Hello Hivers this is me Pearlyshell, Have you ever tried doing a school task in the morning then spending the rest of the day having fun? That's what happened to me today Because tomorrow there's another school task to do , so we used the time we had left to enjoy the day.
We went to Danao. Danao is a place near the sea. Many people were already there when we arrived. There were students. Everyone looked ready. Everyone had a job to do. We were all going to plant mangroves. Before planting, we changed our clothes. We wore simple shirts and pants. We knew we would get dirty. We brought water bottles. We brought towels to wipe our sweat, and some students removed their IDs.We walked to the planting area; it was far away from the gathered area and the people who raised the flag to guide us. The path was not very easy. It was muddy and wet. We saw the sea; the sea was very calm. It was quiet and peaceful. The water was not moving so much. I looked beautiful. The ground near the sea was very soft. When we stepped on it, our feet sank into the mud. Some people laughed when their shoes got stuck. Some people lost their slippers. But no one was angry. I was funny and fun.
The mud was very soft. It was also sticky. It made our hands and feet dirty. But we didn't care; we were having a good time we were helping the earth. We were doing something good for the environment. That made us feel proud. We worked under the sun. The sun was very strong; we were sweating. Our faces were red our shirts were wet. But we didn't stop. We kept planting. Some people sang. Some people joked. Some people took pictures. Even though it was hot, we smiled. Even though we were tired, we laughed. It felt nice to be part of a group doing something good.
AFTER THE PLANTING ☘️
A small adventure Some of our classmates went home after the planting; they were tired they wanted to rest. But I and my two close friends had a different idea; we didn't want to do something more. We talked for a while. We asked, What should we do next? One of us said, Let's go to District V. District V is not very close. It takes time to get there, but we said yes, we wanted an adventure. We were already tired, but we were also excited.
We took a ride. We sat next to each other. We looked out the window. We saw trees we saw people. We passed small towns. We played music. We sang along we shared stories. We talked about school, about friends, and about funny things.
ARRIVAL AT DISTRICT V
When we got to District V, we were amazed. It looked so different it was quite. It wasn, and it was very pretty. There were many smalls, and there were many cafes. The buildings looked very aesthetic; it's a vintage style. There were talk chairs, good for taking a picture for aesthetic styles. The walls had art on them. We walked slowly. We took pictures, we smiled we felt like we were in a different place. The place is highly recommended; it's a 10/10 if you tell me to rate it. After walking for a bit, we found a small cafe. It looked very nice. It had big windows; we could see the inside from the outside. The lights were warm; we decided to go in.
INSIDE THE CAFE
The moment we entered, we smelled food. It smelled sweet and delicious. There was soft music playing; it was calm and relaxing. Before we sat down, we went to see their menu, and, very interestingly, the price was very affordable, to be honest, and they sell many types of food, and they have many flavors of coffee. They also have shakes, cake, and many more. It's too hard for us to choose the better one because in our minds, all are perfect. There were many things to eat: there were pasta dishes, sandwiches, burgers, rice meals, and more, but the best part was the dessert menu. But we order food for lunch first because we're not yet done eating. My other friend got a mango, my one friend ordered iced coffee the other got lemonade. We found a table and sat down. The chairs were soft, the table was clean the air inside was cool; it felt good after the hot morning.
We waited for our food. When it came, we were so happy. It looked beautiful. Instagrammable, the drinks were cold, we took pictures we posted them on social media. Then we ate the food. It melted in my mouth; it was very yummy. We shared bites; we let each other taste everything. We smiled and laughed; it wasn. While eating, we talked; we talked about the mangrove planting. We laughed about the mud. We remembered how someone fell down. We remembered how our shoes got stuck. We were tired, but we felt light and happy. We stayed in the cafe for a long time. We rested, we talked we felt peaceful.
We looked around and saw people laughing, talking, and enjoying food. It was a peaceful place but also full of joy. Now it was time for chika chika. Now what's the tea? Chika time! Before we even looked at the menu, we started talking. We call it chika chika friendly talking and sharing together some jokes.
GOING HOME 🏠
After resting, we knew that it was the right time to go home.we walked around a little more and took many pictures. My habit when I go to explore is to take a photo as a remembrance of the beautiful places we smiled. We are very thankful because all the money we spent is not wasted because the place is very good, very perfect. This day is very special; I will never forget it.
WHY IS THIS SPECIAL?
In the morning we helped the planet by planting mangroves. These plants will grow, they will protect the sea, they will help animals like fish, and also they will stop the floods. Even though the sun was hot, we worked hard, we didn'tn, and we're proud. And then in the afternoon, we rewarded ourselves. We went to distrust. We saw beautiful places and very aesthetic places. We ate very nice-tasting food and enjoyed it with friends. It's a perfect day, you know, because we did something hard, and also we did something fun. We let ourselves be happy and enjoy some place. This day showed me something: that helping can be fun. It shows that hard work can make us happy. I hope to have more friends like this. I hope to visit more places. But most of all I hope to remember this day for a long , long time.
