Prevent Swine Flu

The only portals of entry are the nostrils and mouth/throat. In a global epidemic of this nature, it's almost impossible to avoid coming into contact with H1N1 in spite of all precautions. While you are still healthy and not showing any symptoms of H1N1 infection, in order to prevent proliferation, aggravation of symptoms and development of secondary infections, some very simple steps can be practiced

1. Gargle twice a day with warm salt water or Listerine. *H1N1 takes 2-3 days after initial infection in the throat/nasal cavity to proliferate and show characteristic symptoms. Simple gargling prevents proliferation. In a way, gargling with salt water has the same effect on a healthy individual that Tamiflu has on an infected one. Don't underestimate this simple, inexpensive, and powerful preventative method.

2. Blow the nose hard once a day and swab both nostrils with cotton buds dipped in warm salt water. This is very effective in bringing down viral population.

3. Boost your natural immunity with foods that are rich in Vitamins C and D. If you have to supplement with Vitamin C tablets, make sure that it also has Zinc to boost absorption.

4. Drink as much of warm liquids (tea, coffee, etc) as you can. Drinking warm liquids has the same effect as gargling, but in the reverse direction. They wash off proliferating viruses from the throat into the stomach where they cannot survive, proliferate or do any harm.

I suggest you pass this on to your entire e-list. You never know who might pay attention to it – and STAY ALIVE because of it.

DLSU Green Archers Coke from Jollibee

What a week! I thought I wouldn't survive! Its hard to get used to waking up so early in the morning again after so long.

Anyway, I just wanted to let you know that I bought my bro a DLSU Green Archers coke from Jollibee. Its a promo item for the basketball association for the colleges. I thought it would be cool to get one and since they didn't have my school I got my brother's. Here is what it looks like.If you want one, all you have to do is go to Jollibee and order a hamburger and fries meal...upgrade the drink and fries and you automatically get one of these 'university' cokes for free. Just tell them which one you like. There are many varieties.

Plurk Layout: New Moon

Hey everyone!!!! Not only did I change my blog layout...but I also changed my plurk layout. Here is what it look like. What do you think?

I'm getting back into the Twilight (saga) craze!!!!!

French Fries Galore

It was the first day back to school for our new (last) semester. My classmates and I decided to have lunch at McDonalds. Since it was lunch time and the restaurant was crowded, we decided to find a place to sit first. That way we won't by left standing with our trays of food looking for a place to sit.

Anyway, since there was a lot of people it was a bit hard to talk. Sometimes we miss what people say; other times we misunderstand. And that's exactly what happened when we gave our order to the cashier.

You see, McDonalds has 3 sizes of fries. Regular-Large-Extra Large. Some of us ordered Large fries. Take note 'Large fries'. Large. Guess what we got?

Yup! We got more than we ordered. Apparently the cashier didn't hear our order correctly and gave us a 'Extra Large fries'!!!!!! No, we didn't get to finish it. It was too much. Yes, I love fries but even I have a limit on hoe much I eat.

Blueberry Tea Latte

I love the coffee machine at 711. They have lattes and cappuccinos. But the one I'm really interested in is the Blueberry Tea Latte.

I just love blueberry. It has a certain taste that I fell in love with almost immediately. Since I love blueberry so much I just had to try their Blueberry Tea Latte. But it took a while before I could do that. You see not all 711 stores had the said coffee machine and I didn't always have the money to buy the drink. Well, one day I did. And it was heaven!!!!! You didn't need to put sugar or cream into the latte. It had the perfect taste.

I'm going to go and get another one soon!!!!! Hope you will too!!!!

Storm Ondoy

Hello there everyone!!!! I hope you're all alright with the storm and all. I am grateful that at least it has stopped raining now. We've had enough down pour of water for a while.

I pray that the people who were forced to evacuate their homes will be able rise up from this disaster and go on. I also pray that people who are stuck in their homes (unable to leave due to the flooding) may be rescued and tended to.

They say that this storm -- Storm Ondoy -- is perhaps the worst storm we've ever had. Never have we seen flooding to this magnitude. I send my condolences to all those who have lost loved one to this storm. And pray that all those who are missing will soon be found.

Etchos

During our meeting with our adviser I saw some of my classmates making these really cool art work. They called it Etchos (I believe). Here is how you do it.

1. You choose your colors
2. On your paper, draw a box
3. Divide your box in sections (one for each color)
4. Color in each section with its designated color
5. Color it in thoroughly (you must hold your crayon straight not slanted)
6. When you color, it should be dark so it will work
7. When you finish coloring each section, use a black crayon to overlap the entire thing
8. Color over the entire box the same way you colored the others
9. When you're done coloring, draw your design
10. You're finished!!!!!!

Look below for some of the finished product. The name of each artist will be below their work. Mine will be at the very bottom.

Finished

Phew!!!! Finally, I am finished with my mini-thesis. Or rather we are finished. After all the trouble and obstacles we managed to survive. So to celebrate the achievement I went out for a drink! It was only for a short while, being tired and everything. After all, I hadn't gotten much sleep lately.


Well, here's to a good work well done!!!! Cheers!!!!

Tumbles

Good day to you all!!!!! I just got my self a new tumbler from Starbucks!!!!! Its for cold beverages. I was actually going to buy a coffee tumbler for hot beverages but I saw this one and fell in love with it.

It looks just like the cups that Starbucks use when serving cold beverages. Except this one is made of hard plastic with a lid that you can srew on. The straw itself comes with the tumbler. I still have my (old) coffee tumbler but I took the paper decor out. It kinda melted. Here's what it looks like now.
