I don’t know if you’ve noticed this as well, that so much has been going on this summer.
Here’s a brief rundown in case you’ve been living under a rock:
- Local newscaster Ted Failon was suspected of shooting his wife. Recently it was confirmed that his wife committed suicide.
- Deadly swine flu or A(H1N1) outbreaks from different parts of the world.
- Philippines’ Manny Pacquiao won the light welterweight title in boxing against Britain’s Hatton.
- Sex scandals of local celebrity Hayden Kho and some female celebrities, including Katrina Halili, circulating on the Internet. (much like a local version of Paris Hilton scandal, except the ladies didn’t know they’re being filmed)
- First case of A(H1N1) in the Philippines, a 10-yo girl, was confirmed a few days ago.
And now, second case of A(H1N1) is confirmed on a 50-yo woman.
EDIT: After reading some early comments from my readers from the other side of the world, I decided to take off the negativity of this entry. Just take care, everyone.
But I have to admit I’m still scared, especially that the first case of a(h1n1) here in the Philippines is rumored to hail from our area.
Moving on, I’m having problems with my pc recently. For clients waiting for their theme or turn, Read on! ▼
To end this entry on a positive note, I’m gonna leave you in awe with my favorite sidewalk chalk drawings by Julian Beveer.
See some of his art! ▼
Amazing 3d illusions eh? If you wanna see more, just google his name!

ang ganda ng drawings.. para talagang totoo. :))
Using
Ah! The Swine flu is very very scary. It won’t go AWAY either. It’s every where. But, the only thing we can do is hope for the best.
I love your site by the way. This theme is soooo cute.:heart:
Using
yeah, i heard nga may swine flu na daw dito. hayy, im a bit scared for my mom. since she’s exposed sa office. waaa.. and now, a 50 yr old woman? gahh. pretty scary.
amazing 3d illusions!! grabe. amazing.
Using
I am not “that” scared of Swine Flu Ate Tin since I rarely go out of the house but yeah, who knows? Even the ppl whp stay at home will be infected. BUT I really hope not. I’m not updated with the news. All I knew was the kid and now we already have the second case. WTF. The sex scandal issue won’t just stop because of the shitty Hayden. I hope your pc will be fine na Ate.
Using
So true. Swine Flu scares the hell out of me too.
The ten year old kid is rumored to be from Alabang. And a lot of my dormmates are from Muntinlupa — Which really make me somewhat, freaked out. 
Using
thanks for letting me know. I AM FROM MUNTINLUPA. And our house is a 5-min-ride away from Alabang. Shit talaga, somehow I already had the feeling na around dito lang kaya I posted about this, huhu.
Using
yea, you’re right sis. too much controversy has been happening here in our country and its something that should be solved as soon as possible.
Im loving those pics. LOL. looking like its real.
Using
Oh my god! That art is freaking amazing! I’m not sure I’ve ever seen such great 3D-effects before.
Hey, don’t worry about the swine flue. Still not many people have been infected. I mean, two people in the Philipines really isn’t a lot.
Using
I LOVE THAT ART!!!!I wish I could see it in person!!
Don’t freak about the h1n1 virus,It’s not as deadly as the media has made it out to be,there are numerous cases in America with it but only one death-even the person that died suffered other major health problems.Just make sure you keep your hands cleaned and if you touch a public item like a popular door handle,don’t touch your face or put your fingers in your mouth-same as regular flu do’s and don’ts and you’ll be fine
I hope you get your cpu fixed soon!!I wanna order a layout from you this summer
Using
WOW! Those drawings are incredible. I find it so amazing how some people are talented like that. A lot has been going on in the UK too… MP expenses, swine flu, BNP hate… exciting stuff!

Swine flu. Nakakatako lalo na ngaung magpapasukan na
Btw napahanga ako sa chalk drawings na yun ah! ang galing!
Using
Here in the U.S., a lot of people were very concerned when the Swine Flu first broke out in Mexico and then all of these confirmed cases were popping up all over the States in different regions (and of course around the world, too). The majority of the cases were from people who had recently visited Mexico, but then a lot of them weren’t.
Thankfully, the CDC (center for disease control) has said that it is a mild case and there is medication for it. That doesn’t mean that people around here weren’t terrified, but it seems to have calmed down a bit.
People are still cautious, but just make yourself aware of the symptoms and go about living life. Wash your hands regularly as you would during the flu season, though. And stick to information that is direct and precise, not the sensationalist news media who seems to like to scare the hell out of people!
We had five confirmed cases of the Swine Flu at my college, mostly dormitory students. But they’re all doing well and were treated in isolation.
Just be cautious and read news that is informative and not delivered just to scare people. :-)

p.s.: Those sidewalk drawings are incredible! I saw a special on that artist and he was being interviewed while he was sketching out a picture…it’s not even until a third of the way through that it starts to look like a 3-d image. Crazy! Very talented.
Love your blog, by the way!

