Dengue Hemorrhagic Fever (DHF) is a more

children. Symptoms of bleeding usually occur after 3-5
days of fever.
Dengue is spread by the bite of an infected
mosquito Aedes aegypti, a day biting mosquito which
lays eggs in clear and stagnant water found in flower
vases, cans, rain barrels, old rubber tires, etc. The
adult mosquitoes rest in dark places of the house.
11. The mosquito gets the virus by
biting the infected persons mostly
during daytime. The first symptoms of
the disease occur about 5-7 days after
an infected bite. There is no way to tell

virus. People, especially children must
protect themselves from mosquito
bites.

38. Junk Foods: To Eat or Not to Eat
Lea E. Basquinas
Junk food is unhealthy. That is
not new to us. It’s greasy, fatty, and if
eaten regularly, definitely wont help
anyone to be healthy.
However, as unhealthy as it may
seem, it is still one of those temptations
that seem hard to say no to. But If you
want to stick to a healthy lifestyle, then
eating junkfood is none of the choices.
39. Make your body always
healthy. Stop eating junk food
because there are no vitamins
in it. It can never help you
maintain a good and healthy
body.
Instead of eating junk
foods, there are lots of
nutritious food that can help
your body become healthier.
These foods can make us
healthy.
40. Ask yourself this,
“Will I let junk food tempt me or
not?” Well, it is our choice.

with the health you have been
taking care of.

When out of nowhere came screeching
A speeding vehicle was approaching

Bumped motorcycle in just a snap
Caught in the spokes,she lost her snout

A hero she is, standing in our midst
A true hero, so valiant, bold and brave.
