"All changes, even the most longed for,
have their melancholy; for what we leave
behind us is a part of ourselves; we must die
to one life before we can enter another."
My grandma keeps on reminding me that her ancestors are of royal descent...mga pre-hispanic royalties of Pangasinan like Princess Urduja...kaya relate ako dito...

Desperate Housewives' slur on Philippine Medical Schools
Among my friends very few actually watch Desperate Housewives. If there would have been more Eva & Teri fan among my lot then there would have been a greater chance that I heard this from them:
"Okay, before we go any further, can I check those diplomas?’ Coz I would just like to make sure they are not from some med school in the Philippines."
Susan Teri Hatcher Season 4 Desperate Housewives
Never mind the Imelda references or the housemaid banter which may not be totally false, but this one I find appalling. Pardon my twisted sense of justice but I wonder how would the U.S. healthcare system fare without all the Filipino health and medical professionals doing what their own people refuse to do to keep America in the pink.
I’m glad I'm holding my ground until now: that I’m a Sex and the City fan. Did I mention Sarah and the girls won a lot of Emmys?
