The Year That Was 2011

New year! Okay this is one of the only worldwide holiday celebration that we can agree upon. Even if it has some pagan rituals, renovations, and innovations; we can skip that part for the sake of being in a society and unity...Oppps! No more debate here. Hahaha. Well, I also would like to take this opportunity to say sorry if I have not return your christmases greetings. I hope you understand my Biblical position on this matter. But nonetheless, you are always dear to me and I sincerely appreciate all those greetings. At least, instead of hurling to me insults or death-threats which I have had before, instead I have a flashing widgets and caroling emails this time around. 

   Now let's forget (in the meantime) the political and religious connotations of the holidays that just past us by; and allow me to list down what I considered an impact on Fher Ymas' 2011.

   First, I will not make any resolutions...for the sake of New Year. I make and decide a resolution any day of the year especially when I found myself in the position of dead-ends, realizations, repentance, and awakening. I prefer to spend the last days of 2011 reflecting...counting blessings and even remembering failures and mishaps. 

   There are images and story-lines that still lingers on my mind from 2011. The cyberspace had been a big part of it. Especially when I started the Tagged ArtLover Group's Blog in February evolving from Tagged.com to our migrations in Facebook late 2010.   

   Well, you can't have thousands of friends without creating some enemies too along the way. I even wish before that FB provide a dislike button too. Now, I think that wouldn't be necessary. You just ignore them or "unsubscribe" to their status updates. One thing I've realized was that you can't "please" everybody as well as you just can't "push" your self to like anyone. Which brings me into another eye-opener: that I should apply anesthetic before I surgically remove tumor. I have to take that lesson in 2012 or in years to come, that people held their beliefs as part of themselves, and when you challenged that faith, you are stabbing their heart. The same goes to me, I should be more understanding and patient (as well as open-minded) because one of the greatest lesson I've learned so far, is that perceptions are just product/s of personal experiences. When you understand their experience, you understand their heart.

    For 2012? I must admit I have some fears and yet a great amount of hopes too. Let us just say, the world is so tiny for the universe, so there is no problem too big that can disrupt my world. Tsunami, earthquake, flash-flood, whatever! Life will go on without me anyway, so why I should be bother. 

   This is just another New Year's Eve. And here I am blogging after sniffing a smorgasbord of fumes from firecrackers and oily foods. 

   Would I change a thing? Would I dare climb up or slide downward? Should I cut my coffee intake? Should I finish what I've started? or should I just stop this blog right now?

   Well, let's see...some dreams doesn't last but we should never stop dreaming.

   Special thanks to all who have unconditionally share their support. To those who took the time to read my post. To those who inspired me to paint as well as those who had destroyed my mood. Either way, you made the man I am now. 

   OHHH!! Before I forgot, I would like to thank those people (even strangers) who had tweet, reshare, and re-post my message during the time my daughter was missing early in January. Thanks again for your prayers! That's one of my cherished memories using the internet in 2011. 

   Well, I have taken so much of your time...till next year. (OH No! It's already another year) Let's keep in touch.

Self-Portrait, at the end of the day

I don't know what the future holds,

But I know who holds the future.

PNOY’s 2012 Time Bomb

    I think President Benigno Aquino III should be praise for his good performance in 2011 due to his serious battle against corruptions most especially in running after former President Gloria Macapagal- Arroyo’s alleged crimes during her term. The cases filed against the Arroyo’s show the presidents political will in accomplishing what he had promised during his campaign. Yet I feel, other serious issues his administrations must act upon as soon as possible are being overshadowed by the grandstanding.

  The quarreling of the Palace against the judicial system can trigger something else than what he expect. The people should see results on the impeachment case against Justice Corona or his credibility as a president will deteriorate. Another defeat against Supreme Court will carved a heavy wound against the executive branches.

   There are immediate New Year resolutions also that must be acted upon or it would serve as a time bomb against PNOY’s face next year, first of all was the Hacienda Luisita claims. Next is the Freedom of Information Bill. Then the long running debate over RH Bill.  Another is the Maguinadanao Massacre that will turn 3 next November and there are still continued killing of Media men. Another delay would make the victim’s family impatient. The Peace Talk with MILF. The Spratly Island or the West Philippine seas will determined his global prestige if this issue is being addressed too. And speaking of Spratly; is the modernization of AFP. He must also make some focus on Education which I feel are getting unhappy as days goes by, being least prioritized on his first budget entry. Those are some of the ticking time bomb that I can see next year for Aquino’s administration. I hope and pray that our dear President would be able to pass these entire tests.

