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.

The Bad Girl Image


When you have known someone for a long time and you end up talking to your friend you notice some thing really bad from her as she became the bad girl who rebels in front of you she start smoking as you know she is not the type of person who use to do it before.

She has always told you that she hated people smoking in front of you knowing it is unhealthy for you.

I was happy to see my friend, but when I saw a bad image of my friend it made me realize during the time I have lost contact from her made me realize someone can really change when you are not at their site.

My image came to my mind when we use to be teenagers and our parents always warn us stuff we shouldn’t do if we get influence from our friends. Always say, NO.

This is what I saw from my friend. I said, smoking is bad for your health and it will add wrinkles to your face. I thought you hate having wrinkles.

As she kept smoking at my face I was irritated because it wasn’t the friend I knew. I saw a different bad girl image from my friend who just kept puffing away not realizing what a bad smell it would make. She was next to another person who weren’t smoking like me. I told her you are killing us from second hand smoking like you don’t care who can die first.

Even when we are older and reach a point being matured but when we hang out with the wrong friends we get easily influence to do bad things and not realizing because we have so many problems.

I told my friend even if you have problems why will you start smoking does it solve anything. It doesn’t solve anything it just give you bad health and you can die of lung cancer if you continue to smoke. I couldn’t understand her solution in her life choices.

I told my friend I don’t want you to die and I love you but what you are doing is all for the wrong reasons there are other things to do to solve your problems but smoking and drinking is not one of it to solve any solution. Your problem can get bigger especially if you have a companion at your side you can get pregnant and it would add another problem.

I feel like I have a teenager daughter when this person is like a younger sister to me.

Finally, she had stopped after I kept complaining at her face realizing I was right.

She had promise me she will stop smoking.
