The day I was last out of the house was the 10th of March 2020. I was on duty as a standby first aider in a private personal water safety class somewhere in the region. I was also able to join the class because the volunteer instructors allowed us to. I enjoyed it although my body suffered greatly. I broke a fever the following days accompanied by coughing and runny nose just like the symptoms of the corona virus circulating around the net. It turned out to be a pandemic, named covid19 then, after that on 15th of March the whole country was put on lock down. No work, no school, no transportation allowed. You can only go outside to buy necessities in a given time and you need to have a pass.

I was on isolation for 14 days and theres no knowing if what I have was covid or something else. I also did not go to the hospital as I was afraid of going there where chaos is amok. Good thing I have friends who are nurses and paramedics who was constantly checking up on me. Pretty sure I did not catch the virus just had a flu from the extreme strenuous activities I did on March 10.
That day I also bought a new bag and ate outside, the last day I ate outside.

I dont think I miss outside too much but I would love to eat on Mang Inasal for dinner or have Iced coffee and Cheesy Eggdesal for breakfast.

The world is crumbling right now and its not too early to say that our government is failing to combat the pandemic, as of writing we currently have 31k affected and we are top 2 to have this many case in all of southeast asia.

Social media is also not safe these days, theres red tagging and terror bill. Activism is equal to Terrorism these days. And in the other side of the world, they are fighting against white priviledge caused by the man who died in the hands of the police officer for no apparent reason.

I dont know where I stand. I dont even want to stand, I just want to lay on my bed and sleep all day and hope that this all ends or please just end the life out of me because I dont want it. — June 24, 2020
