SWINE FLU - From: Wikipedia.org
Signs and Symptoms
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), in humans the symptoms of swine flu are similar to those of influenza and of influenza-like illness in general. Symptoms include fever, cough, sore throat, body aches, headache, chills and fatigue. A few more patients than usual have also reported diarrhea and vomiting.[15]
Because these symptoms are not specific to swine flu, a differential diagnosis of probable swine flu requires not only symptoms but also a high likelihood of swine flu due to the person's recent history. For example, during the 2009 swine flu outbreak in the United States, CDC advised physicians to "consider swine influenza infection in the differential diagnosis of patients with acute febrile respiratory illness who have either been in contact with persons with confirmed swine flu, or who were in one of the five U.S. states that have reported swine flu cases or in Mexico during the 7 days preceding their illness onset."[16] A diagnosis of confirmed swine flu requires laboratory testing of a respiratory sample (a simple nose and throat swab).[16]

I AM ALIVE and AWAKEN
NASAAN ANG GUNITA
Aboard
Northwest Orient
Flight 747
Mahal kong Ama,
Tatlong oras na lang tatlong mahahabang oras na lang ang aking ipaghihintay upang ang gulong ng dambuhalang ito ay sumayad sa lupang aking kinasasabikan. Mula sa Chicago Airport,na kanyang pinagmulan may 17 oras na ang nakararaan para ko pang naririnig ang ugong ng kanyang makina,. Bumibingi,tumutulig na may kahalong kasiyahan.ah ano nga ba ang dumadagundong na kasiyahang hatid ng mga walang kawawaang ingay/
Alam ko na , Ang Bagong taon Ama, ang Bagong Taon sa ating bayan. Natatandaan ko pa Ama kung paanong sinasalubong ng mga taga Orion ang pagdatal nito. Hindi bat akoy madalas sumama sa trak ni Ka Inong na nagpapasyo sa buong bayan?hawak koy butas na batya ni Inang na ubos lakas kong kinakalampag,hila naman ng trak ang isang lata na ang ingay na gawa ay nakikisaliw sa ingay ng mga labintador at luses na noon ay di pa ipinagbabawal.
Sino ang makalilimot sa linamnam ng halya at sarap ng sumang ginawa ni inang kasama ang dinuguan at pancit luglog,mga simbulo raw ng mahabang buhay at kasaganaan ng papasok na taon.
Ang pista ng Orion Ama? Masaya pa rin bang tulad ng dati? Ilan na nga bang banda ang inupahan noong huling pista diyan? Tila ang tanda ko ay pito at sabi ninyo ay pinakakaunting bilang iyon ng banda ng musiko sa kasaysayan ng Orion.
Uso pa rin ba ang paghahanda ng marami? Natatandaan ko pa ang pagpapakain ko ng baboy na ating kakatayin sa bisperas ng pista. Paano ba naman kayo takot na takot mapahiya sa mga bisita na dumadagsa sa bahay natin. Bale ba dumarating ng bisperas at sasabihing makikinig ng serenata at manonood ng La torre sa kaarawan ng pista,ano pa nga ba ang matitira sa handa natin?
Di ba kung minsan inuutangan pa kayo ng pamasaheng pauwi dahil naubos daw ang pera sa perya pero saan ka natalo lang sila sa beto beto at bingo sa plasa. Eh yong palabas ng mga artista sa plsa kung a nuebe ng Mayo, ginagawa pa ba? Magkano naman ang ambag na hinihingi para sa pista.Ibig mong sabihin Ama ,ginagawa pa ring lahat ito sa kabila ng hirap ng buhay ngayon?Huwag kang magagalit ama Subalit sa panahong ito na mahirap kumita ng pera ang mararangyang pista ay dapat na nating alisin. Sapat na marahil ang pamisa.
Alam kong bilang magsasaka ang marangya at masaganang pista ay paraan ninyo ng pasasalamat kay Apo Ige. Subalit sa palagay kaya ninyo ay masisiyahan ang patron ng ating bayan sa inyong paglustay sa sa isang taong hirap sa loob lang ng isang araw na pagdiriwang. Natutuwa kaya siya na ang pista ay maging kapalit ng paghihirap ninyo sa bukid?
Nabanggit ko ang bukid Ama ang bukid. Hanggang sa ospital na aking pinaglilingkuran ay pinaguusapan at umaabot ang balita tungkol sa kabutihang ibinibigay ng pamahalaan sa mga magsasaka. Ang Orion ba ay inabot na ng programa ng land reform? Ama nakakawala ka na ba sa pagkakatali sa bulid?
