Just last week there was a confirmed case here in our city. Although this isn't the first for my country, it's the first for us here. I live in one gigantic archipelago of a country but somehow, it managed to spread here because this patient came home from the capital and that's where the virus is circulating. Last I heard though the patient's recovering well so that's a good sign and I hope they'll recover fully.
There's no lock down in our city because our local government weighed the pros and cons of the lock down. However, social distancing is still heavily implemented and a lot of the authorities check up areas and establishments to ensure if people are following the rules. Checkpoints for every boundary. Staying at home also only applies to those who can bring their work at home, part of the reason why the lock down isn't a thing. There are workers who need to go to their designated workplaces. I just feel so bad especially for those who need to work paycheck to paycheck.
The streets are quiet here after 9PM because we got a curfew now. Unless you're commuting from work, you can show your ID. Or if you went for late-night groceries/necessities, you're allowed to ask and then you can show your receipt if you're asked while you're on the way home.

Review: Sweet Temptation by Cora Reilly
( what i've been up to )
- Classes are suspended for me because of the pandemic crisis and will "likely" resume on April 14. That's a tentative date because who knows what will happen then. But I got online classes so... I'm still not totally not busy. And I'm also working from home so there's that.
- My sleep schedule's also a mess. Lately, internet connection's pretty good around the evening to the earliest hours in the morning. My online classes don't need lectures (we all have a mutual agreement not to do it) but we are required to submit plates and papers on a specific deadline. So I sleep around 9PM and I wake up around 1-2 AM. Sometimes I don't sleep until 4AM and then wake up around 6-8AM to do some work stuff. I sleep A LOT around 1-4PM though. A roller-coaster. (I live in a GMT+8 timezone)
- We celebrated my mom's and cousin's birthday yesterday and the plan was to have dinner outside with mom's side of the family (my cousin's from that side too) but due to this pandemic, we all stayed home and just ordered food instead. There are so many rules being implemented and a lot of our favorite restaurants are closed anyway. Still good, it was still fun. Reconnected with many of my relatives (we're a very tight-knit clan) because most of us are staying home at the moment.
- My family isn't part of the panic-buying squad because there's no lock down in our city. But everyone's advised to have only one member of the family to go out if they're going to buy groceries/necessities to avoid crowding.

How are you today? I hope you're staying safe. Wash your hands, wear a mask (and gloves if you can) when out in public, stay home if you have nothing important to do or go to. I know these aren't much at all because it could still strike even the cautious/healthy ones but please take every preventive measure that you could possibly do for the sake of yourself and the people around you.
