Just this recent month when news falls on health disease alert that a swine flu virus has been considered as tough problems in Mexico City when it turns out as 153 people so far have been died because of that severe swine virus. According to Wikipedia, Swine flu is refers to influenza caused by any strain of the influenza virus endemic in pigs (swine), it is common in swine and rare in humans. People who work with swine, especially people with intense exposures, are at risk of catching swine influenza if the swine carry a strain able to infect humans. However, these strains rarely are able to easily pass from human to human.

At this point in time, this outbreak disease has been hits different countries and many have been infected. Here in the Philippines, there are 33 numbers of confirmed cases of A(H1N1) flu. The DepEd has been moved the schedule of classes in different schools such as De la Salle University for being infected by 1 student confirmed of having infected by the virus. Another student from FEU also confirmed to be infected. Those people who come near with infected person must at least quarantine themselves for other safety measures, the DoH advised.

With the WHO raised “Alert Level 5”, teachers and students should take extra precautionary measures for the safety of the students as well as themselves. Here are some tips:

• Washing hands frequently.
• When sneezing, it is a good idea to do it on your elbow or use a tissue paper, not in your hands.
• Wash your hands after sneezing or coughing.
• Take vitamins that can help strong your immune system.
• Eat foods that are healthy most likely it adds more fiber on your diet.
• Drink at least 6 to 8 glasses of drinking water each day.
• Have a regular exercise.

In humans, the symptoms of swine flu are similar to those of influenza and of in general, namely chills, fever, sore throat, muscle pains, headache, fatigue, vomiting or diarrhea are some of the symptoms. If students or any individual are experiencing these symptoms, they should at least sent home or hospital for thorough examination. Areas that are frequently touched should be clean up like, doorknobs, desk, tables, chairs, it must be away from dust and germs for protection.

Let’s all do our part to protect ourselves especially children from these deadly virus.

1. Guys hate sluts even though they have sex with them!

(oh yeah..you’re not “popular” if you’ve slept with more than 6 guys..You’re a HOE)

2. “Hey, are you busy?” or “Are you doing something?” ~ Two phrases guys open with to stop from stammering on the phone.

3. Guys may be flirting around all day but before they go to sleep, they always think about the girl they truly care about.

4. Before they call, guys try to plan out a little about what they’re going to say so there aren’t awkward pauses, but once he’s on the phone he forgets it all and makes it up as he goes.

5. Guys go crazy over a girl’s smile.

6. Guys will do anything just to get you to notice him.

7. Guys hate it when you talk about your ex-boyfriend or ex love-interest. Unless they’re going for the let-her-complain-to-you-and-then-have-her-realize-how-wonderful-and-nice-you-are method.

8. A guy who likes you wants to be the only guy you talk to.

9. Boyfriends need to be reassured often that they’re still loved.

10. Don’t talk about your guy friends to your boyfriend.

11. Guys get jealous easily.

12. Guys are more emotional than they’d like people to think.

13. Giving a guy a hanging message like “You know what?!..uh…nevermind..” would make him jump to a conclusion that is far from what you are thinking. And he’ll assume he did something wrong and he’ll obsess about it trying to figure it out.

14. Guys are good flatterers when courting but they usually stammer when they talk to a girl they really like.

15. Guys hate asking parents for money to buy girls presents. So they come up with ideas like saving their lunch money for a week. But it never works because guys are always hungry so they end up asking the parents for money anyway.

16. Girls are guys’ weaknesses.

17. Guys are very open about themselves.

18. It’s good to test a guy first before you trust him. But don’t let him wait too long.

19. Your best friend, whom your boyfriend seeks help from about his problems with you may end up being admired by your boyfriend.

20. If a guy tells you about his problems, he just needs someone to listen to him. You don’t need to give advice.

21. A usual act that proves that the guy likes you is when he teases you.

22. Guys love you more than you love them if they are serious in your relationships.

23. Guys will brag about anything.

24. Guys use words like hot or cute to describe girls. We rarely use beautiful. If a guy uses that, he likes you a whole hell of a lot.

