Just when everyone was thinking that the COVID-19 pandemic might be ending soon, like we were really looking forward to living a mask-free life by next year due to the scientific predictions, but various new variants have arisen from different parts of the world and it is affecting more and more people, including infants and children now. Sad. Indeed. Though there are vaccination programs and continuous research to fight against the virus, no one should be complacent. Each one, literally, is part of this. By protecting oneself, one protects his/her family. So if every family has this mindset, then we can battle with the hidden enemy better. Thus, end this war with the coronavirus. Gotta put in mind that whoever you are, every person is at risk. So please, vaccinate! No one knows when this would end. But one thing is for sure... All of us are already, super waiting for that amazing day to come! And this is why, as part of my contribution to the world, I am encouraging double masking. During the pre-pandemic era, it was mostly the South Koreans and Japanese who normally wore masks on a daily routine. However, all of us do now as a symbol of protecting one another. Not wearing one actually makes you an outcast, sloppy, and inconsiderate. While it was really a burden at first because we were not used to it, everyone learned to adapt, adjust, and accept eventually. Yup! A mask is now a must on the so-called new normal outfit. To make it lighter than it seems, the society imprinted that masks are protection and style at the same time. Remember last year? When businesses created designed masks, whether for surgical or cloth, just so the OOTDs are still on point. For masking has become one's fashion already as well and not just for one's safety per se. And now that COVID-19 cases are rising and getting more fatal, gotta level up our precautions too. Putting on a mask is the best way to protect the self from the virus, so practicing double masking is very much encouraged. Double masking means wearing a surgical mask whilst topped by a cloth mask. Studies showed that having two masks could improve the filtration since it is more fit when worn. It was claimed to prevent diseases exposure better because the surgical mask would be tighter as it is being pushed by the cloth mask. Since they are fitter and tighter, rest assured that you are safer. Metro Manila was placed under strict community guidelines for the whole month of Agosto because of the Delta and Lambda variants. If I would really choose, I do not want to go out of the house because I am really scared albeit fully vaxxed. However, I had to do some important errands for both personal and work. Since it was my first and only chance to step out and see the world this August, like I had no other choice to put up on this month's Fashion category but this, so I made sure to dress up. I wore my sister's shirt, her ADLV tee where a cute kid with a mask on her eyes was printed in front. Then, I paired it with skinny denim jeans because the top was already so, so, sooooo loose already. Also geared up with my new Fila kicks, the one endorsed by my ultimate: Jin in the Back To Nature collection. Uh-huh, the Court Plumpy shoes! Super comfy, I swear! And as you can see, had a gray surgical mask and a gray cloth mask on. Been double masking since last year, even without the stronger virus mutations as it really secures my inner peace better. I am not imposing that you guys go for double masks like I do, but I really am encouraging y'all. It is for your own sake too. You know, double masks equals doble ingat. So please, please, please, just always put a mask on. Mask/masks on para mas(k) protected and mas(k) safe. Let us all stay healthy. We can survive this! Fighting 💖