Nagngingitngit ako kung magugunita ko ang iyong pakikiusap sa usererong yaon tuwing mangungutang ka ng ipagpapatanim. Saglit na damdaming nawawala tuwing maririnig ko na ang pagbibiruan ng mga mambubunot ng punla at manananim.
Uso pa ba Ama ang palusong sa bukid? Sino ang iyong kinuhang magararo at magsuyod? Sina Tata Ado at ang kanyang pangkat pa rin ba? Kumusta na sila? Kailan ba ako huling nakakain ng sinampalukang manok ni Inang at ng patkot ginaok ni Bertang Bingi? Ito pa rin ba ang ipinakakain sa mga nanlulusungan sa bukid.
At naku,iyon nga palang duman. Natatandaan ko pa Ama ang pagsuba natin sa Bangad para magani ng murang butil ng malagkit. Matiyagang isinasangang ni Inang at pinagtutulungan ninyong bayuhin ni Kuya. Masarap ang duman,malinamnam,manamis namis.Matagal na akong di nakakain noon Ama. Matagal na.Mula pa noong akoy pumasa dayuhang lupa. Ah Ama huah mo ng ulitin ang pagsumbat sa akin. Inaamin ko akoy nakalimot..sa inyo at sa mga ala ala ng aking bayan.
Patawad Ama kung sa pagkamatay ni Inang noong isang Byernes Santo ay di ako nakauwi. Inakala kong labis labis ang dolyar na ipinadala ko noon para sa kanyang libing. Paano nga pala noon Ama,di man lang nakapamasyal sa mga kubo kubo sina Kiko at Ligaya? kawawang mga kapatid ko Kundi marahil nagkasakit si Inang ay kasama sila ng mga kabataan sa pagsama sa prusisyon ng Miyerkules Santo at Biyernes Santo.
Si Tata Kardo nga pala Ama nag gugulong at naghahampas pa rin ba kung huebes Santo? Sino ang mga bagong nagpapasan ng krus ngayon diyan? Ay di nga pala sila makikilala may takip ang kanilang mukha.
Iyon nga palang Subok at Salubong,Ginagawa pa rin ba? Natatandaan mo ba Ama, minsan akoy nanalo sa Subok at naging anghel na nagalis ng lambong ng Mahal na Birhen sa Salubong? Iyon ang pinakamasayang Araw ng Pagkabuhay para sa akin.
Ngunit ang mga araw na iyon ay di na magbabalik. Ang mga sumbat ng ala ala ay tumitimo sa manhid kong katawan. Kinikilala ko ang aking pagkakamali ang aking kawalang utang na loob sa inyong hirap ni Inang.
Hindi naman ako masamang anak,di ba? Nagpapadala naman ako ng dolyar. Di bat nakapagpatayo naman kayo ng maayos na bahay dahil doon? Hindi ba sapat na katapat yaon ng inyong pangungulila sa akin? Anot isinusulat ni Ligaya sa akin ang pagiyak ni Inang kung ako ang napaguusapan.
Totoo, alam ko ang hirap na inyong inabot sa pagpapaaral sa akin ng medisina,iyon nga ang dahilan kung bakit tinanggihan ko ang inyong mungkahi na diyan na lang ako maglingkod sa ating mga kababayan.
Bakit,maibabalik ba ng itlog at manok, ng gulay at bungang kahoy ang inyong paghihirap upang akoy makatapos? Kasalanan ko ba kung akoy nahikayat ng magandang pangako ng bansang may dolyar? Ito ang dahilan kung bakit akoy di napigil sa kabila ng pagluha ni Inang.
Labingwalong taon ang itinigil ko sa lupang banyaga. Dito ko na rin inani ang inyong tubo sa puhunan. Marahil ngay nakalimot ako. Kaya naman ngayong ilang minuto na lang ay muling nagbabalik sa aking isipan ang ilang mahahalagang bagay na noon ay di ko nabigyan ng pagpapahalaga. Akala koy bahagi na lang sila ng nakaraan.
Subalit Ama, alam mo bang may magagandang pangyayari ring naganap sa akin sa panahong yaon ng pagkalimot?
Ama, hayun si Teresa, ang aking kabiyak, si Jennifer at John ang iyong mga apo. Sila nga Ama ang iyong natatanaw nanakaluksang bumababa sa eroplano. Maya maya mo na ako makikita. Lapitan mo sila Ama. Sila rin ay mahalagang bahagi ng aking buhay tulad ng Orion.
Noong isang Linggo ng umaga isang di inaasahang pangyayari ang dumating sa kanilang buhay. Sa mga panahon pa namang kailangan nila ako.
Huwag kang iiyak, Ama, bagkus hinihiling kong patatagin mo ang iyong dibdib. Kailangan mo ito sapagkat nais kong kasabay ng iyong pagpapatawad sa akin ay kalingain mo sila. Mahina si Teresa Ama. Hindi ko siya naihanda para sa pangyayaring ito.Alam kong itoy isang dagdag pa sa iyong mga dalahin. Subalit paano Ama ....paano?
Huling tanong aking ama...handa na ba ang Orion para sa kanila at para sa akin?
Ang iyong anak,
Bayani

