You'll Be In My Heart (With Lyrics)-Tarzan and Phil Collins

In memory of my late mother who died last August 15, 2009. Dedicated to my siblings who are with me.

Come stop your crying
It will be all right
Just take my hand Hold it tight 

I will protect you
from all around you
I will be here
Don't you cry 

For one so small,
you seem so strong
My arms will hold you,
keep you safe and warm
This bond between us
Can't be broken
I will be here
Don't you cry 

'Cause you'll be in my heart
Yes, you'll be in my heart
From this day on
Now and forever more

Wanted National Costume for U.N.

    United Nation was founded after the World War II it was officially organized on October 24, 1945. Philippines is among its 192 members. That is why every October we commemorate U.N's foundation through display of flags and wearing of International costumes.

     This morning, my youngest Hannah excitedly showed to me her teacher's note that she will represent the Country of Iran. I want to see the teacher to ask her if she can assign another country for my daughter because I don't really have the clear picture of Iran's costume. But an idea popped out from my mind. Why not search in the web or ask friends from blog world to help me.I know some have the idea. Just link me to your post if you get one. Thanks ahead.

My HEKASI class during one of our U.N. Culminating Celebration. Children enjoyed wearing their International Costume

Mellow Yellow Monday and Ruby Tuesday

   It had been 5 years since I stopped drinking coffee. I quited for a reason healthy food intake. But when my hubby brew this coffee sent by Tatay Tony. Oh my I just can't resist the aroma. At first I just sniffed it in the air. Next, 2 sips from hubby's mug. But then later, half a mug and now I don't think I can go on with my day without it.

   I'm glad that Starbucks Coffee will have it's first branch in Cagayan de Oro, located at Lim Ket Kai Mall. surely I will not miss their opening day. I want to have a cup of it. Watch for it Kagay-anons!

  

  Yesterday, some of our brethren came by our house for fellowship. We served starbucks coffee to them and Epay baked this very delicious and mouthwatering cake from Betty Crocker. This cake is perfectly served with the coffee we brew. Everyone was having a great Sunday afternoon.

Foot and Mouth Disease - What is this?

   

  Just 3 days ago Presidential sister Kris Aquino's kids were reported to have acquired foot and mouth disease. Different reactions and opinions were made by people who heard the news, like: " pati pala na ang mayayama pwedeng tamaan nito!" "Naku, saan ba nakukuha and ganitong sakit?"  " Akala ko mga taong lang na mahilig sa marurumi and nahahawa ng ganitong sakit!". What is shocking is that it does not choose people. Any person from any walks of life can be contaminated with this infection. Even wealthy and famous personality.


   What really is HMFD, what are the symptoms and the remedy of this disease?
   


   Hand, foot and mouth disease (HFMD) is a human syndrome caused by intestinal viruses of the Picornaviridae family. 

Symptoms Includes:
Fever, Headache, Vomiting, Fatigue, Non-itchy body rash, followed by sores with blisters on palms of hands and soles of feet, Sore throat, Sores or blisters may be present on the buttocks of small children and infants,Loss of appetite and Diarrhea

How It Is Spread

• Infection is spread from person to person by direct contact with infectious virus. Infectious virus is found in the nose and throat secretions, saliva, blister fluid, and stool of infected persons. The virus is most often spread by persons with unwashed, virus-contaminated hands and by contact with virus-contaminated surfaces.

• Infected persons are most contagious during the first week of the illness.

• The viruses that cause HFMD can remain in the body for weeks after a patient's symptoms have gone away. This means that the infected person can still pass the infection to other people even though he/she appears well. Also, some persons who are infected and excreting the virus, including most adults, may have no symptoms.

• HFMD is not transmitted to or from pets or other animals.

Treatment:
There is no specific treatment for hand, foot and mouth disease. Individual symptoms, such as fever and pain from the sores, may be eased with the use of medication. HFMD is a viral disease that has to run its course; many doctors do not issue medicine for this illness, unless the infection is severe. Infection in older children, adolescents, and adults is normally very mild and lasts around 1 week or sometimes more. Fever reducers will help to control high temperatures. Luke-warm baths will also help bring temperature down.


There is no specific treatment for this infection so better if noticed  the signs and  symptoms listed above  in our children we better consult the doctor or specialists for HFMD so situation will not grow worst and we can prevent the spread of HFMD.
