AH1N1 MISCONCEPTIONS

AH1N1 causes paranoia and panic to us filipinos because of the little information being broadcasted in the news. of course! it's a normal reaction when you're only presented with schools shutting down and the increasing number of people who are proven to be affected by it.

but what really is AH1N1?

hindi pala tayo kailangang mag-panic pero kailangan nating maging maingat. ANO ANG AH1N1 ayon kay kuya kim of abs-cbn:

1. ang AH1N1 ay isang mahinang klase ng flu virus, ngunit mabilis itong makahawa.

2. mas nakakatakot pa ang trangkaso at dengue kumpara sa AH1N1. wala pa sa 1% ang namamatay dahil sa pandemic na ito.

3. ito ay naisasalin sa pamamagitan ng talsik ng laway ( when coughing, sneezing or plain talking ) at HINDI sa hangin tulad ng kinatatakutan ng marami.

4. maiiwasan ang AH1N1 sa pamamagitan ng basic health habits tulad ng paghuhugas ng kamay at pagkain ng masustansyang pagkain na nakakalakas ng resistensya tulad ng mga prutas at dark green leafy vegetables (kangkong, talbos ng kamote).

o ayan. wag na tayo masyado mag-alala basta magpalakas lang ng resistensya!

singing LUPANG HINIRANG incorrectly

may put you behind bars for 2 years and would fine you 100,000 pesosesosesoses. at first i thought this bill is funny but then it has a point. makes me think, "wow, pati national anthem strict na rin sa genre."

Improvised singing of “Lupang Hinirang” may soon be considered a criminal act.The House committee on basic education and culture, chaired by Rep. Del de Guzman of Marikina, announced the passage on third and final reading of the measure proposing to criminalize the incorrect rendition of the National Anthem. The bill imposes two-year imprisonment and a fine of P100,000.

Rep. Salvador Escudero 3rd of Sorsogon said once the bill is enacted into law, deviating from the musical arrangement of composer Maestro Julian Felipe Felipe when singing “Lupang Hinirang” will be considered a crime punishable under Republic Act 8491 signed on February 12, 1998.

manila times

LUPANG HINIRANG, the philippine's national anthem, should be in the range of 100-120 metronome, a marching-type tempo, and 2/4 beat when played, 4/4 when sung. it's not meant to be sad, or slow like we're mourning. it's supposed to be a declaration song, expression of pride and hope and love for country all at the same time.

ano sa palagay mo?

DENGUE ALERT!

the increasing number of dengue cases this month is very alarming!

mosquitoes are attracted to dark colors: black and blue. i remember this quite well because we had a mosquito killer gadget a long time ago that emits a blue light which is supposed to "enchant" the mosquitoes and electrocute them. so here's an advise from GMANEWs.TV:

MANILA – Makatutulong ang kulay ng damit na isinusuot para hindi lapitan ng lamok na nagtataglay ng virus na nagdudulot ng nakamamatay na sakit na dengue, ayon sa pinuno ng Department of Health.

Inihayag ni Health Secretary Francisco Duque III nitong Martes na mas lapitin ng lamok ang mga kasuotan o damit na madilim ang kulay tulad ng itim at dark blue.

Dahil dito, pinayuhan ng kalihim ang publiko na magsuot ng mga damit ng “light colors" ngayong panahon ng tag-ulan na aktibo ang mga lamok na nagtataglay ng dengue.

“Attracted ang lamok na nagkakalat ng dengue sa maitim ang kulay ... Kailangan siguraduhin nila na ang search and destroy (policy) sa kapaligiran ay ipaiiral," paliwanag ni Duque sa panayam ng dzXL radio.

Pinayuhan ni Duque ang mga mag-aaral na may unipormeng black o dark blue na higit na maging maingat sa kagat ng lamok.

Nanawagan din ng kalihim na patuloy na maglinis ng paligid at alisin ang mga nakabarang tubig na maaring pamahayan at pag-itlugan ng mga lamok.

Dapat din umanong kaagad magpatingin sa duktor ang mga may lagnat na may kasamang pananakit ng katawan.

“Medical emergency ang dengue, nakamamatay ito. Sa isang kagat lang baka ka matepok," paalala niya. - GMANews.TV

sa panahon ngayon, bawal magkasakit! AVOID BLACK and BLUES!

PHILIPPINE FLAG DAYS

there's a chance the we have already forgotten what the colors and graphics of our Philippine Flag symbolize simply because we are too occupied and presented with many things to debug everyday of our lives. it's good to be reminded of the following information once again. read on:

Iloilo City (1 June) -- As May 28 to June 12 are declared as Flag Days throughout the country via Republic Act No. 8491, how well do you know our national flag?

The Philippine national flag was a brainchild of President Emilio Aguinaldo according to historical books.

Its colors symbolize certain values: the red field means that Filipino valor is second to none. The white field means that Filipinos are capable of governing themselves. The sky blue field signifies the loftiness of the Filipino struggle for freedom.

The equilateral triangle represents the Katipunan ideals of Liberty, Equality, and the Brotherhood of Men.

The three stars represent the three major geographical subdivisions of the Philippine archipelago, namely Luzon, Visayas, and Mindanao. The points in each star represent all the islands that make up these major geographic subdivisions.

The eight rays of the sun represent the eight provinces declared by the colonial government to be in a state of war (an estado de Guerra) during the revolution.

