Wow it has been six years na pala! Anim na taon na ang nakalipas mula nang kami ay magsimula. Linggo-linggo ay halos walang patlang na pagsusulat para sa paborito ninyong diyaryo. On topics about health and latest issues – with a little touch of politics, sports or entertainment twist. Sana’y hindi po kayo nagsasawa sa pagsubaybay. Samantala nagkakagulo ang mundo ng basketball sa nagaganap na NBA finals. Marami pa rin ang nakaaalala sa number 6 ng Philadelphia Sixers na si Dr. Julius Erving as one of the greatest of all time. Siya ang naging sukatan nila Jordan, Durant at Lebron.
Number 6 in Chinese culture “(六)” is a fortunate number meaning smooth or well-off. In Chinese, “6” means that everything is going smoothly. In choosing their vehicle license plates, influential people often prefer a number including 6. In the bible, man was created on the 6th day. Men are appointed 6 days to labor. Kaya ang ibig sabihin pala ng 6th anniversary para sa staff ng PILIPINO Mirror ay smooth sailing pero more intensive labor! Hahaha!

“morning dok.meron po ako rauma,anu po ba ang gmot para maalis ang gaot at sakit?”
Reply: Perhaps you mean gouty arthritis. Masakit nga po iyan at nagrereseta ang mga doktor ng Uricosurics (pampababa ng uric acid) gaya ng Febuxostat or Allopurinol. Kailangan may guidance po kayo ng isang doktor at hindi pulos pain relievers lamang ang iniinom.
