Hello sir. Congratulations on winning last year's Best Personal Blog award. I'm joining under the same category this year and I stumbled upon your blog while browsing through the list of last year's winners.
You're a med student from UPM right? Wala lang. I think I saw you once on Manila Collegian.
Happy blogging!
