Wazzup Pilipinas!
I started blogging 2013, got my first award or recognition in 2014, then the following years were very fruitful - got invited to guest on many radio and TV shows, got featured on newspapers and magazines, had my own radio/online show, got invited outside of the country for blog opportunities, and now a part of a mainstream media.
But this covid-19 pandemic, just like everything else, put almost every other opportunities at a halt. When everyone claimed 2020 as their year, it never occured to us we will be struck by a powerful foe that will forever be the most stressful period of our lives.
Now bored at home, with limited resources compared to our previous routines, we are bewildered on what to do.
Surf the internet, binge on Netflix movies and TV series, play video games, splurge on food delivery, or any other tempting tasks that actually waste our time. Entertained and never a dull moment, yet being unproductive.
So some of us tried cooking up culinary treats, others experimented on their green thumbs and did some urban gardening, others found joy in painting sceneries and nature, and plenty of us adopted pets at our homes.
Whatever we experienced during this quarantine, or lockdown, period will surely never leave our memories since we've shared it for months already.
Lucky are the ones who spent this predicame t more comfortably because of affluent status in life, but many would detest this months of being seemingly tied up and restricted.
Until now we are not sure when we will be back to normal, or are we transcending to what they are calling the "new normal"?
For sure, nothing will be the same as it was before. Many cannot easily erase the thoughts of this troubled time when we couldn't see our enemy, made worst by a clueless government.
