how am i lately?

sunset
i am pretty much okay over all (lols)... 

the pandemic is officially two years in a  few weeks from now. it was officially cited by the united nation in december of 2019 as worldwide pandemic but there were few cases already in wuhan a few weeks before that. 

it is a known fact that covid19 will not disappear anytime soon so we need to learn how to live with it as the new normal but cautiously now and onwards. 

i never get infected so far but i'm very much affected by it directly. some people i know got infected and few died. i saw on fb newsfeed some friends tested positive and some lost their loved ones to the disease.

the past two years were challenging in every life's facet - personal, career, family, health, and spiritual 

i always felt that everyday the past two years were just days trying to survive and to hope for the best that each day will turn out well. 

nevertheless, i'd been an spiritual person since i was young. probably losing a father at a young age and trying to piece together the confusion of losing a family member, the sadness i didn't know how to voice out because no words to define it. that grief led me to read the bible. just to seek solace and answer. it made me sadder yet it gave me hope.

Missing Balat

How do you feel losing loved ones? I'm referring to our fur kids.  I've been a cat rescuer for over five years now. It started when I rescued the first kitten I saw along Boni Avenue. He was sitting beside the homeless man scavenging garbage bag for some things he could find to eat or to sell at the junk shop. He was minding his business and unaware of the kitten beside him. I could tell the kitten was waiting for the man to give him some scraps he could spare. I passed by them and I was thinking I will get him after I went back from the supermarket. Luckily he was still there when I passed by so I took him. The rest is good story I can tell. I got a companion for Negra. I named him Balat. He died a couple of years ago. I still fondly remember him. He was docile and love to sleep for the whole day except when time he needs to go out and about. He was grumpy to other male cats. He chose to stay and live outside when I started rescuing more cats.  He only goes home when it is ti...

Beach and Island Destination in 2024

I miss the times when I travel with friends and online acquaintances. I used to travel to a different local destinations. Some were daytrips and some were overnight and some took a few days away from the city. I'm a part of a get together group at Meetup.com since 2013.  I started to join their events and activities so I can be out of the apartment once in a while. I resigned from my office based job and found a gig to work from home in 2013. So to fight my boredom and be able to socialize a bit I joined MTAG, short for Manila Trips and Get Together. The group is one of the biggest in Meetup PH. It grown to 2,800 membership in about 2-3 years it was organized.  I'm super active starting 2013 to 2017 then I kind of rested a while. The group is still at Meetup.com and being maintained by Chris. He is the original organizer and along with other event organizers. As everything slowed down during the COVID-19 pandemic so did the meetup group. Now that everything is picking u...
