Due date for water bill is waving. I don't want to have a 10% additional payment for penalties when it is paid after due date. So, why wait for due date and find a very long queue if you can pay it on time?
The sub-collection office in our Barangay will open at 9am so, I and my son prepared early because I planned to just take a walk going there. If we will ride a tricycle, it will cost us 15.00 for one way and it means 30.00($0.6) for back and forth. If we take a walk, we can consume 15 to 20 minutes only.
I am not in a hurry because I'm done with all the house chores, so, let's go and let's have A WALK TO SAVE, TO RELAX AND TO EXERCISE.
We walk along the hot road for about 5 minutes but we had our hat and umbrella to protect us from the scorching heat of the sun. But after that, I folded my umbrella because we will pass through a shady area.
We then pass through here in the farmers market. You can find different fruits and vegetables here fresh from the farm. Some were expensive and some were cheap depending on the supply.
On the otherside, you can find a wet market. You can find different fish and meat according to your needs.
We pass through in the middle of them as a short cut instead of passing through the main road. We won't suffer from the heat of the sun here because of the shades of the trees and market.
I opened my umbrella again as we passed through beside this wall. The wall was painted with different colorful images. At the end of that wall, we can enjoy the shade of the trees again.
Look straight and you can find a narrow way yet a relaxing one because as you pass through this way you can feel the cold breeze of the air under the shades of the trees. You can no longer felt the hotness of the sun as the trees becomes your shelter.
Look left and you can find a corn field. It is soothing in the eyes as the corn leaves were so green. Look above and you can see the great sky covered with clouds.
Look right and you can find a mini gasoline station.
We walk slowly, stayed for a while under the trees to relax and enjoy the moment being there. My son felt tired and decided to rest.
After a while, he had energy again enough to run and jump along.
Then we reach the bottom of that narrow way and you can see this WE CANNERY SITE
If you go straight you can find the Health Center but since our plan is to pay our water bill then we go right.
My son can't stop running over and over again. He even went straight to the open field an run as he want. The green grasses is so good to see and it seems so good to sit on them. I also noticed those old tires being used as a decoration along the pathway. It is a good way to reuse and recycle.
Minute later and we reached the water district sub collection office and fortunately there's no one in the queue and I paid our bills directly. I also paid for the electric bills of our church and neighbor. Before I go, I told them that I will be going to pay our water bill and I can bring theirs too so they don't need to do so. They were so glad and thanked me for that.
We then follow the exit road. I found this reminder, STOP SMOKING and this reminder is for all of us to ponder upon.
We go back to the same way as I really like to be here. It is so relaxing and I love the cool breeze beneath.
When we are halfway, I found this old tree. It don't have branches anymore as people decided to cut them off for safety purposes. The tree is too old and its branches might fall accidentally or the strong winds during typhoons might uproot it and many will be affected.
That tree might dying but still it became a haven for birds and even this two little creature (I don't know it's name in english, we call it in Cebuano dialect as tabili). Can you spot them? It is like a big lizard and a shorter snake. I asked my son if he could see it and he said yes.
That was our short walk that enables us to sweat some, save 30.00 and relax our mind for a while.
This is my participation for a #WednesdayWalk initiated by
