Travel_SM MOA Arena Swab Testing Facility

Just got out from the quarantine facility last 8AUG20 Saturday and I need to have my re-swabbing test to confirm that I am no longer a threat to the health of my loved ones.

So here I am sharing with you guys my travel to the facility last 10AUG20 Monday.

 SM MOA Swabbing Facility

- This is FREE of charge. 

1. Secure a number ID at Red Cross website- https://e-cif.redcross.org.ph/#

I know it will be a bit confusing since it has this "Arriving-Passengers" on the page however disregard that note, scroll down and fill-in needed Infos for you to secure your Number ID before heading to SM MOA Arena. There is a separate line for those who already have an ID for swab testing

2. Print and Present your number ID upon entry. 

3. Fall in line and wait for your turn for swab testing.

4. The nurse on the facility will be asking for your Red Cross number ID and your valid ID.

5. After swabbing has been done, they will provide you a control number that you can check online for your result after 3 to 5 days on this link- redcross.com.ph/track

You will also receive certification via email on the address you registered with them. 

Walk-ins are permitted however there will be a very long queue before you reach your turn for swab testing.

1. You need to fill in Infos being asked on the paper given by PNP on the area.

2. You have to secure the Red Cross number ID on a different line before reaching another line for the actual swab testing.

3. The nurse on the facility will be asking for your Red Cross number ID and your valid ID.

4. After swabbing has been done, they will provide you a control number that you can check online for your result after 3 to 5 days on this link- redcross.com.ph/track

You will receive certification via email on the address you registered with them. 

Hope this helps😊

NCOV19_MECQ

Since the rise in number of  NCOV19 cases, PH Government decided to return the entire Metro Manila to MECQ Modified Enchance Community Quarantine.

Hopefully this will help in lowering down NCOV19 cases.

Under MECQ, any person below 21 years old and those who are 60 and above are required to stay home, except when obtaining essential goods and services or reporting to work in permitted industries. Those who will travel to work should prepare their company identification cards.

NCOV19_Wear a Mask in Public

From Michael Allen Facebook Page

When I wear a mask in public:

🔵 I want you to know that I am educated enough to know that I could be asymptomatic and still give you the virus.

🔵 No, I don’t “live in fear” of the virus; I just want to be part of the solution, not the problem.

🔵 I don’t feel like the “government is controlling me;” I feel like I’m being a contributing adult to society and I want to teach others the same.

🔵 The world doesn’t revolve around me. It’s not all about me and my comfort.

🔵 If we all could live with other people's considerations in mind, this whole world would be a much better place.

🔵 Wearing a mask doesn’t make me weak, scared, stupid, or even “controlled.” It makes me considerate.

🔵 When you think about how you look, how uncomfortable it is, or what others think of you, just imagine someone close to you - a child, a father, a mother, grandparent, aunt, or uncle - choking on a respirator, alone without you or any family member allowed at the bedside.

🔵 Ask yourself if you could have sucked it up a little for them.

NCOV19_Bagal nang LGU

Sobra😔😔😔

Isa pang reason kung bakit tumataas ang bilang is because sa bagal din nang response nang LGU sa mga nag-declared nang NCOV19 Positive.

Nag declared today na NCOV Positive 7JULY20 den na tegi na yung NCOV Positive same day declaration. Tas syempre yun mga na exposed nakakalabas pa nang bahay.

Then yung LGU nang Valenzuela nag conduct nang swab testing 17JULY20. Saka lang sila nag sabi na bawal lumabas dun sa family. So within 07JULY UNTIL 17JULY nakagala na yung mga may direct contact di ba?

Tas today lang ni release yung swab result like after 10days. So may mga nag Positive na dun sa mga na-exposed. Though may iilan na nag negative na carry-on na nang immune system nila yung virus.

In short carrier na sila. And they still need to do another quarantine.....

I am NCOV19 Positive

My last picture was taken from Vista Mall Cinema 2nd Floor
14JULY20 Tuesday

As for what I am so scared to face and accept, the results came in today from the RITM Research Institute for Tropical Medicine and it scares me so much that makes me cry...

I am an NCOV19 POSITIVE😔😔😔

I actually do not know how to accept and take this reality though symptoms have been so obvious for the past few days that I am sick and can't breathe.

For 6 days now I have had a cold/sneezing, fever, sore throat, muscle/joint pains, dizziness, the difficulty breathing that makes me unable to sleep at night.

It was so scary and difficult.

It scares me thinking that I might acquire the virus from going out just to buy a cellphone charger in Vista Mall Las Piñas on the 14th of July 2020 Tuesday.

One thing is for sure, I wore a surgical mask topped with a cloth mask for my safety. I wore leggings and a jacket for protection. Another thing, I brought a bottle of alcohol to sanitize my hands in every transaction.

I did not stay long inside the mall and social distancing was indeed observed while I was there and for some reason, I was unable to get up from my bed the next day. I was so sick from 15JULY20 and for my family's protection, I isolated myself in our room and advised them that I was so sick and unable to do chores.

