peanut butter scandal

wala munang peanut butter sa market ngayon dito sa davao.. city mayor Duterte recently announced the thorough inspection on the peanut butter products in the market due to "salmonella" thing on the products.... but what is salmonella all about? and how does it affect our health? here are some facts about this bacteria..


Salmonella are closely related to the Escherichia genus and are found worldwide in warm- and cold-blooded animals, in humans, and in nonliving habitats. They cause illnesses in humans and many animals, such as typhoid fever, paratyphoid fever, and the foodborne illness salmonellosis.

Salmonella infections are zoonotic; they can be transmitted by humans to animals and vice versa. Infection via food is also possible. A distinction is made between enteritis salmonella and typhoid/paratyphoid/salmonella, whereby the latter because of a special virulence factor and a capsule protein (virulence antigen) can cause serious illness, such as Salmonella enterica subsp. enterica Serovar Typhi, or Salmonella typhi). Salmonella typhi is adapted to humans and does not occur in animals.


another one....


Salmonella is actually a group of bacteria that can cause diarrheal illness in people. it has been known to cause illness in people for over 100 years.

Contaminated foods usually look and smell normal. Contaminated foods are often of animal origin, such as beef, poultry, milk, or eggs, but all foods, including vegetables may become contaminated. Food may also become contaminated by the unwashed hands of an infected person handling such food. (Source: excerpt from Salmonella: CDC-OC)

unexpected event

this was the first singing contest na sinalihan ng aking pinsan.. it was never in our plan na pasalihin sya. pero since andyan na siya, at hilig nya ang pagkanta, we encouraged her to expose her talent. anyway nobody knows her identity kasi bago lang sya sa aming lugar kaya napilitan na rin sya.. hahaha.. after the contest, ang sabi nya,, para lang daw syang nag videoke sa isang videoke bar.. heheheh... it was really fun.. the best araw ng aming barangay so far...

slumdog millionaire

this movie is undoubtedly an award winning one. a one of a kind and definitely a unique movie that would touch the heart of the viewers. before, when i was watching the news, i thought that this movie was a boring and like the rest of the movies, the theme would be revenge of a slave to his master or a humiliated person becomes reach and etc. but when i saw the movie, i was really excited what would happen next. the twist in the movie was unpredictable and surprising. you really don't have a clue what will happen next.. it's really really fantastic. i'm looking forward to see more movies such as this. SUPERB!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

unfair reality

habang kumakain kami ng tanghalian, napag usapan namin yung tungkol sa sitwasyon ng isa naming member. her live-in partner is working abroad for 2 years na. ang problema, buntis siya. paano nangyari yun kung 2 years ng wala ang kanyang partner. kaya tuloy, laman ng usapan ang kanyang pagbubuntis sa kanilang komunidad.. kawawa naman din talaga yung kanyang partner.. habang nagpapakahirap doon ang kanyang partner, sya pala rito ay nagpapakasarap sa piling ng iba... (alam nyo na yan).. pero sabi ko, malay natin kung may ibang babae rin ang kanyang partner doon.. sabi ng kasamahan ko, okay lang daw yun kasi lalaki yun.. pero kung babae,, hindi magandang tingnan...??????????????????


i strongly agree sa statement nya.. pero, narealized ko, bakit kaya ganun yung ating kultura.. okay lang na gumawa ng kalukuhan yung mga lalaki pero kung babae hindi okay.. let's have a reality check:::

1. they're both humans.
kung ano ang lalaki, ganun din ang babae.. pero sabi nila, walang mawawala sa lalaki, sa babae meron.. pero mali. may mawawala sa aming mga lalaki. una, virginity.. hehehehe.. pero ang pagkawala nito eh pride din ng ibang lalaki.. bakit iba at hindi lahat.. kasi hindi lahat ng lalaki eh gustong madevirginize at a wrong time.. sa babae, big deal talaga ang kanilang virginity sa ating kultura. kaya ganun nalang ka issue pag nagkasala kayong mga babae..

2. they both have freedom.
lahat eh merong freedom. kaya lang di masyadong na exercise yan dito sa pinas especially sa mga babae kasi ang kultura dito ay iba compared sa mga western countries. may freedom tayong gawin ang kahit na ano. pero harapin natin kung ano mang consequences na pwedeng mangyari.

