So That's It

Patricia Borromeo, former model, teacher and girlfriend of Richard Gomez died last night. Seems she'd been suffering from Hodgkin's Disease for quite some time now. Speculations-wise I'm starting to understand why she and Richard broke up. The former may not have wanted to "burden" the relationship with such a fatal outcome while the latter didn't want to be a widower at his young age though he definitely wanted to settle down.

Speaking of cancer, my old classmate July Coo recently disclosed that she'd been diagnosed with a rare form of ovarian cancer. Her doctor suspects it was caused by all the soy/ soy-filled foods in her diet and told her to stop eating them. That's the first time I've heard of such a thing. I've been consuming taho every morning for quite some time now and I've yet to feel ill. Quick research on the 'net revealed that the soy-cancer link is only with the women. Whew, now I'll only have to worry about overexposure to sunlight, second hand smoke, lead paint, radioactive waste and tobacco.
