My Songs for the Year 2020

This year made listening to songs extra meaningful.  Well, how could it not? when most of us are quarantined to eternity for the most part of the year..with the usual normal activities put on hold.  Nothing keeps us company more than the songs and music we listened to, danced to, sung along to. And how this year still proved that musicians hearts and spirits will continue to thrive, pandemic or not. 

And here are the songs on my playlist this year, the balm to a toxic year, providing inspiration to melancholy or simply reflecting our emotions as needed. 

Thank you once again to the artists, the singers, performers, for your music, your passion, your creativity shared to millions of us. Some of these will go on to become classic hits that we will always listen to years from now, to make us smile once again or sigh or swoon long after the covid era has come and gone:

My Watchlist 2020 - Thank you for Keeping us sane

ah, 2020, one of the worst years the earth has seen for quite a while, at least for our generation, and this lifetime. 

Despite its many challenges, notably the series of lockdown and seeming unlimited quarantine in effect in the Philippines, there were some bright spots and bits of inspiration thrown our way.  Some of these include the movies, shows that have kept us company throughout our quarantined days. When most of us are left with no choice but to stay at home, to Netflix and chill as they say, or simply lounge in front of the TV (at least outside of TikTok activities & my usual socmed hours) - we have these entertainment, something to look forward to daily or weekly or every other day - to ward off boredom and also help us focus on important stuff by providing us with worthy diversion. That after coming off our binge-watch or after viewing these films, these shows, sporting events, our spirits are renewed and we benefit from a fresh perspective while at same time taking our minds away from the negative events.

Personally, here are those that were part of my watchlist this year. I am thankful for their production, for the entertainment, the inspiration and pure creativity, & passion and dedication of athletes that made this pandemic & catastrophic year somewhat tolerable:
