I am not sure of is “merkrukrum”. It’s a medicine I believe, but this is how I remember it ug how I sang sa bata pa ko.

Kon ikaw kalibangon
Dagan lang sa baybayon
Kon ikaw walay ilo
Inudnud sa dakong bato

Ang bato nga gisisi
Ang lubot nagangisi
Tambalan ug merkrukrum
Ang lubot nagalagum

Duna pay isa nga gitudlo sa akong yaya. This is how I sang ang remember it. Kung dunay mali mali that is how I really sang it. bisaya joke, bisaya jokes, bisaya

Ako kini si Anggi
Ang bisyo koy panahi
Adlaw ug gabii
Kanunay akong gapanahi

Bisan nakog unsaun
Walay kwartang matigum
Kay ang pagpanahi
Igu lang panginabuhi

I sing these songs when I feel down and when I feel worried because these songs remind me nga wala pay nahitabo nako nga grabe that has hindered me from living life..experiencing every bit of it, ang kalipay ug ang kapait, ang pagkaadunahan ug pagkawadan etc…hehehehhhehehe

Moving out to wordpress or not

I have been contemplating on moving out to a new blog platform this last few weeks. I already asked Jehz and a couple of bloggers if I should or should not move to a new platform. My desires of leaving blogger for a newer platform increases everyday. I find a lot of needs which my existing platform can not provide.

I’m eyeing on migrating my BatangYagit.com to wordpress. Most of my non-blogger blogs are using Wordpress. I find wordpress more robust as compared to Blogger. Back-end design is also easier using wordpress, so as front-end design and blog aesthetics.

The cons of moving to wordpress are the following:

  • It needs more maintenance. I have to make sure that my blog uses the most up-to-date version of wordpress. And sometimes, upgrading is a pain in the neck specially on a major version change.
  • High risk of losing traffic. Since I’ll be moving out to a new platform, there is a risk of losing traffic since the URL of my posts will be changed. A large number of my previous posts are optimized for search engine traffic.
  • Paid bandwidth. Since it is self hosted, I’d be spending money for my bandwidth. My blog will have limited amount of resources. There is no assurance that my blog will be up forever.
  • Need for a hosting provider. I have an existing web host but I don’t think it can manage to have another load of traffic. My idea is to get a new hosting account from Gossimer.com. I’ve been looking into their services and find them ok. They have a few selection of hosting plans I can choose from. I’m deciding if I’d go for their Starter Plan or go big time with their Business Plan.

Up ’til now, I haven’t decided yet. I’m still on the process of thinking whether my advantages outweighs the cons that I have mentioned.

Filipino MDs in the blogosphere: “Duktor Ko”!

These Filipino docs may have a very busy clinic or duty days, but blogging is part of their routines. Blogging may be after all, one of their stress reduction prescription- Pinoy style!

Em Dy of Pulse have compiled blogs of Filipino MDs in the blogosphere including some (Martin B. of On My Way Home, Doc Emer of Parallel Universes, Prudence MD by Tess R. and yes Em Dy’s Pulse ) of the well known personalities in the medical blogosphere, and some ‘Juan-came-lately” newbie blogger doc (like me).

So perhaps, Pinoy MDs are taking more active “utilization” of this form of social media after all!Blogs may not be medically related, but they are as interesting as the docs themselves!

Here is the list and the complete descriptions of the blogs by Em Dy of Pulse. I can’t think of better descriptions of the blogs than what Em Dy has wrote. So I’m lifting it here verbatim!

