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...
There are some people not only young who are feeling restless at
home when you are living in the Philippines and being unable to do normal
routine in your daily life you begin to feel helpless. Those who are feeling
that way are the elderly people who are use to going out to get some fresh air
and walk around to the market to see faces in front of them and gather together
just to do small talk.
What happens like times like this when you're prohibited to go out
because of your age?
I was talking to my mom the other day and she was telling me how
people her age who are not use to staying home want to commit suicide or they
feel they will die early because they are not capable to go out and see the
world.
They feel life was easier for them if they follow and reach to
heaven because there is no covid-19 there and they would be at peace with no
more worries.
I asked, my mom if she had ever felt that way and she said at their
age they feel lonely especially if they have no companionship.
I realize not only people who are elderly who gets affected being
lonely it is also people who have no relationship with anyone who wants to feel
like someone is there for them.
Sometimes when we stay home and we are not use to it in our brain
we start making up stories or we start to feel moody because you see the same
surroundings from waking up in the morning and until the day ends you are so
bored.
This is the time we need to reach out to the elderly people to see
if they are okay and to keep in touch with them because you never know what a
call can do for a person at their age they need someone to talk to share their
stories in which they are use to doing outside when they go shopping to buy
their daily needs.
There are some elderly people are not high technology people who
live in their own generation where everything is done by hand.
I realized when we stay at home yes I too get restless because I
too want to go out and I am not the age who are not allowed to go out but when
you have family of your own you need to set a good example so staying fully at
home proves to who you are and what guideless you are giving to those who are
staying home with you.
Just like anyone else we get mood swings as we see other people able
to go out in other countries you start to envy them but in no doubt you worried
for them because they are not staying home just how you are.