I became ill after this day of 14JULY20 Tuesday

My swab test result was emailed from RITM advising me that I am NCOV19 Positive. Thus, changed my life in the coming days of recovery.

Upon receipt of the emailed result, I found myself calling our Barangay to declare me as NCOV19 Positive. They took some of my personal information for filling and advised me to wait for another call from the Las Piñas City Health Office.

This day passed and No Calls got from anybody from the City Health Office. I guessed the calls would come in tomorrow.

COVID19

There are six distinct types of the novel #coronavirus, each with a particular cluster of symptoms, concluded UK-based scientists in a new study on COVID-19 published Friday.

Researchers analyzed data collected by the COVID Symptom Study, a voluntary app used by 4 million people in the UK that allows people to log their symptoms of coronavirus. The data revealed people infected with COVID-19 reported additional symptoms on top of the previously recognized cough, fever, and loss of smell.

These symptoms can be grouped into six distinct clusters, according to a statement published by the COVID Symptom Study after researchers on the project from technology company Zoe Global Limited and King’s College London analyzed the results.

Here are the six clusters, or types of COVID-19 listed:

1. Flu-like with no fever
Additional symptoms: Headache, muscle pains, loss of smell, sore throat, cough, chest pain, no fever.

2. Flu-like with fever
Headache, loss of smell, sore throat, cough, hoarseness, loss of appetite, fever.

3. Gastrointestinal
Headache, loss of smell, loss of appetite, sore throat, chest pain, no cough, diarrhea.

4. Severe level one, fatigue
Headache, loss of smell, cough, chest pain, fever, hoarseness, fatigue.

5. Severe level two, confusion
Headache, loss of smell, loss of appetite, cough, sore throat, chest pain, fever, hoarseness, fatigue, muscle pain, confusion.

6. Severe level three, abdominal and respiratory
Headache, loss of smell, loss of appetite, cough, sore throat, chest pain, fever, hoarseness, fatigue, muscle pain, confusion, diarrhea, shortness of breath, abdominal pain.

The researchers found that some of the ‘types’ of COVID-19 were more prevalent than others and that certain types more strongly correlated with the hospitalization of the patient.

Broadly, COVID-19 patients whose symptoms were mainly flu-like or gastrointestinal were less likely to require hospitalization than those with muscle pain, confusion, fatigue, and other symptoms.

People reporting clusters 1, 2, and 3 were found to be much less likely to require breathing support, with only 1.5, 4.4 and 3.3 percent of each cluster respectively requiring help, the study said.

However, people in clusters 4, 5, and 6 were significantly more likely to require breathing support. Almost 20 percent of cluster 6 patients required breathing support, as did 8.6 and 9.9 percent of clusters 4 and 5 respectively.

Patients in cluster 6 were the most at risk, with nearly half ending up in the hospital, compared to just 16 percent in cluster 1.

“These findings have important implications for care and monitoring of people who are most vulnerable to severe COVID-19,” Dr. Claire Steves, a consultant geriatrician and a member of the team working on the study said, according to the statement.

Old people experience more severe symptoms. The study also reported differences in symptoms based on age and pre-existing conditions.

People in clusters 4, 5, and 6 were also older, trailer, and likely had pre-existing conditions such as diabetes, lung disease, or were overweight, compared to clusters 1, 2, and 3, the study showed.

“If you can predict who these people are at day five, you have time to give them support and early interventions such as monitoring blood oxygen and sugar levels, and ensuring they are properly hydrated - simple care that could be given at home, preventing hospitalizations and saving lives,” Steves added.

Using the cluster approach could allow for hospitals to better predict which patients are likely to require support sooner, and lead to greater health outcomes, the researchers said.

The COVID Symptom Study is run by Zoe Global Limited and King’s College London in collaboration with Guy’s and St Thomas’ Hospitals.

NCOV19_Ang Huling El Bimbo the musical

https://archive.org/details/ang-huling-el-bimbo-the-hit-musical-u-z-n-luhzt-1k

The tragic storyline makes me shed tears and really breaks my heart. I felt so sad for Joy, being abandoned by those she thought her kasangga, ka kampi and kasama through thick and thin. She was abandoned by her friends at the very moment she needed them most. Imagined your best friend, the one you called Kuya and your prince left you all alone when things went wrong.

I was so moved when Joy's Aunt mentioned to Anthony, Hector, and Emman that Joy never blamed any of them for what happened to her- this crushed me so bad and indeed really breaks my heart that caused me to cry. Oh, life! 

And this song Ang Huling El Bimbo, this song is Classic! I grew up with Eheads songs and over the years these songs never get old.  I always see the young me on all of Eheads song and indeed fell in love again and again on this classic OPM. Eheads are legends!!!

Ang Huling El Bimbo the musical is a must-watch, thankful that I was able to watch this online on YouTube due to NCOV19 situation however won't be available after 49hrs.

