"But miss, I need you to help me to cancel my flight. I can't even transit through Singapore. How do I suppose to go to Osaka then?" 

I can't believe the conversation above between me and the airline's customer service was taken place in February! Today, three months later, when I tried to recall the memories, the conversation felt like a small matter compared to the situation we all are in right now.

Although to be fair, it wasn't a small matter for me at that moment because I also can't cancel my hotel and my train tickets. I saved so much for my Japan spring trip :( It takes me three years to finally be able to go to Japan again after my last trip.

In the end, it's all were being taken care of tho. A week before my flight is scheduled, they told me that I can reschedule my flight for free. My friend who has the same original flight as me didn't get the same treatment. It's weird, isn't it?

Once I let go of everything and let the Divine do its work. It magically works. Funny, eh?

These past three months have taught me a lot. It reminds me that I am a fragile creature, that everything that I've tried to plan carefully could crumble in a second, that I am not a grounded person and that I need to cherish every moment and everyone that I love in this precious life of mine.
The mundane things that I want to do probably are having a cup of coffee alone in my favorite cafe and going to a clothing store to buy a new shawl.

Back then, I take it all for granted, aren't I? I mean, aren't we all? Now, it would be considered a luxury.

How do you guys stay positive amid whats been going on? In my case, I reach out to my loved ones! Phone calls are amazing, and are a great way to stay connected. But seeing someone’s face really can make a huge difference on a phone call. It can lift your mood and make you feel less lonely.

You’re most definitely not the only person feeling worried, scared, bored, or frustrated. It's a good time for a catch-up, so don’t be afraid to make the first move and reach out to someone you haven’t heard from in a while. They’ll probably be very grateful to hear from you. Send them a message and let them know you care.

The last thing for me is to be productive. I made a list of all those things I said I would do but never get round to. It could be sorting out my wardrobe, cleaning up my emails, finishing my books from the last summer (haha, I'm so guilty on this), fixing things around my living space, etc.

These tasks can make you feel productive and give you a sense of accomplishment. Tidying your living space can also make you feel calmer and more positive. But, if you want to take the time off to rest and not be productive, that's fine too. Listen to your body.
