Flu Season is On

Another bout with the pesky cold is dampening my spirit. I usually love the colder months here and I just like the way winter season makes my skin glow, my pores tight, my hair manageable and my complexion lighter than usual. However, this is also the season where I battle the fight to ward coughs and colds.

Just few weeks ago, I had my sinusitis attack again. It's coming back too! I have been sneezing with matching watery eyes and awfully painful joints. I hope I am not coming down with a flu because I cannot afford another sick leave especially when I just used few days 2 weeks ago.

So, this season is a bit tricky. The weather is either cool and cold. The breeze is inviting but it dips around the afternoon towards early morning the next day. It will get colder as the days pass and we should all be ready to brace ourselves with the weather changes.

Follow this tips to ward off the flu this season:

1. Drink plenty of water and fresh juices.

2. Eat fresh fruits and vegetables. Get proper nutrition and take your multi-vitamins too.

3. Have enough rest and sleep.

4. Wear proper clothing. If your office area is like a freezer then change the temperature control accordingly.

5. Wear woolen socks at night to keep your feet warm.

6. Have an inoculation for Influenza.

7. Control stress because it is one of the biggest factor which weakens your immune defenses.

Keep those tissues and flu virus at bay and strive to be healthy throughout the colder months.

Swine Flu Alert

First it was Mad Cow Disease, next was Bird's Flu and now Swine Flu. The virus around us has mutated that even without contact to pigs, people can acquire Swine Flu.

There are plenty of information in the internet regarding this "modified" Swine Flu. It poses like a regular flu but until you get yourself tested, you or the doctors will not know whether you have it or not. Please practice precautionary measures. We can never be too sure these days.

For more information on the Swine Flu and its symptoms, you may check World Health Organization's advisory alert on the H1N1 strain.

Up and Running (?!?)

My laptop's been bugged for the past week. I was unable to post other than the one yesterday and some that I have already pre-programmed to post on a certain day. I have a feeling it was some sort of a "worm" or "virus" because now, my laptop's up and running. Yey! Though not preempting any circumstances, I think my laptop "knew" that she's (yup, she's a she...hahahahaaa....just a trivia, I have this silly habit of naming things with human names...don't ask what's my laptop's name though...hahahaha!) about to be sentenced to "re-formatting." I was already copying and creating back-ups for my files when lo and behold! I tried to log in for the last time before I reformat it and was surprised to find out that I can log in again. I don't have an iota of info on what happened suddenly. All I care is that she's back, I am back and everybody's within reach again!

Bear with me again as I try to cope up with the dropping of e-loves and reading of blogs and commenting. I have gazillions of things on my head right now to process. I may just feel what my laptop felt - "system overload!"

Tuh-tah for now and like what Arnie said in the Terminator, "I'll be back..." Hasta la vista babies!!!
