FFWN asked its members, “How are you coping with the pandemic lockdown and the ensuring anxiety about an invisible enemy?”
Thelma Boac: "We gather the family around the piano and we sing together." The beautiful Cassandra Grace, Thelma's granddaughter, sang "What a Wonderful World" while Thelma played the piano at the FWN Wellness Meeting #2 last April 2nd, 2020. (SOCIAL WELLNESS)
Trisha Marco: "I donate blood at least once a month because my rare blood type is much in demand. Since I'm not able because of sheltering-in-place, I've been baking!" (PHYSICAL WELLNESS)
(EMOTIONAL WELLNESS)
Dolly Specht: Discovering Korean dramas! I'm on my 13th story, and CLOY was the culprit!
Charina Vergara: "I discovered Korean telenovela and finished CLOY in 2 days when i had my 2 days off from working at the restaurant!! I got hooked and fell in love with Captain Ri, LOL!"
Fides Balita: "The most fun is I got introduced to Korean drama - my fave is Crash Landing on You. I didn't realize that these tv shows had been in existence for quite some time! I totally missed out!!!"
Claire Navarro Espina: "Cooking, meditating, reaching out to family and friends, gardening. And working from home - although concentrating has become difficult. (ENVIRONMENTAL WELLNESS)
Marivic Garcia: Prayers. Keeping in touch with family and friends. Taking it one day at a time." (SPIRITUAL WELLNESS)
Edith Winterhalter: "Finally reading those books that i’ve been buying over the years but never got around to reading. and editing our dive videos from our February Negros trip — gosh! that felt eons ago! (INTELLECTUAL WELLNESS)
