What Have You Become After the Pandemic

The COVID-19 pandemic has probably turned the lives of most people in 360 degrees. A lot has changed since it started. We're probably not the same people we were when COVID-19 was just getting started. The pandemic has changed us into different people. We may not recognize these changes right away, but when we look back, we can see what we've become because of the COVID-19 pandemic. If there's one good thing that came out of this pandemic, it was definitely personal growth. I think we all experience it in one way or another. I'd like to say that most of us became better people. Personally, I became kinder and more understanding. Before, I used to be unkind to most people that I encountered. I thought highly about myself. I used to be so self-centered. I would say mean things about other people. I used to see things only from my own perspective. I never realized back then that we all go through different struggles in life. Some are just good at hiding them. We all have p...

Sat With Ree: Jab We'll Done

Surprisingly, I had my 2nd dose of anti-covid vaccine earlier than I was expecting. It happened last Monday, November 22. If you want to read about what happened during my first dose just click this.  I already expected a long line and a lot of people in the vaccination site, so I wasn't surprised when I got there. It was crowded. It felt like I went to school for an enrolment because there are really a lot of children there with their own chaperone.  I went there at almost two in the afternoon. The good thing is that there are designated lines for children, for those who will be having their first dose, and for second dose. There were only 3 people in the line for the second dose when I got there.  Unlike during my first dose where I didn't wait that long, this time the waiting took me three hours to get my second dose vaccine. Fortunately, there was a waiting area outside and it wasn't raining, but it was the hottest time of the day. I had my blood pressure checked befo...

‎Sat With Ree: First Dose

Last Monday, September 27, after 8526423962 years 😆 finally I got my first dose of covid-19 vaccine. When I woke up that morning, I really had no idea that I will be vaccinated that day. It was only after we had our lunch when my sister-in-law saw a post of one of our Barangay officials informing those who belong to the A5 category who wanted to get vaccinated to go to the vaccination site. My brother also told my mother that there are only a few people there, and that instantly convinced me to grab the chance and get vaccinated already.  Fortunately, when I arrived at the vaccination site I didn't have to line up to get a form because there are really only a few people there. I arrived there at almost 3:00 in the afternoon and I got vaccinated at almost 4:00. It was fast and a very smooth process and I loved that I didn't have to take a very long line.  (When I got home and saw this photo I checked on the internet the normal pulse rate of a person, and I realized that I almo...

Sat With Ree: Isang Taon Na Tayo, Agad-Agad

‎Uy. Sabado na ulit. Kaya andito na naman ako para kumuda. Ayon na nga. One year na tayo sa quarantine life, agad-agad. Who would've thought na aabot tayo ng one year? At parang mas tatagal pa dahil dumadami na naman ang bilang ng mga nag-po-positive. Parang nong nagkaroon ng vaccine nakampante na ang mga tao kaya nagsisilabasan na ata kahit walang suot na face mask at faceshield. Wag ganon.  Parang kelan lang nong tumigil ang mundo ng halos lahat ng tao sa buong mundo. Sa pagkakatanda ko March 13, 2020 nag-start ang lockdown. Friday the 13th yon diba? Night before ako matulog non akala ko sa NCR lang yong lockdown tapos paggising ko buong Pilipinas pala. Good thing is nakagala ako day before nag-lockdown. Hindi man siya totally gala kasi saglit lang din pero at least. Yon yong huli kong labas na normal pa ang outside world. Hindi pa non uso ang face mask at marami pang tao sa mall. Nakakamis. Sanay naman ako na hindi lumalabas ng bahay pero nakakamis pa rin yong may option ako na ...
