‎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 almost reached the maximum bmp. 😁 I wasn't surprised, though, because my heart beat really fast that moment.)

My arm felt a little numb after a couple of minutes. Apart from numbness I didn't feel any more difference. Unlike those who feel sleepy after they got vaccinated, I really had a hard time sleeping that night. (Although it wasn't new to me since I always have a hard time sleeping every night.) That time was totally different, though. I slept at almost 2:00 in the morning. Then I woke up after a couple of minutes and I felt so cold. Then I fell asleep again, then I woke up at I think between 4:00 - 5:00 am still feeling cold and slightly feverish. The coldness subside after a while, but I didn't want to turn on the electric fan because I thought that once I turned it on I would feel cold again. I just endure the hot temperature and I didn't mind even if I was sweating heavily. I didn't even want to move. Then I fell asleep at almost 8:00, then woke up again after a few minutes, then I fell asleep a few minutes and then I woke up and can't sleep anymore and that's when I realized that I wasn't really feeling well and that the vaccine has already having its effects on me. 

I really didn't want to leave my bed that morning. My body felt so heavy and I just want to lay and not move. But I had to force myself to get up, or else I will only feel more sick than I really was. My body felt so heavy everytime I stand and walk. I didn't even wash my face that morning because I was afraid I will feel cold again once the water hit even just my fingertips. I also lost my appetite to eat that day, although it wasn't obvious. 😝 

I slept so early that night. I was already asleep before 11:00 pm and I really slept like a log. It's been a while since I slept like that. Through God's mercy when I woke up at around 10:00 in the morning the following day, I felt a whole lot better. Although I can feel that my arm hurt even more I was still glad that my body didn't feel heavy anymore, I wasn't feeling cold and the fever was already gone. 

That day of my vaccination I doubted if there was really something injected on me or if I had like what I saw on the news wherein the nurse just inserted the needle, but didn't release the content of the syringe because I was too focused on taking a video. But when I already felt the side effects of the vaccine, that's when I knew it wasn't just a prank. 😆 It's real. I was really vaccinated. 

They said that our second dose would be after two to three months compared to others which only take about 21-28 days. It doesn't matter. Patience is a virtue. 😀









Ciao. 😊

My Worst Job Interview Experience

I probably shared with you in the past how I struggled to find a job. I've been to a lot of job interviews. And when I say a lot, I mean a looooooooot. I couldn't count how many job interviews I attended. Whether virtually or on site. There's this one interview that goes on top of the worst interviews I attended. It was somewhere in Pasig. It was an agency. I saw the job posting online, so I sent my resume. They texted me and told me that I had an interview. So I went there. ‎  I am not used to wearing shoes with heels. So every time I attended an interview back then, I always left the house wearing flat shoes. I just bring with me other shoes with heels. Then I'll change before the interview when I'm already near the area. But when I had this interview, one of the soles detached from the flat that I was wearing. I was feeling it before I rode the bus, then it fell off when I was already inside the bus. So I had to wear the shoes with high heels that I brought. The

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 before

Sat With Ree: Westlife The Twenty Tour

Tell me you're a 90's kid without telling me that you're a 90's kid.  So, I say a little prayer  And hope my dreams will take me there  Where the skies are blue  To see you once again, my love  Overseas, from coast to coast  To find a place I love the most  Where the fields are green  To see you once again  My love Taas ang dalawang paa nong mga napakanta. Yieeeeeeee. If you know the song you definitely had an amazing childhood. Natatandaan ko nong bata pa ako nanghihiram pa kami ng VCD ng Westlife don sa tiyohin namin na kapitbahay lang namin. Ang laman ng VCD syempre music video ng Westlife. Tapos yong pinsan ko tili ng tili tuwing nanunuod lalo na kapag si Nicky yong pinapakita. Crush na crush niya kasi noon si Nicky. Tapos ang bet ko noon si Mark. Ang kukulit kasi nila don sa mga music videos nila. Tapos kapag Saturday sa Channel 5 (hindi ko alam kung anong name nong channel basta Channel 5 siya sa amin) music video yong mga pinapalabas. Kasama don yong 'Bop Bop