Who Do You Love ?
He also loved the third wife very much, and he was always showing her off to neighboring kingdoms. However, he feared that one day she would leave him for another.
He also loved his second wife. She was his confidante and was always kind, considerate, and patient with him. Whenever the King faced a problem, he could confide in her to help him get through the difficult times.
The King's first wife was a very loyal partner and had made great contributions in maintaining his wealth and kingdom. However, he did not love the first wife and although she loved him deeply, he hardly took notice of her.
One day, the King fell ill, and he knew his time was short. He thought of his luxurious life and pondered, "I now have four wives with me, but when I die, I'll be all alone.
Thus, he asked the fourth wife, "I have loved you the most, endowed you with the finest clothing, and showered great care over you. Now that I'm dying, will you follow me and keep me company?" "Absolutely not!" replied the fourth wife, and she walked away without another word. Her answer cut like a sharp knife right into his heart.
The sad King then asked the third wife, "I have loved you all my life. Now that I'm dying, will you follow me and keep me company?" "No," replied the third wife. "Life is too good! When you die, I'm going to remarry!" His heart sank and turned cold.
He then asked the second wife, "I have always turned to you for help, and you've always been there for me. When I die, will you follow me and keep me company?" "I'm sorry, I can't help you out this time," replied the second wife. "At the very most, I can only send you to your grave." Her answer came like a bolt of thunder, and the King was devastated.
Then a voice called out. "I'll leave with you and follow you no matter where you go." The King looked up, and there was his first wife. She was so sad and thin, she looked half-starved. Greatly grieved, the King said, "I should have taken much better care of you when I had the chance!"
In truth, we all have four wives in our lives: Our fourth wife is our body. No matter how much time and effort we lavish in making it look good, it'll leave us when we die.
Our third wife is our possessions, status, and wealth. When we die, it will all go to others.
Our second wife is our family and friends. No matter how much they have been there for us, the furthest they can stay by us is up to the grave.
And our first wife is our soul, often neglected in pursuit of wealth, power, and pleasures of the ego. However, our soul is the only thing that will follow us wherever we go. So cultivate, strengthen, and cherish it now! It IS your greatest gift to offer the world.

POST SCRIPT- LUZ VISIT
Luz will not be able to claim she visited the state of New Jersey, without a glimpse of the casino Mecca of the northeast. After our short chit-chats with Mike, we headed back to New Jersey for a quick glimpse of the famous boardwalk of Atlantic City. Annie showed Luz a few tricks in playing the slot machines. It seemed they were hitting it big on the 1 (penny) machine for a while. But that did not last but half an hour. Ladies, your contributions to the welfare of most senior citizens of New Jersey, were sincerely appreciated. Monday, April 13th, we said so long and good bye to Luz at Philadelphia International Airport. It was a fun-filled short weekend for all of us, but we’ve had a blast. See you in our next reunion, Luz. And thanks for the visit!

