Twelve Days Christmas Gift

2009-12-19T12:28:00.029-05:00

On Monday, 12/14/2009, my husband gave me a sweet surprise, a very sweet twelve days Christmas Gift. I should open them one gift every day till Christmas.

I saw there was a big message on one its side, then I read it:

The Twelve Days of Christmas,
A tradition for so long;
Is used to show great love through gifts,
and written in song.
This special Christmas season,
I present these gifts to you.
To thank you for your love and care,
you show the twelve months through.
Please, choose a gift, just one each day.
Any gift will do.
Each one is special, not to share,
and chosen just for you.
And as you choose and open gifts,
Christmas will draw near.
But my love for you will not end there,
it lasts throughout the year

What a lovely message!! He asked me to open one gift that morning before I left for work, and voila!!!.... Mary Kay products I used to use. Thank you, Honey... It was very sweet Christmas gift.

I wish all of you will have wonderful Christmas. Remember, Christmas is not about what the gifts we will get from others but we should remember the greatest gift God has given us, baby Jesus who was born and died for our sins so we can be free. Amen!!!

My first Twelve Christmas Gift from beloved hubby - Mary Kay Products.

1st Gift - 12 days before Christmas: Six MK miniature perfumes.

2nd & 3rd Gifts - 11 & 10 days before Christmas: Gingerspice Wishes body lotion & Belara body powder - hmm... I like its smell.

4th Gift - 9 days before Christmas: Oil - free eye makeup remover, eye definer & makeup wallet.

Left: 5th Gift - 8 days before Christmas: a pair of Cubic Zirconia earings & necklace.

Right: 1st Christmas gift from my little daughter - she bought it with her own money at Christmas Santa's shop at her school. I remember she brought $ 3.00 in her purse and her teacher asked her what a small gift she would buy it for, and she said she would buy a ring for her Mommy. It is very very sweet Christmas gift from 5 years old child.

6th Gift - 7 days before Christmas: a pair of stylist glove and satinhands (hand cream). This is good for cold seasson.

And this morning he said that he won $ 100.00 Pennsylvania Lottery. Wow!! I said it was Christmas present for him. He smiled - then handed me $ 20.00 (he, he...) He is a cute and kind lovely hubby, isn't he?

Beautiful Knockout Roses

2009-12-13T20:53:00.014-05:00

Have you ever heard the name 'Knockout Roses'? If you love gardening and flowers, this name should be familiar for you. I have two Double Knockout Roses in my garden. I bought them online three years ago and last summer they had many beautiful roses grew as you see two photographs I attach below.

What are the special things about this flower?
Knockout Rose breeder, Bill Radler has created what many consider to be the easiest, most disease resistant rose on the market. The plants require very little attention from the gardener and will thrive in nearly all parts of the US making Knockout Roses the most popular rose in North America. Knockout Roses has four species:

1. Knockout Rose

This is the original Knockout rose, it will floor you with its amazing flower power. This powerhouse starts producing fire engine red blooms in the spring and does not let up until the first frost of Autumn. The most fool proof rose we have ever grown.

2. Double Knockout Rose

Double Knockout roses combine easy to grow, exceptional flowering power with a characteristic not often found in any rose, tolerance for shade. The fully double flowers completely cover compact plants making it perfect for a hedge or border.

3. Blushing Knocout Rose

Blushing Knockout blooms profusely from spring until fall. The shell pink flowers are dainty but will survive high heat and humidity without fail. Knockouts are perfect for hedges and a perfect companion for perennial gardens.

4. Sunny Knockout Rose

Summer seems to go on forever with the Sunny Knockout Rose. Plants begin to parade their buttery-yellow flowers in mid-spring and march right on through summers heat and into fall. A real showcase season-long color.

All those four kinds of Knockout Roses are not picky about soil types but will do better if you amend the soil with compost. For stronger plants and more vivid color fertilize in late spring and again in midsummer with fish emulsion and blood meal.

