We are READY

19 June 2009- An issue from the Rector-President of San Beda College-Mendiola issued a notice for a week suspension of classes due to a confirmed case of Influenza A(H1N1)in the campus. Five students have been confirmed to have the said viral disease.

Every one accepted the news with a calm response. Others panicked, paranoid because their friends had a physical contact with the victims still others are happy because classes are suspended for a week.

A(h1n1) is a viral disease. A simple contact to a person with this disease can let you acquire this disease also. Our school may have this case but I can say that we are ready.

Why?

We are ready to face the challenges. We are ready for a brand new start. We are ready to face the new challenges that will come ahead. Better, we are prepared for the upcoming days.

Classes are suspended but there are upcoming duties to do. Online teaching has been introduced.
To my fellow Bedans, the one week suspension is not a time for happy events, vacation but a time to be prepared for the upcoming days. We should stay fit and healthy keeping our side different preventive measures. This is our time to double time in our studies, read in advance and value each time we have right now.

Have a flu-free week!

ORA ET LABORA
UT IN OMNIBUS GLORICIFETUR DEUS

AH1N1 Plague

SWINE FLU, SWINE FLU, SWINE FLU

In short, AH1N1

I think everyone has been driven crazy because of this viral disease. Honestly speaking, it also freaks me out. The recent news for this is that an exchange student from DLSU got this viral disease (a jap I think). What really freaks me out is that my cousins and friends are from the same college department as hers. My gosh! It's killing me!

But friends, I bet you, don't panic that much. As my friend said, prevention is better than cure. As what every medical people has said, just minimize going to public places.

Take note: minimize. Don't freak yourself so much that you wouldn't even want to buy your groceries.

My friends, we have to know our limitations.

LIMITATIONS!

This is just a very short, what? what shall I call this?
Ok fine. This is just a short opinion. As in short.

Ciao!

Summer Loca

Six days of vacation. That's the number of days I have been "resting" from school work. I think so but not from other personal stuff. I'm going crazy because of arranging all my errands.

Well, why should I complain? Isn't vacation a time for everything. Just yesterday I shopped with Pam in the Mall of Asia until I really said, "Stop! I give up. I'm tired already." That was my first time shopping really BIG. EVERYTHING BIG. From bulky National Bookstore stuff, to bags, shoes, shirts and even memory cards. I really think Pam got a headache when we were already finding for a school shoes (I do really have a big feet, as in long. my shoe size is 10-10 1/2. BOOM!)

Now, what? I just got home from the mall, again. I just bought additional books (I want my money back. haha). I also sent a gift to my dad (it's father's day). Plus, I really have to prepare my passport. For the remaining days of the week, I will just be going here and there arranging my driver's license and some follow-ups to my passport. I also did my grocery.

IT REALLY DRIVES ME CRAZY!


When I just think about it, it's exhausting but on the other side of my head, I just can't be happy enough. I am very happy because I am blessed to get everything I need plus the bonus of getting what I want (take note of the difference of the two). One thing I am proud of what I've accomplished today is that I got to chat with the photographer from Great Image (where I have to have my photo taken for my passport). He really has good humor and good self-understanding. I just learned again from a man I just barely know but I think so intelligent and very honest.

Then, I just handed a piece of apple to this old lady along the sidewalk of C.E.U. Honestly, I am not giving money alms to them. I abide by the law that instead of giving them money, we should give them food or any valuables that they can use. I honestly admit that every time I pass by her, I don't give anything. I just walk straight ahead. Awhile ago, I took that opportunity to give her a piece of apple from my groceries. I am really proud of myself. I saw her really appreciating that piece of apple. as if she received a piece of gold.

Tomorrow's another day. Yes, I'll be out of my dormitory again preparing any stuff. I maybe complaining again but I am still thankful I have this life, I have errands to run and I have something to make me busy.


HAVE A HAPPY SUMMER!