25. No matter how much guys talk about asses and boobs, personality is key.

26. Guys learn from experience not from the romance books that girls read and take as their basis of experience.

27. Guys worry about the thin line between being compassionate and being whipped.

28. Guys think WAY too much. One small thing a girl does, even if she doesn’t notice it can make the guy think about it for hours, trying to figure out what it meant.

29. Guys seek for advice from girls not other guys. Because most guys think alike, so if one guy’s confused, then we’re all confused.

30. Any guy could write out a rulebook or advice book for flirting, but no guy can write out a book about relationships.

31. Try to be as straightforward as possible.

32. If the guy does something stupid in front of the girl, he will think about it for the next couple days or until the next time he spends time with the girl.

33. If a guy looks unusually calm and lay back, he’s probably faking it and is spazzing inside.

34. When a guy says he is going crazy about the girl, he really is. Guys rarely say that.

35. When a guy asks you to leave him alone, he’s just actually saying, “Please come and listen to me.”

36. Guys don’t really have final decisions.

37. If a guy starts to talk seriously, listen to him. It doesn’t happen that often, so when it does, you know something’s up.

38. If your best guy friend seems to avoid you or is never around when you’re with your boyfriend, he’s probably jealous and likes you.

47. Guys hate rejection, but they hate being led on even more.

48. If you are going to reject a guy, just do it. Don’t say they are like a brother or just good friends, it just hurts even more. Tell them that you aren’t interested in a relationship and they will respect you.

49. Guys really think that girls are strange and have unpredictable decisions and are MAD confusing but somehow are drawn even more to them.

57. When a guy hits your butt it means that he wants you sexually

58. Even if they refuse it all guys are ticklish on the ribs.

60. Guys will test the waters to see how far they can get with you. Even if he doesn’t intend to it will happen. Know how far it is you want to let him go and he will respect that…after you let him know a couple times.

THE HUMAN body has the capacity to repair, regenerate, revive itself. But in order to do this, you need to:

1. Understand how your body functions.
2. Design a lifestyle that supports good health—body, mind and spirit.

Blissful food

Each food has an effect on the way the body moves, the mind thinks and yes, even the way the heart feels.

Sentient food is good for the body, normally alkaline, semi-alkaline, semi-acid forming.
Mutative food may not be bad but could have a stimulating effect on the system like garlic, chili, etc.

Static is extremely acid forming food which lowers the energy level of the body. Examples are deep-fried food, fish, meats, poultry, eggs.

The nature of the food we eat and the liquids we drink has a direct effect on the cells. Thus, the more sentient and mutative our eating lifestyle is, the healthier the cells, the more alert the mind.

Studies have shown that close to 90-percent of all diseases are stress-related. But most people think stress is limited to something mental or emotional. Well, how about the cells, don’t they get stressed every time you feast on oily, fatty food?

Add more of these high-caloric food to your menu: coconuts, lemon, calamansi, herbal teas, leafy vegetables, fruits, yoghurt, super probiotic kefir (cousin of yoghurt), broccoli, cauliflower, eggplant, jackfruit, nuts, raw sugar (coco sugar is best), whole-grain breads, legumes (beans, lentils), tofu, corn, bailey, oats millet (the most alkaline of grains).

All are mourning on the death of the King of Pop Michael Jackson, he found unconscious from his home last June 25, 2009 and was brought immediately in UCLA Medical hospital in Los Angeles, California. He was proclaim dead due to cardiac arrest. Many have been speculated that before he died he was injected a powerful painkillers such Demerol or OxyContin, but doctors denied such speculations. Until now, it was stated as “deferred” on what really cause of his death.

