I installed Zoom in Gmail because its becoming clear to me the world wants to see me in video format. I am resigned to the world requesting my live face when I chat so to make my life easier I have installed Zoom in Gmail. Whenever I open Gmail in the browser I have access to zoom.  I have also enabled Google Chat in the side panel. This is something that is instantly obvious to chat users of all kinds. Chat in your email browser. duh! Will this change move me and my friends away from messenger? I don't know.  I am using Chromium browser which is the open source version of Chrome by Google. I enabled some display settings so it would play better with my desktop theme which is in a darker color scheme. 

Making the corona virus vaccines available to the rest of the world really makes sense. I thought about getting that jab for me and my mom but realizing that people next door can still get sick or maybe carrying the virus. That is just insanity. The quicker we do this, the faster things get to normal. The normal being people walking out their doors without worrying about getting sick.  My friend's parents got their vaccine calls along with a number of people. They spent three hours in the venue before they were released with their shots. One week later they have the symptoms of covid-19. Obviously, they got infected during the last mile of the vaccine delivery. Vaccinations should happen with social distancing and as few people at a time in the room. So instead his parents are spending 14 days of self-quarantine. 

To lose 1 lb of body weight, I had to burn 3500 calories more than what I eat for the week. I started and finished a straight cycle of intermittent fasting 18:6 for 14 days. My weight has plateau, no weight loss for 3 days. I had to revisit the period when I did loose weight around the last part of December 2019 and reached the lowest weight I got - 70 kg. That time I was running 2 hour cardio steady state at least 3 times a week. I was eating 1600 calories, low carb, 68(fat)-12(carb)-20(protein). The carb would sometimes dip to 5%. I try hard to adhere to keto but I was loosing weight I figured I was doing something right.  Congratulations to Carla and Jerome who got married in church this weekend in Tagaytay City. Happy for both of you.  Happy birthday Cobong!  The rainy season is finally here. It rained torrents yesterday and filled the pathway. Today Roger is cleaning the canal and making sure the roof is not leaking.  Mother and I are still waiting for our vaccine call outs.
