Focus and Snap: The Old Concrete Bench Shaded by an Old Tree, Pretty but Shy Makahiya, and a Quick Stop in the Center to Check Mama's Blood Pressure

We've been doing lots of walking these past few weeks, and even though it's just a short walk, I think that can still do a lot. We do it every day, so that can surely change something, no? We want to go have a walk in other places too, to be honest, like not just here in our town, but we can't do that for now. But soon, maybe we can plan it soon.

When Mama asked me if I wanted to go with her somewhere, I thought we'd go right away after asking me. So I ready myself and get my cap and my face mask, then I go downstairs to show that I'm ready to go. But thennnnnn, I saw her frying something on the stove (⁠╥⁠﹏⁠╥⁠). And she said she'll cook first so that when we arrive home later, they will just eat, including the pets. Lol

So yeah, she's frying this, a mixture of fish with squash. It looks really crispy and yummy. I told her I will get one too later, she just said yes, (⁠^⁠.⁠_⁠.⁠^⁠)⁠ﾉ. we still have leftover fried fish from yesterday so that's our viand for today. Also, I will just buy a cooked vegetable dish later on the way. We didn't go to the market today eh (⁠◍⁠•⁠ᴗ⁠•⁠◍⁠)

After frying all the mixture of her special gulay with fish, we then go on our way to the PARK! Yep, in the park, we're going to visit the health center again to get free meds. Mama's vitamins are all gone so she needs to get some again. We stop by for a bit here to buy Maruya or Banana Fritters.

We continue our walk and of course, I had to make a stop, to snaps some pretty photos on our way. And looks what a I found. Some interesting plants with a pretty color. I also had to snaps this beautiful tree coz really, it looks like a world tree in some anime series, haha. I zoom in it into x2 to get a closer look of it. I love the result!

I also see a Makahiya on our way there and they are still as pretty as I remember then. It is sad that they don't bloom flowers right now (⁠╥⁠﹏⁠╥⁠). Still, so happy to see them here. This plant is like a sensitive person, when poke a little they will fold inward or droop as if so shy too. It's actually amazing, look at the 3rd and last photo, see how I poke it slightly and it folds after. Nature really is amazing.

And here's another photos, this particular space is really special to me. It's located near Bansud Gymnasium and PUP. This is where a meeting place, a hangout place and a place where we had our snacks during our breaks. Glad that the tree is still there, the tree serves as our shades from Mr. Sunny so this become everyone's resting place. And what's funny is, instead of sitting on the concrete bench of it, we sit on top because its more fun to sit there, haha. I don't know why it become like that, most people that sit there do that, haha.

Here's more pretty things we saw outside. I just can't ignore those big and tall trees. And seriously, the mango tree you see there is just a small one before but now they already grown a lot. What a great progress.

Anyways, after our walk, we headed first to the health center to get check Mama's blood pressure. We've been coming here twice already and there's always a lot of people waiting in line. Thanks heavens there's no patient waiting in line today. Mama got her blood check and according to the result, it is normal 110 over something. But this number made her a bit dizzy but that's it, she stop taking her maintenance for high blood and only take vitamins. ♪⁠ ⁠\⁠(⁠^⁠ω⁠^⁠\⁠ ⁠)
