(SPOT.ph) There are so many ways to describe the year that was, but we couldn't be any more thankful that we were able to get through the highs and lows of 2020. We sure do miss spotting weird and/or hilarious signs on the streets, but months in quarantine kept us busy, too: from experimenting on coffee, ordering dedication cakes with the craziest messages, to shopping online for finds that we may have otherwise ignored pre-pandemic. Plus, some took the time to spend more moments with their pets and take care of plants!
Allow us to take you back to the previous months with all these snaps from Spotters! From what the "old" normal was like down to cute pets and the best shopping finds, we've got it covered.
They weren't wrong.

A lot of people attempted to be "shefs" at home. Take for instance these mini pancakes—they're actually meant to be donuts!

We've also been cooped up for so long that we started seeing things. "Don't look at me like that!" it says. Or you know, it's just a pair of headphones.

The quarantine has made us think of going away and teleporting to beaches to just chill.

"I think it's the first year that these trees bloomed, too bad the lockdown happened after a few days," writes Ramos. If anything, we're sure it's not the last.
