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.

Birthday for Love Ones

Although you are in heaven we still celebrate your birthday because we wish you are here on this special day. Yesterday it was my Lola’s birthday she would have been one hundred plus years old. We would always cook pancit to feed everyone in the house. To us even if she is not with us in our spirit and memories remain with us. There are some people who celebrate their love ones when they have already left us. We set a prayer gather with family and friends. We light up a candle to enlighten their spirits to wish them a happy birthday. We visit their grave site and bring food and flowers to have a picnic and talk to them with our family and friends. This way even if they are not next to us we still get to spend time with each other. This is how we show how much we love and gratitude our loves ones mean to us.
