A Reminder
Coronavirus Disease or also known as Covid-19 started to spread rapidly by the end of December 2019. Just few days after my dog died. I know it was hard, but I must move on. He's still in my heart. He became a memory. Maybe I'm just a bad person since I wasn't there when he took his last breath. I wish I was there. I wish I was home. I wish I didn't go to the on-job training. I wish I just stayed with him during the heatwave. There's a lot of things that I wished. I can't take him back now. It was my fault. Just like everyone else who are involved with Covid-19 virus. In this case, I believe that every human should be held accountable with 200,000 plus deaths of people. Each of us are accountable for some bits that are happening right now, and it will be stressful for all of us. In order to ease our stressful situation, we must connect and set a reminder to ourselves that we are not alone. We must love without sex. We must love by showing support. We must love by letting go of the past, non-living and living things that we love. We must learn and let go. Covid-19 had impacted the economy, businesses, lives and so on. There are at least 3 million confirmed cases of individuals that are infected by the Covid-19 virus, and 200 thousand confirmed cases of deceased individuals caused by the Covid-19 virus. There’s nothing much we can in order to prevent the virus from spreading but to take cautious of our actions. These actions mean that, we must protect ourselves and isolate ourselves as much as we can. The only way the virus could be solve is whether our body could take the virus and be able to adopt or through a government being able to find the immunization by using advanced technologies. It might take a time to find the immunization but for sure patience and hard work will be worth it. For the past few days during the quarantine, I had been listening to several types of songs, practicing home workout, did the marathon challenge using zombies run app, fixing my room, re-arranging my room, de-cluttering my room, browsing for some beats, signing up for free online classes, looking through online businesses start up for university students, browsing house designs, binge watching Alux, binge watching ALR weight loss journey, browsing through online challenges in order to win 10k, filming myself fixing my massive curly head, eating a massive amount of foods, sleeping, watch horror movies in Netflix. The list continues and I’ll be honest with myself, it might feel like I’m just wasting my time, but I had learned so much just being by myself and me being stuck inside of the house. If you’re feeling depress or down, always remember that you’re not alone. It takes time in order to recover. It takes a person to train its mind to be strong and tell itself that he/she is a strong person. Never give up. There was a phrase or saying that is still stuck in my head, “Control your emotions. Discipline your mind.” If you know where this phrase comes from, please comment down the section below. During this time, we must be strong for the future to be a better future for us, our future children, pets, grand children, and others who lives amongst us. Whatever that we do right now will affect us in the future. Maybe worst. But we must stay strong and give each other some 5 minutes virtual hugs. People die every day. Animals die every day. People are born every day. Pain might create a new meaning of life. But pain takes time to heal. Please be strong and spread the hugs. If you had lost someone and in need of recovery, I hope that this playlist will help you. I'd created this playlist for me to cry and let go. It may take some time to recover but trust me. You'll be fine. Every one of us needs to be strong. Every one of us need to support each other. You may blame yourself like I do to myself sometimes. The point of this playlist is to connect each of us as a whole community. To support each other and to spread support and love. Please take some time to listen to the playlist that I'd created for you all and me. Feel free to cry and listen. Feel free to think and listen. Feel free to do anything and listen. Keep the positive vibes flowing and take care. Sending virtual hugs…

LOVE IN THE ERA OF COVID-19
I know you’ve felt it. I’ve felt it too. A kind of lingering restlessness that bubbles up when you’ve been inside the house too long. You feel fidgety and weird and your mind wanders all over the place, oscillating between important stuff like the future of humanity to how much sugar was in that breakfast bar you ate this morning.

Kenya's COVID-19 Dilemma
The image of a boy, about two years of age, appears on my phone screen. The boy stares at me for a few seconds, a smile on his face, and then rushes off to the next thing that captivates his young mind, oblivious of the turmoil his father, and the world at large, is going through at that very moment.

What's life after this?
It keeps me up at night. I had so many plans before this pandemic. 1. I planned to improve in school. (Our school doesn't hold online classes due to other students having no internet access.) 2. I wanted to enter college sooner than ever, and now the timetable's gonna change. I wanted so many things to happen in my life and now, maybe all of those plans are gonna wither away.