Now, with only a half of price ($ 9.98) per plant, you can get them all, or if you would like to try one kind of them, it's better you get it soon before they are sold out. Don't miss this special offer from roseknockouts.com.

You can order them with confidence. Why? Because they have some things you should know before ordering:

1. If for any reason you are not satisfied with your roses, notify them within 30 days of receiving the plants and they will either refund your money for the full cost of the plants or issue replacements, whichever you prefer.

2. Upon notice to Roseknockouts.com of dissatisfaction with the items supplied you will be required to return the items. Do not destroy or discard the plants as this will result in a return/ replacement denial. They will not issue refunds or replacements for items that customer fails to return.

3. With flat rate shipping $ 13.85 you can track your order with UPS and you can pay it through your Paypal account or visa/ master card. It's very flexible, isn't it?

So, what you are waiting for. Gave them a call at Toll Free Phone: 1-800-673-1134 or write an email to them at info@roseknockouts.com if you have any question regarding your order.

Then, as like me... soon on next summer, you will enjoy your beautiful Knockout Roses blossom in your garden.

It's Sunday and rain. I'm absent going to church. It's not because of rain but my little daughter got fever again since last Thursday night. It was the 5th times in two months. She looks much better today and it makes me so happy. She also has cough and the mucus came out a lot this morning. Yesterday my husband and I went to see her doctor and she said that she had ear infection. They cleaned her ear wax since she had it around 2-3 weeks ago when she had fever 104.8 F. I told them that I was afraid to clean it and it seemed needing a profesional help and I was right. The nurse gave special ear oil on her boths ears and sprayed them with warm water. I was so surprised seeing its wax. They said I did a good decision not to clean it by myself. Oh, thank to God, I think there was a special purpose God let her having fever again, so they could clean her ear wax and saw that she had ear infection and gave her antibiotic. She looked happy now and I'm sure she will be able going to school on Monday.

Talking about the health, the doctor said that it is the worst season for the kids. Many kids get flu. I remembered a monthly newspaper I got from her school - it gave me the tips I can use to keep my family happy and healthy this holiday season, and I think it is very useful if I will share it below.

My little daughter was playing with her toys.

Did you know that according to the National Association for Sport and Physical Education (NASPE), all kids 2 years and older should get at least 60 minutes of moderate to vigorous exercise on most. preferably all, and play. Any activity that gets your heart pumping is great such as jumping rope and dancing. Childhood obesity affects 1 out of 3 children in the US. In order to tackle this problem lets GET OUT AND PLAY, 60 MINUTES EVERY DAY!

She wants to be a Musketeer. I helped her making a special mask and she brought it to school on Halloween day last month.

Everyone can benefit from regular exercise. Kids who are active will:
- have stronger muscles and bones
- have a leaner body necaue exercise helps control body fat
- be less likely to become overweight
- decrease the risk of developing type 2 diabetes - possibly lower blood pressure and blood cholesterol levels
- have a better outlook on life (source from Kidshealth)

There are also five HEARTWARMING ideas you should know for Holidays from the American Heart Association:
1. Take a walk to see holiday decorations. Whether they're in store windows or around the neighborhood, take a tour of the brightly lit decorations in your area.
2. Go dancing. Any form of dancing is great exercise!

She likes dancing besides drawing, coloring, singing and of course - playing.

3. Make popcorn garlands for the birds. Just pop your popcorn without oil for a healthy treat for the birds as well as you.

4. Avoid holiday parking jams - park at the far end of store parking lots. Avoid the tension and frustration of searching for a close parking space. Enjoy a brisk walk and get into the store quicker than if you kept cruising the lot.

5. Take time to snuggle up with family members. You'll have a chance to share a personal moment with the ones you love as well as experience the relaxing benefits of quiet meditation. (hmm, my little daughter likes snuggling with me. I do, too especially snuggling with my husband - his skin is so warm (western man), it's opposite with mine (eastern woman), he, he...)

