HappyDoc Diagnostics, the newest addition to the outpatient endeavor, was formally introduced to the public on October 28, 2022, at a grand launching ceremony held at Cebu Doctors University Hospital.
Approximately two months after it softly opened, the latest outpatient venture of CebuDoc ceremoniously introduced HappyDoc Diagnostics and laid open its services, which are more accessible and affordable for the community.
HappyDoc Diagnostics highlights its one-stop convenience in which the patients can be catered to with its four major services in one go. An edge among others and elevation from CebuDoc’s own previous diagnostics operation.
The facility offers four major services — Laboratory, Cardiology, Radiology, and ExecutiveCheck-Up Services — whichare now in full operation.
It has been said that HappyDoc is a testament that CebuDoc has kept its promise to be the lifelong healthcare of the community that does not limit its accessibility but rather widens its scope to every sector. To materialize this vision, the facility accepts patients availing services thru its Health Maintenance Organization (HMO).
The opening of HappyDoc Diagnostics unlocks another ‘first’ of CebuDoc as it is the first outpatient facility of the hospital that carries all diagnostic services a patient desires to avail, in one transaction, and with a designated priority number.
To Doctor Potenciano Larrazabal III, Chairman, and President of CebuDoc Group, the grand launching of HappyDoc emphasizes that CebuDoc has built another medium in bringing healthcare closer to the community with the same elevated healthcare standard.
Now that we officially unveil the curtains of HappyDoc, we are happy to announce that after two months of soft opening to evaluate and harness our service delivery, the facility is now fully operational while our services are also available in a full manner,
“The opening of this facility is a testament that we listen to our patients and clients. The healthcare landscape was forever changed by the pandemic and we had the chance to embrace the changes it brought. This new perspective helped us see healthcare differently and redefine what it means to be happy,”
As CebuDoc places high regard on patient care and values each experience you will have each visit, HappyDoc did not just redesign the healthcare system process and offered advanced diagnostic technology, but also structured a healing environment facility with highly-trained staff.
The grand launching of HappyDoc was graced with CebuDoc’s administrative core, suppliers, staff, and media members.
Halloween week is still here, and another bloody and spooky event is happening in the sky. This Tuesday, November 8, 2022, make sure to look up the Beaver Blood Moon.

So, what makes this moon unique? Aside from it being the final and last lunar eclipse that we will see for the year 2022 lunar eclipse, this moon will have a reddish-brown hue much like copper which is what got its name “blood moon”.
This phenomenon happens as the moon only receives light that already passed through the earth’s atmosphere and has filtered out the blue light. by the light from the sun hitting its disk after being bent around the Earth by our planet’s atmosphere, which also filters out blue light.
Lunar eclipses occur when the sun, the Earth, and the moon are in a straight line with Earth sitting in the middle casting its shadow on the moon. As the moon is in Earth’s shadow, light from the sun is blocked making the moon appear less bright.
The moon will pass through the shadow of Earth at 4:10 a.m. EST (0810 GMT) on November 8, 2022, starting the partial eclipse and will be out of the shadow at approximately 7:49 a.m. EDT (1149 GMT) which is approximately three hours. The total eclipse period however will only be more than an hour long starting 5:17 a.m. EST (0917 GMT) until 6:42 a.m. EST (1042 GMT).

The world has evolved, and so did the preferences of people when it comes to architecture and design. Often, we see buildings incorporate modern concepts into their designs, with some even pushing themselves to the limits with eccentricity.

But who says traditional design can’t be as aesthetic as the new ones? Starbucks proves such with one of its newest branches in Daegu, South Korea, where it has turned a century-old “Hanok” house into its coffee shop.
ORIGINS OF THE DESIGN
The design of the new Starbucks branch in Daegu comes from a traditional “Hanok” house, a Korean housing style that was popular back in the 14th century. These houses were built in the traditional Korean style, where some of them were tile-roofed for noblemen’s residences while thatch-roofed for commoners.
Photo from Starbucks Korea on InstagramPhoto from Starbucks Korea on Instagram
These houses have been also currently popularized in the mainstream media, thanks to Korean dramas such as Jewel in the Palace, Reply 1988, and True Beauty.
The concept of adapting the designs also harmoniously coincides with Daegu’s image as an artistic and cultural hub of the region. UNESCO (United Nations Educational, Scientific, and Cultural Organization) also recognizes the place as the City of Music, a testament to the city’s focus on the artistry.
CULTURE, MUSIC, AND COFFEE – ALL IN ONE
The idea attracted a lot of attention because of its perfect blend of traditional and modern coffee experiences. Featured inside the Daegu branch are the exposed wooden framework, tiled gable roof, and ornamental detailing, which is sure to satisfy the sight of the shop’s patrons.

Starbucks, along with its partner company Bang & Olufsen, aims to mix both past and present cultures with the help of music and architecture.
Bang & Olufsen helps Starbucks achieve its aim with its state-of-the-art sound technology, which it has personally designed just for the coffee shop.
No secrets are safe, especially in the world of the Internet. No matter how much you try to hide your information, people will always be able to access it one way or another, even if you’re browsing in Incognito.

Just recently, news broke that Google is facing a lawsuit, as documents show Google employees jokingly talking about how misleading the feature is. The news brought up concerns among users, where even one of the company’s former employees asked Google CEO Sundar Pichai to “make Incognito Mode truly private” already.
THE REALITY OF INCOGNITO
The word “incognito” originally came from the Latin word incognitus, which means “unknown.” In the present time, it means to have one’s true identity concealed or hidden. But in Google’s case, the Incognito Mode doesn’t live up to the word’s meaning that much.
Most people would believe that just because they’re browsing in Incognito Mode means that their online activity and searches remain untracked. Turns out, it still extracts the user’s data and even shares some of it with Google’s advertising partners.
Your IP address isn’t safe either, which means that you still run the same risk for your identity as if you were normally surfing the web. Only your history and cookies are hidden, nothing more.
WHAT NOW?
This just means that while your history and online activity may be hidden from other potential users of your device, there are still a few people that can see it. To be specific, some employees in Google and their advertising partners may see your online activity, even if you’re in Incognito Mode.

Google is not entirely in the wrong part of the story though, as they have included the mode’s conditions in its terms and conditions, which users agree to it. That also means that your visits to R-18 pages are not entirely a secret anymore, at least to a few people.
If you want a browse the Internet privately, where you entirely hide your activity, you could go with Brave or Tor. These browsers block trackers and even advertisements while you’re browsing while encrypting your activity. These should give you the complacency you need while searching the web, leaving some room for dignity.
