Staying home for more than two months now. I don’t know, since the enhanced community quarantine, I’ve been reluctant to go out even just at the nearby talipapa two streets away from our house inside our subdivision. It is where we buy our food, necessities in the kitchen like pork, chicken and other veggies. I learned to transact online the last two or three weeks and they deliver them here right at the gate. Eggs are sold by trays (30 pieces). Many homeowners have become small entrepreneurs providing necessities to homeowners who don’t want or cannot go out because of the lockdown. You can order cooked food for lunch or dinner along with different kind of snacks on the go. Most of them deliver for free but when you order from a different place aside from our town via Grab Food, delivery fees are included in your bill. But that is just to be expected since they spend time outside risking their health to go grocery shopping for you or to buy cooked food from open establishments that only provide take-out, no eating inside their places. Just have enough cash at home to meet your needs.
I miss going to the church and attending Sunday masses. Although masses in different churches are held almost every hour online via live streaming, you cannot go to communion and I miss that. There is a talk that they will extend this lockdown for another two weeks, I am all for it but barangay and local town mayors should also be strict in its implementation. So many people are still on the streets. So many people still go out every day.
It’s getting harder to imagine when we start to begin life “normally” again. Until they find vaccines for this virus, we are left thinking how many days more we have to get through this “new normal” aspect of our lives. I want to share with you this photo I took nine years ago when we celebrated Mother’s Day. It’s of Nissa and Josef, now we have Nate.
Keep safe friends! Be mindful of your health 🙂