My Visit to Batchmates
An account of my 38 days trip to the Land of Milk and Honey will be too long to write about...so let me share you just the highlights with two batch mates who made my stay filled with warm memories.
The Places and People : Eddie and Annie at New Jersey
Mike and Linda at Pennsylvania
What I Appreciated Most: Both families were so solicitous of my needs so
I felt so at home in their abode. I shared their joys
with the grandchildren so I also missed the playful moods
of my "apos" back in the Philippines.
While There: We shared small talks about our
families over sumptuous dishes.Annie and Linda are
really good cooks.
My Wishes: May God's blessing be with your families always.

LUZ IS IN TOWN, PART 2
April showers, bring May flowers, as the old adage goes. And Saturday in the Big Apple, certainly lived up to that weather prediction. With the help of a former colleague, Lucy McManus, we spent the whole day in New York city under the umbrella, literally. From 34th Street close to the Empire State building, by St. Francis de Assisi church, to Chinatown for lunch, it was raining. We experienced the subway (train ride) uptown, midtown, downtown and everything in between. Throughout the whole exploration, rain did not let up. But overall Luz, Annie and Lucy had a great time, in my opinion. Here are some pictures to prove it.
A very inspiring story - Part 2 (on EDR)
Guess who were featured on pages 28 and 29! Our batchmate, ERNIE DEL ROSARIO, his wife, Cecile, and their sons, Paul and Nikki.
"HOW OUR IMMIGRATION TURNED OUT TO BE OUR MISSION - Moving to Canada was not our plan but God's" (by Ernie and Cecile as told to Alvin Fabella)
What an inspiring story! How I wish I could reprint their moving account here. In the meantime, I urge everyone to secure a copy of said magazine from members of the Couples of Christ or from Kerygma subscribers.

LUZ IS IN TOWN
Greetings from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania! Luz arrived today Friday, April 10, 2009 from Chicago for the weekend. She brought sunny and warm weather with her, thanks God. The weather prediction was cloudy and rain throughout the day, but a slight change for a better outcome prevailed. This was a duplicate of the same weather prediction when Josie and Pete Macalua stop by for a visit. As you can see from a few pictures,our friends not only brighten up our day but graced our home with their presence even for a brief period. More to follow in the next couple of days, batchmates.

From: PDI : Online Retreat
By Alexander Villafania
INQUIRER.net
First Posted 16:35:00 04/09/2009
MANILA, Philippines--Laypersons from the Philippine Jesuits organization are hoping to reach out to people during the Lenten season using the Internet.
Starting last Wednesday (April 8), the official blog of the Jesuits here started a series of online activities called “The Silences of Lent,” which the organization started promoting during the last week of March.
The site is for Catholics who want to continue practicing certain Lenten activities but are at home.
In their blog’s opening essay, people who are at home with Internet connections are encouraged to set aside about 45 minutes anytime during Holy Thursday, Good Friday and Black Saturday.
The online Lenten retreat starts off with a “preparation” for persons to reflect upon themselves. Prayer videos and PowerPoint “prayers” are embedded in subsequent pages.
Visitors are treated to different series of pictures, text and embedded photos and video clips as they move forward in their online retreat.
Apart from busy people, the online Lenten retreat is also for old or sick people who are also wishing to attend processions of the Stations of the Cross. Each of the virtual stations has corresponding video clips, photos and text prayers.
The Stations of the Cross is a widely practiced tradition wherein devotees would walk for long distances and stopping to pray on preset locations representing the 14 events that led to Jesus Christ’s crucifixion and death.
Another virtual activity in the Philippine Jesuit site is an online Visita Iglesia (Church visit). It is also a widely practiced activity to visit several churches in the Philippines.
Among the churches described in the online Visita Iglesia are Quiapo Church , the Benedictine Monastery of Transfiguration in Bukidnon, Cathedral of the Immaculate Conception in Antipolo and the Baclaran Church.
Disneyland
Last March 31, the child in me once again prevailed.I had a grand and fun filled day with my nieces and nephew in Disneyland .This was my second trip to this place of "million dreams" . During my first visit,I missed the rides or what they called attractions ,this time I tried some to accompany the kids .It was fun riding and discovering the world of make believe of Winnie, the Pooh, Indiana Jones Adventure, the Haunted Mansion, Pirates of the Caribbean, the Matterhorn, and a host of other attractions . I have to be patient accompanying the kids in the long queue of Mickey, Minnie,Tinker Bell,the Disney Princess for the photo ops and autographs.
I did enjoy Tomorrow's Land with the realistic 3Ds,the Disneyland Railroad which is a great way to get around the park, but a relaxing way to unwind as you see glimpses of various lands,the New Orleans Square for the home of pirates and grim grinning ghosts,and of course Disneyland at Night , the fireworks are great, beautiful!
Indeed Disneyland is the place where dreams come true even for a senior citizen!

