Easy Workout Videos. Enhanced Community Quarantine Day 19.

April 2, 2020. Thursday.

Still on Enhanced Community Quarantine. Day 19. What are you guys up to, in between eating and talking about food, and praying that this will all be over soon? Well, since we all turned into health buffs because of this health scare, I included working out into my daily routine. I have always wanted to go to the gym but the realities of life always gets the best of me (I am just lazy) and it has been years that I have been putting it off (as in super lazy haha). But since we are confined to our homes with nothing to do, we might as well include a daily workout routine. Bless those who are really into working out,  sadly I am not one of those folks. Luckily there are very easy workout videos available on YouTube. I swear if I can tolerate a 7-minute vid so can you right?

Here are two very easy clips. I am not into the challenge, the promise of a flatter tummy or leaner arms...I just wish I can really do this every day. If it turns out that way is already a bonus. Whatever motivates you, do it! Whatever works for you is best.

Well, there are lots but we can all start with the easiest vids. More quick and easy vids at Lucy Wyndham- Read YT Channel. We do not want to get so overwhelmed with working out, so let us all take baby steps, shall we? It is pretty simple, we can all start with 14 minutes per day to 'move it, move it' and who knows maybe we can all adapt this healthy habit into our lifestyle. Let us all get our hearts pumping and sweat it out a few minutes any time during the day (or night since we all have the time in the world during this quarantine). Yes, in between snacking haha, daily chores, working from home or while we are watching the news, we can all do this, yes? yes?

You can of course work out while listening to your favorite music. I myself turns up the volume to my Super Junior Timeless Playlist, starting with 2YA2YAO  while I do this simple workout.

Love my KPOP Kings, Love SuJu! But that is another whole post altogether. And just like that its Friday again tomorrow. Another weekend.

Amidst this pandemic, let us not forget to pray for our situation to get better. We are all in this together as humankind. Let us not forget that with cooperation, being united, and fervent prayers, nothing is impossible. Peace and Love. Zee.

Restart. Amidst COVID-19 Pandemic.

Mood: Mixed. Energized yet bored. Day 4 'Enhanced Community Quarantine' due to COVID-19.

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?
