6 Years Ago at the Height of the Pandemic

By July 2020, we had gone through different versions of the "circuit breaker". We were stuck in Singapore and continued to work from home. It was the busiest time for our team and I had to find ways to shake off the stress. 

Our usual stress busters which included going to the mall, dining out, and walking around were limited. Like everybody else, I turned to home hobbies. 

I tried making Dalgona Coffee -

Baking -

I even tried making Filipino bread, like pandesal -

Cooked our own food -

Of course, I also tried my hand at growing veggies!

One thing I wished we had back then? Miggy. We were separated for almost two years. 

And, it would have helped also to have a pet. My plants though served the gap.

My respiratory therapist told me earlier to be careful. COVID-19 cases are increasing again. That's why I still wear a mask when we go out. My cardiologist has reminded me to stay away from trouble.

Throwback Thursday: When We Came Back Home

Four years ago during the pandemic, Sweetie and I went back home. I just remembered because Google Photos reminded me about it. All I remember is we were very tired since we had to pack up everything in our place and we were still packing until a few hours before our flight. I don't remember what I ate in the plane since I fell asleep even before we took off, haha. 

Our quarantine stay was cut short. We just rested and the only highlight of the stay was watching Gabby's wedding online. I cried as soon as I got home because I finally got to hug Miggy. We didn't see him for almost two years and just communicated online.

For the next week we were home, we ordered everything we missed. There was still a lockdown back then, but things were easing up. As soon as we completed another five days at home without any illness, we went to see my Mom. It was a very happy reunion, since we could only communicate with her via her landline. 

Going home during the pandemic was very hard and costly. I'd do it all over again since being with family is important. My doctors were very worried and sent me home with months worth of medication to make sure I'd be okay. I only went to see a doctor when my meds finally ran out. 

Here's our vlog when we went back home :)
