🌿Life Highlights yesterday
The day started early in the morning. The road was already busy, motorcycles and cars moving fast while the sky was still soft and pale. We left early for work because we needed to pick up the pre-order flowers.
Along the road near the church, we stopped by a small flower stand. Buckets of white, red, and yellow flowers were neatly arranged. The smell of fresh flowers mixed with the morning air. It felt calm even with people passing by.
Because we arrived early, I had time before starting work. Outside my workplace, I made a small garden. I used old containers and pots, filled them with soil, and planted small seedlings. Some were new, some were already growing. It was simple, but it made me happy. Touching the soil and arranging the plants gave me a quiet moment before the workday began.
In the afternoon, things slowed down. We had no car service, so we had more time than usual. Near the garden area, we picked some wild cucumber growing on a vine. The fruits were small, green, and fresh. We carefully picked a few, enough for home. It felt nice to gather something straight from nature after a long day.
Since we were commuting by jeepney, we decided to stop by Manju. The small food stall was warm with lights, and the smell of freshly cooked snacks welcomed us. We ordered and ate before heading home. After that, we rode a tricycle for the last part of the trip.
