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.

You're English is Better than Others

You're English is Better than Others

Reason why I say this I have a lot of friends asking for a favor from me.

I had a friend who had told me I am good in English and wanted me to check their language on their resume to see if their grammar was correct.

My friend was saying your English is better than mine and I am applying for a job. I need a favor if you can check upon it to see how I can make changes.

The funny part my friend gave it in a jpeg (picture). I had typed it in from the beginning by checking how the format is supposed to look these days.

The resume I had was old school took me two hours to type and corrects everything. My friend kept asking me if it was done. I felt I had a deadline to meet.

I had emailed back the resume to my friend in Microsoft Word.

My friend Yann had applied a job at the call center working from home. Yann was telling me she is not good enough to speak English. I was telling her based on her sample of what she gave me she speak well enough for customers to understand.

Yann just need practice to speaks well enough and not have a slang while talking. Yann was telling sometimes she cannot understand why a different dialect is a caller when they explain on the phone. 

You will come across people their dialect is deep and the way they talk is hard to hear.

I gave Yann a short cut on aberration common used when you're talking to someone to understand what letter they are letting you know.

There are times Yann feels frustrated. I keep telling her at least you have a job that pays well enough to work at home. 

I have a best friend who I keep asking to look for a job we began listing what experience she has to narrow it out what job she can apply for my way to give a push.

Sometimes you don't realize you're English is Better than Others only when they begin talking to you.

For a person who grew up in California and English being her first language it is common to keep talking even though you live in the Philippines.

I may sound slang the way I talk but people say I talk too fast. I've heard other people talk fast when I am watching videos in Facebook doing their vlog. I don't think I am alone just the way we talk seem we're in a hurry.

No matter if I live in the Philippines my English is better from all my friends. I speak English at home. Even though I may have slight slang tone in my voice I am still Americanize.
