ECQ Again in rizal

So here we are again…

The Metro Manila and nearby areas are under ECQ and of course Antipolo Rizal is one. So we can’t go out again but good thing this time is that the business is still operational in full capacity. So, I don’t have to worry in my team but I have to see to it that they are taking their vitamins to protect them from the virus.

I think the best way to fight Covid is to boost our immune system. Sometimes, I feel depressed because of the things going on…

But my husband told me that I should clear my mind or else I will get sick… so here I am trying to divert my mind into something. Yes, I have a lot of things to do business wise but when I am down, I tend to set my work aside… it really affects me.

I worry a lot lately, particularly the safety of my family and my team. My succulent plants really makes me feel so good and back to my sanity. When a new plants delivered and start planting them, it somehow change my mood. It makes me happy. So, as of now, I don’t have plan of stopping planting.

Most of the time, I am staying at home and just going to the office because staying in the office made me somehow feel better. I got a chance to talk to my team and check their work. Eventhough, we went out, I make sure to wear mask all the time and use alcohol to disinfect. Showering everytime we went back home is important also. We don’t let the kids go near to us when we are from the outside. So this is very important.

So guys, make sure to practice those little things because it will definitely help you and your family safe during this time.

Thoughts

So 2021 came… then suddenly I was shocked of what happened…

Actually, I don’t really know how to open this thing here but as you know this blog is my personal space to express whatever I feel or anything I want to share… So think I should write it here just to release whatever I’ve been carrying since January 3, 2021.

Around 2am, I got a message from the office that one of my leaders died. It was a shocked to me. For minutes, I can’t move, I had chills and I don’t know what to say. It’s hard to believe… it was so painful. He was my leader for more than 2 years and we worked together for that long and I got to know him personally and in just like that he’s gone.

I was deeply affected. For a week, I was grieving and everytime I am in the office, it was not the same anymore. I lost a leader in my organization and this is the first time so I really don’t know what to do. By the way, it is not covid related so there is nothing to worry about health protocol in the office.

It took me a while before everything sinks in. I know he is in a better place now. It will never be the same but I need to be strong for the company. I know as a business owner, I will be strong and be able to step forward fast when something like this will happen but I am only human. Sometimes, I can’t carry it well but I always give myself time to mourn and heal also.

So that’s it.. I finally said it here and I hope this post will somehow lighten the heavy loads I am carrying this past few weeks.

I know I will get over it but for now… I am giving myself time to mourn…
