As what the local government promised, they gave us relief goods today. The good thing is we didn't need to go out. The local barangay unit delivered them house to house. It was a surprise moment to have today. Did you have a big surprise today?

No surprises here, we call the volunteers and they go shopping, but we pay.

@LadyDuck I don't know what to think right now. But it seems things are getting worse. Hopefully, things will be fine soon.

I wish our own Barangay is doing the same. Somehow we are still wondering where the Captain squeezed into.

@Mamerto32 I just received a message from my friend in Quezon City and he claimed the same thing. I felt bad seeing some bad news about his place.

@Shavkat yup, my buddies living in other parts of Manila are hearing the same complaints. And worst, we still got people venturing out despite of the lock-down. They don't fear the Barangay Captain unfortunately.

Prior to this surprise for today, I also had some groceries last Monday. It was so tiring because I need to walk while having the goods in my backpack.

In fact, I wasn't expecting that they will do this. Since some of the places in my country, they haven't had these goods.

It seems like the lockdown was implemented there too. Be careful there, my friend.

Nope, no surprises here. I usually pick up groceries when I get off work and take them home with me.

It sounds like there's no lockdown there. I guess your place is NCOV free at present. Am I right?

@Shavkat *sigh* Lockdown here started at 12:01 am today. (Just over two hours ago.) I haven't explained to Pretty yet that she's no longer allowed to accompany me to the grocery store(s) here. The rule (actually, a new law that was passed this last Friday) that is now operating is one car, one person into a grocery/pharmacy/essential business. (And no, a second person in your household isn't allowed to drive a different car so they can join you in the business. As a matter of fact, trying that and get caught, you get fined!) My state has the fastest growing confirmed cases of coronavirus.

@Shavkat I am glad you did not have to go out. No, I sat on the porch yesterday and saw people out and about and some were distancing themselves and others were holding hands and walking close. This whole thing is very sad.

I heard about your country lately. Is everything being controlled now? I'm glad that it doesn't need to go out.

@Hannihar I heard that your country is having lockdown now. Am I right? We really need to do social distancing.

@Shavkat I was out on my porch on Saturday and saw people out holding hands and also walking next to each other. If people do not take the rules seriously then we will get stricter ones. We can still go out to the pharmacy, grocery store.

It was our first time to receive it. I hope the other fellowmen could have them.