  • On My Way Home. This is the blog of Dr. Martin Bautista who is perhaps the most popular among the Filipino doctor bloggers. His fame is not so much due to his blogging but because of his attempt to run for a Senate seat. Although unsuccessful in his bid, the votes that he garnered is testament that the Filipinos are ready for change.
  • Prudence and Madness. Tess Termulo is a well-known figure in the Philippine blogosphere. She talks about medicine, personal and socially relevant issues and even shares her dreams.
  • Parallel Universes. Also well-known among Pinoy bloggers, Doc Emer writes mostly about medicine but occasionally ventures into posts very distinct from medicine.
  • Finestkind Clinic and Fish Market. Retired physician Dr. Nancy Reyes dispenses her thoughts on medicine, culture and the joys of cooking pancit.
  • No Special Effects. The doctor who runs this blog, Manggy, is addicted to dessert.
  • Feeding the Boys. A dermatologist now living in Canada, CTL shares her adventures in the kitchen.
  • My Little Space. This is Dr. Gita Asuncion’s home on the web. Here, she shares her life, what she’s seen, felt and heard, where she’s been and more.
  • Super Dok. Amelyn R. Rafael, MD wears many hats, those of a mom, practicing physician, teacher, wife, etc. With all that multi-tasking, she’s definitely super.
  • Shouting My Whispers to the Universe. This is the personal blog of a female Filipino doctor who calls herself Midnight Rainbow.
  • MegaLife. Written by MegaMom, this blog is a collection of posts about food, wine, coffee, books, music, art, movies, health, family, altruism, everything but bowling. Now blogging at Pinay MegaMom.
  • Notes of an Anesthesioboist. I found Dr. T. Legarda from a comment in MarketManila. She was born in Manila and now engages in anesthesiology (private practice) in Boston since the move to the US in 1981.
  • My Life and My Scrapbooking. Dr. Rita Marie S. Vergara is a pediatric pulmonologist and is a certified scrapaholic.
  • The Doctor is a Photographer. Dr. Antonio C. Comia shows us that his photographic eye is as good as his clinical eye.
  • Ripples from the River of my Thoughts. A physician from Cebu, JA also likes to dabble in creative writing.
  • Payb-Pifty Lang Po. This is Doc Broks’ funny blog.
  • Samu’t Sari. A personal blog with interesting takes on theater, dance and travel, Samu’t Sari is all that and much more.
  • Differentials. Another personal blog, this time by a female physician on her way to becoming an internist.
  • Sympathomimesis. Dr. Rosseau, another would be internist, channels his thoughts in this site.
  • Aloyloy. Probably, the strangest name among the blogs listed, this one focuses on politics and pop.
  • Lifeline. Reeza is a doctor from Lipa who has only recently started blogging.
  • So Far, So Good. Dr. Christian Gomez describes himself as multi-faceted. His blog is similarly so.
  • Life Journal of an Integrative Medical Doctor. A geriatrician who calls himself XyberDoc talks about his life and medical practice.
  • Pepper Says. A newly licensed doctor in transition from school to work blogs about her universe.
  • It’s Me! Raphael. This doctor from Cebu talks about family, medicine, technology and religion.
  • Mah Lyf. Norwin Detalla is another doctor blogger from Cebu.
  • The Last Frontier. This is the blog of Raul Espinoza Ramos, a doctor who’s also a nurse.
  • Chronicles from the Middle of Nowhere. Dr. Clairebear describes herself as a young doctor in quarter-life crisis, wandering through life for the first time without a map.
  • My Sanctuary. Doc Mai is a Filipino doctor based in Mindanao who once dreamed of a Palance award. She rekindles her love for writing in this blog.
  • Merry Cherry. Merry Cherry is a doctor to the barrios who blog about her adventures both in the city and in the country.
  • Checking In. This is the blog of Dr. Geena Macalua, an internist-oncologist. Here she talks about medicine and life in general.
  • Sison of Love. It’s obvious that Doc Cristina loves two things: music and love.
  • www.thekid.tk. TK is an internist/medical officer whose mission in life is to make good memories with his children.
  • Doralicious. Another doctor who wears many hats, Dorothy is a psychologist turned physician turned public servant.
  • At Random Ness. Based in Dumaguete, Ness blogs about medicine, family and friends.
  • The Orthopedic Logbook. Bone MD writes about issues affecting his daily medical and orthopedic practice.
  • Okasaneko Chronicles. This is the blog of KittyMama, a doctor whose passions in life include autism and Hello Kitty.

Thanks again Em Dy. And to those interested we can form a blog carnival of Filipino MDs. Please don’t hesitate to contact me (email) or leave a comment here!

SurgExperience: “Surgeries” in the blogosphere

Perhaps the best thing that ever happened to surgery in the blogosphere, SurgExperience is cut throat “operation”. Imagine the razor sharp wits and stories of the surgeons, anesthesiologists and the whole surgical team, brought into life via the blogosphere and compiled into one for everyones’ reading feast. And you don’t need to scrub yourself nor don an OR suit. Just your wit dude, just your zanny wit…

A compilation of the best surgical (and anyone else proud enough to keep one) blogs in the net today, SurgExperience was originally conceived by Jeffrey Leow of Monash Medical Student Blog and is on its 14th edition now. This will be hosted on “Notes of an Anesthesiologist” come Feb 3. Previous compilations as well as the upcoming schedule can be seen here.

So maybe, there is “cutting and nailing and implants” in the blogs after all. Not the literal type, but just as visual, and glorious (or worse) moments in our surgical life! Read on their posts, the operating theater is as open as you can squeeze in!

(Note: The Orthopedic Logbook, together with other Bone heads in the blogosphere, has recently been added to the roll. Hope I can contribute soonest or host the SurgExperience!)

Bone MD is a board certified orthopedic surgeon and a Fellow of Philippine Orthopedic Association practicing in the hinterlands of Southern Mindanao, Philippines. He took up medicine at the UP College of Medicine and finish his Orthopedic Training at UP-PGH Department of Orthopedics. He is a visiting consultant in the Department of Orthopedics, Davao Medical Center and several other hospitals in South Mindanao area.

My “Big Day Out” Experience
