I start wearing mask March 13, 2020. We are required to wear a mask at the office and the start of the historical ECQ is March 16, 2020. I am not comfortable locking my breathing that should be free. We are breath, we put in nitrogen and oxygen. This helps the blood and work on our cells. When we breathe out, we put out carbon dioxide. Carbon dioxide comes from the waste in our body and it should put out. Remember when you exerciseor move a lot, you breathe out heavily because your body is putting out carbon dioxide. If you are wearing mask, it is still can be done but with a little difficulty. That is the reason why we need a comfortable mask to help us breathe and still be protected.
Disposable Face Mask
This is my very first face mask. During that time, I thought this is just a recommended if you don't have an N95 mask. N95 mask during that year was quite expensive. Even the disposable mask itself became expensive because some sellers took advantage of the situation that is why our company provides for their employee a supply of masks and vitamins.
Disposable mask is very convenient and comfortable but there are times I find it boring to wear the same color. I browse through Lazada and Shopee and found out there are different colors. I like colorful things sometimes so when I saw there are yellow, pink, red and green, I bought it all.
I failed to take a photo of the other colors. I only have the photo the orange one. It fits my shirts because of the color combination. I have pink t-shirt so when I am wearing it, I partner it with my light pink disposable mask.
During the time that I've had Covid, my A1 Philippines family gave me an A1 mask. It brings comfort to me because I felt I'm not alone iny Covid battle and A1 is really my favorite boyband so, it was a Happy feeling wearing it.
The A1 Mask
After this one, I have lots of face mask. I have the cloth mask that I see every day being sold on the street. To help the other people with their income, I support them even if I am not wearing it, though at home, I wear some when I have cough. My favorite amongst the cotton mask is the picture below.
Washable Cloth Facemask
I bought it from Lazada. It cost PHP 57 for each colors. My favorite is the yellowish orange color. I told you, I like colorful things. It only reminds that I got bored in my daily routine. I do this thing with my gel pens too. I have variations of colors.
Those cloth face mask are washable. They do not become thin after certain wash. My only problem is that some of it are sticking on my mouth and nose and I can't breath anymore. I need to put it below my chin if I am not with other people. From that experience, I do not use it anymore at work. I only use it when I am coughing because of the weather but when I am at home.
KF94 Mask
One time, while browsing Instagram, I saw Song Joongki, one of my favorite Korean actor wearing this mask. His is color black though. It looks good on him so I checked online if this is available here in the Philippines. Yes it is. It has a wide variations of colors as well. My dingers became itchy of clicking the word "buy" and I bought black, gray, orange, pink and blue. According to my office mate, all the colors fits on my face.
I don't have pictures with me of gray and black, I only had orange and blue and it looks good. I love these colors.
This one looks yellow, but I ordered it as Orange. See, I'm wearing a yellow blouse so I match it with the same color. I think I look good with that kind of color. I think my color is really yellow! But I'm not "dilawan" okay? Lol.
With Kf94 mask, sometimes I cannot breathe. I need to lower the mask down to my chin to breathe comfortably. It looks good on the face and the mask doesn't stick to my lips. If I am wearing a lipstick, the shade will not stick to the mask.
This Is the blue one. I wear the blue color one when I am wearing my uniform at work. I am wearing my uniform on that picture and it looks cute and neat. I influenced some of my office mates upon wearing this one so they bought the same to. I remember seeing some of them wearing the same.
The latest we are wearing now is N95 mask. It is required in the office now because of the increasing number of cases due to delta virus.
N95 mask are the recommended mask because it will really protect you from the virus plus you can breathe comfortably. It has three colors ready, white, black and grey. It is lightweight but it is thick and has available sizes for kids too.
3D Mask
My latest purchase is the 3D Mask. I bought the pink one but it has various colors as well. If N95 is lightweight, this one is a 2ply mask that is 2x the lightweight of disposable mask. The mask is thin. It feels like I'm not wearing anything. I like this one from all the purchases I had when it comes to mask. However, I am not sure when it comes to protection. I still go with N95 mask for protection.
Mask is a Must
While we are still on pandemic and we have never ending cases on virus infection, wearing a mask is a must. It is mandatory. Since I already hug the idea and I have no choice, I rather reinvent to enjoy wearing it that feel irritated. Thanks to the affordable mask everywhere on online shopping sites, we can select and collect. We are protected and we enjoy wearing it. I am still open to new style of mask. Hoping to have lots of addition to them.
I am a Facial Mask, Addict, lol.
I want to say thank you guys for your word of support of my last Night's post, titled I am Not a Writer. This friend apologise for her response on me. I only saw it my messenger but still not opening it. I never thought there are lots of you that felt the same.
I believe everyone has their chance to improve their writings. There is always a room for improvement so I will just continue to write and learn more.
When pandemic hit the country, my mom sew us a cloth mask. And since then, she never stops sewing for us.
