For the longest time, I’ve been using the website http://acupuncture.net.ph, but when I saw that the this domain name acupuncture.ph was available, I couldn’t help but scoop it up. The question then arose: Do I simply redirect the new domain to my old site or create a whole new one?

Upon much reflection I decided to start over. Truth is I wasn’t happy with my old blog entries. They seem so dated and the information so ancient now. Because of this, I have decided to start over, with a fresh new look and a fresh new series of blog articles to write. In a sense, this reflects a lot of changes in my life. I’ve taken on new responsibilities helping build departments of traditional chinese medicine in Cardinal Santos Medical Center and Chinese General Hospital, and that’s been taking a lot of my time.

I will probably rewrite some old favorite posts, and will indicate in the blog post if that is the case.

Then I’ll probably let the old site die away.

Here’s to more years of acupuncture and traditional chinese medicine knowledge with all of you!
