Hello B-Day Month

April is here, yay! My birth month. This will be my second pandemic birthday. It's been over a year since the pandemic started but it seems nothing has changed. While other countries are slowly opening their economies and going back to normal, we are back to where we started, even worse. More and more people are getting vaccinated but it does not mean the pandemic will be over soon because as long as there is no cure, there is no end to this. 

As much as I do not want to think about all the negativities in the world right now, I just couldn't help it because it has changed the world so much. Anyhow, I am keeping myself busy with other things like home modifications while I'm not busy with my online business. Just like any type business or industry, there are highs and lows but that is not reason enough to be disheartened, take it as a challenge. 

At the moment, I keep myself busy by doing some minor home modifications like installing wallpapers, painting walls, etc. I made a few projects and I love how it turned out. You can find some of my recent projects on my most recent vlog by clicking on the video below.

I guess life goes on no matter how hard it is. We have to keep going and find things that'll make us happy. So what keeps you happy and sane these days? 

Keep safe everyone. 

It’s Still Out There

Hello July! we’re halfway through 2020 and the virus is still out there. I’ve lost count of how many days our country is in quarantine but all I know is that we are still in community quarantine, may it be ECQ, GCQ or MGCQ. Nobody knows for sure when all of this will be over so it’s better to be safe than sorry. I don’t think things will normalize soon because if we look at the history of every pandemic, it could last a year or two, or worse, for many years. While the rest of the world is slowly getting back on their feet, our country is far from flattening the curve, despite all the efforts of the government. 

Fear is still in the air, that is why I cannot even imagine how some people don’t see how serious the situation is. Why can they afford to attend social gatherings or not wear a mask properly? While there are citizens who strictly follow government directives, there are some who still choose to take the risks. The Philippines have the longest quarantine to date, but is it all worth it? Our Covid cases are still going up and we don’t know for sure how high it is going to be? I guess let’s just wait and see.

So how do I keep up during quarantine? I know most people are still struggling with a lot of stress, both financially and psychologically. I’m just thankful that I survived the most critical period of quarantine that was back in March, when Covid-19 is just getting started in the country. My online business was paralized for two months because of ECQ, thank God online commerce resumed in May. Patience is a virtue, because in times like these, giving up is not an option. We cannot rely on the government alone. It’s survival of the fittest, so to speak. 

I don’t think things are going back to the way it was. A lot of things have changed and it’s possible that we might live with the virus for a long time. I’m okay with change as long as it’s for the better, no matter how inconvenient it is for some. Washing hands is not new to me anyway or disinfecting things since I’m a little bit of a germophobe already. Being an introvert, I also don’t mind social distancing even wearing a mask especially if I don’t feel like putting on makeup. Nobody wanted the virus, but it’s here now and there’s no other way but to deal with it.


There are things that we cannot control so it’s better to keep an open mind and stay informed. Let’s just hope that the situation will not worsen, but in case it does, we must arm ourselves against the unseen enemy. 

No Filter

It’s the second week of Luzon lockdown and I must say that I am getting the hang of it. To be honest, I don’t really miss the outside world. I guess it’s just one of the perks of being an introvert, I’ve always been a homebody, that’s why I decided to quit my regular job years ago and decided to manage an online business instead. I would like to be my own boss. I have no problem at all with this lockdown thingy because I understand that it’s for safety reasons, the challenge is when calamity struck a country, all kinds of business are paralized. Nobody knows for sure how long this pandemic will last, I can only pray to God that this will all be over soon. 

I know that the government is doing the best they can to prevent the spread of virus although the numbers are still going up each day but without isolation, it could’ve been worse. The thought of having a curfew does not bother me at all or the need to secure a travel permit or quarantine pass just to get out of our house is not that difficult but what’s scary is that we are all aware of the unseen danger yet we have to brave it just to survive. Anyone may contract the virus, it knows no gender, age nor status in life, even lifesavers aren’t spared. I guess at this point we can only trust the process and do our part which is to cooperate. I cannot wait for things to go back to the way it was before Coronavirus came in the picture. I would like to breathe the air like I used to, without filter. I hope that we can go on with our normal lives again soon.
