Wazzup Pilipinas!

HIV/AIDS awareness advocacy group, LoveYourself, Inc. will open its new clinic and community center along Buendia in Pasay City on 13 February 2016 in an effort to widen its reach in providing free and confidential HIV testing and counseling, and promoting safer sex practices, while also readying to offer treatment services within the year.

The new clinic, dubbed as LoveYourself Uni, boasts a bigger facility to accommodate the growing number of clients availing HIV testing services as well as HIV treatment services to newly diagnosed people living with HIV (PLHIV). It has a more accessible location, which is situated right beside the LRT Buendia station.

“We really wanted our new LoveYourself Uni clinic to be accessible to everyone. It's just walking distance from the LRT which will let many more people to get tested, know their status and, very soon, seek treatment right away,” said Loveyourself Founder and Executive Director Ronivin Pagtakhan. He added it is an upscale version of the previously operating clinic located in Malate in Manila, which has been closed since December 2015.

Meanwhile, the LoveYourself treatment program, the organization’s new offering, revolves around the 4S Model (Sensing, Synchronizing, Shifting, Sustaining) approach, which is designed to combine biomedical intervention as well as a psychosocial assistance.

The Linden Suites Post-Holiday Family Staycation

Wazzup Pilipinas!

"The family that blogs together, staycations together!"

That's our family motto when my wife and kids became compulsory members of the Wazzup Pilipinas blog because I'm the founder. Well, that's more likely what we would want to do every now and then for the rest of our lives. There simply is nothing as relaxing as getting to lie back with your family at a place that's minus the stressful ambiance of work, or school, or even free from the daily chores at home.

It is only at a staycation where we get the chance to drop all the stuff that makes our life so busy, and find time to just hang out by a delightful indoor pool, dine at a fabulous restaurant, or just stay inside a classy and spacious two bedroom suite. Oh! I'm already describing the comforts and  amenities at The Linden Suites!

Yup! That's where we recently had our family staycation for a weekend. We would love to stay longer, but since all of us have obligations back in the real world, the weekend days of Saturday and Sunday were the only days we could afford to let go and "frolic around like we just don't care."

Though we do care of what we are coming back to in the real world - where work for us and school for our kids awaits - It is comforting to be able to find time to steer away from worrying about what lies tomorrow because we need to pause for some time to refresh and rejuvenate for some quality family time.
