Becoming American( formerly Life in the United States & the Philippines-1960 to the Present): I Have My First Dose of Moderna's Vaccine This Morning

Thanks to Ditas and her cousin at Dignity Health (Macrine's niece), I was able to make an appointment for my first dose of Moderna's vaccine in our neighborhood hospital, San Juan Mercy's Hospital. I hope there will be enough supply of the vaccine for my second dose in 4 weeks.

The process was so streamlined and smooth via appointment on line and confirmation by e-mail. Ditas and I drove to the Vaccination site 30 minutes early. There was a line outside the door of the vaccination auditorium but was moving fast. There were a couple of steps of documentation, verification, checking of paper work and then the actual vaccination. All these steps took only about 30 minutes. There was a 15 minute wait after vaccination to see if there are major side effects.

So far I feel good and very happy, grateful and thankful to all the workers in the Vaccination Center. Special thanks to Ditas and Macrine's niece.

Have You Seen a Fire Rainbow? I have not seen an actual one only on photos and video posted in this blog.

Watch this 8 minute video. The fire rainbows is beautiful as it dances in the sky!

“Fire rainbows” are a rare phenomenon that only occur when the sun is higher than 58° above the horizon and its light passes through cirrus clouds made of ice crystals. At the right alignment, the crystals act as a prism, and refracts the light to look like a rainbow.
