Also, if you haven’t seen Friends: The Reunion but have plans of watching it, skip this post for there will be spoilers ahead.

The One with the Huge Dose of Nostalgia

Who’s excited for the Friends: The Reunion tomorrow? I am!

Can you blame me? I’m a big fan of the show. Friends is the only American series I actually followed and loved. I was 18 when it started and already nearing my thirties when it ended so you can definitely say that it played a major part in my coming of age. 

To put it simply, Friends will always be the best show for me.

Happy snaps! I finally got my first dose of the COVID-19 vaccine today.

When the COVID vaccination started in the Philippines early this year, I wasn’t exactly in a hurry to get one. When I found out through our HR that Barangay Bel-Air of Makati City is preparing a list for vaccination of non-residents working in Makati, I initially thought it would be best to wait for it knowing that Makati has better logistics and processes compared to Pasay. 

Besides, Chinese vaccine Sinovac was getting such bad rap in the beginning in comparison with AstraZeneca, Pfizer, or Moderna which are developed in the West. It’s easy to understand why most of us are reluctant to get vaccinated and would rather wait for the other brands.

But witnessing how two of my uncles died from COVID within a matter of days was a rude awakening. From that point on, all I’ve been waiting for was a chance to get inoculated. Frankly, I didn’t care anymore what they use on me. 

Getting the vaccine will not make me immune to the virus, but having it will reduce the risk of developing severe COVID complications. For me, that’s what’s important.
