The number of cases has increased this year. The government has been doing non-stop promotion on how to prevent dengue fever and how to detect the disease early on. Some hospitals even have their own Dengue Fever line to assist and help diagnose the disease.<br /><br />Dengue fever is a disease caused by a family of viruses that are transmitted by mosquitoes. It is an acute illness of sudden onset that usually follows a benign course with symptoms such as headache, fever, exhaustion, severe muscle and joint pain, swollen glands (lymphadenopathy), and rash. The presence (the "dengue triad") of fever, rash, and headache (and other pains) is particularly characteristic of dengue.<br /><br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_0eAeAWLLHr8/TIzD_Kdl68I/AAAAAAAADi0/D6sMzWD9Cmc/s1600/citronella-bug-spray.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" ox="true" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_0eAeAWLLHr8/TIzD_Kdl68I/AAAAAAAADi0/D6sMzWD9Cmc/s320/citronella-bug-spray.jpg" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div>Study shows that Citronella Oil is a good way to shoo away mosquitoes. The plant is commonly called as "Mosquito Plant". One product I have been using is the Human Heart Nature Citronella Bug Spray. This is being used by my son to avoid the deadly mosquito bite or other insect bites. The smell may not be that pleasant but it goes away easily. This is one effective way to protect our family.<br /><br />Remember to keep your surrounding clean. This is the easiest and most logical way to prevent Dengue Fever.<br /><br /><br /><iframe align="left" frameborder="0" marginheight="0" marginwidth="0" scrolling="no" src="http://rcm.amazon.com/e/cm?t=aprilzyllah&o=1&p=8&l=bpl&asins=B002FDLNME&fc1=000000&IS2=1&lt1=_blank&m=amazon&lc1=0000FF&bc1=000000&bg1=FFFFFF&f=ifr" style="align: left; height: 245px; padding-right: 10px; padding-top: 5px; width: 131px;"></iframe>"KAI"http://www.blogger.com/profile/16331150745168253620noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9030624816706470466.post-88031129070359409092010-09-07T13:03:00.002+08:002010-09-07T13:20:23.997+08:00MONDAY Theme DaysIn February 2010, I finally moved from Baguio City back to Manila...same company...same work...just different locations. <br /><br />To make it fun at our work place, we had what we call the "MONDAY Theme Days".

I made a lot wrong decisions this year and there's no time to turn back but face reality. I feel so desperate but i can't be since I still have a son whom I don't want to see or feel any of my suffering.<br /><br />I will gather enough strength and share my experiences as open as possible. I just want to stay positive right now.<br /><br /><br /><br /><iframe src="http://rcm.amazon.com/e/cm?t=aprilzyllah&o=1&p=8&l=bpl&asins=B003KUSUG8&fc1=000000&IS2=1<1=_blank&m=amazon&lc1=0000FF&bc1=000000&bg1=FFFFFF&f=ifr" style="align:left;padding-top:5px;width:131px;height:245px;padding-right:10px;"align="left" scrolling="no" marginwidth="0" marginheight="0" frameborder="0"></iframe>"KAI"http://www.blogger.com/profile/16331150745168253620noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9030624816706470466.post-57095330708128459852009-07-14T07:01:00.003+08:002009-07-14T07:03:58.440+08:00Lock and Lock Products<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_0eAeAWLLHr8/Slu847g85CI/AAAAAAAADfs/Afyq_TDkhzs/s1600-h/s302p18341-1.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 302px; height: 302px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_0eAeAWLLHr8/Slu847g85CI/AAAAAAAADfs/Afyq_TDkhzs/s400/s302p18341-1.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5358083867921933346" /></a><br /><br />I have been using their products for quite sometime now and I loved it.

