FYI corner – Beware!! Swine Flu!!

About 81 people had died in Mexico, due to swine flu – it is a mixture of swine, bird, and human viruses. This disease does not only occur in Mexico, but it had spread to the United States too. There are already 11 cases discovered in California, Kansas, and Texas.

What’s happening in Mexico? Mexicans stay home, bringing with them lots of food supplies and some of them are also being checked in the hospitals. People are going home to see their families and trying to be alert.

Symptoms of swine flu: fever, muscle aches, sore throat, dry coughs, vomiting, and diarrhea.

So people, like what my principal said to me and my class mates: wash your hands and try to keep your body healthy by paying attention to your hygiene too. Be careful and just hope that this disease will not spread to our area!!

In Cilacap, there was a fishing boat that carried six fishermen that was destroyed, due to the rough waves on Sunday night. Two fishermen swam back to shore but the other four were still missing.

The Cilacap Tanjung Intan Port’s Beach and Sea Security Unit had told the fishermen not to go offshore because of the high seas but many seemed to ignore them

These fishermen are really ignorant. If only they had paid attention to the Cilacap Tanjung Intan Port’s Beach and Sea Security Unit, none will be injured. What do you think?

Nadya Suleman, a mom, had given birth to eight more babies. Although, they are not just ordinary babies, they were octuplets! Suleman had already children of her own before the octuplets are born. She said she always wanted to be a mom since she was a little girl. Unfortunately, a few months before she gave birth, her husband and she got divorced. So she had to take care of the newborns all alone.

There was a couple of times when she had second thoughts about the octuplets but her dad convinced her that she should do it and he will be on her back the whole time.

I’m actually really happy for her! Not a lot of moms can give birth to octuplets. So it’s really cool for this to happen!!

Love Guru failed

Mike Myers’ Love Guru failed! It had the worst actor and worst picture of 2008 at the Razzie Awards. The Canadian actor Austin Powers thought that it was “bogus”. The movie only made US$40 million in theatres and the producer lost a whole lot of money.

I watched Love Guru and I actually thought it was really good. It was really funny and hilarious. Although, Love Guru is not the kind of movie that I want to watch over and over again like the Pink Panther, but overall, the movie wasn’t too bad at all.

For you who had already watched the movie, please answer the following question…

1. Did you think Powers was the right person for Guru Pitka?
2. Did you like the movie? Rate it!

Bus Collide-six killed

There was a bus in Egypt that crashed when their bus overturned between two Egyptian resorts in the Sinai peninsula. The bus was actually travelling from Dahab on the east coast of the peninsula, police resources said. And then there are six Russian tourists that was killed and there are seventeen more people who died. This is actually the third time this kind of accident has happened.

I think that Egyptian busses should be really more careful or else it will give an impact on how tourists look at Egypt. What do you think??
