THE times I have walked down the wedding aisle cannot be counted on one hand. My cousins of different degrees always needed a small boy to carry their rings or bibles for them. Since I was forced into retirement from my bearer duties when younger pillow-carrying kids were born into the family (and because not many people marry today anyways) I haven’t had the chance to attend many nuptials.

Two-dimensional graphs and figures filled the Powerpoint presentation of medical oncologist Dr. Dennis Sacdalan on cancer. In between the slides of shapes and numbers and little text, a picture stood out. It was one of a fictional, motley crew of galactic heroes.
IT wasn’t until after hitting the Big Five-O when Zsa Zsa Padilla got her driver’s license. After holding off because she was “scared”—that “there were so many things to worry about”—the celebrity singer gave driving a go a few years back alongside her daughter, Coco Quizon.
EACH day, there are about 500,000 commuters who ride the Metro Rail Transit (MRT) Line 3, and 326,000 riders who ply Epifanio de los Santos Avenue (Edsa). Ask any of them to describe the Metro’s busiest highway in one word, and you’d be hard-pressed to get “fast” for an answer.
