The entire day I have been thinking what to blog.
Then seeing at cnn.com, I was reminded that the world is celebrating World's AIDS day.
"Celebrating" may not be appropriate word to use.

But what will you use?

Two days ago, my friend, diana offered me her tickets of mtv concert to be held today in Fort grounds.
But unfortunately I have to drive from Alabang to Libis to get the tickets..
Naah, I decided no. "sayang pero lau nya eh!"

The concert is for world AIDS day too..
another way of promoting to use trust/ frenzy condoms
and another way to party all night.

But behind all the fun, serious HIV is exponentially increasing.
If we are afraid of Bird Flu - - Which can be fought by Tamiflu,
HIV is by far more terrifying. No cure friend!
Actually other diseases like coronary heart failure, cancer etc are equally serious in terms of eliminating primates. So, why bother highlighting this disease.

Because the top way to get AIDS is by having sex with HIV carrier person.
The pleasure of having sex is now pushed to denouement.
Orgasm and wonderful experience exchanged for the fluid of poison.
A seemed to be elixir now an extinguisher of breath.

I am reading "Maya" by Jostein Gaarder.
One of the character, a biologist John Spooke made observation when he was on the way to Taveuni an island on the Pacific near Australia.

The Island was once habitat for bats only.
And when Western settlers came to convert the lands to plantations, they introduced other
mammals to control the indigenous animals thus creating more complex ecosystem.
The bats eat rats, the bats may be eaten by monkey and may be eaten by tiger then eaten by alligator, then eaten by bacteria when it dies, eaten by plankton then eaten by fish which is eaten by frogs then eaten by rats and the cycle continue.

But interestingly new breed of species arise. Virus!
This not only re-arranges the food chain because virus isnt simply a predator but a parasite!
A parasite that cannot live on dead host.
Med majors may correct me on this but as far as i know, they cant!

So came on new era, HIV, ebola, and Bird flu.. new strain of virus that maybe a work of GOD
or a product of mutation caused by human's activities.

Whatever it is.. when we get infected.. we die!

"It takes billion of years to create a human being. And it takes only a few seconds to die"

let's be safe.. and so I say..