   GOD blesses the Philippines. God blesses our President. 

Don't Get Tired in Helping (Typhoon Update)

The flash flood in Southern Philippine provinces that I've shared from previous blog and requested your help about a week ago still badly need your help. The death toll have reach 1,249  said Civil defense chief Benito Ramos of National Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Council. They had stop counting missing people as there are no reliable sources as to how many are really missing but he told the Arm Forces of the Philippines that death toll would continue rising as more bodies were still being retrieved from the sea off the southern island of Mindanao or found trapped beneath fallen fallen logs and mud.

   Tropical storm Sendong (international name Washi) brought heavy rains, overflowing rivers and flash floods to the southern Philippines from December 16 to 18, sweeping away whole villages built on sandbars and riverbanks.

   Recovering the bodies has been hampered by the fatigue of rescue workers who have been laboring non-stop since the storm hit, said regional disaster council chief Ana Caneda. "Even the (corpse) sniffing dogs are tired," she said.

   The southern port cities of Cagayan de Oro and Iligan bore the brunt of the disaster, and suffered most of the fatalities. More than 376,000 people were displaced by the storm and almost 55,000 are still huddled in crowded makeshift evacuation centers, the disaster council said.

The World System

"A nation can survive its fools, and even the ambitious. But it cannot survive treason from within. An enemy at the gates is less formidable, for he is known and he carries his banners openly. But the traitor moves among those within the gate freely, his sly whispers rustling through all the alleys, heard in the very halls of government itself. For the traitor appears not traitor, he speaks in the accents familiar to his victims, and he wears their face and their garments, and he appeals to the baseness that lies deep in the hearts of all men. He rots the soul of a nation, he works secretly and unknown in the night to undermine the pillars of a city, he infects the body politic so that it can no longer resist. A murderer is less to be feared." - Cicero, 42 B.C.

           Just a few decades ago the term atheism, humanism and communism was nearly a taboo in most democratic countries. Now they have become mainstream and accepted by most and if not some says, “Let it be”. Today to profess that you are an atheist is no longer oppose even by our government and sadly tolerated by church leaders. I have never imagined a time will come that even Satanism was an accepted organization or religion. Our forefather’s reliance on God is now considered outdated, unreasonable, and those that said “there is no God” are considered people with a rational and educated mind.

        A tragic reversal had occurred even within those nations founded by Christian forefathers like America and Europe. The term “In God we Trust” or “God Bless the Queen” printed on their currency are just hieroglyphs of a bygone era.

        What happened? Why would a nation established through Faith in a Creator now harbor individuals who totally denounce an existence of such being?

        The former belief that human were fashioned from the hands of God are now educating its people that we existed by mere random chance. In some universities Bible classes are now removed from its curriculum but instead educate its people to “embrace” all forms of faith or beliefs including Atheism and religious tolerance.

        Nations that are greatly bless with “milk and honey” because of its constitutional axis formed on the sovereign will of The Almighty God are now turning away on that principle and accepts other form of “gods”.  The consequences are now obvious as we hear more of separations, same sex marriages, youth offenders, rape, child molester, and the list goes on and on… since people have do away with their God, they can also forget His moral values and form their own standard.

The Prince of the Air

        Above quote from Cicero speaks of an enemy that should be greatly feared. He is the subtle predator waiting for its unaware prey. He poses as a sensible nice guy but within is a wolf ready to devour. Just who he is? Or what was it?       

        What does Paul meant when he describe the devil as “prince of the of the power of the air” in his letter to Ephesians 2:2

        Air is a substance that surrounds our planet necessary for human to live. Paul simply means that the prevailing thoughts that circulate on the general population of human-kind are controlled by “evil” men and spiritual creatures or principle. That is to say also that the popular world view is not that of God but of Satan. If you think Satan has given up two thousand years ago after Jesus prevail over death, better rethink how much you have misjudge the devil’s eagerness to dethrone God. Satan still holds his position as Prince of the Air via Educational System, Church doctrines, Political views, and Mass-Media promotions.  

        We will try to unravel what are these popular worldviews that the General Public breaths in and out in their daily lives.

