Opps!
My interest in blogging is waning. Since this lockdown started, there is nothing much to write about. Staying at home is slowly wearing me down. I stopped counting the days since this lockdown. I wonder if this government is telling us the truth. There is a significant spike on the positive cases. Back when there were only around 60, we were told to stay home. Now that they have a total of 16,634 positive cases (3,720 of which have recovered and 942 died), we are now under GCQ (general community quarantine).Those sudden spikes makes one worry. Yes, most business establishments are now open but public utility vehicles are limited to MRT, LRT, AUVs, buses and Grab cars. What about those who still have to take jeepney rides before they could take buses or MRT and LRT trains to reach their destinations? I rest my case, there is no clear provision for those.
Loans left and right but we never see a downward trend on this pandemic. No mass testing is still being done. I presume with that big amount of loans and contribution from the private sector, they could at least show a small flattening of the curve so to speak. Where do those funds go? And the man across the Pasig River is waiting for those vaccines from his BFF in china which they could experiment on the Filipino people. I say, mauna muna sila at mga alipores niya. They say our mortality rate is very low but we are the highest among Asian countries. What a shame!!! A lost life is still a loss most especially to one’s family.
Everything has changed and we call it our “new normal”. Yes of course, you can still get in touch with some family members and friends but it’s kind of different when you get to talk over the phone. Sometimes, it is quite frustrating that you can’t see them personally and hug them. I miss my darling Nate, I miss Nissa and Obet. I miss their monthly visit.
I tried reading a love story in between my serious historical fiction but I could not relate to it anymore unlike in high school when I used to devour M & B. BTW, it might interest you to know that I have at least read a total of 53 books for this year’s challenge. Not bad for someone who has become so lazy the past few days.