People are really scared of swine flu. But I do give kudos to those people in the government who takes care of this…

Using
i’m really scared about the flu.
i don’t wanna get out of the house anymore.
i’ve seen those chalk drawings before. amazing isn’t it?
Using
Yeahh I have noticed that most of my affiliates that leave questions at the end of their blogs always get comments that are just answers to the questions…& they’re always short.
I wouldn’t worry about the swine flu if I were you. It’s really not that big of a deal & you just have to remember to wash your hands & not share your utensils with anyone. The chances of a young healthy person dying from swine flu is slim. It’s just like any other flu. People die from the common cold & flu every year so don’t worry about it. It’s just another strand of the flu.
Oh yeah, I’ve seen those chalk drawings. They’re pretty amazing!!
Using
kakatakot nga ung A h1n1 ee. uhmp.. uu nga.. mysterious tlga ang pagkamatay ng asawa ni Ted fylon..
Using
Although it’s really bad news that we already have a confirmed case of Swine Flu in the Philippines, we are lucky that it hasn’t spread yet.
So cool!
Hmm. Maybe your PC has a virus? If that’s the case you might have to have it reformatted. D:
I’ve stumbled upon some of those chalk drawings before.
Using
wooh. All praise to that Julain Beveer guy. He’s so good. Speechless.
Yeah. That flu attack also scares me. Hopefully DOH can handle it. And let’s just pray it won’t come into worse.
I think you are listed on my friends list in YM. hehehe. sweetham_yummy ang ID ko… You said you are willing to plug my shop? Hehe. Natuwa naman ako. How generous..
Thanks . Thanks.. *hug*
God bless Tin. Take care.

Those drawings are really amazing. Julian Beveer is a wonderful artist.
Using
I`m scared of the Swine Flu. D: Well, who isn`t ? ((: There`re 2 cases now ! ): The sex scandal`s starting to annoy me. |:
WOW. That guy`s AMAZING. He`s so cool !
Using
If you compared your country (or my country) with other countries such as US or even Japan. I think we shouldn’t be that panic about Swine flu
(Although I’m kind of scared, but just a bit haha) 
Using
love the site you’ve got here.
love julian beever’s art
love manny’s fight with hatton - 2 rounds, wth??! haha!

Using
kaka takot naman yung A(H1N1) na yan. waaaaaaa!
Using
yeah there are so many happenings right now. I’m kinda afraid of the virus but we just al have to be extra careful and avoid crowdy places. and hayden-katrina scandal has been on the headline for the past few days. i really hate that doctor now. Oh btw, that chalk drawings of him are so great!
Using
I’m kinda scared of that swine flu. That’s why I see to it that I don’t miss out on taking my vitamins. And I wash my hands very often. Oh, those chalk drawings are so cool. I remember when I was just 4 or 5 years old, I drew on our wall using chalks. My dad got angry after seeing human stick drawings on the wall. LOL.
Using
Grabe, ang nega ng mga news lately no?
Nakakatakot yung Swine Flu. Pero dapat pray nalang tayo and make sure healthy tayo para di tablan.
Astig nung drawings!!! Kaya lang parang makalat tignan. Haha. Oh well, sabi ko lang naman yun.
Okay na ba tita mo? Nabasa ko yung previous entry mo. Sana ok na sya.
Using
Hopefully the virus doesn’t spread in our area. The name itself already makes me anxious. lol.
The drawings are superb! That must’ve taken a lot of work tho. D:
Using
whoo! awesome shots! very eye-catching! Ü
seems like you summarized the headline news ha.. i was kinda updated since i don’t watch news tv that much! thanks for the info.. haha!
gudlak to your PC.
i think, it’s better if your PC has a UPS so that if the power fluctuates, such thing won’t happen.. like shutting itself.. whoo! that’s a total pain in the as* ..

Always Take Care sis!
Using
There have been a lot of negative things happened on our country during summer vacation. Hope each one of them gets resolved and it’s really necessary for an immediate action. Sana there won’t be an outbreak of such illness like the SARS outbreak few years ago. :/
Using
yes, this is damn scary, specially at the airport, we’ll be passing there because were going back to the Philippines, I hope everything will go normal…
I hope Ted Failon’s will be back to new casting, well I miss his awesome practices and styles in TV. ;))
Using
Hey there Tin! I’ll link ya up pala ah
haha really love your site kasi! :p hehe
grabe mga news ngayon sa Pinas noh? I really really hate about how they even took that Sex Scandal hulabaloo to the Senate. As if our country has no more important things to do.
And scary nga ang virus! All we can do are preventive measures. Drink lotsa vitamins, avoid crowded places, wash hands regularly. Ingatz ka ah!
And love that guy! Saw him at an email my mum sent. lovely!
cge tc! :p
