| Purple Plum Fairy got her vaccine against COVID-19 for free from the QC LGU |
Things must’ve been pretty daunting and difficult for most of us. I had a few friends who had experienced mental breakdowns and depressive episodes due to what seemed to be endless community quarantine. Worse, we hear friends or people we know pass away due to Covid or other debilitating diseases. Others were retrenched from their jobs while a few others had to struggle with half of what they were supposed to receive as compensation—as they say, it’s better to be gaining something rather than not to be gaining anything at all. During this trying times, practicality is what we need. My husband works as a frontliner and there isn't everyday that I worry about him, his overall health and well-being. But there isn't anything I can do about it. I just pray hard that he will always be negative each week he gets swabbed for antigen test.
How are you coping with the pandemic? I just got my final
dose of Sinovac vaccine courtesy of the Quezon City local government as part of
those A3 category (those with comorbidity) since I have diabetes and
hypertension. Originally, I had registered in three different cities since I
wanted to take a chance and I thought, whichever comes first, there will I go
and get my vaccine. I had registered in the City of Manila (since workplace is
within the area), in Las Pinas (because my husband hails from there and that’s where
we were supposed to live) and back home (in Quezon City) even if I am now
living in Bacoor Cavite since January 2021 (after I have gotten married and
chose to live on our own). I ended up having my vaccines done in my beloved “city
of the stars” because I was enlisted in our barangay.