        One of the most subtle concepts being injected in the world today is Unity of all Faith. This had been one of the late pope John Paul II main agenda all thru out his ministry.  

        After all who wouldn’t want world peace? Muslim embracing his Jewish brothers seems a perfect picture to watch on YouTube.

REBUILDING THE TOWER OF BABEL

        What is “Religious Tolerance” or its popular name called by churches as “Ecumenical”?

        Basically ecumenism is acceptance of other religious organization AND they believe by joining together there would be WORLD PEACE? But does God teach such concept? What was the real agenda behind The New Religion? Is it from God?

        The answer is a Big NO!!!

        Moses and eventually Joshua were told by God to totally exterminate pagan nations and said “You shall have no other god before me…” when they reach the promise land. HE also emphatically added “Never to inquire” about their god or religious practices lest they fall victim to their sin.

        Let us remember that God destroy those nations and tribes surrounding “the land of milk and honey” because of rampant pagan worships and “NATURE” worship. When people start adapting seemingly “innocent” practices from other religion; over a period of time it will cloud the true message of God’s Word.

        Just to give you an illustration: Worship of trees are long held practice of Nature worshipper or Pagan nations since ancient time, God call it an abomination  but look how they have morphed that into Christmas tree? 

 ¹Hear ye the word which the LORD speaketh unto you, O house of Israel:
 ²Thus saith the LORD, Learn not the way of the heathen, and be not dismayed at the signs of heaven; for the heathen are dismayed at them.
 ³For the customs of the people are vain: for one cutteth a tree out of the forest, the work of the hands of the workman, with the axe.
 ⁴They deck it with silver and with gold; they fasten it with nails and with hammers, that it move not.
 ⁵They are upright as the palm tree, but speak not: they must needs be borne, because they cannot go. Be not afraid of them; for they cannot do evil, neither also is it in them to do good. -- Jeremiah 10:1-5

       Did you think it was just pure coincidence? This little example is what God is trying to prevent…with acceptance of small or petty practices from paganism, next generation of people after Abraham’s children thought these are ordinances of The One True God. Christians today consider setting up Christmas tree is part of the Nativity scene. In fact, everything about Christmas (even its date) has nothing to do with God or Jesus. Almost all the detail about these traditions is pure human inventions. Actually a mixture of all kind of pagan practices. If the apostle where to live today, they would not recognized the Jesus our generation venerates.

        Feng Shui is a traditional Chinese belief whose connection goes from the credence of “Animism” or worship of all creation both living and non-living. Yet the shocking part is you see millions of Christians inquiring of these principles. It’s not unusual anymore to see an idol of Saints side by side with Buddha or Hindu god’s. Consulting horoscope, bowing to the image of a mother and child, talking to the dead, séances, etc…

        When Elijah appears before the people of Israel and challenges them he said, “If YHWH is God let Him be God, if Baal is god then let him be…” then they set up the test that the god who answer by fire shall be declared the real God. The illustration simply means that there should be no other minor or major gods. Once and for all, let us settle the issue, Elijah seems to challenge. There are two opinions prevailing that time: The worship of YHWH against Baal worship. Of course, we knew how the story ended when Elijah winning the contest and beheaded all Baal’s prophet. The response of Elijah when it comes to sin was like removing malignant tumor. It may be harsh but it was a necessary thing to do. Elijah knew that if at least one of these prophet survive, they will re-spawn and mix their faith into God’s chosen.

        Maybe you are like those Israelites during Elijah’s time, believing in their hearts that God is God but also tolerate Baal worship or even benefit from this religion. Selling idols carved by the hands? Making Christmas tree or lantern? Believing the gods of the elves called Santa Claus? Egg hunting on Easter? Accepting ashes on the foreheads on Wednesday?

        Are these Biblical teachings? I thought so too! I thought there was a woman named Veronica who wiped the face of Jesus on his march to death. From cover to cover of the Holy Scripture not a single person was named Veronica and worse of all; not even a hint of that miraculous scene where the suppose towel bore the face of Jesus.  The 3 kings? Rabbit on Resurrections? The round bread that they partake and called communion or remembering Christ last suffer? Why the first day of the week became Sabbath? Why a Holy Life is reduced to Holy Week?

        So how this teaching did came to be part of Christian ceremonies?

