Protect yourself and your loved ones - get vaccinated!

Carmina went to do her two weeks grocery on March 25, 2025, at Landers Balintawak branch. Upon entering the store near the pharmacy there was a sign posted saying to register for vaccines that will be held on April 12, 2025. 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. Two years ago, when we went to California got sick and that time it was covid season. I just wanted to protect myself even though hardly get sick in the Philippines. Two days before our flu vaccine received a SMS on our mobile phone number to confirm if we are going to get our flu shot. I had responded said yes. One day before I had message Becky if she had received her confirmation on her flu s...

New Friend

Every time my mom goes out she runs into meeting someone new and becomes her new Facebook friend. We stayed hours in the grocery store as they share their stories in getting to know each other.

As they kept saying it is already late they still keeping talking and the more they didn't want to separate from each other.

They are almost the same age range and her new friend also uses to work in California so they really have something in common to talk about.

They are both retired and they share the same interest with ballroom dancing. She was telling us that she hires a dance instructor and it is one of favorite hobby.

I was telling her to invite my mom along so they can be new close friends to pull her away and find something new or a hobby she use to do, but had stopped because her cousin had passed away.

The funny part they have a Facebook account, but they don't know how to add for a friend's request. I was their personal assistances and took over both of their Facebook accounts on their phone.

Finally, they are considering Facebook friends.

As you get older some people don't know how to ask for friend's request and they feel incapable to rely upon someone else to do it for them.

I don't mind helping someone who asks for help.

As I was talking to the new friend of my mom I realized we had shared the same experiences living with in-law. I really know I am not alone, but everyone's atmosphere can be crueler than others. It is always best to tell them how you feel and not let them walk away hurting your feelings. Let them hear you out even if you feel you will hurt them more.

The new friend had told me it is better to just put it one ear and let it pass the other ear. Just don't mind them and always talk how you feel. No matter what the more you keep to yourself you will just stress out and won't solve anything.

Always be tough and one day who knows they may change and if they don’t change at least you have become stronger to put up with all they say to you.

The funny thing I learned from her she said, if your boss is cruel to you tell them it is not a part of being cruel from receiving a paycheck from them. They should learn to be nice to you. Sometimes God is testing you to see if you can handle the hardship to change the person whom you’re working for to make a change out of them.

She said, it is better to ask for help from God than someone else. He can guide you better and help you when you talk to him.

Some people talk to God for a reason not just when they need help. But to guide them when they are need for help.

God will not listen to you when you lecture people below you and when you go to church they go back to their old self and lecture the people below them.

I have someone here at the house who has told me why I don’t go to church. I was telling her I don’t go to church because I see you going every day. You don’t do what you have promised God. You are cruel to the people you work for you say bad stuff that hurts them from the bottom that those people feel less of themselves. Sometimes those people lose self esteem when you lower their pride.

Every time you go to church and always say you will do better do you really do what you have promised?

Some people go to church just to meet new set of friends and to dress up.

I want to go to church to pray and not do what other people are doing and I seem to get distracted from those people.

People say you can just pray at your own home watching on television at least no one is distracting you.

I believe God is just testing us to see if we can handle the challenges in our life. There is always something better out there for us. Just that we haven’t found it yet. Or what you can say a hidden treasure.
