Having a fractured root, dentists have recommended that my partner get the molar extracted. The tooth, which has undergone filling, canal treatment and what-have-you in Amsterdam, has been threatening to drop its crown for the past several months.

Good-bye Yoyoy, Kuya Cesar
Just a few weeks ago I was thinking of buying one of his records and now Yoyoy Villame is gone. Yoyoy passed away noon today of cardiac arrest, he was only 69 years old. Broadcaster “Kuya Cesar” is gone too, 69, apparently of cardiac arrest too - just the other day, barely […]
