This is really a big development in the research against AIDS and how to combat the dreaded diseases which man has been fighting for the last 25 years. The study according to the news item, suggests that medical treatment should now focus of the gut mucosa or the intestinal linings where “gut-associated lymphoid tissue accounts for 70 percent of the body’s immune system. Restoring its function is crucial to ridding the body of the virus.”

Since the study has found out that the AIDS virus stays or does most of it damage to the immune system via the intestinal linings, it now reinforces the notion that unsafe sex between homosexuals (anal sex) should be strongly avoided. Another small step towards the defeat of the AIDS disease in humans.

I’ve grown tired and unintrested in getting involved with the Ministry. Alam ko namang mangingialam ang mga manang at manong sa simbahan kaya magkakandaletse-letse na naman ang mga buhay at plano namin para sa mga kabataan ng aming parokya, kaya ayaw ko na muna.

I know that the elders would once more meddle in our affairs and screw up our plans so before it happens again I’m bolting out, I’m just simply tired of wrestling with the jurassic generation of church people in our parish, who refuse to wake up and realise that their time has ended and now it’s our turn to run things in the church. It’s the old refusing to give way to the new. Though I enjoyed this kind of struggle in the past, I seem to have lost interest in it for now. God help me. God help us the youth.

Exactly an hour ago, the newest upgrade for WordPress has just been announced at WordPress.org. It’s version 2.0.4 and is says to have fixes for over 50 bugs which is probably the result of the July 4 bug hunt. Wished I could’ve joined the bug hunt but I’m just not cut out for it, it’s [...]

Still, despite the harsh economic realities, you’d still find a great number of young Filipinos, students especially, running around with the latest gadget technology can offer. The most visible representation would be the mobile phone; Nokia, SonyEricsson, Motorolla are just among the top brands whose latest models graze the hands, necks, bags and belt pouches of today’s students and young professionals. Add to this, the mp3 players from Creative, Sony and the much coveted iPod accompanying the newest models of mobile phones owned by the Filipino students today, one could easily assume that things are not so bad here in the Philippines. Or the Philippines is truly modernizing into the future or something else similar.

I’ve seen bloggers tagged by meme chains by other bloggers and I’ve followed some of them knowing that each blogger would be as unique like no other before. It sure looked like fun and I wondered how come no one has tagged me before? Growing out of immature reasons I just settled for the notion that other bloggers might have thought of my blog as too ’serious’ or ‘geeky’ to be tagged or to participate in such blogging activities or that not too many bloggers knows about my blog or about my self. Besides, it’s alright for me thinking that my geekiness might just ruin the fun flow of it already so I settled with not being tagged at all.

This has changed today as for the very first time, I was tagged by Eric to answer the ‘6 Weird Things About Myself‘ tag and I’m quite honored and excited by it. Woot!!!

For those still in the dark, it all started last Tuesday night when I went to bed early because I was not feeling well. I had a slight fever back then and there were more than a dozen of times I tried to sneeze but failed. Sneezing is a sign that my body is fighting infection and if I do sneeze, it’s good because the foreign invaders -viruses, bacteria and other microbes are being ejected out of my body at more than 70 miles/hour (the average speed of a human sneeze). Unfortunately, since all my attempts to sneeze failed, it meant that my first-line of body defenses failed and that the microbes have gotten inside my system. It’s time for all out bio-war.
