Swine Flu is Now an Ordinary Fever

I have no work today and for the following four days, that's because of the AH1N1 scare in our town. Apparently, the flu cases in our town has risen to an alarming number that's why everyone's requested to self-quarantine. Children are the onces susceptible to the disease, and according to the latest news, 13 people have been diagnosed to have Swine Flu in Los Banos alone. Everybody thinks it's dreadful, maybe because of the hype of swine flu. It's too overly-sensationalize. Swine flu can kill . . . yes, that's true, but dengue fever is even more dangerous than swine flu. Well I hope it rains like it's supposed to. Accordingly, rain helps prevent the spread of this dreadful virus. Hopefully, by next week, there wouldn't be anymore suspension of classes, because personally, I believe that it is impractical to miss one week of class because of this so-called pandemic. I read from a newspaper headline that AH1N1 is now an ordinary fever. I think that's true. The only reason why it gets dangerous is because of complications resulting from it. So to prevent this disease, we have to gear ourselves with vitamin C and lots of fluids. We also have to stay physically active and remember to sanitiza our surroundings and especially our hands. Anyway, in reality, being extra careful is not a guarantee. We just have to trust the Lord that he would protect us and make us well.

Jogging Indefinitely While Gasping For Air

Today, I got invited to jog at 5 am in Baker Field, and I accepted. It gave me a reason to wear my shockingly expensive Nike Air shoes and at the same time lose weight. I thought it would be easy considering I had a lot of jogging practice at home. It wasn't. I jogged indefinitely for like minutes or so, and then gasped for air. I didn't know how many calories I burned, but it felt great to sweat off the extra pounds. I know I will regret this later when my legs are already sore and I would be dog tired, but I have to lose weight, for my own wellness. I think jogging would be a once-a-week activity that I shouldn't miss. Besides, it feels nice to sweat.

King of Pop Perhaps Died of Choking on a Likas Papaya Bar

When the news of Michael Jackson's death broke out, I was like, "What?" and the next thing I asked was, "How?" followed by a "Why?" I was so stunned that my speech was suddenly limited to mono-syllabic words. After a few minutes, the news finally sunk in, and there was acceptance. Nobody was able to answer my question on how he died. One, just vaguely said that he stopped breathing. So I figured that Michael Jackson died of choking, consuming a whole bottle of glutathione pills which caused his death, or perhaps Likas Papaya, a brand of whitening soap which effectively whitens the skin. Michael's skin color is really so ghastly-white, you don't believe it's actually vertiligo, is it? Investigation is still going on. Some speculate that it's heart attack or perhaps drug abuse. I, for one thing, take a strong stand on my Likas Papaya theory. Michael might have tried to whiten his skin for his upcoming concert and since it was just weeks away, he might have figured that the fastest way was to eat the bar of soap, and get instant results. Hahahaha. Yeah. Yeah, I know, I'm bad. I'm bad. You know it! But with due respect to MJ's family, and those who are grieving, MJ will always be the King of Pop. He surely will be missed.

Another Hallmark Holiday

Father’s Day is just another Hallmark holiday that was invented so that people from all over the world would have the initiative to buy greeting cards. I used to make a big deal out of these Hallmark events – i.e. Father’s Day, Mother’s Day, Grandparent’s Day and the like, but now that I have become a grump, it matters less to me. Supposedly, I should be buying my father something today, or perhaps greet him with a warm Happy Father’s Day greeting, but I am in no mood to greet maybe because I don’t believe in holidays anymore. What’s important is that I appreciate him while he is still alive. And if I choose not to, or choose to be indifferent . . . that means that my father is either physically dead or he is already dead in my heart and I don’t care about him anymore.

Basic Torment

It's been almost week of the most basic torment. I started Monday hoping for the best But then the shadow of my past comes back to haunt me. I tried to ignore the soulish beckoning, But the devil has a devious masterplan . . . And I couldn't escape. Tuesday was much more difficult Now with the devil beside me. . . Reminding me of what kind of person I am Imprinting me with feelings that I thought Were already lost at sea. Wednesday was such misery. There was he. Taunting. Yet even an armlength seems a mile away. Never touching. Yet the fantasy is there . . . But there is an invisible wall. And ofcourse The magic code of ethics Hanging over my head. Thursday was an icepick That has burst my bubble of arrogance. Three days of undrank coffee - Three days of heart palpitations - It was the most basic of torments . . . Only to find out that I was only assuming nothing. Damn it . . .

Tip of the Iceberg

It's been a two weeks after the first day of classes, and so far, I'm still breathing. My advisory class may be the rowdiest of the four sections, but I love them. I think I will have a swell time this year. Teachers have been complaining about their noise, but I don't really mind. I know that their behavior is just the tip of the iceberg, and I know that in the final analysis, my St. Augustine class would be the best 5th grade class this school year. With a little motivation and with a lot of love, they would be more than manageable - they'd be great. I'm looking forward to a great 2009-2010. I know that I shouldn't expect a lot from these kids, but I know their potential. All I have to do now is to tap in their potentials and make them the best of what they can be.

Impatiently Waiting For New Moon

OH . . . MY . . . _ _ _!!! As you noticed, I couldn't finish my first sentence. I stared, with my mouth agape when I saw the official preview of New Moon - the sequel to Twilight. I am not an Edward fan. . . more of a Jacob fan if you would recall from some of my previous blog entries. I cannot wait for the film because now, with Jacob and his big muscles, I would surely enjoy every moment of it.
