I had several plans today, including cleaning and going to the supermarket to buy some stuff for our temporary place and store. Since we're staying here longer than expected, we asked our landlord if we could open a small store for extra income. Luckily, she was supportive. I think my mom is going to post about it on her blog once we open it. For now, we're doing some necessary preparations.
Anyway, since I knew I was going to have a busy day, I decided to take a day off. And instead of working early in the morning as usual, I decided to go for a short walk with my father and Max. Just a short walk, because I don't have my shoes yet. I hope I can still use them.'
Max is so big and strong, so I'm only holding his leash for a bit while waiting for Papa to come out of the gate. We live by the road at the moment, so I'm not confident about taking Max for a walk by myself. There are a lot of vehicles, and Max is just so full of energy.
It was around 5:30 AM when we went out. It was still a bit dark, but you could actually see the sunrise from a distance. The walk isn't that long. In total, it would just be a little over a kilometer.
We encountered some doggies along the way. That small one came from the opposite side of the road. We were pretty worried about it since it was running on the road. Most of the vehicles slowed down when the driver saw it, but I truly hope it's safe and was able to go home.
And this black dog is actually Max's frenemy. It sometimes passes by our place and bothers Max... and my father said it usually tries to get near Max whenever they go for a walk.
This street is our cue to turn around. hahah Actually, the street across the road is a shortcut going to the small local market we used to shop at when we still lived at our house. Going to that same market from our current location would take around 20-25 minutes on foot. We live a little further from that market now, but it's still manageable to go there early to pick up some ingredients or other things.
Also, if we follow this street and go to the opposite side of Ramona Village, we'd reach my previous workplace. Yes, our current location is just 10 minutes away on foot from the English Academy I used to work for. Should I apply again? hahaha I still have one friend left working there. He's been in the academy for more than 10 years! XD
We turned around and headed back home. It was a reasonable distance for a short walk. Well, we also jogged a bit instead of just walking. There were many people walking, jogging, and even running in the area.
That's our temporary place over there. It's bigger than our house, but I miss the coziness of our place. The temporary house is hot and noisy. Still, we are very grateful to have a roof over our heads... and a huge one at that. xD
Max went past the house and went to this area near the gasoline station and 7-Eleven. He's used to this route when going for a walk. haha We followed his lead for a bit before heading back in.
Looks like someone enjoyed their stroll. It's easier for Max to go for a walk in this area. When we were at home, he was free to roam around the front yard and back yard, but that was it. We do go for walks at times, but our area's roads are too narrow, and there are a lot of puddles.
When I went back to our room, my Mama was still asleep, but Arashi wasn't. So, I took him out to the balcony for some air and sunshine. He likes staying on the balcony and observing the passing vehicles. He's still surprised by some of the noise, but he's somehow adapted to it.
All in all, it was a lovely morning walk with Max and Papa. When I'm not busy at work, I'll try to go with them again. I'd love to go jogging in the area someday, too.
Anyway, I'll end this post here. Thanks for checking it out, and see you around! (^^,)/
