October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month

I participated twice in organizing Breast Cancer Awareness month here in Cebu some years back. This involved not only symposiums on prevalence and prevention, but also more enlightened forms of relaying the needs of those who have acquired the sickness as well as the necessity to disseminate the information to as many women as possible. We had contests and fashion shows, encouraging people's support - ranging from skills and expertise to fund raising activities.

I don't get to do much of that anymore, but I still believe in the cause. Here are some clips first few of which define Breast Cancer - its symptoms, screening mechanisms and treatment. What follows then are news of advancing technology, new medication as well as other relevant information for those who like to learn more.

The 59th Annual Emmy Awards

Watching television used to be one of my favorite past-times, before motherhood that is. But more than that, I absolutely miss pageants and award ceremonies like the Emmy awards. Seeing what stars are wearing - what's fashionable and what's not. So what were they wearing at the Emmy awards? Everyone from Eva Longoria of "Desperate Housewives" to Ashley Jensen of "Ugly Betty" is featured here plus more news on the 59th Annual Emmy Awards
