Quarantine extended until the end of the month.
This is a real eye-opener.
I know exactly where I should be, what I should be,
except what would I would be after all this is all over.
We're all of seven sharing only 30 square meter of space,
and we have to keep our sanity for at least 23 more days.
For a couple of introverts and 5 nerdy kids, quarantine posed no problems.
Two have works at home, the other 2 are doing their thesis, and the other one with Lala Move.
We were used to using our time the way we wanted, no time schedule for meals and sleep, but always ready set everything aside to watch movies together. Movies have always been our bonding moment. We usually watched movies that I have seen before and its my chance to share with the family a piece of things I learned and I could serve them food I prepared myself. Nothing beats a good served meal to get into your children's heart, that I could guarantee.
"Laughter could not add years to your life but it could add life to your years."(unknown)
Wish I could tell you how weird my kids's brand of humor are, but its ripe in the family. In times like this, our future hanging in so thinly, I need not explain to them that life could never be the same again. Death will take a few, but the fear will always be with us of another outbreak. The real threat would be from the "carpetbaggers", the so-called "ambulance-chasers" and "manipulators" who will take advantage of the chaos this pandemic caused.
Life would never be the same
Like travelling in a road at night
You only get to see how far your headlights beam
But slowly and surely if you keep going, you'll get to reach
where you're heading ...
At 60 years of age, what more could I ask for ?
Another 10 years after the quarantine would be a splendor
Things would be difficult, we may even lose some, maybe even more
But that is life, sometimes you become rich, sometimes you become poor
This time things changed in a flick of a finger
Danger lurks everywhere, it can be just around the corner
It is no longer our call, its a matter of fate and destiny, try not to worry
When life gives you lemon, make lemonade, if ever we survive, that's one hell of a story
My wife asked me if I am happy ...
I don't know I said, life's at times have been rocky
I asked her if she's happy, and she said why wouldn't I'd be
Life's been rough, we dwelled in misery, with little or no luxury
But there were some unforgettable moments of unknown feelings of ecstasy
Some little miracles that dampened the pains, even after we lost everything
The same kind of hope and faith kept us going, a dream for our children
The love never wavered, never waned, happiness despite the pains
One thing sure I said in all honesty, if ever I be in another time,
in another life, in another place, if I have the same heart
I would probably be looking for her again ...
She smiled and said ...since you've told
me how beautiful I am, though I never thought I am
the next time I'll make sure I'll never be
blind again ...