If you think the info above is useful, I would be happy and thank you if you would subscribe here:

2009-12-09T20:50:00.004-05:00

Hello All,

Christmas will be next two weeks again. In last three days I was busy, especially at work. Monday and Tuesday were very very busy. I was very tired and never felt like that before, so I didn't have a chance to continue posting Thanksgiving videos in last several days.

I also have started to prepare sending Christmas cards to Indonesia since yesterday, and next week it will be for family and friends in US.

Yesterday I have already gotten my first Christmas gift from my husband's patient, a pair of white christmas tree earing she made it herself. It looks very elegant. I love it. Yesterday I had already worn them when coming to Kids writing at my daughter's class. The girls said that they liked my new earing. If I have a chance, I will take a picture of them and will post for special Christmas posts next week.

Well, I won't write a lot this time. There are many things I have to do, so it's better I will start to show you three more Thanksgiving videos. Enjoy!

My husband told a scary story before the kids got their dinner.

It was pretty crowded. Everybody was hungry. The foods were so delicious. Yumm!

It's just a quick video recording him before he was enjoying his dinner.

2009-12-06T18:58:00.010-05:00

Hello All,

How have you been? This morning my little daughter and I went to church. The theme what the pastor gave in his sermon was very good, 'Turning a Good Story into a God Story'. I would love to share about this in my next post after I'm done uploading all Thanksgiving videos and pictures on my next posts.

This afternoon was my little daughter's good time. She met St. Clause at Linguine's. We bought a pizza and she got free taking a picture with him. She was so excited and happy. I will post it for special Christmas posts starting one week before Christmas.

As I mentioned at my recent post yesterday, below I've attached five more videos. You will see so many kids and family members. They are just a half of the whole my husband's family members. Can you imagine if all of them gathered together? Even right now, I still can not remember the name of them, especially some of the kids. He, he... It's better one day I will make a family tree history, either from my family's side and my husband's side. Isn't a good idea?

Well, I hope you will enjoy watching these videos.

Every child picked a feather and said, "I'm thankful for..."

My little daughter said, "I'm thankful for all my family."

Riley (I hope I'm not wrong writing her name) said, "I'm thankful for Christmas."

My big daughter said, "I'm thankful for Uncle Tony and Aunt Carole, so we all can celebrate Thanksgiving together."

Uncle Arthur said, "I'm thankful for my medicine..., for boys and girls that I've just met today and I will try to get back here next year again... and each one of you will get five dollar." (ha, ha, ... He is so funny.)

Now, although it is little late, but I'm very excited to post many videos and pictures today and for next several days step by step.

Above and below I attach three first video I took before we had Thanksgiving dinner together. As you know my husband came from big family, so don't be surprised if you will see many kids around in them. Enjoy!!!

Luxury Bags for Christmas Presents

2009-12-04T07:31:00.019-05:00

Christmas is coming soon. Do you ever think you would like to give someone a very nice and luxury bag? Even I ever thought I would buy one for myself.

If you ever think to buy one or several for yourself or christmas present for your wife, friends, coworkers, I have special info that you might like to read.

I visited eluxuryn.com this morning and 'wow'... I found many big-big discounts of luxury Louis Vuitton products there from Louis Vuitton handbags to Louis Vuitton bags. They also have other many products for women and men. For women, they have City Bags & Briefcases, Cluthches & Pouches and Wallets & Small Leather Goods. For men, they have Briefcases & Men's Bags and Wallets & Small Leather Goods. They also have luggage products, too.

As I read from their official website that eluxuryin.com was established in 2007. It provides the authentic luxurious goods and designer fashion at lower prices you have always been dreaming to get the prestigious brands such as Louis Vuitton, Chanel, Gucci, Prada, Hermes, Bally, Marc Jacobs, Miu Miu, Chloe, Yves Saint Lauren, Christian Dior and many more. They offer all these famous brands at much lower price.

