The Quarantine Blues by Deborah Anastasia Gomez https://padlet.com/debbyanagomez/t2f0n7so1fp6mb1t Made with a bold sensibility en-us 2020-08-11 10:03:18 UTC 2025-04-13 15:01:16 UTC hello@padlet.com debbyanagomez https://padlet.com/debbyanagomez/t2f0n7so1fp6mb1t/wish/675442361 Hey Covid 19! Look at what you've done! We can't go anywhere without wearing our mask. We can't even hug our friends that we really miss.]]> 2020-08-11 10:05:35 UTC https://padlet.com/debbyanagomez/t2f0n7so1fp6mb1t/wish/675442361 debbyanagomez https://padlet.com/debbyanagomez/t2f0n7so1fp6mb1t/wish/675443012 But now, look at what you've done, you put us behind the bars of our windows. We can't do anything but to peek from it just to see what's happening outside. It was like we've been imprison by unknown entity, fighting against someone that we can't even see.]]> 2020-08-11 10:07:18 UTC https://padlet.com/debbyanagomez/t2f0n7so1fp6mb1t/wish/675443012 debbyanagomez https://padlet.com/debbyanagomez/t2f0n7so1fp6mb1t/wish/675444406 In fact we can't even go outside at all. I don't think I can remember the last time I saw this many trees. I miss how lovely the birds sing, how relaxing the soft wind blow, and how our stress get away with just watching this trees dance.]]> 2020-08-11 10:11:25 UTC https://padlet.com/debbyanagomez/t2f0n7so1fp6mb1t/wish/675444406 Travel plans are cancelled. And I could not believe how fast the tables have turned. We could not even go out and ride on tricycles and jeepneys, let alone be on a plane. I was even looking forward to travel to more places this year, even if it was just one hour drive or a hundred mile journey. debbyanagomez https://padlet.com/debbyanagomez/t2f0n7so1fp6mb1t/wish/675541943 2020-08-11 12:48:30 UTC https://padlet.com/debbyanagomez/t2f0n7so1fp6mb1t/wish/675541943 I don't understand why all of this is happening. But these past few months, I have learned to see the bright side in everything, despite how dark and gloomy our current situation is. Over a hundred thousand COVID cases in the Philippines, but I am still alive and breathing. That alone is a very wonderful gift. debbyanagomez https://padlet.com/debbyanagomez/t2f0n7so1fp6mb1t/wish/675545695 2020-08-11 12:52:00 UTC https://padlet.com/debbyanagomez/t2f0n7so1fp6mb1t/wish/675545695 I was looking forward for the year 2020. I was one of the people who wished for prosperity this year but everything goes down the drain. I never expected that such tragedy will be experienced this year. All plans were cancelled, gatherings and social events were all put on hold. We are experiencing something we are unprepared for. But what can we do? Maybe if we have been more grateful we might have been able to change this but no, all we can do now is to pray and believe that this will come to an end. debbyanagomez https://padlet.com/debbyanagomez/t2f0n7so1fp6mb1t/wish/675749401 2020-08-11 15:01:54 UTC https://padlet.com/debbyanagomez/t2f0n7so1fp6mb1t/wish/675749401