And thanks to the technology some play excerpts were still available online.

NCOV19_MECQ Applied

#Day 61 in Quarantine/Lockdown 14MAY20 THU

At dahil ibababa na sa Modified Enhanced Community Quarantine ang ilang bahagi nang bansa...

1. Mag-ALCOHOL SA KAMAY, hindi sa ATAY.

2. Ugaliing MAG-HUGAS NG KAMAY, pakidamay na din yung mga hugasan sa lababo.

3. OBSERVE SOCIAL DISTANCING, Iwas, iwas muna tayo sa mga maling tao. To avoid COVID19, iwasan po natin ang any physical contact lalo na kung may jowa at asawa na yung tao.

4. TAKPAN ANG BIBIG(COVER YOUR MOUTH) kapag umuubo, bumabahing at pag-kakalat nang tsismis.

5. MANATILI SA LOOB NANG BAHAY, wag mong sabihing di mo kaya? Sa maling tao nga nag-stay ka nang ilang taon tapos ngayon sa loob nang bahay ng ilang buwan lang nag-rereklamo ka? Yung Totoo???

NCOV19_Himas Rehas

Yung ang dami daming poblema na nang bansa natin para pag-ka abalahan pa ang mga ganitong klase nang post na wala naman talagang kuwenta. . .

Naisip ko lang naman, eh  madaming ganyang post sa FB na kung papatulan mo is just a waste of time. Mukha bang may milyon milyong pera ang mga iyan on the 1st place? Yes, mali yung ginawa nila na mga post nang ganuon pero namen... di pa tayo tapos sa NCOV Situation na dapat mas inuuna na pag-tuunan nang pansin. May mga tao pa na di pa nabibigyan nang ayuda at relief goods. May iba din naman nas lumabag sa batas ah, gaya ni Koko Pimental pero di naman sya na aksiyunan.

Sana mas inuuna at binibigyang priyoridad yung mga bagay na mas malaking epekto sa ekonimiya, pang-kalusugan kesa yung mga ganitong uri nang mga post....

Kung mag huhuli man kayo sana lahatin nyo din yung mga may ganyang pa post sa FB, di yung kung sinu lang yung ma titiyempuhan nyong post. . .Gaya nitong mga itoh.... ilan lang tong mga ito sa mga iyon. . .

#Day54 in Quarantine/Lockdown 07MAY20 THU

I just love how the sky changes colors every time of the day. And indeed it is so lovely to look at and makes you wonder how beautiful it is and its Creator.

"In the stillness of twilight, the setting sun offers a moment of reflection and gratitude for the day that was."

Psalm 113:3-6
3 From east to west, from dawn to dusk, keep lifting all your praises to God! 4 God is higher than anything and anyone, outshining everything you can see in the skies. 5 Who can compare with God, our God, so majestically enthroned, 6 Surveying his magnificent heavens and earth?  

"With each passing sunset, we are reminded of the impermanence of life and the importance of cherishing every precious moment."

"Sunsets are a reminder that even the most brilliant things must come to an end, making space for new possibilities to unfold."

#Day 41 in Quarantine/Lockdown 24APR20

While trying to cheer me up today, it leads me to a series of Anime movies via YouTube, and this one movie that I really liked the most titled Kimi no Na Wa or Your Name in English has a very different storyline that would make you think over again about the possibility and reality of such.

Your Name tells the story of Taki, a high school boy in Tokyo, and Mitsuha, a high school girl in a rural town, who suddenly and inexplicably begins to swap bodies.

See it here in this link- https://youtu.be/LVhFJWmvfQA

NCOV19_I am a Travel Agent

I AM A TRAVEL AGENT

AND THE COVID-19 INFECTED MY WORK

They canceled all kinds of trips, services, and contact with people, my work is affected, there are no tourists who want to travel due to fear, lockdown, and government measures.

Unfortunately, THE WORLD and its people, free or quarantined, don't know who is and who isn't infected.

As a TRAVEL AGENT, we do not have stable work, but we learn to save every last penny because it is not known when the next trip will come.

We are usually in limbo, and the imbalance is part of the routine.

When it seems that our life is stabilizing, and there is much work, to manage and pay the bills, doing what you studied all your life, "#Coronavirus" arrives and everything is #cancelled.

It feels like a bucket of cold water splashed on our backs ...
...and now I begin to doubt.

What will happen?
How long will it last
What shall we do?

All that remains is to keep hoping, as I know that WE Travel Agents and Tourism Stakeholders always survive and we will get through.

We, the people in the travel industry are the ones who transmit the culture, stories and legends, traditions, and experiences to a country full of inspiration🌎.

And I am part of the Travel Industry, our job has been totally affected by this pandemic locally and globally🌎.

I do hope and pray that Mother Nature will bless all of us and for this pandemic to end soon.

Hugs to all of my friends, family, and colleagues.

Never give up, we are living legends and we will be back soon!!!
