Kanina sa Ticketnet outlet...

Tagalog naman ngayon para maiba naman (salamat kay Bob Ong... binabasa ko kanina yung isa sa mga librong nilathala niya).

Nakabili na ako ng ticket para makapakinig sa talumpati ni Al Gore sa Leadership Conference Series 3 na hatid ng SM Prime Holdings (Yehey!). Sa Ticketnet Outlet sa loob ng SM Makati ako nakabili. Bago ako bumili, kailangan muna syempre malaman kung may nabibili na nga ba... 

Rochie: Nagbebenta na po ba ng ticket para sa "Al Gore Live in Manila"?

Tindera sa Ticketnet: Oo, mayroon nang ticket. Ito ang seat plan. (iniabot sa akin ang isang papel)

Rochie: Magkano po ang pinakamurang ticket? Ito pong bronze?

Tindera sa Ticketnet: P1,056 ang isang ticket sa bronze. P5,280 naman ang silver. Ang mahal naman ng platinum ticket, P15,840! Sino ba si Al Gore? 

Rochie: Dati pong bise-presidente ng Amerika si Al Gore. 

Tindera sa Ticketnet: May concert siya? Anong kinakanta niya?

Rochie: Naku, hindi po! May lecture po siya kaya siya pupunta sa Maynila; hindi po concert.

Oo nga naman, ang pamagat kasi ay "Al Gore Live in Manila". Kung hindi mo kilala si Al Gore, natural na aakalain mong concert ito. Parang "David Cook and David Archuleta Live in Manila" at "Kris Allen Live in Manila and Cebu" lang yan e.

Tindera sa Ticketnet: Pero paubos na ang ticket. May isa pang bakante sa harap. Gusto mong kunin?

Syempre, kinuha ko na. Front-seat ticket na mura lang. Nasa gilid nga lang ng lecture hall, pero pwede na... nasa loob pa rin. Sa wakas, matutupad din ang kagustuhan kong makapanood ng lecture ni Al Gore. Sa susunod, sana mapapunta naman nila sa Maynila si Steve Jobs, and CEO ng Apple.

    Hi Sylvia! Nagtataka nga ako bakit hindi masyadong advertised yung lecture niya sa June. Pero kahit konti lang ang ads, halos fully booked na. Balak ko sana magpa-autograph pagkatapos ng lecture =)

    Nood ka na din! Baka may ticket pa sa TicketNet =) Wala sigurong front act, pero sigurado mahaba-habang forum pagkatapos ng talk niya.

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 '