It used to be two separate events but this year we did the event all at one outing. Our outing was held at the <a href="http://www.leisurecoast.com/"><strong>Leisure Coast Resort </strong></a>in Dagupan, Pangasinan. It was a fun day full of different activities like parlor games, basketball, volleyball, and Mr. and Miss Hotshots 2009.<br /><br />It was a really great weekend. I wish I could bring my son along.<br /><br />I recommend this place for family gatherings and outings. The resort is quite big with different pools including a wave pool that will make your stay more enjoyable.<br /><br /><strong>Outing with friends</strong><br /><br /><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_0eAeAWLLHr8/SlGfKHhkwnI/AAAAAAAACrg/PcZYgRY53k8/s1600-h/SANY1544.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_0eAeAWLLHr8/SlGfKHhkwnI/AAAAAAAACrg/PcZYgRY53k8/s320/SANY1544.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5355236428087607922" /></a><br /><br /><br /><strong>Mr and Ms. Hot Shots 2009...Portia and Aaron</strong><br /><br /><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_0eAeAWLLHr8/SlGfLRGvyRI/AAAAAAAACr4/CdkzHbwVtS8/s1600-h/SANY1597.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_0eAeAWLLHr8/SlGfLRGvyRI/AAAAAAAACr4/CdkzHbwVtS8/s320/SANY1597.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5355236447839308050" /></a><br /><br /><strong>Swimming...the Main Event</strong><br /><br /><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_0eAeAWLLHr8/SlGfLve0M5I/AAAAAAAACsA/vfvmv8st1g8/s1600-h/SANY1577.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_0eAeAWLLHr8/SlGfLve0M5I/AAAAAAAACsA/vfvmv8st1g8/s320/SANY1577.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5355236455993324434" /></a>"KAI"http://www.blogger.com/profile/16331150745168253620noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9030624816706470466.post-69986642139015540432009-07-02T04:12:00.007+08:002009-07-02T04:49:28.437+08:004th of July Weekend...Coming Soon...I have one more night to sacrifice before the week ends. <br /><br />Since we follow the US time, we don't have any work on friday night. It's a holiday in the US. They will be celebrating 4th of July which is their Independence Day. It's going to be a big celebration for Americans. How I wish that someday I can personally observe this celebration. I am amazed with how people can be united even once in a while. With a lot of negative things going on around us, there is still something to look back to and celebrate about.<br /><br />In the Philippines, we celebrated our Independence Day last June 12. Unfortunately, we needed to go to work (but it's considered as double payday for us! yahoo!) since we follow US holidays instead.<br /><br />ADVANCE HAPPY 4TH OF JULY TO ALL AMERICAN READERS....<br /><br /><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_0eAeAWLLHr8/SkvH4Q5qNOI/AAAAAAAACm8/PrVIjUnmr04/s1600-h/kids.gif"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 325px; height: 283px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_0eAeAWLLHr8/SkvH4Q5qNOI/AAAAAAAACm8/PrVIjUnmr04/s400/kids.gif" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5353592351483376866" /></a>"KAI"http://www.blogger.com/profile/16331150745168253620noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9030624816706470466.post-81376697208210339492009-07-01T04:03:00.002+08:002009-07-01T04:05:28.053+08:00CHOCOLATE ADDICTI have been an avid fan of chocolates for as long as I can remember. I love chocolates and I was craving for it the whole day. I have a cousin who doesn’t like to eat chocolates. He doesn’t have any valid reason – he just doesn’t like it. I was waiting for an answer like – it’s too sweet, he likes only dark chocolate or something similar to that.<br /> <br />My work starts at 6:00pm. I’m currently on training for a new account (I work in a BPO industry – in other terms Call Center). When you are on training, you usually get bored with the whole 8 hour lecture. I know my trainer has been trying her best to liven up the class and wake up all the trainees since we need to be awake until the wee hours of the morning. Chocolate and Coffee became my best friends. It seems I can’t go on without my best friends.<br /> <br />Working in the night shift can be tiring…dehydrating…stressful…<br /> <br />Coffee keeps me awake but Chocolate fulfills and satisfies my night."KAI"http://www.blogger.com/profile/16331150745168253620noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9030624816706470466.post-28732868219657428802009-06-28T20:45:00.004+08:002009-06-28T20:58:30.421+08:00123456789I received a text message from two friends about August 7, 2009. I was fascinated with it and wanted to share it with everyone. Here's a copy of the message forwarded to me:<br /><br />"At 12 hours, 34 minutes, and 56 seconds on the 7th of August this year (2009), the time and date will be<br /><br />12:34:56 07/08/09<br /><br />1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9<br /><br />This will never happen in your life again...Be the first to tell them"<br /><br />I thought that this message was very cool!!!