You happily put up with whatever anyone tells you, even if they preach a different Jesus than the one we preach, or a different kind of Spirit than the one you received, or a different kind of gospel than the one you believed.--2 Cor. 11:4

        Now, before we return to our original discussion about “World Peace”. Let us examined how the worldview changes from Reliance on God into human reasoning.   

THE COLLAPSE OF CHURCHES

        Mainstream Church has given us false information about the nature of our world. When science theories were introduced the church did not provide us with clear answers. Instead of agreeing to Copernicus scientific inquiry they hold on to Pagan sources. They harass science and reasoning instead of working with them. Now it backfires when the science was proven right and the church doctrines wrong. The people now obviously will follow those with credible resources and the church lost its appeal as time goes by.

        However, it does not mean that because most popular churches are wrong, it also mean that The Bible was wrong or faith in God is wrong. However, it does not follow also that since the popular religions are incorrect or unreliable, it also means that God or the Bible is wrong or a collection of fables. I think it is unfair to blame the Bible when it has nothing to do with their statement.  The ignorant responses of church leaders were base from the popular belief instead of the Word.

        The authority of the Holy Scriptures is being reduced to folklore because of misconceptions and ignorant responses. People easily believe educated guesses and “theory” or cuddle anything offer under its name without critical analysis. After all, to see is to believe.

        Contrary to popular assumptions that the Bible was inaccurate, and that it was an allegorical symbolism conceptualized by Ancient people to create an object of worship, so that they created a god to give meaning to their existence, the Bible was not given a fair trial.

        Non-Bible believers attack God because they got their sources from “Fake” prophets and teachers, whose only concern was to exalt them-selves or gain personal ambitions.

        Actually, more and more scientific discoveries are surfacing that affirms the correctness of the Bible than to disprove it. In the field of archeology is a good example. I have tackle most of these issues from earlier blogs and perhaps I will address more in the future.

        Now, with the deterioration of church teaching we have to look for other sources…Our fate now lies in the hands of Man. Church has not given satisfactory answers so mankind will have to solve its own problem.

NEW WORLD ORDER

Synonymous with the term New World Order are the terms one world government, global governance, and globalization. All these terms are used interchangeably and at different times to communicate to different audiences. Make no mistake - they all basically mean the same thing.

Surprisingly, even The Vatican endorses this concept. 

The Second Vatican Council (Gaudium et Spes) declared, "It is our clear duty, therefore, to strain every muscle in working for the time when all war can be completely outlawed by international consent. This goal undoubtedly requires the establishment of some universal public authority acknowledged as such by all and endowed with the power to safeguard on the behalf of all, security, regard for justice, and respect for rights. But before this hoped for authority can be set up, the highest existing international centers must devote themselves vigorously to the pursuit of better means for obtaining common security."

Pope Paul VI wrote in the Encyclical titled, POPULORUM PROGRESSIO, in a section called "Toward an Effective World Authority," Such international collaboration among the nations of the world certainly calls for institutions that will promote, coordinate and direct it, until a new juridical order is firmly established and fully ratified. We give willing and wholehearted support to those public organizations that have already joined in promoting the development of nations, and We ardently hope that they will enjoy ever growing authority. As We told the United Nations General Assembly in New York: "Your vocation is to bring not just some peoples but all peoples together as brothers. . . Who can fail to see the need and importance of thus gradually coming to the establishment of a world authority capable of taking effective action on the juridical and political planes?

The prophet Daniel described this New World Order this way.

The fourth beast shall be the fourth kingdom upon earth, which shall be diverse from all kingdoms, and shall devour the whole earth, and shall tread it down, and break it in pieces. And the ten horns out of this kingdom are ten kings that shall arise: and another shall rise after them; and he shall be diverse from the first, and he shall subdue three kings. And he shall speak great words against the most High, and shall wear out the saints of the most High, and think to change times and laws: and they shall be given into his hand until a time and times and the dividing of time. - Daniel 7:23-25

I have stated the reason why unity of all mankind is bad because the tendency to worship other god is very strong when you mingle and mix them all together.

         Real unity can only happen when Jesus Christ return. He will once and for all, end all assumptions and creative lies of religions and government. 

For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms. -- Ephesians 6:12

Because of You

Stuck in a Stairway Analysis

What would happen if you are stuck in a time bubble? You just sit there, watch the world goes...unfolding and doesn't even miss you even if you seize to exist. 

