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 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.

Giving Out Christmas Gifts in November

 


In our life we think ahead by giving out our Christmas gifts earlier than expect we don’t know how we will see each other again.

Our Christmas gift may not be wrapped up in a Christmas wrapper what the counts is that the person was thinking of you when they have purchase the fruits for you.

Among my mom’s friends we think ahead and we know what they want even if we’re not able to see in person we talk on the phone to tell each other what they have given in exchange gifts.

We don’t expect the Christmas gifts to be given but we know each year the time comes we know ahead what to buy for them in our thoughtfulness we find ways to make our gifts special.

You may think it is too early to give Christmas gifts in November our time is limited and when you see someone it is best to give it away for them to eat before it expires or to give clothing to wear no matter what the reason is that you have thought for them being a part of your life.

I have also distributed my Christmas gifts to the employees and their family members just in case they plan to send their Christmas gifts to their family they can add on what I have given.

We won't be having a Christmas party due to coronavirus and the law prohibits us to have a big party in the Philippines.

For the youngster in the employees family member I just gave them chocolates that came in a box from the United States by shopping ahead in online shopping this way they their children get to taste chocolate coming from another country than local ones made in the Philippines.

I believe Christmas only comes once a year and giving a gift to each person is better than not receiving there was just a time in my life I had experience attending a Christmas party from my employer. I saw how they only gave Christmas gifts to their employee and the employee brought their whole family to attend the party.

I felt strange why the whole family can’t receive a Christmas gift.

Seeing a family member see other people opening gifts in front of them I left they we're feeling out of place.

Living in the Philippines I broke it and changed their tradition I gave every single person a gift from the spouse and their children. 

I came to the point I was called Ms. Santa Clause every year everyone receives a Christmas gift and if the single had a girlfriend or boyfriend they too had a gift coming from me.

Some employees also brought along their parents to the Christmas party and they also had received a gift from me the great feeling you get in return is gratitude what you do for them. 

Those who have nothing to give to you are alright because they can care for you in another way being supportive in the work you do.
