Bakunado sa FLU
Last March 7, I was priviledged to be part of Bakunado sa FLU. Together with Monch and our nieces and nephew, I attended an Anti- Flu Awareness and Prevention Seminar at Max’s Tiendesitas.
Dr. Ruby Mendoza – Dizon, Medical Director of Sanofi Pasteur Phils., talked about the common symptoms of the FLU, and the implications of getting infected with the virus.

According to Dr. Dizon, influenza is caused by a virus that attacks mainly the upper respiratory tract – the nose, throat and bronchi and rarely also the lungs. Vaccination is the principal measure for preventing influenza and reducing the impact of epidemics.

The Original Havaianas
With a distinct, evolving history that began nearly half a century ago, Havaianas certainly has a good reason to take pride in its heritage.
It was, after all, an original—it was the first to combine the simplicity of the Japanese Zori with the glamorous, laid-back ease of a tropical aesthetic. It championed innovation in terms of comfort and durability through the use of its secret rubber formula, the same one that is still used to produce the pairs we know today. It was also the leading catalyst that led an unassuming pair of flip-flops to become the international symbol of bohemian chic.
