  2. bismarkymark: World-renowned Filipina physician and national scientist Fe del Mundo died today at the age of 99. Regarded as a pillar in Philippine pediatrics, del Mundo is credited with studies that lead to the invention of an improved incubator and a jaundice relieving device. In 1980, President Ferdinand Marcos named del Mundo as a National Scientist of the Philippines, the first Filipino woman to be so-named.Among the international honors bestowed on del Mundo was the Elizabeth Blackwell Award for Outstanding Service to Mankind, handed in 1966 by Hobart and William Smith Colleges, and the citation as Outstanding Pediatrician and Humanitarian by the International Pediatric Association in 1977. Also in 1977, del Mundo was awarded the Ramon Magsaysay Award for Public Service.On April 22, 2010, President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo awarded del Mundo the Order of Lakandula with the rank of Bayani at the Malacañang Palace. Del Mundo enrolled at the University of the Philippines, Manila in 1926 and earned her medical degree in 1933, graduating as class valedictorian. She passed the medical board exam that same year, placing third among the examinees. Some sources cite del Mundo as the first woman ever enrolled in Harvard Medical School, or the first woman to be enrolled at Pediatrics at the school, or even the first Asian admitted to the Harvard Medical School. —- I had the privilege of seeing this rockstar during UPCM’s Centennial Celebration. She lived such a great life. Rest in peace now, ma’am.

  4. Anonymous asked: Hi! I will be taking the ACET and I hope you don't mind me asking, but what should I expect of the exam? Thanks! :D

    The exam is very challenging, not because it’s hard but because of the time pressure. You have to answer 30 items in just 5 minutes, as far as I remember there are 5 tests with this system and they all deal with logic, the complicated kind of logic. The math part is bloody yet the English test isn’t so, but don’t think it’s that easy, I have a good background in English so that really helped. For the essay I think the time alloted depends on who you proctor is, some will give you 5 minutes while some will give you the time left to write the essay. But who knows, maybe you don’t need to write one anymore, like in the DLSUCET last year, they deleted the essay part which was a blessing to some students. In case there’s an essay don’t forget to write a title (‘cause that’s what I forgot to do last year) it doesn’t have to be long, just be straight to the point. Be confident while taking the test and don’t panic.

    You have to be very fast in answering the ACET so I suggest you practice shading, I mean it, they have circles as big as Jupiter XD no really the circle for shading is bigger than any other entrance exam, that’s why many examinees can’t finish it on time. If you enrolled for a review center this summer (esp. Academic Gateway) then your chances of passing is higher since they train its students to really beat the time. But that’s not the only factor for you to pass, very reliable stock knowledge also helps. 

    I hope that helped whoever you are. Sana makuha mo rin first choice mo tulad ko ( kahit di ako nag-enroll dun:P )  If you’ve read this please send a smiley in my ask box so I’ll know :D

  15. In the late 1880s, the body of a 16-year-old girl was pulled from the Seine. She was apparently a suicide, as her body showed no marks of violence, but her beauty and her enigmatic smile led a Paris pathologist to order a plaster death mask of her face. In the romantic atmosphere of fin de siècle Europe the girl’s face became an ideal of feminine beauty. The protagonist of Rainer Maria Rilke’s 1910 novel The Notebooks of Malte Laurids Brigge writes, “The mouleur, whose shop I pass every day, has hung two plaster masks beside his door. [One is] the face of the young drowned woman, which they took a cast of in the morgue, because it was beautiful, because it smiled, because it smiled so deceptively, as if it knew.” Ironically, in 1958 the anonymous girl’s features were used to model the first-aid mannequin Rescue Annie, on which thousands of students have practiced CPR. Though the girl’s identity remains a mystery, her face, it’s said, has become “the most kissed face of all time.”