   Now I needed the pause...or the inner scrapping of the mind and heart...and I may include my soul.
  Where are we? Or better yet, what have I done so far, including those things that I did not acted upon. This could be a timely self-evaluation as a year-ender report for myself. 
   I don't miss that much...I have learned to adapt or have been force into this situation. A place in my corner...which even so enchanting to others are actually a scamp. Oh you can only blame yourself for the things you allowed to happened. Now that all of these have been scars and...
   I did it my way...and the backfiring still retaliate even if I have already asked those forgiveness. Nothing is that instant. At least, I have realized. 
   You just can't trigger an amnesia to infect your data base. Humans have no delete apps... 
   Now what are you going to do about it? Huh!
   Can i opt for now to speak later? I am so hurt...these have been accumulating from recent failures. No way to win an argument now, this is the time to restart an engine...was there ever an old engine anyway?
   I was there but the chances have been overlooked. Could you be a little serious this time around? 
   I guess tonight I will set a very deep one on one talk with my self. What is a self? It is me....
   Step back or move a little closer to truly see yourself. 
  Have I bother you reading this? I am simply talking to myself here. Crazy because I am a little unwell.

   

It's all coming back to me now...although I try as much as I can to even think about it...it is nagging and persistent...at this stage...at this moment of downcast shadows...will still there be hope?

An illumination again where I have to seek even deeper...further to the consciousness...it is my spirit.

   When even last hope was taken...was it really last hope.

   God embrace me, take me in your arms.

   I have made this day, this very ordinary day...

I cannot think of anybody else with such selfless love. I would rather follow a so called lunatic who demonstrated such love for each man and who promised that his sacrifice has prepared a place for me in heaven, than follow any other person (or other symbolic realities) who might have attained the oneness with God but neither suffered for me nor promised me a place; or follow the disbelief (in Jesus and his promised destination) of a world absorbed in self love. -- Jerly  

   "My God! My God! Why have you forsaken me?" That was the most striking utterance I've ever heard from Jesus when I've first read the Bible...at first, I thought this was a sort of hopelessness. Maybe Jesus at this state is struggling to control his "divine" nature. What if Jesus zap himself and return to be God right at that very moment?
It would be understandable being human bcoz as Medical science described that dying on the cross is the most painful way to die, they have to invent a new word to ascribe to that pain and it is called excruciating...plus the fact that Jesus was being humiliated and ridiculed...
Yes Jerly, it is a good decision to believed in Jesus bcoz no other religious figure or idea chose salvation or give grace the way Our LORD does. A little common sense lead me to trust in Him rather than anybody elses who claim "ways". If I am a fraud and expect worship and many followers later, would I rather live longer and enjoy the benefit of being Lord?
That leads me to my destination...Faith in someone who make sense. They call him lunatic but I call Him LORD!!!

HIV Contaminated Foods?

Can a person be infected with HIV if he or she ate food contaminated with HIV blood? 

   That was the first question that hit me when a friend of mine posted on her FB wall warning that a so called employee from Pepsi was caught contaminating the popular beverage with HIV positive blood. 

   A few years ago I've heard from experts that AIDS virus can not be acquired via mosquito bites. So this time the threat in question is can HIV virus survive  or even thrive on food products?

   It's easier now to make queries and seek professional answer with the help of the internet. It's just a stone throw away or let me say, just a click away! 

   Since now that I am an advocate of "Think before you click" program by GMA News TV, I am now more careful in hitting the left-click mouse most especially on controversial issue. Okay, maybe you are compel to spread the News so to warn your friends and love ones BUT please practice more caution. 

   The same rumors had happen before to Jollibee, a famous fast-food chain in the Philippines...but what is suspecting about the rumors is that it was only spreading via text messages and not in the local TV or Radio News. 

   Usually the sources are anonymous..Now asked them this? 

   Did you really saw someone actually do it? Are you there when it happen?

   Often the reply would be, "Ah-eh...I saw..actually I heard it somewhere...a friend said he saw it..."

   Like the one being circulated now against Pepsi, it even uses GMA News as source. Now I never skip that News program but where was I when it was being broadcast? 

