While checking my Instagram, I’ve found this photo which was taken exactly two years ago at San Juan,La Union - a popular surfing spot here in the Philippines. It was the time when everything was normal, still. I really miss the old times when we can do whatever we wanted (without any restrictions) What do you miss about life before the coronavirus?

@freelancermariagrace Well of course my first time to travel to the US was what I miss the most. They were the first long trip I had and also a very long vacation from work as well. Now it's just very hard to make it as easy as it was before.

@freelancermariagrace I can only do brisk walking because I can't jog anymore. It's my only form of exercise.
