This weekend, I feel so lazy cleaning our house and doing my chores just like what I am always doing, especially when my grandparents are away in our house to go to my aunt's place to take some vacation. I just have some thoughts that cleaning is worthless if my family can't appreciate it. I mean, I am always cleaning our house, but they can't cooperate with me. I feel so tired now. I cleaned every day, but after cleaning, they would spread some clutter and leave some dirt again. So, I decided not to make some efforts and save my energy.
So, I just spent my weekend doing nothing but enjoying my free time. I want to rest my body while there's no pest around. But then, when I closed my eyes, the messy surroundings inside our house were inside my mind, so I opened my eyes and shook my head so that I could neglect them. But it's really making my head hurt. That's why, today, I decided to go out and go to school to eat some snacks.
I started walking around 3 o'clock in the afternoon, which was my mistake because the sun is still very hot and it feels like my skin is scorched even though I have an umbrella.
When I arrived at my destination, there were some kids and older people who were looking at me when I arrived in front of the store. I heard a woman talking about my hearing aid. But I neglected looking at them, even if they were talking about me. Well, I am already getting used to it.
Then a man in his 50s arrived in front of me and saw my hearing aid. He was asking how the hearing aid was in my ears; he also asked how much it cost, but I didn't answer it. But, to my surprise, he is also wearing a small hearing aid. A type of hearing aid that can only be used for people who still have a high level of hearing in both ears but whose hearing is dim. Actually, that is the one I wanted because it can't be obvious when you wear it, but, you know, my level of hearing is not qualified for the percentage that can be used with that hearing aid.
Anyway, I haven't eaten any snacks again after a very long time of doing a diet. I always eat a boiled egg every morning and a small portion of food at lunch every day. But today, I haven't eaten breakfast or lunch, and I feel so hungry.
I missed eating a cheeseburger, fries, and ice cream and drinking a bottle of my favorite Royal Orange soft drinks. I really liked to eat them again, and I didn't mind my body weight. I can't stop myself anymore. I think it's okay because it's only once, and tomorrow I will be back to eating boiled eggs.
After eating, I bought some dishwashing liquid and laundry soap. As a plate attendant, I need dishwashing liquid because we ran out of stock, and I need laundry soap because I am planning to wash my clothes and some of my worn bedsheets tomorrow.
Looking at the time, it's already 5 p.m. and I think my grandma and younger are already at home. So I decided to go home.
While walking home, there was this thought that came into my mind. I noticed that our barangay changed a lot. The road in our barangay is already wide. Unlike before, we need to go down in the dyke so that a big vehicle can pass. There are some street lights too, and it's a very good thing that we have those now to avoid accidents. Of course, I also missed the trees that I always passed by when I was still a student, but they need to cut them down just to build what they think is good for the citizens who were living in our barangay. There are still some trees beside the road, but they are new now.
Now, let me tour you on the road and near our compound.
Can you see the houses? That is our compound. In that compound, there are a total of three surnames of families living in that area.
While walking, I appreciate the beauty of the clouds.
The farm at our place is still bald because it's not time to plant rice grains again. It's still summer, and we are waiting for the rainy season.
Our place is just simple and boring. You can only see some plants, farms, and some animals that are taken care of.
Our road is not paved because it's not part of the government's project. But the municipality of our barangay is selling this road to us for 5 digits to own it, but our families can't afford to buy it, so as of now, the municipality is still owning this road.
That is all I can share with you this weekend. I don't know where or what I will share with you in our area because every place here looks the same. It's boring, yet peaceful.
I hope you enjoyed reading about my weekend.
Thanks for reading!
