Hi, everyone! Hope you’re all okay today. I’ve been feeling stressed and anxious since last night. I didn’t even get proper sleep. Today was supposedly my rest day but since last night’s late announcement of MECQ here, I had to clock in and wait for the emergency meeting that I was sure to take place any minute. With the COVID situation in the country, I just can’t help but feel so hopeless. Whatever kind of quarantine you call it, if there is no concrete plan to address this, nothing will change. We wasted months of quarantine. What a waste of resources and time. I’m so frustrated and angry and all I really want to do is curl up into a ball and read. But even that is making me feel guilty. I’m lucky because even with MECQ and reduced number of working days, I will survive. I have food, I have shelter, I can spend the day without thinking if I can afford to live the next few days. What about those who can’t? What about those LSIs, those who are scared to be COVID-positive but will have to still work and go outside? What about those who have other diseases and ailments but the hospitals can’t accept them anymore??? What about them? I don’t really know anymore. Sorry I blabbered. It’s just.... UGH. Anyway. Hope you had a better Monday than millions of Filipinos everywhere. — The Eye of the World: First Book in a Series for #MyFandomObsessionsAug20 #MapMonday for #RFABAugust20 — #courtoffives . . . . . . #bookstagram #bookstagramph #bookstagrammer #booksph #bookworm #bookwormph #bookstagramphilippines #bookstagramlife #bookstagramfeatures #readingnation #readsandwanders #like4like #bookphotography #vscoreads #goodreads #bibliophile #ipreview https://www.instagram.com/p/CDbboylg4Gj/?igshid=1s834yyeyjxyg
