47 days before Christmas and we are still in the middle of a pandemic. Restrictions in Metro Manila and other places were up to Alert level 2. I hope all people are vaccinated but take note, the vaccines just lessens the severity of the virus.
Check out my lovely sponsors too! Enjoy their articles and your badge can also be included here. :)
The gov't came up with different community quarantine restrictions. From Enhanced Community Quarantine (ECQ), Modified enhanced community quarantine (MECQ), General Community Quarantine (GCQ), Modified General Community Quarantine (MGCQ), to Alert system levels 1,2 and 3.
As of Nov. 5, 2021, the IATF (Inter-Agency Task Force) announced that Metro Manila's restrictions has been lowered to Alert level 2. What's with the Alert level 2 restriction? Here's the link for your reference, https://doh.gov.ph/node/33590
Adults or 18y/o and above who were already vaccinated can be asymptomatic or carriers. Let's take extra care for our love ones who are not vaccinated yet.
I know my family and little had some family time travelled a few days ago but we are still cautious, instead of commuting or going into crowded places we'd rather or should I say we went to open spaces and we rented a car instead so we will not be exposed to different people.
Here are some articles I posted where we went out for a little while:
Please give us days like this - pt. 1

Anyway....
I went out to buy groceries the other day. Usually my friend and I spend a little chicka along with the buying groceries and have snacks. So we bought milktea from Macao, buy1take1, and Takoyaki from our favorite food stand.
Since the restrictions has been lifted o minors, we saw parents and minors going inside the mall.
Well, good thing that the mall is not crowded because it was early. The mall opened at 10am and we were there around 10.30am.
Honesty, I don't know what to feel. Me having a kid myself, have been waiting for the time that she can go out and see other things. They might be buying christmas gifts already HAHAHAA. CHAR! I know it's hard to keep the kids at home. I know I don't have the right to judge them but I hope they didn't stay inside the mall for too long. Besides there's a dog park outside the mall that just opened. I hope they brought the kids there at least to take a look, plus it's in an open space.
Other cities within Metro Manila were just....hmmm...sorry I am speechless. Well, it's also the adults decision to take the kids out but, you know not in crowded places. I am sure that some of you heard the news. Some parks, malls or amusement places opened again. It was pretty scary seing the number of people that was there. I am imagining the same crowded situation most likely in tiangges or in Divisoria cause it's just a few days away from Christmas. It might look like a normal day just like what happened last year.
Just be super duper extra careful, variants are still mutating and Christmas is coming.
I am really hoping that all of this whatever you wanna call it, over.
Let's all have a merry merry merry christmas!

I believe in perfect timing. A pregnancy experience.
Just when you thought it's over, it's not. It was just the beginning

Kahit lumuwag na yung mga restrictions ingat pa din talaga lagi. Safety first po sating lahat. Pero ansaya kasi makakapagbonding na ulit yung mgabrelatives and fam na malalayo makikita na ulit. Hoping and praying for the safety of all talaga.
