Virtual Christmas Party

Big gatherings remain prohibited this Christmas season due to the Covid pandemic. You can still enjoy the holiday season if you follow the health and safety protocols despite certain restrictions.

If you have a good Internet connection at home, you can organize your first virtual Christmas party and reunion via different platforms online. (Some friends on Facebook are doing this already.)

It will be fun to gather friends and relatives online. All you need is a party theme, food and refreshments, outfit, and music to play. You can even play different virtual games with your loved ones.

Since it is also the season for gift-giving, there are perfect and pandemic safe gift ideas for everyone. (Please check my previous post about Christmas gift ideas.)

In all the preparation for the holidays, health experts have advised observing minimum public health standards, such as wear face masks, wash hands, and practice safe physical distancing even when you are with your family members.

These practices, experts said, have been proven to decrease the number of Covid-19 infections.

June 14 is World Blood Donor Day

In January 2016, blood transfusion saved my life. If not for kind hearted relatives who were willing to donate their blood, I wouldn’t be here today.

I had a bad case of endometriosis and adenomyoma back in 2014. The bleeding and pain became unbearable in the latter part of 2015. The doctor suggested dilation and curettage (D&C) to check if the bleeding could be addressed by the procedure. I needed blood transfusion first. Luckily, my cousin’s wife and nephews were able to donate blood before the procedure took place.

My problem though didn’t end after D&C, but I’m thankful there were good people who shared their precious blood to save my life.

Dilation and curettage (D&C) is a procedure to remove tissue from inside your uterus. Doctors perform dilation and curettage to diagnose and treat certain uterine conditions — such as heavy bleeding — or to clear the uterine lining after a miscarriage or abortion. — mayoclinic.org
