... and that's not all!

After taking all the moon shots I wanted, I drove off the parking lot at work on my way home. The full moon wasn't the only attraction that night, it seems. As I traversed Pili Drive, and approached the guard house, some brightly lit object streaked the sky towards Mount Makiling! At first it was a hot white blob set against the ink black sky (the wispy clouds and the moon were behind me), and then it split apart. The bigger blob was still white while the smaller one was bright green. And then, both objects faded into the night. 

Left-over fireworks? Probably. But I did not hear the usual boom of a fireworks display. The likely place where fireworks would originate was the Freedom Park area, where the FebFair was located, and which I was going to pass on my way home. However, the blobs of light came from behind me, and it was unlikely for fireworks displays to be staged in the residential areas in a night without a fiesta. 

How about a shooting star? Maybe. The blobs I saw were moving too slowly as compared to the first ever shooting star I've seen (aptly, very close to the Kennedy Space Centre), which was why I actually thought of making a wish ("hmm... what do I wish for today?") instead of thinking of one straight up ("I wish..."). 

Maybe, it's some satellite or some other space object that rammed into the atmosphere! That would've been cool! Just like the manned spaceships prior to the Space Shuttle era (Gemini and Apollo programs).

Whatever caused it, the light show certainly grabbed my attention that night. Very interesting, the evening of February 10, 2009 turned out to be. Too bad I didn't take a picture! Can't take a picture and drive at the same time.

10 things I learned while driving on Marcos Highway to Baguio City

I went on a day trip to the City of Pines, which was around a 700-km drive from my house. I drove  going up there and then from the city to Victoria, Tarlac. After that, my dad took over the driving duties. It was day trip with Tita Ising and Tito Sibing with us. Anyway, this trip was my first time to go to Baguio City with me behind the wheel. As everyone who drives up knows, there are three main routes to Baguio from the lowlands: Kennon Road, which ascends from Rosario, La Union. It was out of my options because it's too dangerous to use that road in the rainy season. The second route is via Naguilian Road, which makes my trip a lot longer because the beginning of the ascent is in Bauang, La Union (further north). The last route, and the one I took, was the Marcos Highway, now known as the Aspiras-Palispis Highway. This 47-km road starts from Agoo, La Union and is touted as the safest route among the three.  As I drove up and then down (on the same day; we were in Bagu

How MALDI-TOF-MS makes mycobacterium diagnosis faster and more accurate

The laboratory I work in has plenty of instruments that help us characterise and identify microorganisms causing diseases in patients. One of my current projects is to validate an instrument called "matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization-time of flight mass spectrometer" (MALDI-TOF-MS) in identifying members of the Mycobacterium  species. Many of these organisms are opportunistic, meaning they only cause illnesses in people whose immune systems are not strong enough to fight infections. Mycobacterium leprae  is known for causing leprosy, but we cannot grow this bacterium in culture media, so we cannot isolate it. Mycobacterium tuberculosis  complex, on the other hand, is a group of several species of Mycobacterium  that causes tuberculosis. Tuberculosis is a disease that killed 1.6 million people in 2021 alone. It is a leading cause of death globally, second only to COVID-19 since the pandemic began. Identifying the Mycobacterium species that has infected a patient is

a crash course on traditional Filipino houses

On Dr Jose Rizal's birthday this year, I was back in historic Manila with Ate Bing, Ate Mary , and Manuel . But instead of visiting him, we opted to soak up on Philippine culture. Our first stop: the Cultural Center of the Philippines ' (CCP) Museo ng Kalinangang Pilipino .  Aside from the musical instruments, I noticed the dioramas about Filipino homes. Filipinos living by the sea (the 'sea gypsies', Sama Dilaut or Badjao ) have boathouses; those who live in the mountains, like the Bagobos , have developed interconnected houses in the trees; Filipinos who live along the path of the strongest typhoon winds, such as the Ivatans , have developed houses of thick limestone walls; and people who live in calmer conditions used bamboo and nipa to construct their houses, like the lowlanders and the Agtas . Sama Dilaut 'lepa' and houses on stilts (in the background) Ivatan limestone house nipa hut Ifugao 'fale' Maranao '