They have created the privacy statement in order to demonstrate their firm commitment to privacy, use your IP address to help diagnose problems with our server, and to administer their Web site. Your IP address is used to help identify you and your shopping cart and to gather broad demographic information.

Their site uses an order form for customers to request information, products, and services. They collect visitor's contact information (like their email address) and financial information (like their account or other information). Contact information from the order form is used to send order receipts to their customers. Users may opt-out of receiving future mailings. Financial information that is collected is used to bill the user for products and services.

Their site has security measures in place to protect the loss, misuse and alteration of the information under our control. Sensitive or personal material is handled only by qualified employees and not kept in open areas of our server. Their security policies also prohibit the transfer of personal material such as account information unless you have been encypted by approved methods.

One thing you should know that they do not sell customer information to any third party. They do keep your information in our databases for such purposes as audits, customer tracking, and banking regulation and do occassionally e-mail customers about specials regarding purchases fitting their needs. If you wish to have this information removed from their databases, you can contact them. That is easy, isn't it?

Don't forget something, at eluxuryin.com will allow and encourage you to update information whenever there is a change.

Other thing that I like is the shipping fee is only $ 14.99 per order, no matter how many you purchase in the order. Your order(s) is usually shipped out in 12-48 hours and delivery by USPS. The package usually will arrive in 5-7 business days. A tracking number of the parcel will be sent to you after shipped out that you may track it online. Also returns or exchanges are permitted, provided the customer purchased the product through website and it is within 30 days of the receiving date.

How about payment? Well, this is what I like... they accept payment you make via Paypal, too besides credit card. It is cool, isn't it?

So, what you're waiting for. If you think the information above seems interesting as you're looking for, then visit eluxuryin.com, you can find the exact luxurious goods that's right for you with many big-big discount from 60% to 90%. Start your shopping now and don't wait to make a purchase! Remember, you will save a lot of money during this season.

Happy Shopping!!!!

Hi Guys, Thanksgiving is over and now we are preparing for the next big holiday of the year, Christmas.

My goal for this book will be done before Christmas, then I will prepare for the next second class for the online writing course that will be started in January 11th, 2010 for fifteen weeks. During that periode, I will prepare to write a book in Indonesian that will be used for a special class in 2011 online writing course (PMOH), and the rest of 2010 year, I will enjoy my first upcoming publsihed novel and prepare for the second novel. It will be very busy for me but this is a great challange in my upcoming special year, 2010.

In the next post I will attach some Thanksgiving pictures and videos, and now I would like to share a video of my favorite band, The Corrs.

Making Your Own Spuds McTurkey

2009-11-25T17:15:00.006-05:00

HAPPY THANKSGIVING EVERYONE!

How will your Thanksgiving be? Tomorrow we will go to New Jersey. My husband's brother and family invited us for Thanksgiving dinner. There will be many other of his families come. The children are so excited.

They would be more excited if I have time to make their Thanksgiving more fun. I found this creative and cute recipe. I am not sure I will make it for them. Tomorrow will be very busy day as I will make a dessert for Thanksgiving dinner before we left in the afternoon. If you're interested to try, I enclose its recipe below. Have fun!

These fake gobblers, whose mix-and-match features pay homage to the esteemed Mr. Potato Head, have a fine threefold effect. They busy little hands, make guests laugh, and also work together to form an endearing and zany centerpiece. Just give the kids a sack of potatoes and a plate of sliced veggies, and they'll be talking turkey in no time.

