I haven’t been able to after my birthday because my jowa and I wanted to focus on our relationship more. CHAROT KALA MO TALAGA SIKAT EH. But srsly, we’ve been always together since I got pulled out from my client last September 7. Isang buwan na lang aalis na ulit sya. Kaya ayun, I haven’t been able to pull up tumblr and share some life updates. So here goes the first!

Last September 7, I got pulled out from a client. Ayaw na daw nya ng service ko. Grabe ang bilis - after 5 months, inayawan ako? Wow. Ang dami kong leads pero wala daw kasi syang nacoclose na contracts from me.. I got them, I think you better challenge your callers.. Sir.

Ayun, THEN - 3 of my cousins got tested positive for COVID 19. Heck ---- I was the only runner of our compound. Needed to find medicines from pharmacies all over the town and cities - and then my jowa and I decided to stop sleeping at our house first to avoid the possibility of getting COVID. Kasi isang compound lang kami - although malayo yung bahay nung mga pinsan ko from ours, we still had to make sure. Since paalis na nga din sya this October.

SO - ending, I resigned from the company I was working from after getting pulled out from the client, then decided to look for a job. And I did. However, I’m still waiting for interview updates.. Daming nirefer sakin nung colleagues ko from the company I worked from before, so goods yun. But I decided to go for becoming a MEDVA instead of REAL STATE VA again. Feeling ko mas okay performance ko if medical field pa rin ako. Waiting for interview na lang ako. Ulit.

After a week - last week, Wednesday, nag date kami ng bf ko somewhere in Lipa. Kinabukasan (Thursday) he had a runny nose. Sabi nya, baka kasi dahil uminom sya ng cold water pagkapasok ng bahay nila, then immediately opened the ac kasi ang init daw. Tapos nung gabi may konting ubo daw sya. Sabi ko dalhan ko sya ng gamot agad kinabukasan. Pero ayaw nya. Okay lang daw sya.

Friday (last week), nag video kami and inuubo na sya nung gabi. I was so worried kasi iba ang sound ng ubo nya. I told him pupunta ako kinabukasan para magdala na talaga ng gamot. Kasi I know I had to. Pumayag na sya.

Saturday, bumili ako ng water kettle. Lagi kasi syang nahihiya sa kuya nya humingi ng warm water kasi nag aalaga ng bata. Gusto din nya ilessen ang contact nya sa kuya and other family members nya para if ever COVID daw, hindi sya makakahawa. So I bought him one. I also bought fruits like kyat kyat, apples, included some lemon in it. Then the medicine for sipon. Also bought some breakfast (mami and his favourite sausage egg mc muffin), and alcohol.

Sunday, he messaged me worrily and told me na wala syang maamoy. Pero wala syang sipon and ubo. WHICH MADE ME REALLY WORRIED AND TOLD HIM TO PACK HIS THINGS AND LEAVE THE ROOM, AND GO TO THE APARTMENT. Kasi walang nakatira dun sa apartment nila. I brought him masks and then I got antigen testing. I came out negative naman.

Reblogged from D. G. Kaye:

Welcome to the first of May’s Q and A author features, today I’m excited to have friend and author Judith Barrow over to share some of herself, her writing and her powerful new book, which I can’t wait to sink my eyes into – The Memory. Judith writes historical fiction and family sagas, like her Howarth family books series, and has taken a different approach with her…
