I spent February and March in captivity. I am just exaggerating. But in a way, it’s true because I spent most of my time inside our bedroom. I kept away from people and was afraid to go to the market and grocery. My movement was a lot limited.
Now, with the first dose of Moderna vaccine running through my Asian veins, and with more people vaccinated around me, there’s a feeling of comfort. We are able to go out, still with face masks, but not as paranoid when we were in Manila.
I am able to pasyal-pasyal and breathe easy. I go out and smell the flowers.
I just love these quaint and rustic stores.
We stumbled upon a store selling some fancy things for pets. Â Oyen bought a new vest for Mochichi.
Made in USA products are sadly now a rarity in this Chinese-dominated market.
One of my simple pleasures is visiting old downtowns. I get to see a little bit of their own history and despite the progress and modernization, Â I still feel their sense of community.
Oh please people, let’s patronize bookshops. Â Don’t just read online stories. Â I want small and big bookstores to survive till the next century.
I know they are trying to be funny or catchy  but this play of words is not appropriate and I find it offensive to my religion.
I better control myself or else my sugar level will be uncontrollable.
We’re enjoying the beautiful sunshine with a little bit of cold breeze, Â perfect for outdoor or banketa dining. Â #chipotle
