So please
Whether we realize it or not, everyone we know is very special to us. When we look back on
our younger years, we will remember the people who went to school with us, the people who
made us laugh, the people who hung out with us when nobody else would, and the people who
made our lives much better simply by being a part of it.
There may be somebody who is thinking about you RIGHT NOW and wishing that you were around.
That's the wonderful thing about friendship-you always feel loved and cared about.
The most important thing to remember is... Always appreciate the friends that you have. A
fight may come and go very easily, but a friendship could last forever. For every second
spent in anger, a minute of happiness is wasted.
So please take good care of your friends!!! GodSpeed!!!
SENTIMENTAL
there are things in life,
sometimes destiny isn't always good it
becomes playful.
When you meet someone you learned to love, you thought that it was destiny who made you
paths cross...
But what if making you paths cross is just a part of the game that the playful destiny
created,
making you realize in the end that the person you thought that was destined for you wasn't
really ment to stay....
But only destined to make you feel love and leave when you're already fallen....
it's not easy to state a reason when you decide to leave your love...
some might think its just an excuses, some might not actually believe, some might will blame
you, some might even be mad at you....
what they dont see is the fact that...
its hurts you even more hurt someone who doesn't deserve to be hurt.
Fall In LOve..

Low-level H1N1 outbreak in Metro declared
MANILA - The Department of Health (DOH) on Tuesday said 28 more Filipinos have tested positive for influenza A (H1N1) infection, as a "low-level community outbreak" was declared in Metro Manila due to an increasing number of schools affected by the disease.
In a press statement, Health Secretary Francisco Duque said the 28 new cases involved 16 males and 12 females with ages ranging from seven months to 49 years old. All of the new cases have had no history of travel to any affected country, he said.
The total number of confirmed cases in the Philippines is now at 473, the DOH stated.
Duque also said 26 more A (H1N1) patients in the Philippines have already fully recovered, bringing the total count of those who have fully recovered to 400. The figure represents 85 percent of all the confirmed cases reported since May 21.
Duque reiterated there that is only one reported A(H1N1)-related death in the Philippines, which is also the first swine flu-related death in Asia.
In a press conference Monday, the health chief identified the victim as a 49-year-old woman residing in Metro Manila who died last June 19. Cause of death was "congestive heart failure secondary to acute myocardial infarction aggravated by severe pneumonia either bacterial, viral or both."
He said "a throat-swab revealed that she was positive for A (H1N1)."
The health chief said the woman's husband and 21-year-old son were quarantined after exhibiting symptoms of A (H1N1) infection.
Low-level outbreak in metro
The low-level community outbreak was declared in Metro Manila, specifically in Manila, ParaƱaque, Quezon City, Marikina, Makati, Pasig, Mandaluyong, and Caloocan.
Areas particularly affected are those where third-level transmission has been confirmed by the DOH, especially around schools with A (H1N1) cases.
Twenty-two schools in the national capital region have had students, faculty or staff getting the virus.
Third-level transmission occurs when a person contracts the illness from another person who has contracted the same from an "index case," or the initial patient, the DOH explained.
The DOH said they will now focus on curing patients than on contact tracing, saying it is now "impossible" to do contact tracing now that the virus transmission has shifted to migration.
The health department, however, said that the public should not be alarmed by this announcement, since it is not yet a sustained community outbreak.
They also said that the spread of the virus is still under control, since the cases are lumped together in small clusters, particularly in schools.
