Protect yourself and your loved ones - get vaccinated!

Carmina went to do her two weeks grocery on March 25, 2025, at Landers Balintawak branch.

Carmina called up Becky asking if she is interested remembered to look out for the flu shot. Becky said yes and asked her to give me full name, birthdate and phone number contact information. Carmina also called up Mom Violy said alright and still faraway to decide.  Carmina felt Mom Violy should get the flu shot since we'll be traveling to California upcoming vacation.

Hospital


The life staying in a hospital bed is hard work when a love one is also in the same position who is also not feeling well.

As she sees her husband having a difficult time coughing away. She feels the pain in her heart without telling anyone what she is going through. She worries for him. She doesn't care if she hasn't eaten just to supplement the easiness of her husband while he is on the hospital bed.

I saw this yesterday when my parent in-law was in the hospital the hardship someone does for their other half.

The life when you are sick, but you can't show the desperate feeling and feeling sorrow in your heart.

I realized staying in the hospital is not a good sight. The difference based on the service on the hospital in the Philippines compared to the one when I grew up in the States.

I realized how it is difficult to stay in a hospital just for hours watching and helping out.

The sacrifices people make and the feeling watching them eat the food from the hospital pretending the food taste so good. When in reality they have no choice and they need to eat it so they will be able to be release.

As my parent in-law keeps offering me food. I didn't feel like eating no appetite as I see other people suffering inside.

I just sat down looking at my phone just to kill the hours seating across the air conditioner.

Helping out buying food that is needed or request from the patient and we find out later he is not allowed to eat outside food.

When I came home and woke up the next day I caught the virus that was spread in the room.

As we get older our body cannot cope with the virus and we tend to get sick easily. It is not the same when we are young we can remove that bug away.
