I've been busy and continue to be busy with some projects I have to do. In the meantime, here are some links which are worth visiting. * Check out the <a href="http://sagada-igorot.blogspot.com/">Blog of the Sagada Igorot</a>. His reaction to an Inquirer article about Sagada's "takba" mirrored my reaction when I first read the Inquirer story. Methinks the source of the writer, if he did interview a source, was pulling the poor writer's leg. Anyways, read the Sagada-Igorot's <a href="http://sagada-igorot.blogspot.com/2008/04/sagada-history-kept-in-basket.html">post here</a>. * The Call of Nature blog has a <a href="http://magkachi.wordpress.com/2008/05/02/no-scalpel-vasectomy/">must read post</a> on our population problem, machismo, non-scalpel vasectomy (NSV), and the very small number of men (only 73) who underwent NSV in Baguio. Read the <a href="http://magkachi.wordpress.com/2008/05/02/no-scalpel-vasectomy/">post here</a>. * Here's something we should <a href="http://www.sunstar.com.ph/static/bag/2008/05/03/feat/bio.of.bado.dangwa.in.the.works.html">look forward to</a>: two professors from Benguet State University are coming up with a biography of Bado Dangwa, World War II guerrilla leader and the first governor of the old Mt. Province (the present Cordillera Region except Abra). * Howie Severino, host of GMA-7's Side Trip ni Howie Severino, visits Sagada to look for wild horses. Read his posts <a href="http://gmapinoytv.igma.tv/sidetrip/blog/index.php?/archives/356-Saan-sa-Sagada-online-video.html">here</a>, <a href="http://gmapinoytv.igma.tv/sidetrip/blog/index.php?/archives/355-The-end-of-a-quest.html">here</a>, and <a href="http://gmapinoytv.igma.tv/sidetrip/blog/index.php?/archives/354-Pee-fee-collector-and-other-scenes-from-the-mountains.html">here</a>. By the way, I stole the above photo from <a href="http://gmapinoytv.igma.tv/sidetrip/blog/index.php?/archives/354-Pee-fee-collector-and-other-scenes-from-the-mountains.html">his blog</a>. * Shameless self-promotion plug: our attempt to gain <a href="http://www.theolympianblog.com/">worldwide popularity</a> (hehehe) is starting to gel. It's still a challenge though to develop a tone for the blog. Forgive the grammatical lapses because I was more focused on putting the blog's structure. Excuses, excuses, no? * By the way, if you know anyone who wants to join GMA-7's newest reality show, you should encourage them to audition on 17-18 May at SM-Baguio. You can find the details from this <a href="http://survivorphilippines.org/2008/04/survivor-philippines-audition-venue-and.html">Survivor Philippines</a> blog. And here's some tips on how to prepare for the <a href="http://survivorphilippines.org/2008/04/how-to-audition-for-survivor.html">Survivor Philippines audition</a>.
