WednesdayWalk | A Walk in Quarantine

Photos featured are from my collection. Took this photo as I got back from my walk, waiting for rain.

We are on our 11th week of lockdown. It's anybody's guess when things will be "back to normal" here. I get to read how a lot of the world are opening up, and I do wonder what we have done wrong to deserve such an incompetent government.

more vehicles out in the streets

I won't dwell in the drama. Rather, I will focus on what's on hand, and what I could do despite it all. Well, I don't go out every day, as my quarantine pass only allows me T-Th-S schedule. Even then, I try to limit contact with the outside world.

It is interesting, however, to see a bit more people and businesses opening up this past week. We're even getting slow traffic along our street. It's as if everyone is oblivious to the current lockdown. I suppose it's every man for himself. Business folks need to get back to business. Daily wage workers need salary to survive on a day to day basis. Somehow covid-19 poses less threat than going hungry and being penniless for a vast majority of working folks. It is, after all, survival of the fittest.

there's traffic at the corner

The future is filled with uncertainty. I myself am not sure if there is a job to get back to. Bahala na. (translates: whatever happens, happens) I will find a way, I suppose.
