Three pharmaceutical companies so far, has announced successful and promising vaccine trials for Covid-19. This is the best news of the year 2020. The world waits for these vaccines to arrived on to the public free and without technical glitches. Even the Philippine government wants to offer vaccines free to everyone. That's from the mouth of Duterte. Optimistically, experts estimate the public will have them by 3rd quarter next year, 2021.
Flood waters from Typhoon Ulysses wasn't receding as fast as we hoped. Cagayan Province still covered with brown silted water from the Magat River system.

Lino sent a balikbayan box a month or so ago, and it arrived Friday here. Mom received folding chairs and cane. We got chocolates and food in cans and pasta in boxes. I got an Acer Aspire laptop which I customized (please read my post here). Lino, my brother, has a second box still in transit somewhere in the vast Pacific, I guessed, with a bike or maybe another laptop for me. I hope it arrives soon and make the new year brighter.
I filled up the Fibr application online and sent it to PLDT along with my passport, photo and signature. They verified my mobile number and I sent them my location via Google map. I chose the Plan 1699 which delivers a landline and internet connection via fiber of up to 25 MBPS. I pay 1,799 per month in total for the basic service and the installation spread over 36 months. I think this one's for real because their people are calling me up and sending sms over the phone to update me.
Some of Imee's things pop up now and then and here and there. Some of her ID's and old photographs were found in her cabinet. I still have her old ID photos too. I have her death certificate. Mom found some her clothes and gave me some of her socks. Rest in peace, sister.
