How I Spend My Days In Quarantine (RMO)

I was meant to post this back in late April but I was so distracted with so many good movies that every time I turned on my laptop, I'd ended up watching movies and shows rather than writing a new blog post, and in a blink of an eye, we're celebrating Eid already and Ramadan was history. This year's ramadan will always be special to me.
The first time I heard China was under lockdown, followed by Italy, Spain and the other affected countries not far behind in the 'race', I was like, "this is not happening, this is not freaking Contagion or The Flu." And I thought my country was one of the least affected but I was wrong. I never thought that my daily life is called 'quarantine' because to be honest, this is my life for the past 3-4 years being at home nursing my late mom and now my dad. I miss the feeling of going to work but in this post, I'll not talk about that. I want to share about stuff that I've been doing for the past 2 months of my life amid COVID-19 RMO, MCO, Circuit Breaker or whatever you guys call it in the country that you live in. And here are some of the things that I did during self-quarantine time throughout all phases.

READING

I read a lot during this time because I don't need to babysit my nephew so I don't need to hide my books every time he comes near me because he's always playing with his parent. I get more reading time because of that and I am grateful.

BINGE A GOOD SHOW

Be it on Netflix or whatever online platform that I can access to it. It's one of the thing that I enjoy the most. Even though my brother let me use his Netflix account, I preferred to watch on a bigger screen like my laptop rather than holding my phone to watch all the shows and movies. So I gave up his Netflix and download all the shows and movies that I wanted to watch from a Netflix group in Telegram and watch it on my laptop with ease because I have unlimited high speed mobile data so downloading is efficient to me. As you can see from the list, I'm still in season 1 because I only started watching all these shows during this pandemic. And I don't think I'll ever stop if Netflix is going to create more amazing series in the future.

Current favourite shows from Netflix:

• Never Have I Ever (S1)
• Atypical (S1)

• Elite (S1)
• The End of the F***ing World (S1)

MAKE DALGONA COFFEE

During this pandemic and the rise of Tik Tok app, Dalgona Coffee is a like a godsend to someone who has a very sensitive stomach. This coffee is like a lifesaver and I am thankful for it.

BAKING / COOKING

Me and my family always love to try something new and during this pandemic most of the time we baked. Lots and lots of desserts. You can say that our family ⏤ except for my dad, has sweet tooth.

SLEEPING / BEFORE QUARANTINE DAILY ROUTINE

I slept so much that I get tired even though I just woke up and ready to go to bed again and that's not a good sign. Also I read the Quran at least 2 pages everyday just like any other days.

LEARNING FRENCH, SIGN LANGUAGE & MEMORISING KOREAN VOCABULARIES

Some of you may know that I learned Korean before and it helped me tremendously during our trips and I was quite surprised with myself that I am able to have a conversation with a couple in Busan without sounding like an idiot who blurted out random Korean words like you saw on Tik Tok. But I still need to learn more vocabularies because there are words that I don't understand.
I watched The Silenced with my family and after I watch that movie, I felt like everyone should at least master a basic sign language because you wouldn't know that one day it would be really handy and useful. 
I'm still learning the alphabets and basic stuff. Also, I'm slowly picking up French again. I stopped halfway last year because it was so hard but I really determine to learn basic french. Just enough for me to ask where the bathroom is? and how much is this? haha wish me luck.

MAKE MY OWN STICKERS

Ever since I got my own printer, I can't stop making my own stickers from the printables that was shared by other bullet journalists. I am obsessed with it at the moment. I only use A4 paper and double tape. So far I have used 3 rolls of double tapes. It's a very meticulous process but it's very comforting and helps me relax while watching those shows from Netflix. On the photo above, I made those stickers using my washi tapes and release paper. That's the easiest way. But I will definitely share the ones that I made from A4 paper.

MADE AN RMO VLOG

I made a vlog about all these activities and I must say that I had fun filming and editing it despite it took longer than expected but at least it's up on my channel now. I tried not to make it longer than 10 minutes because as youtube watcher, I hate watching vlogs that is too lengthy and I don't want people to feel that about my vlogs. To those who subscribed or watched it, thank you so much.


So that was some of the activities that I enjoy doing during RMO but I have to be honest, RMO or not it feels nothing significant from my daily life. It feels like any other normal day to me except I have my whole family with me. It's fun and I will remember this moment forever. This is also one of the moment that I will tell to my grandchildren in the future ⏤ if I have one. Anyway, despite the current orders that let us go everywhere except interstate travel, I hope everyone will remain at home and keep a safe distance when you're outside. We can do this. Stay safe, and Eid Mubarak to all my muslim readers/bloggers all around the world. Thank you for reading. Love, Tqa.
