I woke up at 6 in the morning, but was too lazy to get up and move around, so I'm still lying in bed while writing my blog to start my day productively. As you know, if you have read my previous post, I'm trying to be active here on Hive.
I finished doing the laundry, while cooking rice for breakfast. I was kind of pressured , I don't know where to start cleaning because the house was a total mess. My aunt was busy managing their sari-sari which is 5-10 minutes away from their home.
I prepare my cousin's favorite breakfast: milo with rice. Then we hurriedly went to their store to help
Walking with my cutie little cousin -Lhexine and her adorable Barbie Doll.
The sun is shining brightly since it's already late. Can you blame me? I was totally busy back there. It's fine- late is better than absent. Lol.
1 kilo eggplant, Squash, salt
Onion, garlic, dried fish,
calamansi and tomatoes
I totally forgot it was market day so, I was excited to see how much vegetables I could get. My aunt gave me ₱200 pesos, and I only spent ₱160 pesos. I actually love buying vegetables or groceries- errands like these makes my heart whimper in so much happiness. (Very exaggerated me)
I dropped everything off at home first and planned to stay longer to clean and do chores.
I grabbed breakfast first to fuel up before getting started.
Haggard face don't care? Lol..
Doing chores has been one of my stress relievers since college. I just can't move freely or feel comfortable when my surroundings are dirty and that habit has stuck with me until now.
Once I start cleaning, I can't stop. I also get distracted easily. For example, while washing the dishes I'll notice the sink is muddy, and the dish rack is dirty, I end up doing both at the same time- multitasking. Even if meals aren't ready yet or I'm in the middle of laundry, I can juggle them. I may go a slow pace, but I'd make sure everything gets done by the end of the day.
After being satisfied of how the kitchen turned out, I decided to take a bath while cleaning the bathroom. You see? Still multitasking.
Since I was tired and the house was too hot to stay in, I headed to the store.
Finally back at the store with my naughty cousin, Lhexine.
It's not busy during lunch time so we can actually get to rest and play at once.
Around 4p.m.,Aunt and I fixed the shelves a bit to make everything look neat and organized. I was right- the rack looked better than before. Seeing my aunt's satisfied was enough for me, I love being able to help. By 6p.m.,we headed home so I could cook dinner. I walked while my aunt took the motorcycle. I didn't want to ride with her- she's still learning to drive, and let's be real I'm too heavy for a beginner.😂
After a long, tiring day, this drink was my reward. I was exhausted, but keeping busy made me happy. I got so caught up in all the work that I forgot the stress I'd been carrying. Slowly but accomplished- and worth it.
