PATAK ~ A Benefit Concert

Patrick Donald Teng had an amazing vision in life. He dreamt of becoming a neuro surgeon and took up medicine at the Ateneo School of Medicine and Public Health. Not known to his own family, he supported charities while attending college and at the same time, offered much of his time doing volunteer work for different organizations and one of them was Hearts at Play.

Patrick was also an active member of The Company of Ateneo Dancers and was President of the Ateneo Medicine Dance Group. He brought joy to a lot of children through dance and even encouraged many of his group members to offer their time to make these children happy.

Unfortunately, all his amazing efforts had to take a side step when diagnosed with Glioblastoma Multiforme, a rare type of brain cancer, which ended his dream of being a doctor. Despite his condition, his contagious positive outlook in life remained and Patrick continued his volunteer work even while in a wheelchair. He bravely fought for his recovery, but sadly, time dictated that he had to leave everything behind to join our Creator – gone too soon at the age of 25.


But as they say, everything has a season and a reason. Patrick’s parents were devastated and thought it best to continue what their loving son has started. In May 2017, the Patrick Donald Teng Foundation was founded in memory of their beloved son.

PATAK represents how a single drop in the water can create ripples in the ocean. It is a force, much like Patrick was. The concert will introduce the foundation by showing Patrick’s life and struggle with brain cancer, the lives he has touched, sharings by his doctors, and dance performances by various groups – all with the end goal of continuing what Patrick has started.



PATAK, a Benefit Show for Patrick Donald Teng Foundation is happening this  October 21, at the Henry Lee Irwin Theater, Ateneo de Manila University at 6:00PM.

STYLED Pop-up Store: A curated one-stop fashion shop

When I hear the word "curated", I always think about luxury, elegance, and history.  ● Curated ~ a well-selected, organized, and look after collection or exhibit. ● Fashion ~ a popular trend, especially in styles of clothes and ornaments, or manners of behavior. Combine the word "curated" to "fashion" and you will get, Curated Fashion. Which sums up what my article is all about. As shopping malls evolve, design-led 'curated retail outlets' are on the rise. These edited showrooms are some of the ways shop-owners describe the growing phenomenon of multi-brand stores that push independent labels from around the world, or in this case, local brands, home-grown designers and products. These selected shops are well-chosen to fit each others aesthetics and philosophy. They said that two-heads are better that one. However, in STYLED Pop-up Store's story, three-heads are better than two! Three friends, Tin-Tin Bersola-Babao ( popular TV ...

Today I Chose To Pray For Us

I am Angry. I have been very angry. But today, I chose to Pray for both of us. I prayed to God for forgiveness that I have let this anger seep deep within me. No, I wasn't angry for no reason.  We both know you have done so much wrong not only to me, but my family.  Today, I am letting that anger go, not only for myself, but yours as well. Holding on to resentment doesn't make me a better person.  It only decrease the happiness and blessings I receive. Yes, I have been Blessed. In so many ways, when I look at it, I am blessed. Despite being a sinner for so long, God has saved me and loved me. Accepted my flaws and forgiven me. Today, I pray for you. To let go of your jealousy and envy that makes you angry.  I pray that you realize your actions, your words, and the gossip you are spreading within this good family. I pray that you ask God for Forgiveness. No, I am not asking you to personally apologize to me, but apologize to God. I pra...