July 7, 2009 at the Staples Center in Los Angeles, everyone are gathered for Michael Jackson memorial. A star-studded presented by some big stars, Jennifer Hudson, Mariah Carey, John Mayer, Usher, Lionel Richie, Smokey Robinson and Stevie Wonder have been announced as performers who will help bid Jackson’s farewell. It was broadcast live on all major networks and many cable channels as well as streamed live on websites from MySpace to MTV.com. The Staples Center was where Michael Jackson rehearsed for the ill-fated, “This is It” series of concert in London supposedly on July 13, 2009.

But the most indelible moment in the 2 1/2 hour memorial ceremony was the sight of Jackson’s daughter, Paris, on the podium. The 11-year-old unexpectedly took the microphone and spoke for the first time to a worldwide audience, bidding her father farewell. “I just wanted to say, ever since I was born Daddy has been the best father you could ever imagine. And I just wanted to say I love him so much.” With that the sobbing girl fell into the arms of her aunt, Janet Jackson. Many of the 21,000 audience members audibly choked back tears. Some wept.

There were no updates regarding the final burial of the King of Pop, no dates specified and as no announcement where would the burial finalize.

A cheap five-in-one pill can guard against heart attacks and stroke, research suggests.

he concept of a polypill for everyone over 55 to cut heart disease by up to 80% was mooted over five years ago, but slow progress has been made since. 

Now a trial in India shows such a pill has the desired effects and is safe and well-tolerated by those who take it. 

Although The Lancet study is proof of concept, experts still question the ethics of a pill for lifestyle issues.

Critics say the problems of high blood pressure and cholesterol should be tackled with diet and exercise rather than by popping a pill.

The polypill used in the latest study combines five active pharmacological ingredients widely available separately - aspirin, a statin to lower cholesterol and three blood pressure-lowering drugs - as well as folic acid.

“He who has health has hope, and he who has hope has everything.” -Arabian Proverb

1. Move More
Make it a daily challenge to find ways to move your body. Climb stairs if given a choice between that and escalators or elevators. Walk your dog; chase your kids; toss balls with friends, mow the lawn. Anything that moves your limbs is not only a fitness tool, it’s a stress buster. Think ‘move’ in small increments of time. It doesn’t have to be an hour in the gym or a 45-minute aerobic dance class or tai chi or kickboxing. But that’s great when you’re up to it. Meanwhile, move more. Thought for the day: Cha, Cha, Cha…. Then do it!

2. Cut Fat
Avoid the obvious such as fried foods, burgers and other fatty meats (i.e. pork, bacon, ham, salami, ribs and sausage). Dairy products such as cheese, cottage cheese, milk and cream should be eaten in low fat versions. Nuts and sandwich meats, mayonnaise, margarine, butter and sauces should be eaten in limited amounts. Most are available in lower fat versions such as substitute butter, fat free cheeses and mayonnaise. Thought for the day: Lean, mean, fat-burning machine…. Then be one!

3. Quit Smoking
The jury is definitely in on this verdict. Ever since 1960 when the Surgeon General announced that smoking was harmful to your health, Americans have been reducing their use of tobacco products that kill. Just recently, we’ve seen a surge in smoking in adolescents and teens. Could it be the Hollywood influence? It seems the stars in every movie of late smoke cigarettes. Beware. Warn your children of the false romance or ‘tough guy’ stance of Hollywood smokers. Thought for the day: Give up just one cigarette…. the next one.

4. Reduce Stress
Easier said than done, stress busters come in many forms. Some techniques recommended by experts are to think positive thoughts. Spend 30 minutes a day doing something you like. (i.e.,Soak in a hot tub; walk on the beach or in a park; read a good book; visit a friend; play with your dog; listen to soothing music; watch a funny movie. Get a massage, a facial or a haircut. Meditate. Count to ten before losing your temper or getting aggravated. Avoid difficult people when possible. Thought for the day: When seeing red, think pink clouds….then float on them.

