We just lazed around yesterday and stuffed our faces with food. I was alternating between reading a book and watching Youtube videos. Sleeping in between. Lots of sleeping. We can’t go anywhere as some friends have reported on social media, going from our town to the next town northwest took at least two hours. That’s just more or less 10 km. Our highway was clogged with cars of families going in and out of hotspring resorts. I don’t want that kind of stress when I need to recharge.

So going to Tagaytay for some cool weather feels is out of the question. It’s bedlam out there.

I’m supposed to do some advance writing today because tomorrow I will be editing stories from China and Japan (and probably a little bit from SEAsia since our Vietnam reporter didn’t go on leave). There would be a little window left for writing and I don’t want that.

I woke up to Kimchi sleeping on the pillow beside my head, while Sushi was at my foot. It’s lovely to wake up to clean, fluffy pets who seek comfort in me. ❤️

I’m just collecting my will power to get out of bed and start refreshing my work desk.
