Panic Buying Again

 Our area is placed again under Enhanced Community Quarantine and the people started to stock up on groceries and other essentials. It will just be a week but as if its forever for them. Everyday the number of covid cases are increasing and the government must control the mobility of the people, thus the ECQ. If we are only disciplined enough and following the health protocols there will be no surge. Anyway, its not only here but globally because of the new covid variants. For me, i don't panic nor hoard food items but just pray that this pandemic will end soon.

 

Back to GCQ

 This pandemic is getting worst because of the new corona virus variants.  The number of cases is increasing everyday and the hospitals are now on full capacity. NCR, Laguna, Cavite and other places are back to General Community Quarantine to lessen the transmission. So Dirk is back to a stay at home mode but its for his safety. People are already experiencing pandemic fatigue, thus they forgot following health and safety protocols. I just hope that this government move will further avoid transmission. I was at Nuvali, doing some errands and its again deserted, no more restaurants dine in but outside is ok and take outs. 

Our Mango Tree

 Our mango tree in the new property is now bearing fruits. But the mangoes is the smallest of all varieties called pahutan. Anyway, tending to our mini farm just add to my activities nowadays....

Simple Living

 We recently bought a new property also in St. Raymond Homes just two blocks away from Astrid&Buddy's house. It will be Rose Belle's property and we are going to build a bungalow in it  probably next year after the loan payments. We already start the clearing of the lot and we are going to put a temporary barbed wire fence. At the moment, it will be our mini farm and we are going to plant more veggies and fruits there. Thank God for another blessing.

Here in St. Raymond, we are slowly building friendship with our neighbors. Its a simple life when we are here and what i like most is the low cost of living here...

Foods Cravings

 For the past days, dirk and me craved for korean foods so Bon Chon in Paseo becomes our extended kitchen. In fairness their foods taste good and we even tried their Bingsu, the korean version of Pinoy halo halo. We always have an early lunch to avoid people, its better to be safe. 

Anyway, i also craved for turon, and its a flash back to me when i saw banana and camote que because we used to sell that before when we still lived in sampaloc, manila. Selling viand / snacks is our source of income and i admired my mother for being determined to make ends meet.

Finally, Dirk is very happy because the IATF now allowed  65 years old  to go outside and visit shopping malls.
