March 2021 is almost done.

COVID-19 Vaccination Card

Captain’s log, Star-date… oh wait a second there. This is not Star Trek.

Where have the month go? Today is March 31, 2021 where I type this entry. In most part of the world, it is already April 1, 2021.

April 1 as in April Fools Day?

“NO WE’RE NOT PLAYING WITH THAT THIS YEAR, JUST LIKE THE YEAR BEFORE.”

Caps Lock is now off.

March 2021 marks 1 year of COVID-19 era, as most of the world shut down in March 2020. There are lights at the end of this tunnel, we think. More and more people I know have received their first dose of COVID-19 vaccines. Even my Mom got hers first dose in March 2021 and scheduled to get the second dose 4 weeks after that.

Where I am, most people are eligible for vaccination starting April 15, 2021. I have an appointment for vaccination on that day.

Which vaccine am I getting?

It doesn’t matter to me if I get the Pfizer, Moderna or Johnson & Johnson vaccine. I believe that vaccination will help us getting back to some sense of the days before COVID-19 era.

Anyway, what else is going on?

Congratulation to my good friends Jill-Michele Meleán and Carlos Alazraqui on the release of their movie: Witness Infection. I’ve downloaded it via iTunes Store. Jilly and Carlos wrote the script and with the help from friends such as Tara Strong and Maurice LaMarche, the movie is now available for our viewing pleasure. Don’t ask me how the movie is because I’m definitely have personal bias. Support independent film makers.

OK, I’m kinda distracted right now, so I might add something here later. For now I’m going to press “Publish” button.


P.S. New Helloween song “Skyfall” is coming on April 2, 2021.

New self-titled Halloween album drops on June 18, 2021. I’ve preordered the single and the album.

First Quarantine, One Year to the Date

February 28, 2021 marks exactly one year to the date when I had to voluntarily self-quarantine. A flight attendant friend told me that she was ordered by the airline to quarantine due to possible exposure to COVID-19. Since I did have close contact with her, I needed to self-quarantine. Luckily we later found out that we were not exposed to this novel Coronavirus.

Yes, it has been open year.

Forest Green and Navy Blue Atoms Shoes

New Atoms 000 in Navy Blue and Forest Green

I have been almost exclusively wearing Atoms Shoes since February 2019. I have clocked in more than 15,000 miles on my first pair of Atoms shoes.

You can get $20 off for your first pair of Atoms shoes by ordering through this link.

They originally came in Black, White, and Black & White. Over time, Atoms introduced Gray, Neon, Red Clay, Coral Pink and Ocean Blue.

In 2019, I requested Atoms to add Blue and Green into their collection.

In the second half of 2020, Atoms released limited edition Tie-Dye Blue which were made to order. In addition to that, Atoms adds three new colors:

The new collections come with options for respective color or white laces and soles.

I purchased extra white laces back in April 2020 to use with Coral Pink model.

I wonder what Classic Yellow look like in person.

Navy Blue model just like its Black counterpart, looks really sharp. I would alternate between the two as my daily shoes.


This is in no way a sponsored post by Atoms. I do like their shoes and I have paid for every pair I bought, including replacement Copper-Lined Insoles and Stretchy Laces. You can get $20 off for your first pair of Atoms shoes by clicking on this link.
