answering the calls

i really wanted to put some pictures of pigs, i really did but i couldn't do it. so i posted a clip of White Lies instead. i love the faster version of Farewell to the Fairground more than the one on their album. the other song is From the Stars, in case any of you can't read the words written on the screen.

pigs are the center of my attention right now.

it feels like only moments ago that i knew that pigs' organs are similar to humans and that's why they're trying to create/have created genetically-superior pigs so that their organs can be used in human bodies. yes,  i know. for all the bragging and boasting about my intelligence, it seems i didn't know what most people have already known. but hey, life is a learning process.

this swine flu is heartbreaking. and i admit, i didn't know before that pigs are called swine too because all this time, i thought that only hogs are called swine. but then, what was i thinking? hogs and pigs are the same thing. i'm ashamed of myself.

oh yes,  it's a call to broaden my vocabulary.

anyway, this swine flu outbreak is really mind-boggling. they say that the flu is not a global pandemic and yet more than 4 countries (until now) have reported possible swine flu cases. and what's more worrying (to me anyway), apart from Mexico that has reported 80-plus suspected deaths, all of the other cases in other countries are mild cases with 20-something people are recovering easily from the flu (how can they be sure that's swine flu? it looks like ordinary flu to me). they (the people who are related to this shit- WHO, the US, Mexico and whoeveryous) still can't decide whether the flu spreads easily or how the flu infects people. i heard from the news last night that the people who don't have any contact with anything swine-like or anyone who's infected with the disease might get affected too. so, can i assume that the disease is spread through air? this hush-hush is getting on my nerves and i'm afraid that if they don't come up with anything soon, it might be too late to do anything. 

God, i hope it's not as serious as i think. 

in the meantime, cut down your meat intake and wash your hands regularly. if you have any flu-like symptoms, take medication immediately. drink lots of water and go to the hospital immediately if you think your flu/fever is getting worse. that's all i can say. chewah. rasa macam doktor pulak.

MIND YOUR HEALTH, PEOPLE!
