Third DLSU student has been found with A(H1N1)

1. MANILA, Philippines – The Department of Health (DoH) confirmed a third case of Influenza A(H1N1) infection at the De La Salle University in Manila, where over 1,000 faculty and students were placed under home quarantine to stop the spread of the disease.

The new case, a 17-year-old male, could not recall whether or not he had contact with two Japanese students who tested positive for the disease, Health Secretary Francisco Duque said Friday.

Aside from the new case at DLSU, the DoH confirmed three more A(H1N1) cases, all of whom came from the United States, bringing to 33 the total number of A(H1N1) cases in the country.

Classes at DLSU were suspended for 10 days earlier this week after a female Japanese exchange student was confirmed infected with the potentially deadly flu virus.

3. Two universities in Manila have deferred the opening of classes next week to make sure that their faculty members and students are free of the influenza A(H1N1) virus.

Advisories from the University of Santo Tomas (UST) and Far Eastern University (FEU) said they are deferring the opening of classes to June 15 and June 17, respectively, due to the A(H1N1) scare.

"As a precautionary measure against influenza A (H1N1) and in order to allow students, support staff, faculty members and administrators who arrived from travel abroad to voluntary quarantine, the University of Santo Tomas defers the opening of classes...," Father Isidro Abano, UST's secretary-general, said in the advisory.

Think Twice

Which college will I choose?, What course would I take in college?, what college offers this(your desired course) course?, what course is this?

On my own opinion it does not really matter what college you were into, but lets face the fact that there are companies who would prefer graduates from the popular schools Such as: Ateneo, De La Salle, UST, UP, etc. it's a BIG plus points for them if you graduate in their preferred colleges.

It really does not matter what college you choose, if you excel in your studies, if you show your effort just to get the job you desire, if you are good in dealing with other people, you are active, you work very neat, why would not the company hire you. its your choice on what college you like choose, whether you are loyal to your school(if they have college), or green/blue blooded family, or you like to enroll on your dream school.

It's your own choice on what course you like to take, here are some of the Dos & Don't

Don't

- Don't just randomly pick your course

- Don't just get that course because that is the most in-demand course

- Don't just get the course because all of your classmate or your friends (peer pressure) took that course.

D0s

- Read each description of every course

- Analyze and see if the course really fits you

> if you like the course

> if you like the subject matter(sometimes your favorite subject would help you in selecting a course since you enjoy doing that subject).

Is it your passion or just a hobby? That makes the different, if it's your passion you will love your course and will excel on it, if it's only a hobby you might get bored with it in the long run or you might not be interested in it anymore. Think twice before you pick your course...

What they offer

DLSU, ADMU, UP, UST & Other Colleges

Happy or Not???

Are you enjoying your job?
or are you among the others who does not enjoy or like their job???


happy or not

There are a lot of people who are not happy with their job, or shall I say who does not enjoy doing their routine(job); they are just doing their job because that is related to the course they got in college, which a lot of us think that this course (course that you take) can give you good career or lead you to a successful life, others may think that "I enrolled in this course, because this is the demand in this generation, and also others are taking the course just because their parents want that course for them. parents want their children to be like them or parents want his/her child to do business with them under one corporation or business.

Not all dreams will come true, you always dream to be someone, someone that you want to be in the future(i.e. doctor, lawyer, etc.), but the question there is: is it your passion?, do you think you'll enjoy in that career?, will you have fun in the specific field you are taking? these are some questions you should consider before you choose a specific course that you will be taking in college. because what you take will dictate your future. choose your career carefully, so that you won't regret in the future.