5. Protect Yourself from Pollution
If you can’t live in a smog-free environment, at least avoid smoke-filled rooms, high traffic areas, breathing in highway fumes and exercising near busy thoroughfares. Exercise outside when the smog rating is low. Exercise indoors in air conditioning when air quality is good. Plant lots of shrubbery in your yard. It’s a good pollution and dirt from the street deterrent. Thought for the day: ‘Smoke gets in your eyes’…and your mouth, and your nose and your lungs as do pollutants….hum the tune daily.

6. Wear Your Seat Belt
Statistics show that seat belts add to longevity and help alleviate potential injuries in car crashes. Thought for the day: Buckle down and buckle up.

7. Floss Your Teeth
Recent studies make a direct connection between longevity and teeth flossing. Nobody knows exactly why. Perhaps it’s because people who floss tend to be more health conscious than people who don’t? Thought for the day: Floss and be your body’s boss.

8. Avoid Excessive Drinking
While recent studies show a glass of wine or one drink a day (two for men) can help protect against heart disease, more than that can cause other health problems such as liver and kidney disease and cancer. Thought for the day: A jug of wine should last a long time.

9. Keep a Positive Mental Outlook
There’s a definitive connection between living well and healthfully and having a cheerful outlook on life. Thought for the day: You can’t be unhappy when you’re smiling or singing.

10. Choose Your Parents Well
The link between genetics and health is a powerful one. But just because one or both of your parents died young in ill health doesn’t mean you cannot counteract the genetic pool handed you. Thought for the day: Follow these basic tips for healthy living and you can better control your own destiny.

An electronic spy network, based mainly in China, has infiltrated computers from government offices around the world, Canadian researchers say.

They said the network had infiltrated 1,295 computers in 103 countries.

They included computers belonging to foreign ministries and embassies and those linked with the Dalai Lama - Tibet’s spiritual leader.

There is no conclusive evidence China’s government was behind it, researchers say. Beijing also denied involvement.

The report, Tracking GhostNet: Investigating a Cyber Espionage Network, comes after a 10-month investigation by the Information Warfare Monitor (IWM), which comprises researchers from Ottawa-based think tank SecDev Group and the University of Toronto’s Munk Centre for International Studies.

They were acting on a request from the Tibetan spiritual leader’s office to check whether the computers of his Tibetan exile network had been infiltrated.

Researchers found that ministries of foreign affairs of Iran, Bangladesh, Latvia, Indonesia, Philippines, Brunei, Barbados and Bhutan appear to had been targeted.

Hacked systems were also discovered in the embassies of countries including India, South Korea, Indonesia, Romania, Cyprus, Thailand, Germany and Pakistan.

Analysts say the attacks are in effect industrial espionage, with hackers showing an interest in the activities of lawmakers and major companies.

Compromised

The researchers said hackers were apparently able to take control of computers belonging to several foreign ministries and embassies across the world using malicious software, or malware.

“We uncovered real-time evidence of malware that had penetrated Tibetan computer systems, extracting sensitive documents from the private office of the Dalai Lama,” investigator Greg Walton was quoted by the Associated Press news agency as saying.

The Dalai Lama fled Tibet to go into exile 50 years ago

They say they believe the system, which they called GhostNet, was focused on governments in Asia.

By installing malware on compromised computers, hackers were able to take control of them to send and receive classified data.

In this case, the software also gave hackers the ability to use audio and video recording devices to monitor the rooms the computers were in. But investigators said they did not know whether or not this element had been used.

According to the New York Times, the spying operation is the largest to have been uncovered in terms of the number of countries affected.

In an abstract for a second report released on Sunday by two Cambridge University researchers - entitled The Snooping Dragon: Social Malware Surveillance of the Tibetan Movement - investigators said while such attacks were not new, these particularly stood out for their ability to collect “actionable intelligence for use by the police and security services of a repressive state, with potentially fatal consequences for those exposed”.
