It's a Busy Day for the Seniors: I Decided to Explore the Surroundings and Enjoy At The Same Time While Waiting for My Oldies

in #hive-155530last year

What makes you excited? What makes you happy? Is it a person, some happenings in your life, or maybe a thing? If you will ask Me and Mom, it's money, so how about you? Lol.

Do you know someone who doesn't feel happiness anymore because of their money? If you know someone, please tell them that they can just donate their money to me. I'll accept it with open arms and an open pocket, thank you in advance. LOL!

Gosh, what kind of introduction is this? Well, my topic is kind of connected to money, so forgive my greed for money, no, no, I call it LOVE FOR MONEY, lol.

I think it was four or three days ago that Mom informed me that she would need my mini e-fan on Wednesday and that I should charge it so she could use it for an hour. You know how handy these kinds of things are for outdoor activities. But why will she need it, you ask? Because it is "Senior's Day," what is senior's day? Well, I just made that word up, but it is really for senior citizens. That beautiful day is the day that they will receive their pension, so they will wait in a long line again just to get their money, just like the usual. And that's where the mini e-fan will be used. And it's a beautiful day because it involves money! LOL.

On Wednesday, the day finally arrived. The oldies prepared earlier because they wanted to finish it faster so that we could also get home faster. It's a beautiful and happy day, so SMILE. Selfie before it gets busy later.

We rode on a tricycle, so we could get there in a flash. If we walk by foot, it'll surely take more than 10 minutes, while if we ride a tricycle, it will take just 5, or, no, no, maybe just four minutes. It's not that far, yeah. And yes, I am accompanying them. It can't be helped as I am my mom's "human cane." I sound proud here, yeah, because I am. If you see me here, then you see me ƪ(˘⌣˘)ʃ.

I really thought we were the first ones to arrive here, but guess what? When we arrive, I think there are already 7 to 10 people waiting. Some have already positioned themselves and sat on the cold pavement while waiting. Maybe they get there at 5 a.m., I'm not sure. We have the saying that "an early bird catches the worm." Arriving there first will get them in line first, so surely they will also finish faster. That's what my oldies do too, that is why they love to be the early birds, to get it over fast.

Minutes after we arrived, more people followed, and the venue slowly filled with seniors. Just wow, there are really a lot of old people here at our place. It's also a good thing that people managing the whole thing arrive earlier compared to before, where they would arrive so late and make those old people wait in hot and itchy kind of weather, like TH! Thanks to that, they also started much earlier than expected.

My oldies were able to get in line for the first batch. And while I was waiting for their turn, I took that chance to roam around the area and check if there were any changes already. As I see it, a lot has changed already.

A change is good, especially if it has a great effect on all of the people here. I also see new plants in the area that I didn't see before. It just grows there, but I find them pretty even though it is really just some useless grass, or maybe not.

Walking around can really make you see more things. I discovered this on the other side of the building. It is a tiny flower, I took several photos of it just so I could get a good one. It's pretty, no? I am so in love with the color of it. I am not really familiar with this one, but if you know, let me know in the comment section.

Another one is this, guys. I won't notice this one if not for the old lady who asked for my help. So, I was busy looking around when an old lady approached me and asked where the comfort room was. But I also don't have an idea where it is located, so I told her, "I'm not sure where it is." The old lady then answered, Maybe it is at the back. So I told her, She can check it. But she told me that she's afraid that she might slip while walking. I just told her that I would accompany her to where it is. Then I saw this! There are only a few of them, and I find them so pretty. While waiting for the old lady, that's when I took these. Do you know what it is?

I continue my walk, and then I notice these. I remember this because we had this in our old home before. I often see these at my old school too. We call it "Makahiya" in the Philippines because when you poke it, It is like a kid who gets shy and shrinks. It is Mimosa pudica to all, I think. If you are familiar with it, it is like a "touch-me-not" plant, it's unique and amazing. Look how it shrinks after just poking it, lol. It's really cute but I'm just wondering how this works. What kind of magic is this, lol. I mean, how does it happen, no? It's really amazing.

It's really hot that day, so as much as I want to enjoy this view here, I can't because Mr. Sunny is like a madman, trying to put anyone on fire. This is the kind of view at the back of this building that you can enjoy, only if it's not that hot. Staying here for a minute is like putting yourself in boiling water, lol. Or maybe I am just exaggerating it. And by the way, did you notice that building beside that tree? They are finally finished building it.

Here's the full view, the last time we visited here, the construction was still ongoing. I even saw someone in uniform inside. I think it is also like an office. I'm not sure in which department, though. I noticed a woman inside. I saw her while squatting, trying to find a good angle to take a picture. I'm not sure what she was thinking when she saw me, but I'm okay because I'm wearing a cap and a facemask. So, I believe she didn't know me or doesn't even have an idea who I am, thank goodness. I thought no one was around, tch, I made sure of it. But I failed to check the inside of that building. (≧▽≦)

I was still doing something on the side of the building when Mom called. She said they were finally done and that we should already go home. Overall, we just stayed in this building doing "their things" for one hour. It's new because usually it takes more than that. But, thanks heaven, they finish quickly. I went running to where my oldies are and found a tricycle that would take us home. I just took this last photo while I was sitting in the tricycle. As you can see, there are still more people. For sure, this will take more hours to finish. But either way, we're done here.

