Crazy First Quarter of 2020





My dearest Blog,

Oh my goodness! It's been a year already since I last put up an entry AGAIN? Haha oh no. I missed this, in fairness. How are you? How is it has been?

I am writing this in the midst of my quarantine life. Believe me the past months of 2020 were C R A Z Y! January was the Australia bushfire, February was the legendary Black Mamba Kobe Bryant’s death and March was Covid-19 Pandemic. On a lighter note, thank goodness I’ve got time for now!

I wanna blog again to immortalize my presence, reminisce this moment in future, and just so I could continue writing as if my middle school days. I don't know but writing feels like a sacred hobby for me. It keeps me sane and true to myself without being judged by other person. Although the irony is this blog is public, but who would know this anyways? HAHAHA.

Well I am not saying bye to earth but with what is happening around us, I just don't want to take anything for granted. And mind you, Universe (Yes, I have the habit of talking to the Universe), it is so timely that I heard Alicia Key’s song: Unthinkable “Im ready”. Why am I feeling emotional nowadays, eh? 

**Side note to all my single ladies: they say, don't ever assume someone's kindness. No matter how evident their actions are, no matter how good that man is unless he clarifies his intentions to you, do not conclude. You are worthy to be pursued. Rise up woman of God, know your worth in Christ**

Well, anyways, apart from strictly following this quarantine life with a #FlattenTheCurve , I just would like to say that this has been a hidden blessing because before this lockdown happened, I was actually on the brink of abusing my body. I am guilty of taking my health for granted as work was already taking a toll on me. You see, if you are a girl with ambitious dreams like me, I would take any sideline that could help me earn and invest money. Quick background, I am an interior designer and a full time real estate consultant that is why I started 2020 with loaded work. January until early March 2020 was W O R K and almost always had 3 hrs sleep + weekend duties.

Side story, I think the lucky charm (money charm) I bought in one of the Tokyo temple during our travel last year has been working! 

Then going back this pandemic came, and it is like suddenly world stopped, time felt slower, and days went longer. Before those activist could react that I am “privileged” enough to just stay home while many fellow Filipinos are hungry etc. etc. I think I have done my part donating portion of my savings for them. I am so stressed reading news of all sorts online. Goodness! 

This pandemic Covid-19 Virus has been an eye opener for many of us. Be it in politics, health, environment sector, and in our relationships. I am sorry for the families who had lost their loved ones because of this crisis though, I truly am. 

This “work from home” scheme is hard especially with my line of work where I cannot stay in one place for a day. But who am I to complain? 

One thing I miss going out also is hanging out aka driving my car. My baby’s name is Maze. Call me weird but I take care of it like a real human being. I have so much to say about it but maybe not today hehe. 

I also miss hanging out with friends, give ourselves some booze, travel, adventure, and the list that has to do with going out goes on....... I am not complaining though as I know, “delay of gratification” very well. 

While I am stuck here at home, I wanted to make use of my time wisely. I get to tone my body and have almost daily workout. Additionally, I think Im being productive too. I got to teach my bro some driving lessons, repaint my room, paint my nails, read some untouched books, catchup on movies, sleep well, play my ukelele, a little bit of cooking too, catch up with good health, smell the flowers, listen to new music, bond with family, activate old hobbies, and meditate. 


The ZOOM life. Online Meetings and Catchup with relatives abroad. 

 

Workout Life needs 10x determination lol
My Interior Design blood was bored
Tadah! The result! Sorry my first time haha!

Of course, reading untouched books.
And last but not the least, 11AM still in my Jammies.
Body clock? What's that? LOL

I will surely miss this episode of my life where I was given ample time to do everything I wanted (except going out hehe). Thank You, Lord for this. And right now, I only pray for my loved ones to be healthy, safe and strong. Till the next entry!



Bella Ciao!
