Face-to-face is Back
It's been almost 3 years now since the pandemic happened. Everything changed at that time, especially in crowded places.
Lockdowns are implemented. Schools and workplaces are closed. Public transportation got restrictions. And no events or public gatherings are allowed.
And so zoom meetings got discovered. Instead of face-to-face...
We've been using zoom to communicate and held our meetings.
But this year... It gets back to normal.
We already held our assembly face-to-face. This is the first time we get back to how it used to be.
And everything changes when we saw each other before the pandemic starts. I'm still single at that time, unmarried, and with no baby.
But now, I attended the assembly with a baby and am already married. HAHA.
In that 3 years, I've been so busy in my life. Marrying and giving birth. Lol.
Anyways, my baby and I prepared so early that day...
It's 7:30 am when we're already dressed and ready to go. Of course, taking a mirror selfie is a must before anything else.
9:00 am when we arrived at the venue. A lot of people are already there. So excited to meet and greet everyone coz it's been so long since we see each other face to face.
After seeing and greeting some of our friends, we go back to our seats. And of course, taking a selfie as a family is what I required. 😅
We also got some snaps from our families.
This face-to-face experience is kinda exciting, as you will already see some of your long-time friends.
Seeing them personally is better than just on your laptop screens or phone screens.
And wait, my little one did not go home without recognizing a friend.
She's Thuatla. Aren't they look so cute? HAHAHA. And they know how to shake hands.
My baby boy stared so lovingly. Not until...
Tuathla's Dad separates them apart. How sad. My baby looks so surprised after that.
Anyways, it's their first time meeting and we parents are the most excited ones on their behalf.
This face-to-face experience after almost 3 years of not doing it is so reviving.
If I will compare, staying at home is quite comfortable as you will just open your laptop and watch. But having them beside you, holding them personally, and seeing their smiley faces is always what I miss. It's still a different experience when you'll do it personally.
How about you? Which is better? Face-to-face or online?

WE have been back to normal for many months, so I am glad Ph is getting there too!
Yeah. We're getting there little by little. And I'm happy that everything's going back to normal. 🥰

Hahaha. Nadamay pati alaga? Bakit naman? May virus daw? 😅
Uu, kase paranoid na kahit iyung mga hayop na nananahimik pinagbibintangang carrier
I can tell that you are a Jehovah witness member and that's so lovely.
Covid put a stop to many things which involved social gatherings. It was an hell of a time and I really pray we don't experience that anymore. Your family look cute and your baby is really adorable.
Things have resumed back to normal here as well a long time ago and I will definitely choose physical meeting over zoom or Skype
Yes, I am one of Jehovah's Witnesses, so are you too? 😍
I remember my friends who are part of Jehovah's Witnesses be so ecstatic, hoping and waiting on the day they'd finally have a face to face assembly. So much has happened in your life, during those three years. Really big changes.
I'm glad that things are returning to normal I'm PH. Thanks for sharing.

Yes. That's the most exciting part of being a Jehovah's Witness. Seeing each other again after years of being just in Zoom. Anyways, where are your friends located?

This is so refreshing to see. We feel our happiest when we reunite with our family and loved ones.
That experience gotten from seeing them in person, face-to-face is just incomparable with online meetings and visuals.
The pictures where the two babies shook hands is so cute and adorable😊, their little chubby cheeks. I nearly fell to the ground laughing when Thuatla's dad came to seperate the cute union😂.
I'm happy you finally saw your people, it's nice to attend family gatherings every once in a while and reconnect with loved ones.
I didn't expect that they will hold hands during that meet-up. Haha, and yeah. Thuatla's Dad doesn't want them to have a moment. 😂
He can't imagine his child having a crush. 😂
Oh wow. I did not think that some places are just getting back together. That's a long time and I'm sure there were lots of meet and greets. You and your family look amazing.
I prefer the face to face, we feel all moments 100 percent, your baby is so cute and you are beautiful too in that pretty dress. Glad you had fun in your face to face meeting after 3 years.
