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.

    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…

  • Life lately

    Life lately

    I have been back and forth to the hospital the past few days and I haven’t been feeling my best self lately. I’ve been to the emergency room twice and boy I tell you, how lonely it is to be in a hospital bed alone with all those beeping machines and people in pain all over the place. I even witnessed an ambulance coming in with person who just drowned and soaking wet. Anyway, I’m not sure if my condition is due to stress, home-sickness, or change in weather and fatty foods whatever – but don’t worry I am recovering. One thing I know for sure — medical bills are not a joke so everyone please don’t take your health for granted! and when I…

  • Passing my exams and trip to Toronto

    Passing my exams and trip to Toronto

    I am thrilled to announce that I have successfully completed my Canadian Securities Course and Conduct and Practices Handbook! It was an incredible journey. As part of my job, I have to process trades, so taking these courses was mandatory. It is a major milestone for my career, and I have gained so much knowledge. I am grateful for the support from my workplace in pursuing further education. It took me a total of six months to finish both courses. Although some people manage to complete everything in less time, I wanted to ensure I truly understood the concepts instead of just memorizing for the exams. And let me tell you, it was absolutely worth it! If you are planning to take the exams, here…

  • Halloween 2022

    Halloween 2022

    Hi friends! This is me trying to update my dusty old blog lol. As you all know, halloween is one of my favourite events in the year mainly because I love seeing people dressed up not just in spooky costumes but creative and cute ones as well! And since I’m a fan of Brooklyn Nine Nine’s halloween specials, I incorporated the same idea in my workplace. I recently joined the social committee and immediately took dibs of organising halloween this year. Last year, we had a spontaneous party and awards for best costume and best decor. So I thought of doing the same, but with one more additional competition: Amazing Race – Halloween Edition! I was not given any budget for this social so I…

  • A weekend in West Bay ironshore

    A weekend in West Bay ironshore

    I am a “bayer” now, that’s what they say. Although my daddy was originally from East End, I am spending the rest of my conscious life here on the west side. It is the most populous district on island and “troublemakers” live here. It’s not as ugly as you think it is though, there are a lot of good places (especially restaurants!) you can safely hangout with friends in here. It was a lazy day last weekend so I decided to go to ironshore and just chill. I have been here for more than a year now and to be honest I’m just bored most of the time- that’s why I go out as much as I possibly can. I don’t really have a “passionate”…

  • Life update (finally!)

    Life update (finally!)

    Hi friends! It’s been a while. So many things has happened since I last checked in. First and foremost, congratulations to me – I passed CSC Vol. 1 Exam! I started studying for Vol. 2 immediately after though. I know, boo! It feels like its never going to end bubu!! but I’m giving myself until next year before my wedding to complete my certifications. To be quite honest,  there has been a lot of instances where I question myself…is this really the career I want? It is too late to switch? Don’t get me wrong, the moolah is good…  but it is very exhausting. Sometimes I straight up feel like I’m wasting my life with this. I don’t feel any sense of fulfilment. It’s not…
