Actress and comedienne Kakai Bautista shared two very different photos of herself as she compared the state of her health and well-being before and during the quarantine.

The first photo features her all glammed up for work taken before the quarantine took effect due to the threat of COVID-19.

Kakai has a face full of makeup and has her hair styled nicely. Her nails are also colored with sparkly nail polish.

"This was me before the lockdown. All glammed-up but i lack sleep and proper nutrition. I often skip meals. To the point that I'd rather sleep than eat. I missed being glammed-up. But I realized, talagang magkakasakit ako sa lifestyle kong ito," she wrote on Instagram.

She posted another photo of herself which was taken from her home during the quarantine.

Kakai says that she now feels more rested and has learned to appreciate simple things in life.

"This is me during lockdown. My weight I think blew up. But I DON't CARE. I eat and I'm happy. I have more time sleeping, resting and just thinking about everything i need to and my mind allows to. I got to appreciate more and more simple things i have ignored and forgotten to appreciate. Like gaano kasarap kumain ng gulay. Masayang maghugas ng pinggan kapag kumakanta. Mag-alaga at namnamin ang ganda ng mga halaman. Matuwa sa mga puno, na sana mas marami pa sa paligid. Huminga ng hangin na walang polusyon. GUMISING ARAW-ARAW," she continued.

Kakai also shared that the quarantine experience taught her to put her trust in God.

"Ang dami nating EXPECTATIONS sa 2020. But God has given us this REALITY. In just one snap, he changed everything. So what do we do? Expect More or Accept Reality?

"I choose not to lose the remaining ball of positivity I have in my system. NO Matter What, I know God's Plan is better than Ours. And He is Good all the Time. LOVE and LIGHT EVERYONE! #PositivityIsNotBlind #GodisGood," she wrote.
