Case Logic

Last working day for the week.  Decided to go to SM Mall of Asia (MOA) to buy the laptop sleeve for my 14-inch Asus laptop.  I liked very much the laptop sleeve I bought at Case Logic for my 13-inch Asus laptop.  The free laptop sleeve I got for the 14-inch is actually for a 15-inch laptop.  Tsk!  Tsk!

Went immediately at MOA's Cyberzone and bought the laptop sleeve.  It is still on sale!  #ThumbsUp

Decided to also buy a Logitech bluetooth mouse without a dongle.  Was able to buy one at CompLink.

Since I am already at MOA, went to St. Paul's.  Wanted to buy the St. Benedict's Holding Cross.  Somehow, every time I drop by at the store once the quarantine slowly eased, it is always close.  But not this time.  Was able to buy one!  Thank you.  Now, I don't need to go to their SM Megamall branch.


Left and went to SM Hypermarket along SLEX to buy the meryenda ng bayan before proceeding home.  Hehe!

VivoBook

Was thinking of buying a smaller sized laptop.  The netbook I have is so slooooooowwwwwwww.   I leave my 14-inch laptop at the office during weekdays that I have to make do with my netbook.

Been searching for a store where the 13-inch Asus laptop is available.  Learned that one is available in Villman Computer at SM Mall of Asia.  It is on sale and I would get further discount if I paid in cash.  The latter it would be.

So called Edgar, the driver, to pick me up.  I thought it would just be a quick come-and-go.  It took a long time to set-up the MS Office which I also bought with the laptop.  The Asus VivoBook S13 does not have a webcam, so bought a Logitech C925e webcam.  Might be a bit inconvenient but having no camera on your laptop is a sort of security.

While waiting for the MS Office to be set-up, went to the other stores.  Was able to buy a Logitech Pebble wireless mouse at Electroworld and laptop sleeve (on sale) at Case Logic.

After, went to The Aristocrat to buy food-to-go before proceeding home.

Teeth

Already had an appointment with my lady dentist.  They modified their clinic to adjust to the requirements of IATF in order for them to operate.  Some of their batchmates still refuses to open their clinic; thus, they refer their patients to my dentist.

Learned from my dentist is to use hydrogen peroxide 10 volumes (one part hydrogen peroxide, two parts water) for gargling once a day, preferably before you sleep.  This actually kills viruses that is in your mouth.  A good tip to fight #coronavirus .  It is easier to fight the #SARS_CoV_2 outside than inside the body.

What I usually do, arriving home from the office, aside from the usual sterilizing/ sanitizing, I gargle with Oracare in hope to kill the virus that is still in my mouth.  This time, I would use the hydrogen peroxide solution.

Since I asked Edgar, the driver, to park at Waltermart after dropping me off, walked my way to said mall after my appointment with my dentist.  But first, bought the Rhea hydrogen peroxide (the red one) at Mercury Drug, which is in the same building as my dentist's clinic.

Went straight to Pancake House at Waltermart to buy food-to-go.  Asked Edgar to go there, too.  Advised the waiter to give my order to Edgar once it is ready.  I would look for a bottle spray (I can use the undiluted hydrogen peroxide to sterilize) and another container to but my hydrogen peroxide solution.  Was able to buy the container, a water bottle, at Miniso.

Since beabi sells various items for travel use, decided to go to Glorietta and check if it has a spray bottle.  Also not available.

Then, proceeded home.

Our office have us take the RTK test once a month.  An officemate who took the test last week was positive of anti-bodies (IGg).  The following day, he/ she took the swab (PCR) test.  His/ her result came out Monday and he/ she is positive for COVID-19.  Thus, our group has to be split; that is, half the group would be on-site and the other half would be working from home for five (5) days.  Then, the group will swap.  Thus, from Wednesday to next Tuesday, I would be on-site.  I would be working from home next Wednesday to next, next Tuesday.

Yesterday afternoon, noticed that one of my fingers have a bruise.  Showed it to my niece when I arrived home.  She is the one who noticed that I have swollen fingers.  Uh-oh!  It could be diabetes or kidney disease.  That caused me to worry. Searching the internet, it says if the swelling does not subside after three days, I have to go to the doctor.  With the COVID-19 pandemic, it is kinda scary to go.  Every Friday, I only take bread and water.  Could this be the cause?  Could your sugar spike even if you do not have diabetes?
