The Philippine Indpendnce Day

Today is June 12, the day where we, Filipinos celebrate our 110th independence from the country's colonizers. The declaration of the Philippine independence day was headed by Gen. Emilio Aguinaldo. It was done at the ancestral home of the general in Kawit Cavite and was presented in huge crowd of people.

But don't you know that the declaration was not recognized by the United States nor Spain? The independence of the Philippines was recognized only on August 4, 1946 by the United States.

On August 4, 1964, President Diosdado Macapagal signed the Republic Act No. 416 proclaiming June 12 as Philippine Independence Day in the name of nationalism and sovereignty of the Philippine Republic upon the advice of historians. That's the reason why we celebrate June 12 as Independence Day and not August 4.

Happy Independence day to my fellow Filipino!^_^

Pink Ribbon Month Tag

I've been tagged by ate Princess with this pink ribbon. Cancer is one cause of millions of deaths around the world and Breast Cancer is the 2nd common type of cancer next to lung cancer. Let's save lives by spreading this tag.

• The first sign of breast cancer usually shows up on a woman's mammogram before it can be felt or any other symptoms are present.
• Risks for breast cancer include a family history, atypical hyperplasia, delaying pregnancy until after age 30 or never becoming pregnant, early menstruation (before age 12), late menopause (after age 55), current use or use in the last ten years of oral contraceptives, and daily consumption of alcohol.
• Early detection of breast cancer, through monthly breast self-exam and particularly yearly mammography after age 40, offers the best chance for survival.
• Ninety-six percent of women who find and treat breast cancer early will be cancer-free after five years.
• Over eighty percent of breast lumps are not cancerous, but benign such as fibrocystic breast disease.
• You are never too young to develop breast cancer! Breast Self-Exam should begin by the age of twenty.

Tag:New techniques in Spreading HIV (Be careful). Must Read!

i don't really know if it's true guys, it was just forwarded to me on my friendster.
here, read it.

A few weeks ago, in a cinema, a person felt something poking from her seat. When
she got up to see what it was, she found a needle sticking out of the seat with
a note attached saying "You have just been infected by HIV (AIDS)".

The
Disease Control Center (in Paris ) reports many similar events in many other
cities recently. All tested needles were HIV Positive. The Center also reports
that needles have been found in cash dispensers (ATM) at public banking
machines. We ask everyone to use extreme caution when faced with this kind of
situation. All public chairs/seats should be inspected with vigilance and
caution before use. A careful visual inspection should be enough. In addition,
they ask that each of you pass this message along to all members of your family
and your friends of the potential danger.

Recently, one doctor has
narrated a somewhat similar instance that happened to one of his patients at the
Praia Cinema in Delhi . A young girl engaged and about to be married in a couple
of months, was pricked while the movie was going on. The tag with the needle had
the message : "Welcome to the World of HIV family". Though the doctors told her
family that it takes about 6 months before the virus grows strong enough to
start damaging the system and a healthy victim could survive about 5-6 years,
the girl died in 4 months, perhaps more because of the "Shock thought". We all
have to be careful at public places, rest God help! Just think about saving a
life by forwarding this message. Please, take a few seconds of your time to pass
along.

Remember ... to pass this on to everyone you know... Probably
your mail can help save a life.

wether it's true or not guys, i guess we really have to be vigilant and careful nowadays. we don't know what are the dangers around us. diseases/virus are keep growing in number and are spreading so fast. let's save life by tagging this information to everyone on our blog rolls! common guys, walang mawawala satin pag ginawa natin to bagkus makakatulong pa nga tau, we will make other people be aware of these things!
