Last Wednesday (August 10, 2022) afternoon, my best friend visited me home. We decided to visit a place of our ex-classmates who lived far-near my town. Something caught my attention as I went through the mini city to a faraway place from society. People who live far from the proper are enjoying the life of the countryside, and as the years go by, more houses are built.
In my opinion, it's the best decision to buy a lot from that places, for the value of the land goes high as the development of roads and building of commercialization occurred.
As the days went by, I loved to take pictures and store them in cloud storage. Why? Things had changed abruptly from this time when I spotted a few familiar things that were different from what I had seen when I was a teenager.
I will share with my friend's places, away and far from the main proper, but with more beautiful and cleaner fields than the busy streets. This is why I wanted to keep myself away from the polluted area, where I could still feel the city's busy streets and cold and fresh air.
This is my place, greens still yet more buildings and huge houses are under contractions year by year. They are developing the area as soon it goes to the city. Besides, just the title wasn't given, the inflation and prices of commercial goods and services are far higher than in a town.
As we travel using a single motorcycle, I spot these two workers on a break, testifying that the city never stops contracting buildings and business ventures. Hoping that economy will genuinely grow and unemployment will gradually be lowered. Cayuse prices of food had huge differences and had some scarcity.
With the development of roads, more and more businesses opened, yet after the covid lockdowns, some stall wasn't opened and in the business as this time, hard to say, but some lost their businesses.
A road was going out from the city and entering a paradise where life is so much different—a simple yet effective way, peaceful and clean.
I spotted this water buffalo (carabao) resting and making things on his own. It's weird, but the carabao smell as we travel on the road gives a reminiscing event of my childhood. I lived on the farm when I was young, where livestock would bring me a morning wake-up, roosters, and mooo of cattle and buffalo. I just suddenly missed my childhood.
Also, the green field of carbohydrates (rice) season is now starting to grow its flower. Some smelly varieties have filled the freshness. I am excited about this rice season, and I have a personal research proposal as I need a rice straw.
This is an irrigation system in our place, and the dam opened during the rice season needed to be filled with water as a tribute for a good harvest.
I remember my childhood; I was also one of those naughty kids who always wanted to play, jump and swim in the irrigation system. However, as I grew old, water was much more different from my childhood, especially the color and cleanliness.
There were also fish ponds all over, and they domesticated some varieties of salt and fresh water fishes as the Department of Agriculture and fisheries modernization Act project.
This is the waterway of the river dam site going to the places of different rice farms.
We contacted one of our friends to hang along and drink some beers. Yet some didn't show up.
August 10, 2022, was a happy, filled day for the whole day I was with my friends that I had barely seen for months. As we grow old, we know life's priorities, yet friendship never stops. Even though we don't talk daily, we understand and know it never changes the fact of the company we had.
Yeah, it was Wednesday filled with advantages and friends of mine. Thanks for reading…