The king of pop is gone and the only thing that remains is his life story and music. He has played a big part in the recording industry with unforgettable songs like Thriller, Bad, and Ben. As per the news that came out, he was found in a state of coma at his rented house in California and may have died of cardiac arrest. Cardiac arrest,commonly known as heart attack, is one of the most deadly and a silent killer. <br /><br />People were so busy reading news about his sudden death when in fact this is his second death. News of the police finding the body of the real Michael Jackson buried in his own ranch, <a href="http://www.theonion.com/content/node/30940">Neverland</a>, became a headline in the internet. Based on the investigation, Michael Jackson died 15 to 20 years ago from 2005. Evidence was based on his dental and DNA records.<br /><br />Now, I'm having second thoughts on who is who. <br /><br />Who is the real Michael Jackson? <br /><br />With two corpses on the news<br /><br />...let's just pray for both of them that they may rest in peace."KAI"http://www.blogger.com/profile/16331150745168253620noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9030624816706470466.post-12692063035778263032009-06-26T04:37:00.003+08:002009-06-26T05:31:52.283+08:00Ice BreakerI'm currently on cross training for a new account in our company. Our usual perception of trainings is that its boring, no fun at all, and something that we should be attending before we start our new job or assignment. <br /><br />Our trainer has a very good habit of enforcing ice breakers during training to wake everyone up before proceeding. One of the best ice breakers that we had for the class was teaching everyone how to do a very simple dance. <br /><br />Of course, I didn't join (I have two left feet...)...I stayed behind the camera<br /><br /><OBJECT class=BLOG_video_class id=BLOG_video-eb5244f4013c267 height=266 width=320 contentId="eb5244f4013c267"></OBJECT>"KAI"http://www.blogger.com/profile/16331150745168253620noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9030624816706470466.post-19950754948703368462009-06-25T05:36:00.005+08:002009-06-25T06:03:45.725+08:00Happy Father's DayI totally forgot that it was father's day last sunday. I failed to greet my husband, my dad and my friends. I feel so bad right now!!! I wish I can turn back the days and have my chance of greeting them again. <br /><br />I have been living on my own (with my son and his yaya) for about three years now. My husband is in Singapore and he has been gone for the longest time. Not having a father figure at home might have caused my amnesia. My son was just year old when he left and now he is four. The last time I spoke with him, he has no idea when he is coming home.<br /><br />I have noticed that television has not been advertising the "Happy Father's Day" occasion compared to Mother's Day. Are mothers more special? I'm not sure if you noticed the same thing. Television plays a big role with constantly reminding us of special celebrations within the family.<br /><br /><object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/CqDX7fNNCXw&hl=en&fs=1&"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/CqDX7fNNCXw&hl=en&fs=1&" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object>"KAI"http://www.blogger.com/profile/16331150745168253620noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9030624816706470466.post-72397534644119530022009-06-24T04:52:00.005+08:002009-06-24T05:14:19.108+08:00Back to SchoolIn the Philippines, all schools require every student to wear uniforms usually from Monday to Friday. Some schools would allow students to wear any attire during fridays. Of course, rules still apply with that provision. I remember that we can't wear short shorts, mini skirts, sleeveless shirts and the like to avoid harassment and for our protection. Some students follow the rules, some don't. For me, this is a good move for schools to identify their students and also increase security.