Ingredients:
- Large brown potatoes
- Toothpicks
- Assorted fresh and dried fruits, nuts, vegetables, and mini pretzel sticks and twists, for decorating
- Peanut butter
- Googly eyes (optional)

FAVORITE TRIMMINGS

Tail feathers: carrots, bell peppers, and summer squash cut into long strips
Wings: wedges of red onion, apple, or orange or lemon peel
Eyes: raisins, dried cranberries, or googly eyes
Wattle: wedge of red pepper or radish, or a dried cranberry
Beak: cashew or almond, pistachio shells, or the tip of a lemon
Feet: carrot slivers or pretzels

Instructions:

- To stand each potato upright, create a tripod by pushing three toothpicks into the bottom, leaving 1/2 inch protruding (later, you can attach feet over the toothpicks to conceal them).

- Designate the top of the potato as the head, or attach a separate, smaller potato head with toothpicks.

- Put out an assortment of fresh and dried fruits, nuts, vegetables, and pretzels. Let each child use toothpicks to attach soft items to the potato body. Attach hard items, like nuts and pretzels, with peanut butter. To add pistachio shells, cut small, curved slits into the potato and push them in. Stick on googly eyes with peanut butter.

THANK YOU FOR YOUR SUPPORT!!!

The Reviewers:

1. Cathy Mc Kittrick (MO)

Through the publishing of this book, Fida Abbott has shared her approach to American cooking through the eyes of someone fairly new to the United States. She brings forth fresh culinary ideas combined with personal tidbits that endear you to her and this ambitious effort.

2. Maria Coleman (TX)

A first look at this recipe book was a bit daunting. Maroon-brown hard cover with that crispy-but-juicy look of the turkey and all the trimmings will surely bring up your appetite. "Fabulous Leftover Turkey", really??

With so many turkey recipes out there what makes this one stand out? First, it's the creativity of the author, Fida Abbott, who smartly combine two great cultures: Indonesia, where she from, and America, where her husband from, into these recipes. The result? Ten great dishes that are easy to prepare. Second, not like others, the author also shares her story of how she came up with recipe ideas and it's background. This makes cooking more enjoyable. Third, pictures are nice. Even though they could be more attractive if they were more focussed and clearer. I personally like the setting and layout, even though in some pages margins are uneven. But it doesn't hurt much. Four, this book is for everyone. I'm vegetarian, but that doesn't mean I cannot use this recipe book. It gives me confidence to play around with non-meat ingredients.

That's what's fabulous! I definitely will recommend it to you. Can't wait for another series, Fida!

(This review can be read at Amazon.com)

3. Baikbear (PA)

Two words I can describe about this cookbook; attractive and creative. I enjoy the stories the author wrote. Photographs are great.

I hope she will publish the second book soon and keep supporting the others who are in need.

Boots for Winter

2009-11-21T21:07:00.005-05:00

Winter is identical with cold. I prefer to be warm than cold. To make my body keep warm during the winter season, I should prepare the proper clothes, jackets and shoes/ boots that are suitable for winter.

Talking about boots, I have two kinds of boots. One is special for walking or playing on the snow and another one is very casual for regular activities but I never used this before as I bought it in the end of the season last year.

Although I have had two boots already, I exactly wish someday I will have a very good and quality one. How do I know if boots that I am looking for are the ones I really want? Here, I found the best source that I would like to share with you.

UGG boots has many kinds of fashionable and cute boots for women and kids (girls). With the high quality 100% pure wool from Australia, ugg boots have attracted many fashion people, and this is what I am looking for. They are soft and comfortable with classic and elegant style, including UGG classic tall boots and UGG Classic Short boots, could bear the test of time. As for the material, the leather material, not japanned leather, is more suitable for this season and for the fashionable girls as you should know PVC is not a better choice than leather.

When I checked all the products, they are having ugg boots sale right now. All their products are on sale which is good for you to consider to look their choices. Who knows, you will find one, so hurry up, take a look soon!

More than that as the valuable customers, you deserve special services; you can track your order with 100% secure ordering, hacker safe protection, they value your privacy, quick shipping and great customer service that is availabe for live chat as help center service. It is cool, isn't it?

