THE FORESKIN CUTTING CONTINUES

*this entry is not for the faint-hearted, blood and other medical procedure captures are posted below*

I was living my post-call-center-career in Estancia, Iloilo doing nothing but downloading songs, blogging, FB-ing, surfing porns (Ooops! Did I mention that?) when a politician side-kick arrived. He gave me a weird-alien-looking stone and when I held it, it absorbed my life energy... Lolx! that's not how it happened.

The Vice Gov's personnel came and my brother asked if he can talk to the Vice Gov to help me get a job in a hospital since I am a registered nurse. It's the usual thing done in countrysides to get a decent job in a government owned establishments. It was supposed to be a meet-and-greet only with the Vice Gov when Manong Boy, (the sidekick) asked me if I want to go with them to Daculan for a Circumcision Caravan that's sponsored by the Vice Gov... with that started my Foreskin Cutting Journey...

We've accomplished 5 areas already and conducted the circumcision at:
- Daculan, Estancia, Iloilo
- Sara, Iloilo
- Batad, Iloilo
- Balasan, Iloilo
- Ajuy, Iloilo

The last one, in Ajuy, was the most tiring since we had 240 patients for circumcision and I actually performed 20 or so. As requested by a friend, Varry, below are the pictures:

We conquered Sara, Iloilo

This will soon help increase Philippine population

SWINE FLU update

A Colorado company has created a disposable medical device that can - in 15 minutes - detect the presence of disease in a single drop of body fluid. “We have developed a device that can address major pandemics, like the swine flu one that’s threatening to emerge,” said Beacon Biotechnology CEO, Fred Mitchell. “It could be used at airports, border crossings and at makeshift clinics designed to quarantine people infected with the disease.” -www.beaconbiotechnology.com.

Like the Philippines can afford that! We'll see what our beloved president will do.

SWINE FLU AND SOME RANDOM THOUGHTS

I was reading www.perezhilton.com and came across his blog post about the Swine Flu affecting the U.S. Initially, I didn't care since I don't eat pork or any of its product since I am a Muslim. Last night, I glimpse on TV, TV Patrol was reporting something about it. Still, it did not bother since I'm used to the Philippines over-reacting on matters affecting the US or other countries.

What triggered me to talk about this Swine Flu is the idea that human-to-human infection is possible and accordingly, it's airborne. Who wouldn't react right? So there, I google-ed what I can find about the Pandemic Swine Flu. Read below:

Human cases of swine influenza A (H1N1) virus infection have been identified in the United States. Human cases of swine influenza A (H1N1) virus infection also have been identified internationally.

I really did not read into the details much. What's important is this:

There are everyday actions people can take to stay healthy.

• Cover your nose and mouth with a tissue when you cough or sneeze. Throw the tissue in the trash after you use it.
• Wash your hands often with soap and water, especially after you cough or sneeze. Alcohol-based hands cleaners are also effective.
• Avoid touching your eyes, nose or mouth. Germs spread that way.

Try to avoid close contact with sick people.

• Influenza is thought to spread mainly person-to-person through coughing or sneezing of infected people.

These things are inside these things below

These things can kill these things below

That's the Swine Flu part of this post and the Random Thought part is, why a sudden outbreak of this flu? Why until now, cost cutting from companies are still here? Why are we going down economically? What's wrong with the world?

SONYA'S GARDEN DREAM

I came across this Bed and Breakfast property in Tagaytay, Philippines on a fashion magazine. I fell in love with the place the moment I saw it on the magazine. Let's say I'm a big fan of Zennish Places and Sonya's Garden is somewhat like that.

Wanted to go somewhere green and minus the urban pollution. I even asked my former colleagues to go there with me. Unfortunately, I was never good in saving money plus when I committed with someone and asked if we can go there, my ex-s.o. declined quoting Tagaytay-visit to be cheap.

But then, when I checked an FB-user's Multiply account (http://shiaolien.multiply.com) and checked out his pictures at Sonya's Garden my Sonya's Garden Dream is revived!

Here's the property's website: http://www.sonyasgarden.com/