The Philippine flag is further distinguished from all other national flags. When the red field is up and the blue field is below, it signifies that the country is at war.

Moreover, the Philippine Flag not only represents national identity but this was colored by the blood of our forefathers and enshrined by their sacrifices.

R.A. No. 8491 is a reminder to every Filipino that the Philippine national flag is the singular symbol of the country defining the unity of the various towns, provinces, regions, and ethno-linguistic and sectoral groups of the nation. It also advocates national unity, love of country, and nationhood.

The law enjoins all agencies and instrumentalities of government, business establishments, institutions of learning, and private homes in the country to display the Philippine national flag during the Flag Days period.

requirements / how to get POSTAL ID card

even voter's registration require IDs now so my sister might get a postal ID one of these days, or maybe just renew her NBI clearance; whatever's faster.

mother ko unang kumuha ng postal ID sa amin. first step is go to your town's municipal hall and inquire. it should be standard but for some reasons, iba-iba ang singil sa bawat city. i don't know why. here are the requirements:

1. application form - dalawam-piso isa.

2. 3 pcs. 2×2 ID picture with white background

3. community tax certificate (cedula) - makukuha din sa munisipyo, ang bayad ay depende sa trabaho. obviously, kapag sinabi mong call center agent ka, malaki ang babayaran mo. kapag sinabi mong still looking for work, mga 22 pesos lang.

4. barangay clearance - makukuha sa barangay hall. mga 19-20 pesos lang ito, minsan libre pa kapag may kakilala ka. haha.

5. marriage contract (if married) and birth certificate

ang binayaran ng mother ko ay 300 pesos, hindi pa kasama yung mga ibang babayaran tulad ng bayad sa cedula, barangay clearance, zerox nung application form, at pagpapakuha ng picture. kapag minalas-malas ka pa, baka pabayaran din ung lamination nung card.

valid for 5 years ang postal ID. hindi computerized. parang karton lang at manually typewritten ang mga information dito. 125 pesos lang ang fee according to the application form, kaya lang daw umaabot sa 300 (or minsan 300 plus pa sa ibang lugar tulad ng cavite, QC, etc) ay dahil sa pagpapa-notaryo. when you look at the card, overpriced mo talaga masasabi.

take note: hindi sila nag-iissue ng resibo para dito hindi katulad ng sa cedula, naka-indicate kung magkano ang binayaran mo.

ang masasabi ko lang, sana ay ma-improve yung card o di kaya naman, babaan nila ng fee. mas masaya kung libre hehehe, tutal nagbabayad naman tayo ng tax. sa panahon ngayon, maraming nanghihinayang kumuha ng postal ID, kasi kung sa jollibee mo nga naman yun dadalin ay busog na busog ka na.

PINOY BINGO NIGHTS: HOW TO BE A HOME PARTNER

my sister and i were able to exchange 31 bingo cards with our goldilocks receipt last mother's day. yipee! ang haba-haba nung nakuha namin.

kaya lang, problem namin, hindi namin alam kung paano maglaro nito kaya balisa kami. buti na lang may internet!

so ganito pala maging home partner ng pinoy bingo nights:

* bawat bingo cards pala valid for one week, kahit anong araw. check mo lang ung week number sa ibaba nung card kung anong week mo sya ilalaro.

* tapos every late afternoon sa pinoy bingo nights, hintayin mo i-flash sa TV ung apat ng set ng numbers (or 20 numbers total) tapos check mo kung naka-buo ka ng X pattern. kapag hindi, ok lang. better luck next time.

* pero kung OO.... SHOCKS! mag-text ka na agad! kailangang ma-register ang serial number nung bingo card mo para meron ka pang makukuhang 50,000 pesosesosesoses bukod pa dun sa 150,000 pesos na paghahatian ng lahat ng mga homeviewers na naka-bingo nung araw na yun.

ano dapat mong i-text? eto:

BINGOAKO

then i-send sa 2366.

gets? gets na yan!

ipapalit na ang mga sachets, containers at resibo sa halip na itapon. hu knows, baka kayo na ang susunod na manalo! sa panahon ngayon, kailangang samantalahin ang maaaring magin source ng money na hindi kinakailangan ng puhunan, diba?

kung ang hanap nyo ay ang english version nito o mas detalyadong impormasyon tungkol sa game, eto po ang mga links:

salamat at gudlak!

text FIRE to 09186888888

gusto mo bang malaman kung saan papunta ang mga mabibilis na truck ng bumbero na dumadaan sa harapan ng bahay nyo?

pwes, kung may LOAD ka, text mo ang word na FIRE sa 0918-6-888888 or 0922-6-888888.

ito ay isang napaka-brilliant na idea ng ASSOCIATION OF THE PHILIPPINES VOLUNTEER FIRE BRIGADE.

malaking tulong ito para malaman natin kung malapit ba o malayo ang pangyayari sa mga bahay ng kamag-anak at kaibigan, o maging sa lugar mismo natin. TOTOO ito, hindi ito SMS SCAM or CHAIN TEXT ha. nasa website rin nila yan. check it out.

ang latest reply nila sa text ko kani-kanina lang:

FIRE ALERT!
-Lakandula Project 4 QC (fire under control)
-WAWA St. / Tangos Navotas

FR: Ass'n of Phil. Volunteer Fire Brigade & Cafe Mezzanine

ayos diba? galing ng pinoy!

read some FIRE SAFETY TIPS here and let's make EVERYDAY a FIRE PREVENTION DAY.