With those information I have read, I am sure UGG is the best choice for you to be warm and fashionable in this cold season. I would be very happy if someone would give a pair of UGG boots as my Christmas present. Who knows? Maybe St. Claus will hear my wish. I hope my wish comes true.

In August 2005, we moved from our cozy apartment to our new beautiful house. I was the only one who was very busy packing everything at our apartment and arranging everything in our new home. When move day approached, tension levels could start to rise. There was a lot to think about: packing, cleaning, furniture disassembly, rental trucks, loading, driving, and unloading. I had a lot of questions like: "How many moving boxes do I need?" or "What's the right size moving truck for me to rent?" Really, it was very big moving as I did all by myself. I even told to my husband, I don't want to move again. That was enough once time in our marriage life. I was very exhausted but happy.

Turning Hurt Into Hope

2009-11-10T17:44:00.008-05:00

Yesterday I received a book, titled 'Turning Hurt into Hope' from Nancy Dinar (pastor and christian counselor) from Indonesia who lives in South Korea as the Author if this book. It is the 4th book I got from my Cyber Friends from around the world I never met in person, after two books from Robert TS Nio from Netherlands, titled 'The Mang Ucup Code' and 'Gereja Duit vs Gereja Allah' (Money Church vs God Chuch) that I received in December 2006 and a book from Jennie S. Bev. from California (USA), titled 'Mindet Success: Menuju Kebebasan Finansial' that I received in June 2007. Either books from Robert and Jennie were as the gifts, which I had won in their contests.

In February 2009, Nancy ever asked me to review her manuscript and I accepted it gratefully as she gave a trust in me in reviewing it. Two months ago, in September 2009 it has been published by Metanoia in Jakarta (Indonesia). I was happy for her as I ever thought her book will give great blessing to every reader.

Honestly, when I read it and wrote a review, I was impressed about her own true story in her family life, especially about her dad who was healed from cancer miraclely and how God took his life through His plan when at the time she was writing this book to dedicate it to him.

Reading her book will give you the strength in facing the difficult life because there is always a hope behind everything happened in the life as long as we believe He will make His Way to every person who has given a trust in Him.

In her book, you will also find FIVE reasons why the people loose their hopes, SIX goals behind distresses, SEVEN big things God heals, and EIGHT attitudes to have a bright future.

If you're an Indonesian and interested to purchase her book online or offline, you should visit Metanoia site to find out more how you could get this book.

My special message for Nancy, I would like to thank for her effort in sending her book. It will be one of my special books collection that came from my cyber friends. Congratulations, Nancy and may God bless you and your family in serving God's mission. Amen.

A Note from the School Nurse

2009-11-05T12:38:00.005-05:00

Yesterday I got a monthly newspaper from my daughter school. One of the information I gave attention most was the note from the school nurse. I thought it would be useful if I would like to share it here.

VIRUSES

Swine Flu is the main virus that we are hearing about in the news media, but there are many viruses circulating around this time of year that can make us sick. Since many people are getting sick this time of the year with colds, sinus problems, step throut, or maybe a 'stomach bug', how do you know when you should visit the doctor and when you should just wait it out?

See your doctor right away if your child has fast and trouble breathing, bluish or gray skin, vomiting that doesn't stop, is not drinking enough, is not waking up, does not respond and does not want to be held.

Check with your doctor right away if you have trouble breathing, chest pain or pressure, dizziness, trouble thinking, vomiting that doesn't stop, flu that starts to get better but then your fever comes back or cough gets worse.

Always make sure that your child is getting plenty of fluids to avoid getting dehydrated. You can also boost your child's natural immunity with foods rich in vitamin C. Tablets of vitamin C are also very effective but make sure they also contain zinc to improve absorption. And remember germs enter the body through the nostrils and mouth/ throat so encourage our child to keep their hands off their face. It's a very effective method of germ control.

Don't forget to visit my sponsor, Moving Companies Los Angeles. They provide some services from residential moves, commercial moves and packing service with adorable and competitive prices. They also provide the moving tips in their website you can learn about. If you live in LA or the area close by and are planning to move, give it a try to visit their website to get more info, or just give them a call at 800-431-3920.

