As we all know, COVID-19 outbreak dominates our news and worries. Feelings of fear and anxiety over conditions that might just get worse. We are afraid of things not seen. We prevent but there is a feeling of being unsure whether what was done is right. Will it be contained?

The world is currently in chaos.

Some people say that Corona Outbreak is something big that has been planned. A handful of people were surprised to see that this had been predicted by both The Simpson and Akira written in the 80s.

Regardless of all these conspiracies, the positive thing is that we are becoming more aware and practicing really good hygiene than our version late last year, especially me.

The existence of coronavirus which has now become a pandemic creates concern for most people. I google all the things I need to do and update the daily news. Some habits also gradually began to change. One of them in terms of cleanliness which is a top priority at this time. I mop the floor of my room daily, literally every damn day. I clean the dust in the corner and that sort of things. Besides that, I add some items in my pouch too. Not only beauty items such as lip balm, bandage, lip gloss, and face paper, but also sanitizer. One is not enough. I have two: one for my hands, and the other one for the toilet. I wipe everything. The last thing necessary about practicing good hygiene is to wash our hands for at least 20 seconds to prevent the virus from entering our body via our mucous membrane. In other words, try to avoid touching our face, mouth, nose, or eyes.

Being clean now is a must. Being respectful towards other people is an obligation. I wear mask when I feel sick and try to not affect other people. I also keep a distance from people who are coughing or showing symptoms. However, that habit without us realizing causes quite disturbing conflict. People will think that we are being selfish and disrespectful because we act reflexively like closing our nose and keeping our distance. The mindset becomes reversed. We keep our distance not because we think that the person has coronavirus but we just try to prevent it. Those are two different things. At times like this, it is imperative to get rid of bad thoughts and try to respect whatever people do to make them feel comfortable. Again, the world today is full of uncertainties and we are trying to survive.

Other things that change are the foods that I consume. It is about my diet. I do eat junk food a lot. Fried chicken with sambal matah, deep fried banana crispy, and almond croissant are still amazing. However, right now I am trying to reduce it. Here are things that I add or change to my diet recently:
