What else is there to do?

The global health crisis has brought almost all nations into community quarantine, and here in Cayman, we are not an exemption. The government has recently mandated a lot of businesses to temporarily close due to the recent developments with the pandemic. As we speak, we have 9 active cases here on island, and the best measures the authority came up with are:

  • Twenty-four (24) hour curfew (we literally panicked buy yesterday because no one is allowed to go out!),
  • Island-wide lock down (airport is closed for passenger planes, only cargo is allowed), and
  • To temporarily shut down non-essential business, causing a lot of employees to be laid off.
And you guessed it right, I was laid off for two weeks with nothing much to do at home. All I did the past few days are read blogs, watch Netflix, cut my hair out of boredom, some yoga, and studied a bit for my driving test. This is also the reason why I did a bit of makeover in my blog and also decided to put up two new pages, the Freebies and Contact sections! I’ve been sort of “blogging” on and off for a few years now and I wanted to share some of the resources I’ve outgrown. I hope it will be useful to new bloggers out there. I also wanted to expand my circle so I signed up for Bloglovin and Bloglist.

My week in summary


I know there is a lot of suffering in the world right now, and the anxiety has been making us stressed, but here I am trying to put a little bit of positivity out there. The idleness has made me reflect on my life and made me grateful for a lot of things especially my health. I am grateful for waking up this morning, for being given another chance to live; and I pray for the world to heal, for the whole human race to overcome this challenge, and for us to reflect and not let greed, money, capitalism, and other supercial things control our lives anymore.

    I’ve never been on a party bus before EVER – so imagine my excitement when I found out that Star FM is hosting a halloween bus party! There are 4 buses, 4 mystery stops (with games & missions), and 1 exclusive after party! Starting point is at the courtyard across the radio station in George Town and where the bus is going?

First task is to take a group photo with the devil (kinda lame but yeah lol). Nobody gave af about the mission,…

    Holidays 2022

    Hi friends! Happy holidays to you and your families ๐Ÿ™‚ The past couple of days has been “ugh” for me. Well it’s the time of the year where you have a long holiday, then work 2.5 days in between, before the long holiday again. So that little break in the momentum ruins the spirit, and I feel like all my co-workers share the same sentiment. lol Christmas eve was sooooo busy. A lot of people were doing last minute Christmas shopping, including me. Can you believe I had to wait good 20mins in line just to have all my gifts wrapped? I should’ve just wrapped it myself! But meh, can’t bother.  We were dismissed early from work so I had to do all my other…

    I’m 30, and married!

    I recently went on a four-week trip to the Philippines, with an exciting three-day stopover in Los Angeles. During this trip, I celebrated my 30th birthday, got married, bought my mom her dream car, and explored a new city. It was a whirlwind of joy and unforgettable experiences. My wedding planning started last May after I got engaged. We needed a year to save money, plan the theme, and organize everything to ensure our loved ones could come. It was a big task that took up a lot of my time, but I loved every moment of it. Planning a wedding in another country had its challenges. The time difference made it hard to communicate with vendors, and the cultural differences in wedding traditions were…

    Toronto Day 1: Arrival, Jollibee, Kimโ€™s Convenience, and CN Tower

    Please read until the end, as I will summarize all the tips I have for you if you plan to travel to Toronto for the first time! We arrived in Toronto at midnight, and it was freezing even though it wasn’t winter yet. We flew with United Airlines, and the flight was good. I was surprised that the airport was more relaxed at that hour. I expected shops to be open and people coming and going, but it had some downtime. Because of the time of year, it was less busy than other airports I’ve been to in the past couple of years. If you’re a first-time visitor to Toronto, choose a hotel downtown like we did. Similar to most big cities, everything is accessible…

  • Happy birthday, my love!

    Happy birthday, my love!

    November 25 is my husbandโ€™s birthday, and this year we decided to take the whole day off just to be together. Nothing fancy or over the top. Just us, spending time and catching up on the things that actually matter. Most of the day was already set aside for his checkups anyway. He was recently diagnosed with type 2 diabetes, and since Iโ€™m pregnant, we figured itโ€™s the best time for both of us to start eating healthier and paying closer attention to our health. He was in the ICU at the end of October because of DKA (diabetic ketoacidosis). We were not aware of his condition. One day I just noticed his sudden weight-loss. He was lethargic so weak, I rushed him to the…

  • Discover Camana Bay

    Discover Camana Bay

    As mentioned in my previous blog post, I recently got a job at my dream company, a Swiss bank. It is located at one of Grand Cayman’s hot spots for tourists, Camana Bay. I remember my first visit there as a tourist, it almost felt like I’m back in Bonifacio Global City. The location is very aesthetic and it houses almost every essential establishment you could think of. There is a bookstore, numerous restaurants and cafe’s, clinics, cinema for leisure, mini gardens for picnic, and ofcourse the Fosters (the grocery store) is just a few steps away.  Definitely, having your workplace there is such a privilege. The entire location has state of the art facilities especially the security and data centre. Most companies there are wealth…