   Just think about the effect of this malicious messages. These companies have employees and at this Holiday season the sale might go down, so the management might decide to retrench or cut down take-home pay or bonuses. Their kids might not have something to share on this season...OK I hate to say this but I have to--the employee's children will have no new clothes to wear for Christmas and even worse is a big chance that they will not share Noche Buena feast. (Even if I don't follow Christmas tradition being a "Bible" base Christian, the reason I have told from previous blogs) Anyway, it would be heart breaking to see these families with Children empty on this Holiday season or for days to come...Maybe I have over emphasize the matter but it can never be further from the truth because of falsified messages.

   The internet has given us now the same power, where a few years ago only journalist and broadcaster can exercise. 

  Now sometimes these tools are being used to spread personal motives to elevate himself or to disgrace other entity. Sometimes posting comment on wall was simply done for fun. Unintentionally spreading false information can become a fire that might bounce back to you or your family. 

   

  I think it wont hurt us a bit if we do a little effort to check our Google search engines especially if we are in doubt. In Filipino we had this saying "Maraming namamatay sa akala." (Many dies in assumption) and this are more possible now to occur because of the faster communication systems. Information is power and its opposite is misinformation...

   So, when I saw this shoutout being posted I immediate made a little research. These are serious matter and can be fatal if true. If true, I will help the message spread like wildfire. But actually at first glance, the format of the message was already malicious, maybe I can blog one of this day how to identify a false statement. 

    Don't let your shield's down or else people will "quote" you as the author of LIES. Name your sources if you are sure it will not put them in assassination list. 

    Make some references or if none, better be ready. I mean, if you don't give names of resource person, then assume the role as the source..But better be ready to stand on it.  

    OK to end all the argument with regards to PEPSI being contaminated with HIV is a hoax. It's misinterpretation of an acronym PEPSI- Post Exposure Prophylactic following Sexual Intercourse. 

   It has nothing to do with drinks, its used by medics for a course of treatment given after someone suspects he or she may have been exposed to the virus.

    

    Below is an article I found about the issue from Hoax-Slayer: 

   

Detailed Analysis
According to a series of breathless warnings that are currently flooding social media websites and are also circulating via email and text message, a worker at Pepsi has been deliberately contaminating bottles of the popular beverage with his own HIV infected blood.

However, there is not even a shred of truth to this silly story. If true, such a story would have been extensively reported by news outlets all around the world. And, of course, any potentially contaminated batches of Pepsi would have now been recalled. However, there are no credible news reports whatsoever that confirm the claims in the warning. Nor are there any recalls of Pepsi products due to potential HIV blood contamination.

In fact, the current spate of warnings is just another incarnation of a long running hoax that has falsely claimed that HIV infected blood has been added to various foodstuffs. Back in 2004, an emailed warning claimed that a man had been caught placing HIV contaminated blood in ketchup dispensers at fast food outlets. This hoax subsequently spawned several other ketchup or tomato sauce related variants in the years since. And in, 2006, another series of hoax messages wrongly claimed that a child was diagnosed with AIDS after eating contaminated take-away food prepared by a HIV positive cook who had cut his finger and bled while working in the kitchen. None of the claims outlined in any of these warning messages has ever been confirmed or supported by any credible source.

Moreover, the US based Centers for Disease Control and Prevention notes that it has never received any reports of HIV infections caused by contaminated food. The CDC also points out that a person would not become infected even if they did consume food that contained HIV infected blood:

No incident of food being contaminated with HIV-infected blood or semen has been reported to CDC. Furthermore, CDC has received no reports of HIV infection resulting from eating food, including condiments.

HIV does not live long outside the body. Even if small amounts of HIV-infected blood or semen was consumed, exposure to the air, heat from cooking, and stomach acid would destroy the virus. Therefore, there is no risk of contracting HIV from eating food.

   Thus, sending on such warnings will help no one and will achieve nothing other than clutter inboxes and social networks with even more utterly pointless nonsense. (hoax-slayer.com)

   Perhaps we should go further on how HIV is being transmitted. According to sources there are only 3 known way this could happen...and this also 

1. Blood Transmission or Transfusion

2. Unsafe Sex with an HIV positive.

3. Through birth from HIV positive mother.(70% preventable) 

  Granting there is a possibility that this story is TRUE, a person positive with HIV accidentally.cut his finger and it fell on your food. Is it dangerous?  

  HIV never  but some other diseases there is a strong possibility of tuberculosis or food poisoning. 

    Also I can assure  you will not become a vampire.
