gulay Posted October 28, 2008 Share Posted October 28, 2008 Hey y'all. My name is Charli and I've been vegan for about a year out of the twenty years I've been on this earth. I'm taking up a BS in Nursing here in the Philippines and then go back to the US when I'm done with college. I decided to go vegan when my parents brought home a really cute Pug puppy named Philip after many years of on and off vegeterianism. I just held Philip's little body in my hands and felt his heartbeat. Aww. So looked up all the things I could on Veganism and it totally shook up my foundations. I think a plant based diet that doesn't have animal products is healthier and better for the environment. A nurse should know better anyway, right? So I don't have any definate goals beyond looking and feeling awesome when it comes to goals. Wait, I do know I want to increase strength. I don't have any specific goals as of now. I just love being in the gym and some of my friends tease me about it. But screw them, it's fun and it's a great way to destress after class. Um, that's it for now. Thanks for having me. -Charli Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chrysalis Posted October 29, 2008 Share Posted October 29, 2008 Hi I'm close by in Guam. I'll be going to Manila soon for dental work but I neeed to find a good dentist first. What's it like to be vegan in Manila? Are there any vegan or vegetarian restuarants? I have a lot of filipino friends here, but they are all into eating meat. Welcome to the group!

tuc Posted November 3, 2008 Share Posted November 3, 2008 Welcome, Charli! Yep, a nurse should know! You can have a huge influence in people you take care of. Make sure to be and look as healthy as possible and remember to tell your patients you're a vegan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