3. gender equality.
pinakasensitive na issue eh yung gender equality.. paano nga ba maging equal yung babae at lalaki kung maraming bawal sa mga babae.. heheheh.. diba?



bakit nga kaya ganito? hehhehe

i hate monday

kakapagod talaga pag monday. ewan pero nakakainis. sana diritso nalang tuesday.. sarap pang itulog eh.. kaya pala sabi ng iba noon na pag monday, daming nalalate sa work kasi daw nakakapagod.. ngayon alam ko na yung feeling na may hang over pa sa weekend.. sana nga lang gawing 4 days lang yung working days.. hahahaha.. kakapagod talaga.. gusto ko pang matulog sa aking kwarto.. kulang nalang bulyawan na ako ng aking cellphone sa kaka alarm.. nag papa alarm ako ng mga 5:00 am tapos pag mag ring na yan,, papatayin ko kaagad tapos tulog ulit.. ahhahha.. gigising na ako nyan mga 6 am.. diba inspiring.. hehhehe.. kakatamad talaga.. may gamot ba sa katamaran?.. heheeh

confusing

EQUALITY!! ito ang pinaglalaban ng mga kababaihan.. ammm.. what they are trying to promote is that NO TO GENDER DISCRIMINATION. yup.. kasi naman lahat ng mga nagagawa ng mga kalalakihan sa ngayon ay nagagawa rin nman daw nila. hehehe.. totoo nman. pero ito, why i entitled my post as confusing.. kasi, if they really want equality, pwede rin naman pero sila rin lang namn ang gumagawa ng mga bagay na pwedeng mag magnify ng kanilang weaknesses. example, "pakibuhat naman ng bag ko, lalaki ka nman diba?" hahaha... akala ko ba kaya nilang gawin ang mga ginagawa ng mga lalaki.. ito pa, " oi, dapat lady's first" diba pantay-pantay na tayo sa panahon ngayon, di wag ng gawing isyu na uunahin kayo kasi babae kayo.. tsk tsk tsk.. agree?

great journey FRANCIS M.

I received a message from my cousin informing me that francis magalona has passed away at 1 o'clock in the afternoon. i am not a big fan nor a fan of kiko but knowing all his contributions to the industry, sayang talaga ang kanyang pagkawala. i was watching eat bulaga kanina, and was touched by the message of his friends in the industry. as i have observed, hindi lang sa pagkamatay ni kiko, kundi pati na rin sa ibang tao, tsaka lang natin narerealized ang worth ng isang bagay pag nawala na sa atin. hindi na kasi naririnig ni kiko yung mga appreciation at panghihinayang ng mga tao sa kanyang pagkawala. cguro, suggestion ko lang ito ha, bakit hindi natin ipractice yung LIVING FUNERAL. i read this tradition on MITCH ALBOM'S "TUESDAYS WITH MURRAY". kung saan, habang buhay pa yung tao, atleast naririnig pa nya yung mga bagay na dapat nyang marinig.

going back to kiko's death, kawalan talaga ang kanyang pagkawala. as a blogger, though it is too late to say this but, wanna say thank you for sharing your talent and inspiring other people to pursue their dreams. God bless to your new journey with our CREATOR!

best of friends

these are the people whom i trusted the most. i met them during my high school days. we were classmates for four years of struggles and fun. we shared joy and pain, bitter and sweet moments of high school life. they are the ones who will hold your hands when you loose your way. yes, they wont let you down. the best thing about these people is that, they are genuine. they speak what's on their minds and do what should be done just to comfort you. they are very supportive whatever decision you have to make. kaya kung papipiliin ako kung saan ako sasama among my circle of friends, syempre sa kanila. and by the way, may kulang pa sa picture. to view more pictures you could visit my MULTIPLY SITE. every holiday pala, we are celebrating our unending friendship day through beach party. ingat guyz!

people are people

hmm,, got confused when i saw this shop at SM City Davao.. out of confusion, i went inside the room and found out that it was a boutique. shirts and dresses were really looked good and expensive. then i realized why this shop has its name "people are people".. because people, in general are luxurious. no matter how much it costs, as long as it could satisfy and give them glamor, then go for it. admit it or not, we have this desire. to look the best way we want. then who says that we are in global crisis? as i have observed this past few weeks, students were very busy for their JS promenade. dresses were impressive (dress to kill), and as if it was their final show to offer. at the back of my mind, is this what they called global crisis? hehehe.. people are just people!!!!!!! no doubt............