Same Lemon
there is no doubt about it we have definitely got a huge lemon on our hands, Covid – 19. But it has affected everyone differently. For some they have lost their jobs and are worried about how they’re going to have food on their plate for others they are hunkering down at home ordering stuff and doing projects possibly with income not an issue. Then there’s the essential workers on the front line that are risking their lives in the healthcare industry seeing the affects first hand and being stressed for their own lives and probably taking on a large amount of work and stress without being able to see family. Then there are others that are serving us at supermarkets and food service but not making much over minimum wage but also in a situation where they’re at risk and putting their families at risk. The people that are alone being quarantined are extremely alone seeing posts of family members having fun together and bonding and making them feel even more alone. Since I’m one of them those are the people I’m really worried about today. I think anyone that is with family, friends or roommates needs to think of the lonely singles that are quarantined alone. I find I’m often the one reaching out possibly annoying others because of how alone I am. But it’s because I’m feeling sad and detached and trying to feel connected. Think of your friends that are alone and send them a card, drop a homemade meal by if you cook because meals especially are hard to have alone day after day after day. Flowers can brighten anyone’s day and let them know your thinking of them. Shoot a bowl of lemons for them at this time with a cute note about making lemonade and also hope it’s good digestion. Whatever you can do to brighten someone’s day. Reaching out to someone that’s alone is really important right now. People that are alone or jobless feel the slice is more sour for them so keep that in mind... it may be hard for you, a working single that still has contact through work but imagine the stress for that single friend with the worry for their future and financial security. To them it seems like the lemon is worse and you know why it is. Being aware of that and sensitive to others makes them feel validated more so let them wallow. They’ll listen back but just be sensitive that they might not feel the best if you talk about work maybe keep subjects to things that will make them feel positive instead. Have recipe club where you try new recipes together, book club or a game night with them fun things to take this off everyone’s minds.

3 Women at Walmart Convince Me That We Will Beat COVID-19
I had my first day off since the pandemic started. Our county is under a stay-at-home order to stop the spread of COVID-19, and face coverings are now required. Because my patients do not have masks, I went to Walmart to buy materials so my family can make face covers. I arrived expecting a ghost town. Instead, the parking lot looked like Superbowl weekend.

confessions of a self-isolating teenager
In light of Covid-19 being a phenomenon that shook the world to its core (again), most people seriously took self-isolation and quarantine for those affected. In weeks, we have seen the measures governments from different countries have taken for the safety of its citizens — from maintaining a distance of two meters away from each other queuing up in our nearest supermarkets, take up one form of exercise a day outside, and wearing masks when going outside of our buildings (though some people still don’t believe to wear them, I do not understand). Even so, as an introvert who likes spending time alone, being isolated isn’t all so different from being outside in the world.

Thanks, Corona. Not.
As you all may know, the Coronavirus is affecting millions of people. I'm very thankful for my family, friends, and me not contracting it (as of now... cross our fingers and knock on wood). I would like to complain though and vouch for the ones fortunate enough not to have the virus, but unfortunate enough to still be affected from it. With my own experience of this pandemic, I welcome you to my rant page.

Without Social Distancing, Hospitalization Rate would Explode and Break more than our Healthcare Systems. Electrical Grid, Infrastructure and other Workers are also Vital
Photo by Jeanne Menjoulet Social Media, ranting with your friends and all the talking heads, the news is unavoidable. For sanity purposes, I’m trying my best to separate from the downward cycle. Unfortunately, one narrative truly disturbs. It says the shutdown of the country is an elaborate exaggeration for the purpose of unseating the President in November. Somebody should tell that to the 47,000 dead Americans, but there is another aspect that protestors are overlooking.

This Too Shall Pass
Life is tough right now. There's no question about that. We're living in unprecedented and uncertain times, and all we can do is plow on and do our best, wait it out, stay safe, stay at home, keep our distance, take care of our mental health as much as our physical health, reach out to each other and adapt to socialising via video, calls, texts, letters, to keep the loneliness at bay.
