Ordinary Day #5: Weekend Evening Stroll

Good day, Hiveans! One thing I’m not good at is budgeting. I always overspent. I remember one of my colleagues told us that the last name of money is spent. I think it’s true to me. Anyway, I hope the readers of this community are fine while reading my blog. I hope also that you’re blessed with the knowledge to spend money very well.

Today, I want to share how my evening of an ordinary weekend is spent. Every weekend, without prior engagement, my husband and I are like an owl that is very active during the evening. We like to stroll around the neighborhood when the sun is already set. When we have an excess budget, that’s what I think, is excess, but in reality, deficit, we extended our evening stroll to the neighboring town, Bogo City. We moved to the next place where we saw many people in the dock of Tabogon where many food establishments were found. We just wanted to kill time and fight boredom.

My husband and I decided to have our dinner at one of the food stalls on the dock side of Tabogon. Since we were too lazy to cook most weekends. We tried to choose food that was affordable to limit our budget. Unfortunately, it was a prank. We did choose an affordable one, but we overspent again by buying dessert after dinner. We were hallucinated by the display of the dessert beside the food stall and were truly convinced by the design of their stall, that we unconsciously bought a dessert. This has always been our problem, and until now we are trying to figure out how to solve this concern. I know the time will come when we learn budgeting, as of now, we savor the moment with worries about budgeting, but not making a big deal in our relationship.

There was a time when I joked with my husband that according to them, opposite attracts. A good relationship is when you have different ideas but meet in the middle and compromise. But for us, why did we end up together when we are the same, we are not good at budgeting. It seems that our union is a mistake. We just laughed. Maybe we are on the same page about handling our finances but in some areas, we are the opposite. It’s true. He is a morning person, and I’m not. I think this is the reason for our union, I needed him to wake me up every day and he needed me to nag him when he woke me up. Funny thing.

After having our dinner, I convinced my husband to take pictures around the area. I think he was in the mood to take pictures.

The reason why I wanted my husband to take pictures using his phone is that he backs up his pictures in Google Photos and it's easy to access to me if I write blogs. I don’t need to use Bluetooth to transfer the pictures on the laptop. He paid the subscription also. It’s hitting two birds in one stone. He saved photos and I use it for the blogs.