The Importance of Underwear
Mabuhay si Sen. Edgardo Angara!
More research on aging pushed
By Anna Valmero
INQUIRER.net
First Posted 18:06:00 04/06/2009
Filed Under: Senior Citizens, Government, Laws
MANILA, Philippines—A government official has pledged support for the establishment of a center for research and advocacy on older persons and aging.
Senator Edgardo Angara, author of the Expanded Senior Citizens Act, said this center will be a source of quality studies for the growing number of senior citizens in the country.
Philippine census data of 2000 shows that there are 4.6 million Filipinos aged 60 years old and above, accounting for 5.97 percent of the country’s population.
Statisticians project that the country’s senior citizens population is expected to hit 7 million in 2010 and is set to double in the next 16 years.
Angara said the studies would then drive the senior citizens’ advocacies and demands.
“The Senior Citizens Law provides a clear avenue for the State in affording social security to our older persons. Why is it not enforced better? Because our senior citizens do not wield enough clout and lobbying power and pressure on the politicians,” the senator said during the National Academy of Science and Technology roundtable discussion.
Among possible advocacies could be on health care, as a survey conducted by the National Institutes of Health and the Department of Health in 2000 showed that about 92.5 percent of the Filipino elderly do not have health insurance.
“Our initial data reveal that there are gaps in our policies and programs for our older persons. The quality of data also reveals that we need a constant source of information and data on our senior citizens to pave way for better policies and efficient programs,” Angara said.
“I am willing to fund that kind of institution who will look at all aspects of aging, including the study of the brains, of memory, and learning,” he added.

We Need This ASAP
This is amazing and the implications for Israel, and the Western world are potentially huge:
An Israeli company called Innowattech has developed a technology that allows the “harvesting” of mechanical energy generated when vehicles drive along the street, or people walk on a sidewalk.
The vehicles or the people have to move across something called a Piezo Electric Generator system, which would be embedded in the sidewalk or street. Electric crystals in the system harness energy from the vibrations.
A stretch of road less than a mile long, four lanes wide, which is traveled by about 1,000 vehicles per hour, would create about enough energy to power 600 homes.
It is now being tested.
Israeli ingenuity
Wow! just think of how much energy the back to back, shoulder to shoulder pedestrians of Metromanila alone will generate. And there is no suburban area in the country that is not teeming with people at any time. The country will be able to generate power enough to turn the country into a very prosperous place on earth.

Please publish your thoughts, news, comments, recipes, tips, pictures, whatever. Kahit ano, as long as we would have something new to look forward to whenever we log on to our blogspot.
The silence is deafening. In less than a year, we would be seeing each other again in our 'REUNION OF THE DECADE.' We should all work hard to have a better get together, than the one that we held on our 44th year. We have to surpass our attendance then of 63 warm bodies. This is a challenge to everyone in the batch. This early, let's visualize ourselves having so much fun on January 17, 18 & 19, 2010. Para talagang maging masaya ang ating muling pagkikita.
Meantime, let's see each other in the blog - http://www.jriorionbatch1963.blogspot.com
