Dr. Harvey Uy's Blog

Harvey at the Kuang Chi Awarding Ceremony last March 11, 2011.

As my Harvey Uy post is again the top post in this blog, and since I got a call from his patient's wife and daughter asking me where he is, may I direct everyone to the Uy Eye Clinics blog, which I taught Harvey how to set up last Friday, November 2, at HEAT in Edsa Shangri-La Manila, where he treated me to breakfast buffet. Thanks again, Harvey!

While I had said in my previous post that his Binondo clinic will open in mid-November, the Uy blog says that it will open in late November.

Greenhills & SM Megamall Open Today

All Saints' Day posts totalled 406 views.

Even though I was planning to write this post today, I was still surprised when I checked my stats and saw that last year's All Saints' Day posts dominated the top positions. What most surprised me was the surge in views, and the Dr. Harvey Uy post being the top one.

Pageviews surged 59.22% today, from yesterday, from 667 to 1,062.

Anyway, I went walking in Greenhills this morning from around 9-11 am. Since it was hot, my friend suggested that we park in the building across VMall , where I went through the No Entries since there were no cars, and went to Mercury Drug in the same building for the first time.  On the way to Unimart, we saw a lot of people walking around, including a guy with a shirt that said, "I support the draft" with a beer photo.  Haha. Flapjacks, McDonald's and Krispy Kreme were open. In fact, my friend could smell Krispy Kreme.

We also went into another Mercury Drug near Chinabank where my friend went to the cashier near the door because the pharmacists manning the pharmacy ignored her.  Then we went to Japan Home Center, next to DIY, which was also open, of course. At Japan Home Center, my friend pointed out a bra hanger for me, which I might buy because our maids tend to flatten my bras. I wish I could post a photo here, but I think that I was stopped from taking photos here or Saizen.

On our way to Unimart, we saw that Mister Donut was open but Chowking was closed. At Unimart, everything was open, even Aunty Vicky's stall where we got sagot gulaman and Haw Flakes, Kookie Monster with its Halloween cupcakes, and Dolor's where I wanted to buy rellenong bangus for
P 300+ but forgot to.

When we walked to the car, it was already 11 but VMall was still closed to the public, but the employees could go in already. At the parking building, a maintenance lady told us that the elevator will be operational at 12, when VMall opens.

My friend told me that Megamall is also open.

Dr. Harvey Uy's St. Luke's Clinic

My friends, their family, their family's in-laws and so on are Dr. Harvey's patients.  As Harvey has left Asian Eye Institute, he is now the best eye surgeon at St. Luke's.  Or so he claims. :)

Dr. Harvey Uy (center) at the Kuang Chi Awarding Ceremony last 3-11-11.

My friends' reactions were varied.  One friend hoped that his new clinic would be at St. Luke's Global City, while Madam Upuan said, 'I am fervently praying he means St. Luke's QC and not in Fort?"

I told Madam Oop to fervent away, as Harvey will hold clinic at South Tower 611 starting October 27.  He will also set up another clinic at Pacific Center (formerly Pacific Bank Building), 460 Quintin Paredes St., Binondo in mid-November.

The Kuang Chi Awarding Ceremony was held at Xavier School.

This is his second clinic in Binondo.  Before joining AEI, he held clinic at State Center, when I was holding office there, too.

If not for this coincidence, we would not be friends today.  I took the elevator to his clinic and told his secretary that I just wanted to say hi. He came out and invited me to play badminton and we became good friends after that.

Skechers Sale Until October 15

I got the olive greenish beige mules (top row, third from right).

The Skechers sale at Planet Sports has been extended to October 15.

My first pair of Skechers (third from left, bottom row, in the photo) at SM Department Store at Megamall at full price.

I also got a pair of glorified 1"-high black 'glorified tsinelas' at full price less P 200 vouchers, at their VMall branch.

The Skechers sale is only at Planet Sports.

My friend got a pair of black sandals that she comfortably used for maybe three hours.  They were ouchy when she used them for a longer period of time.

Blog Stats

Congrats to my friend Dr. Gerard "Raddy" Mabasa on his two new blogs, Athletic Motion, and World Passages.

He wants to know how much traffic my generic blog makes, so I'm posting them here.

He also wanted to know where my views were coming from.  Techie She is a regular regular site, but I have not figured out why.  I suspect that most of these referrals came from backlinks?

How to get to Xavier School, dated March 24, 2011,  with 7 views, is the top result in Google search.   So is Podium Opens at Noon on November 1, dated October 31, 5 views, also last year, with the search words 'Podium Opens at Noon on November.'  Another November 1 post, Via Mare Open on November 1, 3 views, has the thirdmost views.  My fourth highest post, Clinic Christmas Break, 2 views, is the third holiday post in the list.  So I guess holiday skeds attract the most views to this blog.

In case of a heart attack, 2 views, is the second health-related post in the list.

Feng Shui Figurines,  7 comments including mine, Canon Pixma MX 416?, and Professional Dog Trainer also had 2 views each.

Both health and holidays are part of the site description.

120 of my pageviews come from the US; 31, Philippines; 5 and 3, Argentina and Singapore, respectively.

Atimiti has had a total of 18,068 pageviews from 79 posts, or 228+ views per post.

This blog had 980 pageviews last month.

Fashion Advice

I have been looking for something yellow to wear to our office meetings for maybe five years.  I had not been happy with the blouses that my mom got me, but was too lazy to shop on my own until this year.  I saw a yellow blouse at Bayo Greenhills, but I did not like it.

Then I chanced on a mustard blazer at Robinsons Department Store Magnolia.  Why not?  Then I can wear any white, black, grey, or brown blouse underneath the blazer.

Short.

Then I chanced on a long cardigan with matching ribbon tie.  I was happy with it until I saw a short version.  Now I'm undecided on which one to get.  What do you think?

Now that I'm looking at the photos, I think that the long one would fit most of my clothes, as the short one's sleeves are too short.

Incidentally, my office has announced that there are plans to change our color!  I told them that they couldn't, as I had already invested in a blazer!

I was told that mustard is the company color, but that our group color was yellow.  Waaah!

Long.

Holiday Banking

Metrobank Xavier was cordoned off today.

I don't know about you, but I've been confused with banking hours this week.

BDO V-Mall used to be open on holidays.  I even took a photo to show xT Pro how many people were in it, as in marami.

Then it was closed one holiday, but I don't remember which.

Then it was open from 10 am to 4 pm last Monday, but I thought that it would be open on its regular hours, so I got there past 4 na.

Then today, I went to Metrobank and found it closed, despite my mom relaying 3i's message that Chinabank Greenhills Manager Sandra called to say that they would be closed.

So I'm summarizing the banking skeds here in case history repeats itself:

27-Aug
National Heroes' Day
BDO V-Mall	10 am-4 pm
30-Aug
Pinaglabanan Day
BDO V-Mall	closed
BDO Greenhills Shopping Center	upto 4 pm
Chinabank Greenhills	closed
Metrobank Xavier	closed
