Just when you thought flu season was over.
On The News: All kindergartens and junior schools in Hong Kong have closed early for their Easter holiday, after a flu-like illness killed three children.
The Education Bureau described the move as a “precautionary measure”. More than 30 students from one school have showed flu-like symptoms and three children have died from apparently similar illnesses in recent weeks. Experts are investigating a link to either bird flu or Sars, a respiratory disease that hit Hong Kong in 2003.
But the good news is, I’ve found a medicine that can probably kill these flu virus. I bought a pack of Jelly Belly beans (assorted flavours) candy while at the cinema - watching a good suspense-thriller from Spain about a woman who discovers dark secrets hidden within her cherished childhood home, The Orphanage, where human longing meets the unknown and unknowable - just in case my immune system drops down to zero level.
While the city was far from showing the sort of panic seen during the SARS outbreak, shops reported fast sales of medical face masks and antiseptic. In the crowded subway, some people were seen wearing masks, which reminds me of the SARS days when millions of people in Hong Kong wore masks when venturing outdoors.
These little jelly beans is a good source of Vitamin C (insert: diabetic people’s favourite dessert) which is an easiest way to boost energy when feeling run-down and listless. Absolutely sweet.
Stay healthy people.

My life in this city project a lot of things - it’s all about the taxis, the billboards, the sidewalks, the cinemas, the zebra lines, the lights, the cars, the sounds, the people, the skyscrapers and the shopping malls.
Oh hey, do you watch the idol? Can you record the song that Ramiele sung during The Beatles week, yung “In My Life”. I think singsnap.com has the Bette Midler version. I thought she sang it really good, naka connect yung kanta sa akin (nax). TY in advance.

Anyways, remember Lorna? Not the actress - the Lorna who babysits most of you (from Treena, Karen, Isay, Ron) came to visit me the other day looking for (not part time) a room-for-rent. Guess what, (aside from being sexually active - she proudly said that) she asked about you, sabi ko ‘mayaman ka na dahil you are now in the States’ and showed me the wallet (Esprit) you gave her, buhay pa daw at lucky wallet daw yun. She makes tampo to Isay (ISAY: nag padala daw sya ng Xmas card, many years back, wala daw reply) syempre making patawa at ayun, si Lorna pa rin, maliit pa rin at laging conscious sa kanyang aura. Sabi ko… “nag hahanap ka ba ng room for rent para may privacy kayo ng papa mo”? Sabi nya..”pano mo alam”? Sabi ko, “ayan o, namumutla ka na”. Winter daw kasi.
Asus, miss nya kayo, just so you know.
When are you coming to visit? Malaki na sina Tobit, Soyee on the other hand are into parenting - merong yaya but you know how much she adores the kids, ang galeng mag alaga ng Nanay. I haven’t visited their new pad at Gold Coast, malayo for me (just avoiding the invitation from staying over, nakakahiya). Pero, we still hang out once in a while. When I have time to walk around I’d pick her up at the office at IFC. We miss you, Masel.
