My COVID19 heart attack, Praise Jesus!

It's been 21 since I've been to the office and technically we should be clear of fear from COVID19. But I realized that I am one of the lucky ones who might have survived this calamity.  This Pandemic has been going on for more than 3 months and it's devastating effect is now slowly unfolding by the day. Rumors and now confirmation of impending global and national crises have circulated and haunted economists, businessmen, executives, employees since the pandemic was announced about a  month ago.
I for one have had a roller coast of emotion over the virus. From panic to paranoia, to fear of stepping out of the house even for a ray of sunshine, my stress levels got the best of me recently when I almost had my second heart attack.
covid19 heart attack

Yes, 2 days ago, I woke up to this throbbing pain of my chest. Coupled with dizziness and nausea, I was sweating profusely that my shirt was deeply soaked. I took my blood sugar test to check if it was too high. I got 120 which was still normal. I then drank water and had to go to the bathroom to discharge.
As I was walking back to the bedroom, I suddenly fainted. Then when I had my consciousness back i was lying on the floor, my heart still pounding like crazy, still sweating profusely like i was on a threadmill. Everything was hazy but my mind was still active.
I suddenly realized that I forgot to drink my morning maintenance med -Imdur30 yesterday.
I asked my husband to get it and I took it. Panicking and crying, my husband was trying to wake me up. But since I was still too weak to standup, he had to call out to our neighbor to help me standup and lead me to the car.
As they were walking me to the car, I vomitted water and some mucus (according to hubby).
 As he was locking up the house and I was in the car, I prayed aloud with all my strengthfor Jesus to help me out . I prayed: "Jesus, I know that you can see me. I know that you are with me. Pls help me Lord. Pls heal me. Your name is Power Jesus!".
That was when I started to feel better. Maybe the meds started to kick in or the sunshine that I had not seen for a week but I know in my heart that it was Jesus.
My husband arrived a few minutes later and started the car. I knew he was bringing me  to the hospital.
As he asked me how I was, he was surprised that I could already speak clearly. But I told him that I was already well and that I dont want to go to the hospital because I might get exposed to Covid.
I told him that Jesus healed me. When he saw that I stopped sweating and I was not dizzy anymore,   he turned around and brought me back home.
Back in the house, we thanked our neighbor for helping us and just explained that the meds already kicked in.
When I felt a lot better I search the Internet for heart attack symptoms and was surprised that the classic tell tale signs of a heart attack were exactly the ones that I just  experienced.
And if it were not for Jesus' healing mercy. I could not even begin to imagine what could have happened if I had to be brought to the emergency room that day.
We learned later on that there was no longer any available emergency room in any of the hospitals nearby.
I later called in a doctor from the Kitika App for a consult and even she thought my symptoms were consistent with a heart attack. She advised me to see my cardio as soon as I can and if they symptoms recur, I really need to go straight to the emergency room.
It's been two days since and it is now late at night but I could not help myself from sharing this miracle I experienced that day.

Indeed, the Lord is soveriegn and there is Power in His Name Lord Jesus!
In my anxiety, I learned that my only hope is in Jesus!
Truly He is my healer, my everpresent help in times of need.
I cannot help but cry and proclaim his wonderful deeds! Praise God!!! Praise His name on high!

My metrobank was hacked and my reserve claim was denied!

I could not believe my eyes! My request for dispute has been denied! To make the long story short, about a month ago, my metrobank account was hacked, I have been a victim of a phising scam yes but one that was brought about by a text coming from Metrobank's official SMS number. This was the same number that texts me for updates and posted about my transactions and OTPs! I would have no reason not to trust it because the sms came from their official system. Assuming this, I calmly requested for reversal and waited patiently for the decision, only to find out that they denied my claim! How can they be so cruel and heartless! But alas they are, they really are. All I can do now is to warn as many people as I can about what happened to me because Metrobank is a callous heartless bank who would not care if your money got stolen from their bank. No to Metrobank! If I were you, leave this bank now. Pull out your money and put it somewhere safe. Beware of of Metrobank!

How knowing SEO changed my career path

It's been more than a year since I took the SEO specialization course from Coursera given by UC Davis Extension program. And boy is it a great pivoting experience so far.  As one who have been in the practice of market research for more than 20 years, venturing into a totally new field is not only nerve-wracking but also defining.  It changed my career path unexpectedly even at age 40.   It was also last year that I have concurrently been assigned as Head of SEO/SEM for the entire conglomerate.  And because of that, I have been able to practice SEO not only with one website but with 12.  One year later, I've seen these websites grow impressions by 1k% and traffic by 500% because of organic and local SEO.  It actually surprised me how powerful SEO really is in achieving traffic goals which will help you eventually grow leads. We now have a steadily increasing number of leads across the 12 brands.  But recently I have been trying to assess if I were...

Balik Probinsya Program: Preparing for the new normal

Vista Land supports the Balik Probinsya program by offering several affordable house and lot packages in hundreds of locations nationwide. The government recently extended the ECQ in Metro Manila and critical areas of the country to May 15, 2020.  While the rest of the world continue to battle the dreaded virus, PH has more worries ahead.  the economy is on the brink of collapsing and people's lives are also on hold because of fear and  uncertainty.  The different Department of the government each has its own contribution to the Task Force that is helping each other to solve the crisis.  But left out in the picture at least for now are the economists that would like to push for more detailed plans on how to revive the economy after the COVID crisis. DOH on the other hand is still on the limelight sharing it with the DSWD in making sure that the spread is controlled and that people would have food on their plates everyday. Short term stops are on its way ...
