Belated Happy Lunar New Year! Now we officially welcome the year of the Ox. I know, it's been a year since the pandemic but things are still not back to the old normal. I guess this is how things are going to be moving forward, the new normal. Nobody knows for sure how long we are going to wear masks, or face shields but I guess we are all in this for the long haul.
So how is 2021 going for me so far? I guess it's too early to tell. All I know is that we all have to keep going because life goes on whether we like it or not. There are so many businesses that closed down, even those we thought would be there forever like the airline and even hotel industry. This is going to be the third year that I don't get to travel and I kinda miss it already. My passport is also expiring in two months time but it would not be practical for me to renew it this year, especially with the current situation. I think I better wait until things are better.
A lot of things were put on hold this year, who would have thought that one day, a pandemic like this would come? I'm still apprehensive about having the vaccine to be honest. I still have a feeling that it would do more harm than good, well at least in my opinion. In some countries, they are eager to get a dose of the vaccine because they believe that it is the only solution. I know it's silly to believe in predictions because only God can tell what the future holds but I just cannot get Nostradamus' prediction off my head that a zombie apocalypse is going to happen this 2021. What I'm trying to say is, what if the vaccine is indeed a weapon of mass destruction instead of a cure to the virus? There are conspiracy theories that Covid-19 is a man-made virus and did not just happen by accident. I guess there's just way too much going on in the world that we do not know about. There is no wonder why more and more people end up suffering from mental illness these days because the world that we know is changing very fast.
Should we just let tomorrow worry itself or what? Happy thoughts, I guess?