<br /><br />I love the nursery uniform of my son. He looks like a sailor in this outfit... I think all he needs is a hat.<br /><br /><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_0eAeAWLLHr8/SkFFH16aQPI/AAAAAAAACcU/oxwzO-ojuzQ/s1600-h/SANY1526.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_0eAeAWLLHr8/SkFFH16aQPI/AAAAAAAACcU/oxwzO-ojuzQ/s320/SANY1526.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5350633833326330098" /></a>"KAI"http://www.blogger.com/profile/16331150745168253620noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9030624816706470466.post-68056070448572390822009-06-23T04:52:00.002+08:002009-06-23T05:08:59.890+08:00FinallyFINALLY...after a long time of not being able to write anything on this blog...I feel so excited right now. A lot of things happened during my "IDLE" days and I'll be writing it one by one. I don't want to bore you with how my life has been going and what's keeping me busy these days. <br /><br />First off, my baby started school last June 1. Just like any mom...I was more excited than my son. I got up so early in the morning just to prepare his school things and snacks. His classes doesn't start until 10:30 am and here I am so alive at 6:00am and keeping myself so busy. <br /><br />We were so early when we got to his school and since it was his first day, the classes were held for only one hour instead of two hours. I ended up treating him lunch in a fastfood chain and doing our stroll down Session Road.<br /><br />My son cried on his first day...I cannot let go of him but I needed to. Separation anxiety was the real killer for that day."KAI"http://www.blogger.com/profile/16331150745168253620noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9030624816706470466.post-70755473306568892302009-04-23T21:16:00.003+08:002009-04-23T21:34:15.384+08:00The Amazing Race 14I just watched the Amazing Race Season 14 latest episode. I feel so sorry for Luke and Margie. They may have over reacted a little bit but I do understand how they feel. Being deaf might have caused a lot of issues for Luke when he was younger. I know he has kept up with a lot of people and he has been laughed at because of using his sign language to communicate. <br /><br />Personally, I have high respect for disabled people. In Baguio, blind people can walk around the streets by themselves. They have their own jobs and people just made them a part of the community. <br /><br /><object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/fXRYcVLRg1E&hl=en&fs=1"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/fXRYcVLRg1E&hl=en&fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object>"KAI"http://www.blogger.com/profile/16331150745168253620noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9030624816706470466.post-71123006336431140182009-04-13T19:53:00.003+08:002009-04-13T19:59:19.373+08:00Short FilmI watched this short film about the life of some poor Filipino people.<br /><br />I hope our government can do something about it.

I don't feel old and I hope I won't feel that way in the next years to come. Sometimes I wish I was younger.<br /><br />My friends gave a bouquet of fresh flowers, Thanks to everyone who greeted me and to those who shared this special day.<br /><br /><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_0eAeAWLLHr8/Sd612eRWcsI/AAAAAAAACbM/dbjV7FHbV-g/s1600-h/SANY1325.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_0eAeAWLLHr8/Sd612eRWcsI/AAAAAAAACbM/dbjV7FHbV-g/s320/SANY1325.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5322891757041906370" /></a>"KAI"http://www.blogger.com/profile/16331150745168253620noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9030624816706470466.post-60036341534259286562009-04-07T09:48:00.003+08:002009-04-07T09:54:19.153+08:00New LaptopFinally...I was able to buy my very own laptop.

Time for practical jokes...I didn't have the chance to do anything with my friends. I was so sleepy and tired from work. <br /><br />I found this website that has the list of Top 100 Hoaxes or practical jokes of all time done during April Fools.

