Another rizal's birthday... I dunno why I am very facinated with this date and it ends up still the birthday of the National hero of the Philippines...


Jose Rizal Shrine -
Jose Rizal is the country's national hero. In his honor, the house in Calamba City where he and his family were raised is now turned into a shrine. His Spanish-vintage house is a two-storey, red-tiled-roof that stands on a very spacious loan. Short grasses covered the loan where century old trees grow. The house is maintained by the national government. It houses Dr. Jose P. Rizal's childhood, ranging from pictures of and early sculptures made by the late hero to laminated excerpts of some of his best written works, as well as pictures of the women in his life. The house is by no means in its original state - except for the old well, everything is a reconstruction of the original house of Rizal. The house still has maintained much of its colonial appeal. The museum on-site offers guided tours for groups. It has a gift shop on the ground floor. There is no entrance fee but donations are welcome. Museum hours are from 8:00 a.m. to 12:00 noon, and 1:00 to 5:00 p.m., everyday except Monday.




The Rizal Shrine dedicated to the lifework of Jose Rizal is located on Santa Clara Street, Fort Santiago, Intramuros, Manila, 1002 Philippines.

Rizal Shrine Dapitan (Exile 1892 - 1896)

Dr. Jose P. Rizal's Shrine (Baguio City)-
in this area lies a marble bust of the philippine national hero and a place to rest overlooking burnham park.


thats all for today...

Happy birthday...

ANG ALAMAT NG PINYA

ANG ALAMAT NG PINYA

Bakit nga ba napakaraming mata ng pinya? At bakit "PINYA" ang tawag sa prutas na maraming mata?

Noong unang panahon sa isang malayong nayon ay may naninirahang mag-ina, sina Aling Marya at ang kaaisa-isa niyang anak na si Pina. Palibhasa nag-iisang anak, si Pina ay hindi pinapagawa ng ina at sa halip siya ang gumagawa ng lahat ng gawaing bahay. Ang katwiran ni Aling Marya ay "Maliit at bata pa naman si Pina, matuto rin iyan". Kaya ang nakasanayang gawin lang ni Pina ay maglaro, maligo, magbihis at matulog. Ang anak ay lumaki sa layaw dahil na rin sa inang si Aling Marya. Noong dalagita na si Pina ay gusto na sana ni Aling Marya na turuan ang anak ng mga gawaing bahay, ngunit naging ugali na ni Pina ang katamaran. Kaya sa malimit na pangyayari, hindi na mautusan ng ina ang anak, palibhasa'y ina kaya matiisin. Kung ayaw magtrabaho ng anak, siya na ang gumagawa. Hanggang isang araw si Aling Marya ay nagkasakit ng malubha at palagi na lang nakahiga.

Pina : Naku! Bakit ka nagkasakit nanay?
Aling Marya : Ewan ko nga ba. Anak, puede bang ipaglugaw mo ang nanay?
-Sumunod naman ang anak sa utos ng ina. Naglugaw si Pina subalit dahil sa walang alam sa gawaing bahay ang nilutong lugaw ay nasunog. Pero masaya pa rin si Aling Marya kahit medyo mapait ang lugaw na kinain dahil kahit papaano ay napagsilbihan siya ng anak.

Tumagal ang sakit ni Aling Marya at si Pina ay nagrereklamo na sapagkat pagod na raw sa pagsisilbi sa nanay niya. Isang umaga, si Pina ay nagluto ng almusal at maghahain na lamang ito ngunit hindi makita ang sandok.

Pina : Saan kaya naroroon ang sandok? Saan ba iyon nakalagay?
Aling Marya : Hanapin mo, naririyan lamang yan.
Pina : Kanina pa nga ako hanap ng hanap pero hindi ko nga makita.
Aling Marya : Ito talagang anak ko, walang katiyaga-tiyaga. Bakit ba hindi ka na lang magkaroon ng maraming mata para makita mo ang hinahanap mo!
Pina : Marami pa naman kayong sinasabi eh, nagsesermon pa kayo!
- Pagkasagot sa ina ay sabay panaog si Pina. Siguro ay hahanapin niya ang sandok sa silong at baka nahulog.

Lumipas ang maghapon, gumabi, at nag-umaga ngunit hindi na nakabalik si Pina sa itaas. Naglaho siya na parang bula, maging ang mga kapitbahay nila ay tumulong kay Aling Marya sa paghahanap pero talagang hindi na nakita si Pina. Ilang araw ang nakaraan sa tulong ng mababait na mga kapitbahay ay gumaling na si Aling Marya. Hinanap pa rin ng ina ang anak ngunit talagang hindi na niya ito nakita. Isang araw habang nagwawalis sa bakuran si Aling Marya, ay nagulat ito ng makita ang umusbong na halaman sa malapit sa kanilang tarangkahan. Dinilig ni Aling Marya ang halaman at inalagaan araw-araw. Di nagtagal at nagkaroon ng bunga ang halaman. Napansin ni Aling Marya na ang bunga ay tila hugis ulo na maraming mata. Naalala niya ang huling sinabi sa anak bago ito nawala, "Bakit ba hindi ka na lang magkaroon ng maraming mata para makita mo ang hinahanap mo!".

"Si Pina nya!" ang sabi ng mga kapitbahay ng makita nila ang prutas na maraming mata habang itinuturo nila si Aling Marya.

Mula noon tuwing makikita ng mga tao ang prutas na maraming mata ay tinatawag nila itong si Pina nya. Nang lumaon ay naging Pinya na lamang ang naging tawag dito.

here is a little bit searches to read. thanx for your time...

Introduction to Symptoms of Dengue hemorrhagic fever:
Dengue hemorrhagic fever is characterized by a fever that lasts from 2 to 7 days, with general signs and symptoms that could occur with many other illnesses (e.g., nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, and headache). This stage is followed by hemorrhagic manifestations, tendency to bruise easily or other types of skin hemorrhages, bleeding nose or gums, and possibly internal bleeding. The smallest blood vessels (capillaries) become excessively permeable (“leaky”), allowing the fluid component to escape from the blood vessels. This may lead to failure of the circulatory system and shock, followed by death, if circulatory failure is not corrected. (Source: excerpt from Dengue and Dengue Hemorrhagic Fever: Questions and Answers: DVBID)
During the first few days of illness, dengue hemorrhagic fever (DHF), a severe and sometimes fatal form of dengue, may resemble classic dengue or other viral syndromes. Patients with DHF may have fever lasting 2 to 7 days and a variety of nonspecific signs and symptoms. At about the time the fever begins to subside, the patient may become restless or lethargic, show signs of circulatory failure, and experience hemorrhagic manifestations. The most common of these manifestations are skin hemorrhages such as petechiae, purpura, or ecchymoses, but may also include epistaxis, bleeding gums, hematemesis, and melena. DHF patients develop thrombocytopenia and hemoconcentration, the latter as a result of the leakage of plasma from the vascular compartment. The condition of these patients may rapidly evolve into dengue shock syndrome (DSS), which, if not immediately corrected, can lead to profound shock and death. Advance warning signs of DSS include severe abdominal pain, protracted vomiting, marked change in temperature (from fever to hypothermia), or change in mental status (irritability or obtundation). Early signs of DSS include restlessness, cold clammy skin, rapid weak pulse, and narrowing of pulse pressure and/or hypotension. Fatality rates among those with DSS may be as high as 44%. DHF/DSS can occur in children and adults. (Source: excerpt from Dengue and Dengue Hemorrhagic Fever: Information for Health Care Practitioners: DVBID)
