Not ideal for me


Before I move along, I hope this post would not taken as me being all whiny and ungrateful about the fact that I’m working from home. If for anything, I’m so thankful to be able to work remotely and still get my usual compensation, when most of my colleagues weren’t as lucky to be given a slot.

Of course, when it comes to choosing between No Work vs. WFH, anyone who isn’t pea-brained would tell you that they’d rather be working from home during this lockdown because at least they get paid. On the other hand, if you’ll ask me to choose between WFH and working in an office, I would choose the latter in a heartbeat.

Not so well, thank you.

Wondering when I'd be out and about again
29 days since the lockdown that forced me to stay home, I might already be experiencing cabin fever. I have developed this overall feeling of malaise, sadness, and uneasiness that I can’t seem to shake off. I never thought I’d have this being a homebody and an introvert; I thought I can move through this quarantine easy-peasy, but this isolation is getting me all “stir-crazy”.

Solidarity through Prayers

Today is Good Friday, one of the most important holidays of the Catholic Church.

Because of the COVID-19 outbreak, mass gatherings related to Holy Week are canceled. The last time this happened was during the war, which means this postponement is the first time in the lifetime of many of us.
