CERVARIX helps prevent cervical cancer and precancers caused by human papillomavirus (HPV) types 16 and 18. These 2 HPV types cause 70% of cervical cancers. 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.

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!
I’ve been loving this song the first time I heard it in RX93.1!
“Endlessly”
There’s a shop down the street,
where they sell plastic rings,
for a quarter a piece, I swear it.
Yeah, I know that it’s cheap,
not like gold in your dreams,
but I hope that you’ll still wear it.
Yeah, the ink may stain my skin,
and my jeans may all be ripped.
I’m not perfect, but I swear,
I’m perfect for you.
..and there’s no guarantee,
that this will be easy.
It’s not a miracle ya need, believe me.
Yeah, I’m no angel, I’m just me,
but I will love you endlessly.
Wings aren’t what you need, you need me.
There’s a house on the hill,
with a view of the town,
and I know how you adore it.
So I’ll work everyday,
through the sun, and the rain,
until I can afford it.
Yeah, your friends may think I’m crazy,
cause they can only see,
I’m not perfect, but I swear, I’m perfect for you.
..and there’s no guarantee,
that this will be easy.
It’s not a miracle ya need, believe me.
Yeah, I’m no angel, I’m just me,
but I will love you endlessly.
Wings aren’t what you need, you need me.
(You need me, I know you need me,
you need me, I know you need me)
Ink may stain my skin,
and my jeans may all be ripped.
I’m not perfect, but I swear,

Yeah, I’m no angel, I’m just me,
but I will love you endlessly.
Wings aren’t what you need, you need me. (You know you need me)

Today, May 13, 2012, second Sunday of May and fourth Sunday of Easter, we celebrate none other than, MOTHER’S DAY!!!!
To all the mom’s out there, Happy Mother’s day! We all appreciate your love and will ever be grateful for your patience, endless care and unconditional love. You deserve to be honored!
As for our celebration of Mother’s day, I gave my mom a unique bouquet. Not the usual flowers but a Fruiquet! She loves fruits and this is a perfect gift for her. And I’m sure she loved it. ^_^
Fruiquet: Erika's Dream
We’re going to Tagaytay today as we join our extended family in celebrating Mother’s day.
Me and Mom in Shanghai, China
Thanks for you mom, without you, I would never be here on earth in the first place. I wouldn’t be the person I am today without your help. I love you! ^_^
HAPPY MOTHER’S DAY!!!
How did you spend this day with your mom?

While most people will be saying ‘Thank you‘, ‘I love you’ or even ‘I’m sorry’ to their moms on this specialday, Dove Men + Care wanted to challenge men to man up and pay tribute to theirmoms for the impact she had made in their lives.
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 @DoveMenPHand share the video! It would be nice to commemorate this day for mothers and the Real Men who love them!
