SWEET SPY

I was reading the very thick World Drug Report 2009 of the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime (UNDOC) and it made me feel so exhausted so I decided I'll just assign it as a Seminal Paper to my students on Pharmaceutical Jurisprudence and Ethics for the 2nd Prelims (Hekhekhek). What I really was thinking is that maybe the UN should hire an International Spy to take care of these matters with emphasis on the recent capitals for illegal drugs, Mexico and Afghanistan which reminds me of my favorite TV show of all time... Sweet Spy. Then, I forgot everything about the UNDOC and listened to "Show me your love" all night, the theme from the now defunct korean TV series.
.
Really, I do love this series up to this day because the message is universal and timeless. Its about second chances that life surprises us (except me), courage that originates from love - its mystery and transforming power and best of all, its James Bond-ish.

A CAT AMONG BULLDOGS

This semester, I am very pleased to join the College of Pharmacy at the National University as a Pharmacy Instructor. This university has been undergoing huge change after majority of its stocks were bought by businessman Henry Sy just last year. It provides a very good opportunity for growth under the new administration and I am honored to be part of it.
.
I am currently teaching 3 subjects: Pharmacy Jurisprudence and Ethics, Pharmacy Administration and Management and Botany Lecture/Laboratory. Its my first time to teach in a traditional setting and I think I'm loving it forever, best of all it has been my hunger to impart knowledge to the youth and this is a very good break for me. I know I can teach in other universities but I feel that this is where the Lord feels I am needed and I'm glad to accept it.
