I Tested Positive for COVID-19

Image
Let me tell you a story. I went to the swabbing center on October 19th and was told that the result will be out in 3-5 days.To be fair, it was my boss who said that but I assume it was from someone inside as well. Anyway, it was actually a very decent place. It was a sports complex turned to a testing facility and yeah simply put, you wouldn’t be afraid to get tested there. It was actually a pleasant experience.  Anyway, there have been a delay with the results because as of the moment, Red Cross pulled out from the whole equation because PhilHealth was then funding Red Cross and gracious goodness we all know what happened to PhilHealth. Or do we? It was then said that the results will be out in 5-7 days. On the 7th day mark, I got a call from a contact tracer and asked if I am (co-worker’s name) I said no. He apologized and dropped the call. One of my bosses told us that results are already available and to expect a call soon and so I waited. After about 5 co-workers posted their ...

Out of Town

Image
It’s been forever since I went out of the region. Man it felt so good. We w ent to Cavite because it was my cousin’s 2nd Birthday. It was lovely.  When we arrived we saw a butterfly and we unanimously thought it was my late grandmother welcoming us to the place.  The birthday boy and his cakes. Can I just mention that this is sort of a joint birthday because it's his older brother's birthday in a week as well so yeah that's why we got them two cakes.  cupcakes! The mixed veggies though! Also my fave! Can I just say that I love how they have decoration toothpicks! Love it.  I think the Cordon Bleu was my fave!  Me listening to the latest tita chismis while eating what must be a chicken bone or something. I fit right in. I can't remember anything from that conversation but the chicken was good.  That's all! 

Our Little Luna

Image
  I can’t express how happy I feel. June 15th, my baby Cola gave birth to two little puppies but one of them didn’t make it, sad to say. I was actually on my way to work when my mom noticed that my dog’s probably gonna give birth because there’s something poking out of the vag area. I can’t really do much besides massage the belly for quite some time because as I said, WORK. Around noon I received the bad news that the puppy didn’t make it and Cola actually didn’t care much. I kept asking my sister to check for another puppy but she was like, no more. Okay.   I came home from work and I saw Cola at the doorway and I was just comforting her for maybe 30 minutes or so and I was also low-key massaging her tummy palpating if there’s still something inside. I was so sure that I felt a head or something. Anyway, I then decided to take her on a walk and that’s when I saw the placenta coming out of her vag! And I was like, this is impossible because my mom sent me a picture of the sti...

On the Frontline

Image
Been on the frontline for almost 2 weeks now. It’s been really tough for us since as you know, the weather in the Philippines is not that great and even though we have the air conditioned inside the laboratory, I find myself sweating a lot more inside the suit. The weather is a factor because for some reason, we can’t get the laboratory temperature below 26-28C and it’s actually supposed to be at 20C. So it’s either the weather or the aircon. I’m so sorry for those who healthcare workers who have it worst. Public hospitals for example. I feel you.  First day of duty. Second Day Third Day Fourth Day Fifth Day On the fourth day, two of the former medical technologists paid us a visit and brought food! I only one of them because you know, I being her replacement and I only heard stories of the other one and yeah it was really nice seeing them both to be honest. That's all I have to say now. So far I am safe and I hope I will be safe throughout this pandemic. Mostly for my family. HAPP...

Sayonara, Hana Chan

Image
Hana is just the liveliest in my opinion. She was my favorite from the start and actually for a while but because she kind of lashed out during that costume incident with Kai, I was kind of taken aback and I thought we’re probably different when it comes to our opinions and stuff. Hana is a member of a reality show in Japan called Terrace House. She is a wrestler and that’s life BINGO I ALREADY LOVE HER MOMENT FOR ME. I super duper love wrestling when I was a kid. My dad actually thought I’d be a wrestler when I grow up. He encouraged me to be one at some point but that didn’t happen obvi. She’s a very lively soul if you ask me. Always smiling with her PINK HAIR and all. But then, today, in the afternoon, she took her own life. She was 22. It’s a sad day. Even though she’s no longer my favorite, I was very sad and so uneasy when I found out what happened to her. I couldn’t really talk about it to anyone because I’m the only person I know who watches the show. I wanted to make a post ab...

Prison Break

Image
Theodore Bagwell/Poseidon. I mean, I might have a chance of getting out, right? Let’s just talk about Prison Break a little bit. I mean, it’s good!! I like it. The medical side of it is WHACK to be honest but everything else is interesting. Dr. Sara Tancredi of all people in the show made a pregnancy test mistake. Lost my respect to her as a doctor to be honest. Damn you people. And that operation The Company did to Michael is just as unforgivable. It doesn’t look a bit real. That’s all I have to say about it for now. I watched this show for about 2 weeks and let’s just say that if I ever be in prison, I might just get myself out. Not as quick as Michael Scofield did though! He’s just genius! I don’t really have a favorite person but if I really have to choose, I’d choose FERNANDO SUCRE. He’s just ideal. Imagine having someone fight for you like Sucre did. And man, his loyalty! A thief though! But easy to like nevertheless. I also like how Alexander Mahone’s character turned out to be....

Quarantine Extension?! (TIP!)

Image
Will there be? I don’t really know but as healthcare professional, I hope so. It is the logical thing to do. We are battling against something we can’t really see so it’s the right thing to do if we want to really flatten the curve which is as we all know impossible as we haven’t even tested much people so you know, for all we know infected people are still multiplying in numbers behind our proud backs. TRAITOR.  I pity the Filipino people. I pity because they are hungry. This is Hunger Games in real life y’all. The supermarkets be the CORNUCOPIA. For real. I mean this is Hunger Games, we’re all a tribute. You know, not everyone has a sponsor and not everyone can hunt their own food because not everyone can work. We have been in this quarantine for almost a month and a half now and all my household received (around week 3) is a one week supply of rice and you know maybe a 3 day supply of food relief from the local barangay for one person. We are 5 in this family. I’m not in any way...

Still a Slytherin

Image
I’m still a Slytherin! I mean, I know I’m a Slytherin but “I WONDER” as Mr. Olivander would say. This is actually a random Facebook feature and I got this the first try. Except my wand is a Sycamore wood with a phoenix feather core 11 3/4 and surprisingly swishy. Also, I don’t think I’d get a Niffler myself. Not a fan of bonding and feeding it when playing HPHM so yeah. Because of this Quarantine, I find myself playing this game again. Yay! No? Does anyone play this still? No? Okay. So yeah I checked whether I am still a Slytherin on Pottermore. I checked and got sorted again (sneaky) and voila! Still am. I mean, what’s worst than buying a scarf merch on Wizarding World of Harry Potter and then finding out you don’t belong anymore, right? Ha! That’s all!
