Tired of the new rules, Carmina closed her Google Maps account — what pushed her over the edge?

It’s been months since Carmina last posted on her Google Maps. I started doing it just for fun, exploring new places to dine and travel, and sharing those spots with others. Back in 2017, I wasn’t even blogging yet. Over the years, I received numerous email updates about changes, but in September, the removal of followers on Google Maps felt particularly strange. There’s no point in complaining about it. I decided not to close my account, as it wasn’t an option, but I did delete all the photos I had contributed over the years. I have fond memories of seeing which photos were popular and had hoped to share them with you. It was surprising to see how many views my pictures had accumulated. While deleting them, I noticed that many restaurants and bakeries no longer exist, with some marked as unknown on the map. Most of my photos were from the pandemic period, a time when I could fully express myself and write about the food I enjoyed. Let's take a trip down memory lane with Carmina th...

Carmina's Experience Going Outside for More than One Year in the Philippines

 


After more than one year actually going outside you realize there are a lot of changes made in the roads everything is well organize you no longer remember where you are by looking at the roads having less cars you seem to get lost.

You need to concentrate more on your driving to read all the signs stating where everything will lead you to the right direction.

After all you haven't driven your car for a long time you feel your back on the days your learning how to drive again the best part we can use navigation on our phone to lead us to right location.

You haven't really physically enter in a store for a long time having everything purchase online you realize how everything is inside the store there is a mark on the floor giving you space from the person in front of you and someone in back of you.

The stores are clean the cashier has a plastic shield in front of you and everyone is wearing required facial mask and face shield.

You may become over whelmed by the changes and the restroom are no longer inside the store it is now outside making sure everyone is safe and sanitized having rubbing alcohol everywhere.

People may look at your differently but we are all following required regulations no one can see your facial expression but you can still talk for a while being distance a part from each other.

Going outside rather just visiting your mom is all different entering the gate the security guard will ask information from you while wearing a mask they cannot recognize your face being covered up, but the sound of your voice they do remember.

Entering the condo there is a black mat to sanitized your shoes before you enter you're required to wear a facial mask and facial shield or else they will not allow you to enter.

Before entering the elevator there are rules and regulations to read for you're safety your not allowed to talk to anyone inside you will distance apart standing on the given marks on the floor and there is a sanitizer for you to use for your hands.

Going to my mom's unit I always leave my shoes outside and wear house slippers a way to make sure my mom will be safe. 

Before leaving my mom's home I would change my whole outfit and spray Lysol on my shoes.

Returning back home I would leave my shoes outside the worker will disinfect it for me and take a shower with a new set of clothing to wear it is a routine to follow to be clean and safe.

My clothes will be place in the laundry for the day I've been outside there is no trace of anything in our own environment having a safety protocol in your life.
