LOCKDOWN 2020

I finally got the good news after two months of lockdown: I could resume work again. Yay!!

Exactly March 16, Tropic Pines was officially on lockdown. Everything was a blur to me. The world has slowed down. But people were in panic buying. Hoarding, even! Not a drop of conscience to some. I told myself to focus. But I was distracted of the fact that there is no work for me in the coming months. No transparency, whatsoever. On top of everything, I am more worried of my OOTD's. LOL.

HOME IS WHERE MY REFUGE

My coffee intake has shoot up! Stronger this time. Anxiety sets in. I had no idea where to begin. Vague. So many weird thoughts came flooding in. Days went by, but finally on the third week, I was able to enjoy life at home. I began re-arranging around the house. I have a lot of chairs. LOL. I introduced something new to my place. Yup, 'greens' everywhere. Some plants were given by neighbors. It has somewhat evolved in the process, I planted vegetables that are easy to grow in pots.

To make the story short, the 'blooms' in the apartment gave me the calm.

NOT SO GREAT EXPECTATIONS

The world has changed, dramatically. Truly, a global crisis. Worsening financial conditions. The retail market were not spared. Essential goods were of top priority to many. Who am I to complain with the (retail) sales downturn.

One of the biggest impacts has been the reduction in passenger transport demand. Many have been resorted to go to work 'by foot'. There are re-routing of buses. In contrast, passenger transport is often optional. Work from home is encouraged. Thus delivery services demand is high. This 'New Normal' scheme may take sometime for us to live by.

But I know, we will survived this pandemic. Taking comfort too of the fact that nothing is permanent.