What You Need to Know about 2009 H1N1 Influenza (4)

2009-11-01T11:27:00.008-05:00

Dear All,

How was your Halloween Day? I went to work in the afternoon and my little daughter stayed at home with my hubby waiting for the kids coming for treat or trick, but they said only two kids coming because it was rain.

I hope you had lots of fun yesterday, playing with your own costume and maybe having small party with your family or friends.

Below I will continue the information I got from Pennsylvania Department of Health about 2009 H1N1 Influenza. Thank you to keep visiting this Blog and reading my posts.

WHAT ARE THE RISKS FROM 2009 H1N1 INFLUENZA VACCINE?
* A Vaccine, like any medicine, could cause a serious problem, such as a severe allergic reaction. But the risk of any vaccine causing serious harm or death is extremely small.

The virus in inactivated 2009 H1N1 vaccine has been killed, so you cannot get influenza from the vaccine.

The risk from 2009 H1N1 vaccine are expected to be similar to those from seasonal flu vaccine.

Mild Problems:
- soreness, redness, tenderness or swelling where the shot was given
- fainting (mainly adolescents)
- headache, muscle aches, fever or nausea

If these problems occur, they usually begin soon after the shot and last 1-2 days.

Severe Problems:
- Life-threatening allergic reactions to vaccines are very rare. If they do occur, it is usually within a few minutes to a few hours after the shot

- In 1976, an earlier type of swine flu vaccine was associated with cases of Guillain-Barre Syndrome (GBS). Since then flu vaccines have not been clearly linked to GBS.

What You Need to Know about 2009 H1N1 Influenza (3)

2009-10-31T12:58:00.006-04:00

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!!

What sad I am. This morning my little daughter had fever again around 100.2 degree Fahrenheit. It is the third time in one month. She is sleeping now after I gave her Tylenol. I cheked her temperature has been normal. Thanks God!

Though she will be fine this afternon, it doesn't mean I will let her do trick or treat. I'm still worried. I know she will be sad but I'm sure she will understand.

At the same time we also can not come to Family Day event which the college where our daughters go to study is holding it this afternoon. We hope next year we will come.

Now I would like to continue posting about 2009 H1N1 influenza. Thank you to everybody who still keep continuing to read this message.

WHO SHOULD NOT GET THE VACCINE AND WHO SHOULD WAIT?
* You should not get this vaccine if ou have as severe (life threatening) allergy to eggs, or to any other substance in the vaccine. Tell the person giving you the vaccine if you have any severe allergies.

Also tell them if you ever had:
- a life-threatening allergic reaction after a dose of seasonal flu vaccine
- Guillain Barre Syndrome (a severe paralytic illness also called GBS)

Those may not be reasons to avoid the vaccine, but the medical staff can help you decide.

If you are moderately or severely ill, you might be advised to wait until you recover before getting the vaccine. If you have a mild cold or other illness, there is usually no need to wait.

Pregnancy or breastfeeding are not reasons to avoid getting this vaccine.

2009 H1N1 vaccine may be given at the same tie as other vaccines, including seasonal influenza vaccine.

What You Need to Know about 2009 H1N1 Influenza (2)

2009-10-30T10:10:00.006-04:00

Hi Guys,

This early in the morning I have finished writing my novel. It surprised me when I peeped the time on my notebook screen, it was at 2.22 AM (good luck numbers for me, huh...?!). My eyes were very tired but I was very happy as I have completed my progress for this month. Next month I'll prepare to send all materials to the production team. They have waited for me little bit longer as I have been late two months from the original schedule I made before. I'm very excited.

As I mentioned yesterday that I would post the series of the information about 2009 H1N1 Influenza, I will continue to write them below. For everybody who has subscribed to this Blog, I would like to thank for attention and interest you have given. As you know this blog was created to spread the words with a simple hope, every message can give a great blessing to every reader. THANK YOU.

