Music: Restart. by the amazing Sam Smith.
March 18, 2020. Philippines. It is Day 4 since President Rodrigo Duterte declared an Enhanced Community Quarantine for Metro Manila, Sunday March 15th then widened the lockdown to the whole of Luzon on Monday. The World Heath Organization (WHO) already declared the current COVID 19 health situation as pandemic. Health safety measures are enforced and the government declares quarantine, so that means the general public are to stay indoors unless one needs to go out for vital necessities or health emergencies.
Quarantine. Stay indoors.
Amidst the current global health pandemic, I am restarting my blog. We are on Day 4 and I have tidied up, did simple DIY around the house and after a two-year hiatus, I think it is but perfect to restart blogging. I have been putting this off for, God knows how long lol. I have been constantly taking notes of experiences, of travels, and taking photos and telling myself 'this needs to be shared, one day'. So, yup 'one day' is now. Timing couldn't be more perfect. I am side-eyeing myself for being a procrastination queen, crown and all.
Two years was too long. My notebook entries are almost filled up, including my thoughts that need to be written down. There are too many new and newly discovered products that I wanted to write about. Restaurants and food discoveries that I have been meaning to share here. So, I guess one restart post will do the trick and hopefully all will flow out from now on. Excuses, be gone haha.
Eottoke eottoke? What to do now? Oh yes, I have been consumed by Kpop, Kdrama... but that is another topic altogether. I am telling you. Here are some suggestions for all of us who are just staying indoors. Perhaps you want to rest your eyes (and those neck muscles) and consider doing these, in between, checking Instagram, Facebook, or keeping abreast with the hourly news update.
Declutter. Konmari.
You can tidy up. You may want to start with your wardrobe, the bookcase, your gazillion shoes, your bag collection.
Clean up your kitchen pantry. Check those expiry dates. Plan recipes for those forgotten herbs and condiments.
Go through your paperwork. Throw those old bills.
Or check our Marie Kondo's site and discover for yourself the systematized Konmari method and 'Spark Joy' in your life.
Start a Journal. Start blogging, vlogging.
Jot down those thoughts. Organize them. Ponder. Reflect.
Or start a Youtube channel, be a vlogger. And monetize your channel. (Not for me though, I am just too shy).
Destress. Restart your old hobby.
Remember before 'adulting' happened? Rediscover your music interest, playlist collection. Reread your favorite books. Rewatch your favorite films or better yet discover new film genres.
Remember all the times you were so frustrated that you are so busy with work and you need to do this and that at home. This is that time. Anyway, I bet you already know that by now.
Let us not forget. Cooperate with your government.
Let us do our share and cooperate with the authorities. Since we cannot physically go out and help alleviate this health problem. Let us leave that to the front liners, health professionals (who are the real heroes! May God Bless them and keep them safe). Let us discover the internet, there are probably things you can do to help out while confined. In our country, there are kind-hearted individuals who are already on it, you can check their story and find ways to help their cause
I totally love this Sam Smith song. It's screams 80s and 90s. I'm sure my fellow GenXers will agree. Lisa Stansfield and Sybil vibin'? Yes? Yes?