SAYONARA!

I feel bad about the seniors who had to go with this long queu of people to get their pension.😌

Its sad that they have to experience that hardship. Theres a lot of ways naman to distribute it but why they can't do that. Tsk.

Nakaka miss yong makahiya leaves. Pag nasa bukid ako, yan talaga pinagtitripan ko. Titigil ako sa paglakad tapos maglalaro nalang ako nyan. hahaha hinahanap ko dito sa France, wala talaga. literal nasa bukid kami nakatira ngayon.

Hahaha dibaaaa, tas amaze na amaze kasi ang cool lol. Baka sa mga forest sila naga exist (≧▽≦)

Parang sa tropical countries lang sya nag exist eh. huhu!

Yon laang, haha, uwi ka philippines to see it again and play with it a little maybe (≧▽≦)

haha mukhang magkakagulo kami with the kids

I can't believe their pensions are not paid directly into the bank account ruffa. Here everything from the government is paid directly into your bank account. What about tax rebates? Would you queue for those.

Great minds think alike, as I too posted a wed walk post just now.

Great that the human cane took them out, and I love how you showed us what you saw!

!LOLZ
!PIZZA
!BEER

That's what I'm saying. Or they can just send it through ATM card as it ja much easier for the oldies but now. They really make those old people wait in a long line just to get it. In the past, there are accidents where there are old people that get dizzy waiting in the hot weather. It is too much for them, tsk tsk.

Ohooo, that awesome. Will read that maybe later ehe.

Thank you for the visit ฅ^•ﻌ•^ฅ

Yeah it is ridiculous as you say, feinting in the heat is not good!

Because they can’t open windows in space.

Super cool 😎 how the plant shrinks on touch. That is amazing how the leaves get smaller. How much time passes when this happens?

Right, do you have this plant in your country? Immediately, the second you touched it ฅ^•ﻌ•^ฅ, as for how long it stay at shrink, im not sure. I forgot to check (≧▽≦)

I'm not sure, I haven't seen one. Definitely not where I'm located at. West Coast here and down in Florida maybe.

I love money too Ate! hehehe ♥️😘
It was a such a good day for the oldies because they got their pension again 🤗

Hehehe, forda love of money and peg natin lol.

good job! human cane!

Hehehe Yayyyy ฅ^•ﻌ•^ฅ

Beautiful pictures! I think that the second plant is a white plumed cockscomb 🤗

Thank You ฅ^•ﻌ•^ฅ, oh, that's the name. I'll look at at in google to check. Thanks
(人 •͈ᴗ•͈)

You're welcome 🤗

Nice photo captures 📸

It's good that you guys succeeded with not so much time consumption

Thanks man, hehe.

Right, we were able to get home and open the store after that.

That's good to hear 👍

a great post but I do find it terrible they have to go and wait in line to collect their pension, or maybe I am lucky that mine is deposited into my bank account

Lovely photos of your time out with them

Thanks or joining the Wednesday Walk :)

Thank You ฅ^•ﻌ•^ฅ

It is really sad, imagine these old people have to fall in line in a very sunny weather. That's why sometimes some accident happens too because of it. Bht they still choose to do it this way rather than doing the easy one ಥ_ಥ

Aigooo ang struggle sa pila, ang dami pala seniors sa area nyo. Dito kasi sa Manila pansin ko hindi ganyan kadamai kapag kuhaan ng ayuda eh.

Ehhhh, baka piling senior lang? Or 60 year old atabstart na pwd makakuha ng pension..

The pictures of the scenery is beautiful. We all love money and that's why we are all here working so hard to earn, I do not think it's greed when it's earned the right way.
I feel sad for the senior citizens having to get their money in this way. Why can't they have some better systems like directly crediting the pension money into their bank accounts, which will cut down all this hassle.

Hehe, thanks ฅ^•ﻌ•^ฅ.

Right? And it really help us especially where everything need cash now.

Ikr, I don't know what's stopping them from doing that ಥ_ಥ

good afternoon dear friend @ruffatotmeee how are you
What you say is very true, who doesn't love money, especially now that everything is so expensive.
Bank collection service is poor in much of the world. Here in Argentina the same thing happens, the old people spend several hours waiting in lines to get their money
Beautiful photographs, I appreciate you sharing with us.
Have a beautiful afternoon

Hello friend, its morning here in our place no so Good Morning ฅ^•ﻌ•^ฅ

Right? In this kind of situation, money is super important now. In our every move we really have to spend so much money. It is easy to spend but so hard ro earn.

I thought it only happens here, so even in other country, that's really sad.

Thank You for the appreciation
