Last time I had a walk with my oldie (Mommy F), and today I had a walk with my mama, she's my biological mother, by the way. Out of my three mothers, having a walk with my Mama is the most enjoyable because we are really in sync when it comes to the things we want and like when it comes to almost everything. We both love having a walk in the scorching heat of the sun without an umbrella, we love to look around the place to hunt for a thrift shop, and we both love to talk about funny things while having a walk.
With my Mommy F, we also had a lot of talk, of course, but most of it was about serious matters. With my Mama, I am the one who always clings to her arms, while with my oldie, she's the one clinging to me because I am her human cane. It's like, with my Mommy F, I am the one driving, while with Mama, I let her drive and navigate the wheel, lol. It's really fun to have three mothers, lol. As for Mommy D, Mommy F's partner, my walk with her is just a okay.
So here's my mama. I let her walk in front of me so I could capture this picture. I like it because the background is so refreshing. Though it's still hot, thanks to those trees lined up in here, we were covered by it. It's really such good weather to have a walk. Actually, I just go with Mama today because I want to get out of our house. Two of my mothers had a fight yesterday, and being with them is kinda suffocating. One is giving someone the silent treatment, while the other is just ignoring it.
It's my Mommy F's fault that they are in this situation. She was like a beast yesterday, just because her plan wasn't followed. Well, Mommy D has a reason why she has to say "no" to what my Mommy F wants, but she takes it differently. I am blaming Mommy F for it too, because from my point of view, it is really her fault. I feel like I am in the middle of two cars that are fighting just based on strength or ego; it's annoying af.
So as an escape, I follow my mama here. But of course, before going, I still asked Mommy F if she wanted me to buy something while I was outside. We also planned to go to the market, so I gave that as a reason to my Mommy F as an escape from the house. Good thing Mommy F has something she needs that I have to buy at the market. She also asked me to buy chicken meat for our lunch. It's also a good thing I came with Mama, I get to witness such beautiful surroundings.
Having a walk like this outside has a perks too, we can find something outside and that something is maybe one of what I need. This is where you can find vendors in the vicinity that sell much cheaper products compared to those sold in the main market. This is also the reason why some people take their time to stop over and check out the products. Just like the mangoes here. As for the vendors, they are located in different locations. Some put their cart like this in a crowded place, some do it when there are programs in schools and other places.
To be honest, I kind of like these vendors that you can see along the highway. It's because sometimes I don't need to walk further if I need to buy something we need in the market. We can just buy it here at these stalls, and the prices are not that much different from the ones on the market. It's a big convenience, that's what I mean. When I'm with my Mama, we really stop by here to check on them, especially those people who sell fresh fish on the road.
By the way, while we're busy looking around, these caught my attention. They are colorful and pretty. I don't know what kind of flowers these are, but if ever I make a garden in my own house, I want them in there! Pretty, no? Putting it on every corner of the house with a designated place for them will surely make it look great. With the help of Google Lens, I found its name, which is Portulaca. Even the name is unique but pretty.
And another thing, here we go again with thrift shop hunting, lol. Whenever there's a new arrival of pre-loved shirts and shorts in here, we make it sure that we will stop by, even just for a minute. I really loved big t-shirts in a thrift shop because, aside from it's cheap price, they are also comfortable to wear with the kind of fabric they have. Same with shorts, I always go with cargo shorts. Lucky me if I find some, but too bad if there are none, then we just move on to the next.
For the last picture, let me share this favorite restaurant of mine, ours: Kuya Reo: Lutong Bahay with Homemade dishes, which I really love. I often buy my favorite spaghetti here, which I eat every morning for breakfast paired with hot Pandesal. This is also where I buy homemade vegetable dishes for very affordable price. Sometimes we are too lazy to cook vegetables, which is why we just buy some here in Kuya Reo. For 20 PHP or $0.36, you can already have enough vegetables for three people. Not bad, no? Their dishes are really good and flavorful, which is why we love buying them here.
Thanks to this short walk with my Mama, my annoyance subsides because of my Mommy F and Mommy F, who can't just lower their pride for the sake of peace, lol. They are really like two cars clashing with each other, lol. I know this is only for a short time. They will be okay again tomorrow, for sure.
How about you guys? How do you escape this kind of situation? A situation that you never wish to be in.
