Pandemic Resolutions

Delma Christle C. David

It is just usual that before the New Year starts a new "variant" of; a car, smartphones, gadgets, or fashion is introduced. For 2021, not everybody gets excited to hear a new variant of what 2020 is leaving us behind and that is the New variant of Covid-19! That being said, we’re not yet late to revise our resolution for 2021 and come up with our Top 3 Pandemic Resolution.

1. Safety First. – Facemask and Face Shield are to be worn in any public place at all times plus of course, safe distancing should be observed all the time (did you hear me say all the time?). Not to forget to use the dangling alcohol-keychain on our bags to sanitize our clumsy hands. It's still best to just stay at home if it's not that "important" for us to go outside.

2. Save the Purse. – While we stay at home we get to enjoy the convenience of online shopping but we might be forgetting how this could hurt our budget. As we do not know much yet about the new variant of this Covid-19 and how it will impact our economy; i.e. our livelihood, our jobs it will still be wise to make sure we have that emergency funds and keep track of all the financial advice shared by our "Financial-gurus" - "Buy what you need not just what you want.”

3. Stay Healthy and Nerdy – Making sure we eat healthily, "move healthy", "sleep healthy" and "learn healthily" will keep us thriving for 2021. Time to make better choices in what we eat and burn those extra calories as we move to a more productive year. Not too late to learn new skill/s or relearn our passion to achieve those parked goals of 2020.

Let's get it on! Happy New Year 2021! Hoping and praying that it would be a better year for all of us!
