COVID-19 Update 4: Fever!

I got this digital thermometer when I was taking care of Imee. It's been routine to Mom and I to check our body temperature everyday now since the quarantine. How do you know if you have the virus? What are the symptoms?

The number one complaint of those who have tested positive of the corona virus is fever. Your body detects a foreign invasion its immune system goes to a higher alert status. The normal body temperature ranges from 36.1 Celsius to 37.2 Celsius. If you register a body temperature above 38 degrees celsius, it most often means a fever. In these weird times, a fever will land you in the isolation ward of your house, with your own things like spoon and fork and plate and things like that. 

The second symptom to look out for is dry cough. There's fatigue and loss of smell. So if you have all of these simultaneously, isolate. Wear a face mask. Of course in the Philippines everybody is wearing a face mask. 

Mina and Lino live abroad. They're my sister and brother. They've been calling through facebook messenger and skype everyday. This pandemic brings people together like no other. I just saw a picture of a grandmother blowing kisses to her son through a glass window. I hope and pray that this pandemic has not taken anyone you know or love. We can do that, pray together.

Password Issues On Ubuntu Login

I found myself unable to enter my login credentials when prompted to do so in Ubuntu. I think I might have changed it then forget about it. I've been running the current session for more days than I should have. I forget. So what's the solution to my problem. How do I get in to my system now? It involved getting into the grub menu somehow. I am uncertain as to how to do that exactly in your system. So there's a couple of ways to do it (finger's crossed). When booting at system start, use the esc key or the shift key. The first one worked for me. The timing is key. Wait until the bios banner shows then hit the esc key once. I am using Ubuntu 22.04.4 here. I have a current version of grub. The grub menu will give you options and the one you want is: root. Yes you want root privileges to set the root password. It should give you a terminal access where you can issue commands. Type: #mount -rw -o -s remount / ==> this command mounts the filesyste...

2024 So Far

I have a feeling of moving earth or walking off my itchiness. The growing fat in my belly tells me I am failing on many occasions to give in to this urge. My eyes are blurred by morning glory. I remember my father having the same ritual in the morning. After his weak stroke, he couldn't speak much, just a grunt but he would demonstrate with hand how he liked to wash his face. The weather wasn't helping. It's been raining cats and dogs the past week. The province of Rizal was soaked and spilled volumes of water into the bay and Laguna lake. Our Caimito tree was cut to no more than 4 feet from the ground. It was towering above the corrugated sheet metal of our roof. Now it lay horizontal on the yard. I calculated it could be made into a whole table and chairs set by a talented carpenter artist. I showed Lino the two big pieces of trunk that could only be moved if cut by a power saw in place. The road widening project in San Mateo was in the middle stage. One side of the road ...
