Shopping Nokia 1.4
With the start of the pandemic, one of my nieces is in charge in buying groceries good for two (2) weeks for us. This is to minimize the risk of catching the SARS-CoV-2 virus. Since she is now in La Union and would be there for several months, it's my turn to do so.
Left the condo around 7:30AM with Edgar, the driver. Was at The Landmark Supermarket around 8AM. If I have known, would have left the condo at 8AM instead since it would open at 8:30AM.
We were second in the queue. What is nice about being the early bird, we quickly ticked-off our shopping list. But since I still have to buy carrot juice, will have to wait for the mall/ department store to open at 10AM.
Went to The Landmark's hardware section to buy CR2032 battery cell. Then, to Glorietta for the Nokia store, which is now closed. Went to MX ExpressMemo instead to buy the Nokia 1.4. Plan to change the mobile phone used at home to this model. Next is Standard Computer, and CompLink to buy the ink cartridges for my Canon printer. Beard Papa's for the cream puff. And the actual item in my list--carrot juice at Healthy Options.
Supernatural Criminal Minds NCIS
Yes! Was able to set-up so I can watch NCIS, Criminal Minds, and Supernatural in Netflix. Shhh....
Rotating the series by finishing one (1) season each. Thus, finished Season 1 of NCIS, and Criminal Minds. On the way to finish Season 1 of Supernatural.
Will be onsite for one week. Took my rapid antigen test. Negative for #COVID19 Thank, God!
The Sons Of Sam: A Descent Into Darkness
Another documentary from Netflix.
The Sons of Sam: A Descent Into Darkness is a documentary series, more about Journalist Maury Terry who is obsessed with the David Berkowitz, known as Son of Sam, an American serial killer who pleaded guilty to eight separate shooting attacks. Terry has an alternate theory.
#Like #ThumbsUp as it offers a different perspective.
The Perfect Date
Hair pampering day. The salon (and similar services) were allowed to be opened again after the government "slightly" lifted the quarantine status. Should have done it last month per my schedule.
After, passed by The Landmark to buy my shampoo, virgin coconut massage oil, kitchen lighter. At Glorietta mall, bought lighter fluid at True Value, cream puff at Beard Papa's and ice cream at Tiger Sugar.

Once Upon A Time In China
Decided to watch movies in Netflix (instead of my usual series). As I was going through the list, was I glad when I saw that the Once Upon A Time In China film series is available! My Nanay and I watched these movies by renting Betamax tapes. (Note: Betamax, not VHS. Hehehe!)

It is cute. Relatable. I luv their bickering. Joon-hyung must have taken it from his aunt and uncle who took him under their wing when her mom left him to remarry.
