Soap, Basketball and Pekwa

Don't Use Soap... Use Alcohol Gel
U.S. hospitals are shifting to alcohol gel since washing your dirty hands with soap just isn't as effective anymore. I wonder, though, if this ultra-clean environment we create will leave us vulnerable.

Remember those times when we would go to some far-flung barrio, drink the water there, and then promptly get sick? Sheltered tummies, that's what.

Speaking of sheltered, does anyone out there know how to play Pekwa?

Angel found Jimmy Gil amusing when--during a dismal basketball game between the Philippines and China--said that we Filipinos would win in Jolens (marbles), Pekwa, and rumor-mongering.
