Day x of quarantine. Yes that is what everybody is saying. I didnt lost count. I wasnt actually counting. Isnt this the first time when all people are mandated not to go out in order to live. It looks simple as it is but as more days pass, I feel like, for real, in order to live, we have to stay home.
I recently bought a new bag. I took hours to carefully pick the one where I can hide my phone while walking on the streets with it, a backpack worn how it should be worn - sa likod. I usually take my time in Watsons reading every product and choosing what my skin and hair needs. I schedule a half day on a weekend to spend on my parlor to have my hair done. I make sure I dont use the same shampoo in a month so my hair wouldnt get used to it and stop being smooth. Im addicted to hair conditioners. I relieve my stress sometimes on picking earring varieties from online shops before I sleep. I plan my outfit like on a monthly basis. No two same outfits within 2 weeks, make that three. I, I recently got addicted to close sandals. Im about to hoard another three pairs before all of this happened. Im like, contemplating, which should I use for weekend strolls, for church, for daily use in the office. Which will look minimal? Which will look classy? I need shoes!!! I just hoarded Etude House Eyebrow Pen online since all EH stores are closing down in PH and EH is my only buddy. I felt lucky that I didnt need to spend more on makeup and perfume since theres a lot from pasalubong so next, pano natin gagamitin at uubusin lahat to? There are a lot of recently opened milk tea shops near. I placed a number of desgner casings for my phone in my cart since it is 1 year already. Like it is that important.
Now all these things makes no sense at the moment. We only struggle to wait and survive. Poor or rich people, everybody seems scared. We realized what only matters in this world. Health. Security. Salvation. To Live. Life itself.
And of course, being with people important us, those we want to keep. in this situation.
Right now, what is important to do is to hope, WIth that hope, we pray, We pray to the only One now who has the power to end this life thief.
Me, some of the things Im most thankful for is the gift of TIME and REST, especially for our parents.
And yes, peak at the sky! It is crystal clear. Mother Earth is healing somehow. I hope we all too.
You have your time now. I hope you use it on what matters!
