Just ask Martin Nievera and hell tell you all about living his best (quarantine) life: More than anything, Im getting in touch with things I never knew I had; I never knew what I had to do, and thats chores in the house, bonding with family, people I neglect to talk to here in this house.

Theres more bonding time and ways to get in touch with people even by way of social media.

I keep in touch with family and friends because Im worried about everybody.

This is a good time to get more in touch with writing songs again, thinking, and planning, and worrying a lotand Ive never prayed so hard in my life, he tells Metro.Style.

Like hundreds of millions of people around the world, he misses his freedom and has mulled over the uncertainty of the future.

What sets him apart, however, is how he has acknowledged the responsibility of being a person of influence.

Right after lunch, I sit here till midnight, sometimes even later, doing what Im doing now: answering questions, writing songs, and trying to get some sort of motivation so that I can be an inspiration to very, very sad people.

Its our job as artists to keep them up, to keep them inspired, to give them something else to look forward to and not to be discouraged, he shares.

Local celebrities feel the same way, with many of them continuing to entertain and inspire from the comforts of their own homes, and an extra handful even initiating their own COVID-19 relief efforts and working in the field themselves.

For me, I think we should all meet somewhere, have a big concert for free, and celebrate a brand new day, he shares.

Thats because Martin is a firm believer that despite all the suffering and turmoil and distress that all of humanity is facing today, all of it will come to end.

There is a future that lays ahead, and it will be so much brighter and better than the past we left behind.

He thinks of it as a chance to restart, to begin again but this time, with our priorities in check and with a much healthier perspective on life.

I think what this cabin fever is teaching us is to be more grateful and to attack life, our schedules that are coming in the future, with more zeal, with more excitement, with more passion.

Because you dont know what you have until you lose it, Martin adds.

The old adage seize the day has never been more true for all of us the moment were finally allowed to.

Outfits he wore to TV appearances more than three decades ago are still around.

Things I used to wear to a show called Penthouse Live are still there.

Hes also taken care of feeding his beloved dogs for the first time.

Considering that he was away for most of the day in pre-quarantine life, there was always some else to take care of dog dad duties on his behalfbut not this time.
