You can now download a pdf copy of the book through the link below. Please note that this little book was written last year at the onset of the Pandemic so some of the data are already a year old. Nonetheless, I hope and pray that this will still be a blessing to you and your friends.
YES to physical distancing to fight COVID-19 but it is important that we don't forget that we are humans and it is our nature to socialize so of course, NO to Social Distancing.
Meanwhile, here are some great points to ponder this Pandemic season, click here.
I left the Philippines in January 20 and my return ticket to manila was supposed to be on March 20, which was cancelled due to Manila lockdown and later national lockdown. I did not go out for any tour but for the same work that I do for the ministry (MenschvilleKids.com). However, the Lord is forbidding me to go home because of the COVID-19 Pandemic. I must say it is very hard, so hard. I miss my family, my friends, church, and also my dogs. My cat died a few weeks ago and I was a bit devastated about it. I have to figure out how to extend visa, where do I live, how to get by, and so forth.. But I have no choice my friends, I need to live it one day at a time, like you all do today. Here I need to be extra wise for every decision, from what date to travel or transfer, and what time to go out, checking all data and news online and study them before I do the actions. The lockdown in the PH is a pain but we all need it to go through. I cannot come home because just imagining the situation there, I can say that it will be hard for me to get to Bicol or even to quezon city from naia. So I better stay here in Cambodia. Now the outbreak here is starting to get worse so we don't know where all these are going, but I know I am secured in the Lord. Whatever happens, we will trust Him.
Less people in the airport less hassle? I don't think so.
I almost missed the flight that was almost cancelled.

Jesus loves you!
This video was taken last February 2, 2020 in Chiang Rai, Thailand. It was the time when the virus was still being downplayed by many people in the world. The old lady and myself were just having a happy talk even though we don't understand each other. But upon reviewing this short clip, every hair in my body virtually stood to its end when I heard her say, "tragedy" and then she laughed. I'd like to interpret it as "to rejoice even at pressing times like this"... What about you? What can you say about this?
Traveling to 4 countries (IndoChina) in spite of the COVID-19 threat was not part of my plan at all. The latest coronavirus went to its sporadic blast when I was already in Thailand. Now, my free visa is about to expire here in Cambodia so I have to leave tomorrow for Vietnam, trusting that the great hand of the Lord never closes for all of us. Current news says lock-down is now set for travels to and from Manila for one week.... These are just precautionary measures, so just submit and don't panic my friends.
No matter what, Jesus is Lord, Lord of all!
