One Thing by One Direction

[LIAM PAYNE:]
I’ve tried playing it cool
But when I’m looking at you
I can’t ever be brave
‘Cause you make my heart race

[HARRY STYLES:]
Shot me out of the sky
You’re my kryptonite
You keep making me weak
Yeah, frozen and can’t breathe

[ZAYN MALIK:]
Something’s gotta give now
Cause I’m dying just to make you see
That I need you here with me now
Cause you’ve got that one thing

[EVERYONE:]
So get out, get out, get out of my head
And fall into my arms instead
I don’t, I don’t, don’t know what it is
But I need that one thing
And you’ve got that one thing

[NIALL HORAN:]
Now I’m climbing the walls
But you don’t notice at all
That I’m going out of my mind
All day and all night

[LOUIS TOMLINSON & ZAYN MALIK IN BACKGROUND:]
Somethings’ gotta give now
Cause I’m dying just to know your name
And I need you here with me now
Cause you’ve got that one thing

So get out, get out, get out of my head
And fall into my arms instead
I don’t, I don’t, don’t know what it is
But I need that one thing

[EVERYONE:]
Get out, get out, get out of my mind
And come on, come into my life
I don’t, I don’t, don’t know what it is
But I need that one thing
And you’ve got that one thing

[EVERYONE:]
Woah (Clapping)

[HARRY STYLES:]
You’ve got that one thing

[LIAM PAYNE:]
Get out, get out, get out of my head
And fall into my arms instead

So get out, get out, get out of my head
And fall into my arms instead
I don’t, I don’t, don’t know what it is

CERVARIX is a vaccine for girls and young women between the ages of 9 and 25. It does not prevent disease due to all HPV types and is not a treatment for cervical cancer.

 

A month ago, there was a wellness fair in the company. Since we were advised that all the expenses from the fair can be reimbursed, we of course grabbed the opportunity. One of the services I availed was the discounted price of Cervarix or commonly known as the HPV vaccine. Nowadays, we never know what virus can hit us. We might think that it’s just a small thing and then eventually may lead to something we don’t really want. As every doctor say, “prevention is always better than cure”, I didn’t hesitate to get this vaccine.

plaster that was used during my first dose of HPV vaccine

I’ve got freebies availing the vaccine like the ball pen with Laban Ni Maria logo.

The “Laban Ni Maria” is an awareness campaign by the late Francis M.’s wife and daughter, Pia and Maxene Magalona. They already launched it a year ago and I believe a number of women like me already had this vaccine. This vaccine required 3 shots with 0-1-6 month gap. Since I got my first shot last February, I had my second one last March. The third shot would be in August being the 6th month from the first shot I made. I also learned that if you miss one month, you have to do it all over again. So it is important that you take note and schedule your vaccine shot wisely so you won’t be able to waste money doing it all over again.

Lately, I’ve been hearing in the radio that actress and idol Anne Curtis is also endorsing this product as “No Excuses” having “X” as the vaccine’s logo. Here’s the video:

I think I already had a couple of shots since HS years offered by the school up until nowadays offered by my employers. Hopefully, I won’t be getting any serious illness as I age. I still want to enjoy life.

Do you think it’s worth it to invest in vaccines like this? Share me your thoughts! :)

While the “Kikay Barkada” always makes me laugh and undoubtedly makes my morning a light and good one, that day was different. As shown in the video, last Thursday was one of the heart warming episodes of the trio. Seriously, I was teary eyed while listening to the entries and most especially when Chico and Gino accepted the challenge.

If you find it challenging enough for you or your friends, do share your own #MomYouWereRight messages to @DoveMenPH and share the video! It would be nice to commemorate this day for mothers and the Real Men who love them!

Movie Synopsis
Nick Fury of S.H.I.E.L.D. brings together a team of super humans to form The Avengers to help save the Earth from Loki and his army.

 

Moral Lesson
Teamwork will lead you to success

Orders are meant to be followed

Do not underestimate the power of Hulk! =))

 

My Reaction

Imagine Marvel heroes in one movie?! I love it!! ^___^

This action packed movie makes you want to be a super hero too! Besides the awesome casts, I like the graphics as well as their witty lines. The whole assembly and decision making scene made me realize that even though they are ‘heroes’, they are all but human too. I like how Agent Phil does his job well. He was the instrument, the turning point of the the Avengers to fight for the safety of the Earth from Loki. From then, they were united and gave all their strength to fight Odin’s son. In the end, they win.

Better check out how Hulk made me laugh big time! =))

This is one of the movies you would want to watch again and again and again.

 

How did you find the movie?

Movie Synopsis

Moral Lesson
Learn to be humble.

My Reaction
It was a great movie! I really didn’t know about battleships and all that but I enjoyed the movie. The alien’s ships looks like the transformers! The graphics were good. The story of the brother’s (Hopper) closeness was admirable. I was touched how the older brother loves his younger brother and really looks after him.

On the other hand, it was nice seeing Rihanna play a navy’s role. I never thought she can act as good as her singing voice. Her acting was not bad at all. Good job! :)

There were collaboration between different nationalities and how they united as a team to fight the enemy. Their unity and braveness made them win the battle. It was also nice to see the old/retired navy helped them in their battle.

All in all, I think the boys would love the movie more than the girls. But it’s really good. You better wait until the end of the credits. ^_^
