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!

Number 1 Restaurant: an unsolicited review

I just had to write about this great new family resto we've been liking since we found it! I'm not sure if they have other branches but I do pray they expand soon. I'm talking about a place called Number 1 Reataurant located at SM East Ortigas. First of all, I don't even know what type of restaurant it is because of the wide and i mean wiiiide array of choices that it offers. It's like a Jollibee, Tokyo tokyo, Bonchon and Mang Inasal rolled into one! Amazing! Second, the food is good. I can't say it's exceptional but it more than ok for a fast food joint. And lastly, the price is awesomely affordable! For a family of 5, we've been able to order for all of us a total of 5 dishes for only P577 drinks included! With the taste, spread and price, Number 1 resto is definitely something worth mentioning! Can't wait til our next visit!

Milleneals were able to save during the pandemic and they need to invest now

I got invited by people from Vista Residences to talk about Investing Tips for Millleneals.  This will happen on Dec 1 via their Official facebook account.  Please see here to registration link. https://www.vistaresidences.com.ph/  https://www.facebook.com/VistaResidencesOfficial/posts/3825522130801187 As I was mulling over the topic for my talk, I needed to do some research on this generation which has been misjudged and misunderstood by the older gen, including mine (Gen X).  But as I conclude my deck, I realized that every generation has gone through that stage in life where self-realization is a foremost need.  Sometimes more than financial stability, the need to find the self is I think one of the most important ideals for the said Gen Y.  This is evidenced by its high level of patronage of travel promos and DIY get away trips by most of the middle class even those belonging to the lower middle class.  I remember one of my staff in the office tel...

To OFWs: Starting your home purchase is the greatest decision you'll ever make

I have read a worrisome article from an OFW forum which has been shared and has circulated among OFW group communities. It mentioned that purchasing real estate may not be a good idea for OFWs. Apart from the fact that he the writer is trying to convince his audience to buy "stocks" as a form of investment, I am really not sure where he is coming from. I have been a daughter of an OFW since age 2. One of the earliest conversations with my dad circled around his reasons for not choosing to work locally. And the very first of these reasons was for us to have a decent home and a good life. 3 years into his work as a cashier in Jeddah, he bought a piece of land and 2 years after we moved into our unfinished house. Slowly over the years my mom would try to make major improvements like an extension or a interior finishing or a semi permanent partition which would later on form part of a still unfinished house and lot.  During that time there was no concept of a house and lot...