I was not an internet fanatic. <br /><br />Filipinos have been trying to make their mark in the Hollywood movie and music industry for a long time. You Tube has been a good way to publicize different talents. Two Filipinos already made their mark and now they have been tagged as You Tube Sensations. One of them is Arnel Pineda, now the band "Journey" main vocals. They are known for the song "Open Arms" which have been revived by several artists like Mariah Carey.<br /><br />Another You Tube sensation is Charice Pempengco. She is just 16 years old and starting to make a mark in the Hollywood Music Industry. I remember her joining a singing contest on TV but she lost due to very low text votes. Eventually someone discovered her by the name of False Voice and posted her videos online. Now, she's on her way to STARDOM! I have attached a video of her first visit to the US by an invite from none other than Ellen De Generes. Appearances in Oprah, The White House, and other shows in Hollywood followed.<br /><br />Enjoy!"KAI"http://www.blogger.com/profile/16331150745168253620noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9030624816706470466.post-91551876080192825362009-03-26T20:06:00.003+08:002009-03-26T20:11:02.291+08:00Vote EarthI am a very strong advocate of saving our environment and the planet we are living in. Please read of the article below and let's all give our share.<br /><br />For more information, please click on the title "Vote Earth"<br /><br /><strong>On March 28, 2009 at 8:30pm local time...WHEREVER in planet earth you live...Turn off your lights</strong><br /><br /><strong>YOUR LIGHT SWITCH IS YOUR VOTE</strong><br /><br />This year, Earth Hour has been transformed into the world’s first global election, between Earth and global warming. <br /><br />For the first time in history, people of all ages, nationalities, race and background have the opportunity to use their light switch as their vote – Switching off your lights is a vote for Earth, or leaving them on is a vote for global warming. WWF are urging the world to VOTE EARTH and reach the target of 1 billion votes, which will be presented to world leaders at the Global Climate Change Conference in Copenhagen 2009. <br /><br />This meeting will determine official government policies to take action against global warming, which will replace the Kyoto Protocol. It is the chance for the people of the world to make their voice heard.<br /><br />Earth Hour began in Sydney in 2007, when 2.2 million homes and businesses switched off their lights for one hour. In 2008 the message had grown into a global sustainability movement, with 50 million people switching off their lights. Global landmarks such as the Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco, Rome’s Colosseum, the Sydney Opera House and the Coca Cola billboard in Times Square all stood in darkness.<br /><br />In 2009, Earth Hour is being taken to the next level, with the goal of 1 billion people switching off their lights as part of a global vote. Unlike any election in history, it is not about what country you’re from, but instead, what planet you’re from. VOTE EARTH is a global call to action for every individual, every business, and every community. A call to stand up and take control over the future of our planet. Over 74 countries and territories have pledged their support to VOTE EARTH during Earth Hour 2009, and this number is growing everyday.<br /><br />We all have a vote, and every single vote counts. Together we can take control of the future of our planet, for future generations.<br /><br />VOTE EARTH by simply switching off your lights for one hour, and join the world for Earth Hour.<br /><br />Saturday, March 28, 8:30-9:30pm."KAI"http://www.blogger.com/profile/16331150745168253620noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9030624816706470466.post-16250188525736179802009-03-25T20:04:00.003+08:002009-03-25T20:14:08.826+08:00Wild Card Applicant AnnouncedThe Best Job in the World wild card applicant has been announced.<br /><br />Clare of Taiwan was selected after having 151,676 votes.<br /><br />Here's her application video:<br /><br /><object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/q82f6BJ_Ivw&hl=en&fs=1"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/q82f6BJ_Ivw&hl=en&fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object><br /><br />The other 10 applicants previously selected by Tourism Queensland will be announced on April 2 at 11:00pm UTC."KAI"http://www.blogger.com/profile/16331150745168253620noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9030624816706470466.post-16253535195627230162009-03-23T19:11:00.003+08:002009-03-23T19:38:10.654+08:00The BEST Job in the WorldI was watching the news last weekend when I heard about <a href="http://www.islandreefjob.com/">"The Best Job in The World"</a>.

One of my friends hated it so much. I recorded it through my camera and played it everytime we are in the office.