WHAT IS 2009 H1N1 INFLUENZA VACCINE?
* Vaccines are being made to protect against 2009 H1N1 influenza (my husband got it two days ago from the hospital where he works and I have registered my little daughter to get this vaccine at her school)

These vaccines are produced just like seasonal flu vaccines. They are expected to be as effective as seasonal flu vaccines, will not prevent 'influenza-like' illnesses caused by other viruses. They also won't prevent seasonal flu, so you should also get seasonal influenza vaccine, if recommended.

Inactivated (killed) vaccine is injected into the muscle, like the annual flu shot. A live, intranasal vaccine is also available.

Some inactivated H1N1 vaccine contains a preservative called thimerosal. While some people have suggested that it may be related to developmental problems in children. That theory has not been supported by research. Thimerosal-free vaccine is also available.

WHO SHOULD GET 2009 H1N1 INFLUENZA VACCINE AND WHEN?
* WHO - Groups recommended to receive this vaccine first are:
Pregnant women, people who live with or care for infants younger than 6 months of age, health care and emergency personnel, anyone from 6 months through 24 years of age, anyone from 25 through 64 with certain chronic medical conditions or a weakened immune system

These groups should also be vaccinated: Healthy 25-64 year olds and adults 65 and older.

* WHEN - Get vaccinated as soon as the vaccine is available! Recommendations may change if we learn that other groups of people are at particularly high risk. Some people may need two doses of vaccine.

What You Need to Know about 2009 H1N1 Influenza (1)

2009-10-29T11:10:00.011-04:00

Dear All,

Last weekend I had hard time. On Saturday and Sunday night I could not sleep at all. My little daughter had high fever, 104.8 degree Fahrenheit. Actually she had just healed two weeks ago. My eyes could not put away from her to make sure she was fine. I never stopped praying and changed the cold small towel on her forehead. She was absent in two days and yesterday on Wednesday, she had come back already to school. I thank to God she is fine now.

Yesterday when I helped Kid Writing lesson in her class, I heard from her teacher many students were absent because they were sick.

If you live whereever you are, either in USA, Europe, Asia, Australia or Africa, etc, you must be aware as you may have heard a new influenza virus, called the 2009 H1N1 influenza virus was first identified in USA in late April 2009. The virus has caused illness ranging from mild to severe, including hospitalizations and deaths in adults and children. Many children have gotten 2009 H1N1 infection and there have been large outbreaks in some schools across the country. The Centers for Disease Control and Preventions's (CDC) Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices has recommended that children and young adults aged 6 months through 24 years be vaccinated against this virus as soon as the vaccine available.

Vaccination is the best way to protect you and your child from this potentially serious disease. So, what do you know so far about this dangerous influenza??

In this post and in several upcoming posts, I will provide the important information I got from Pennsylvania Department of Health.

WHAT IS 2009 H1N1 INFLUENZA?
* It was earlier called Swine Flu, a type of flu caused by new strain of influenza virus. Because it has spread to many countries, it has been declared a pandemic influenza strain.

Like other flu viruses, it spreads from person to person through coughing, sneezing, nasal secretions, and sometimes through handling objects contaminated with the virus.

Signs of the type of this influenza can include: fatigue, chills, fever, caughing, sort throat, sneezing and muscle aches. Some poeple also have diarrhea and vomiting

Most people recover within a week but some people get pneumonia or other serious illnesses. Some people have to be hospitalized and some die.

HOW IS 2009 H1N1 DIFFERENT FROM REGULER (SEASONAL FLU)?
* Seasonal flu viruses change from year to year, but they are closely related to each other.

People who have had prior infections usually have some immunity to seasonal flu viruses.

This virus is a new virus strain. It is very different from seasonal flu viruses. Most people have little or no immunity to this new virus.
