How life changes from City to the countryside.
As I am sitting in front of my laptop, trying to entertain myself from boredom all I can hear is the sound of the electric fan and the fridge. Oh, also the chirping birds from the outside from time to time. If only I am 100% there will be no emergency, probably I am still in Manila right now. Still working at the end of the month. Yet, as I don't want to put myself and the baby at risk, here I am staying at home for two weeks already.
After spending weeks, I noticed that my expenses decreased day by day. Unlike when I am in the city sometimes I would go buy take away foods. Maybe my Boss was bored and we would go to Starbucks to buy some juice.
As mentioned in my previous blog, how much it will cost while here you can buy fresh dragon fruits for $1.
Even with meals, I stopped buying at fast foods not unless I was out with my in-laws. Instead, I cooked simple meals, usually veggies. I searched that cramps could be lessened if I avoid greasy foods.
Does anyone know these? Nope it's not a flower plant but rather a vegetable.
Sigarilyas in our language or also called as Winged beans.
This vegetable was in the group of vines and often grows in tropical countries. Also, this doesn't need to be highly cared for in order to grow or bear fruits. It just clanged on into tree twigs or you could make one.
It depends on your preferences, cook it along with other vegetables whatever dishes could be. I prefer it to steam then dip in sauce ; either fish or soy sauce, vinegar and spices. Then pair it with boiled eggs and Rice.
And yeah a hot chocolate drink in the morning. There are times I wanted to eat fried dried fish but my OBGYNE told me to avoid salty food as much as possible.
Ah, how my life was in peace and been so simple these days, It feels like I was back in the old one during my childhood.
Like having a boiled banana in the morning for breakfast. Some days I crave chocolate cake early in the morning. BUT this is the only available food to eat. Not unless I will go to the town proper or order via food delivery. Thus, not of those I like to choose, so ended up with this.
Oh yeah, there are times I missed the city, the convenience but also a part of me doesn't, LOL.

Very seldom buy quick food made in stores, found it expensive, not quite what one expects. Special restaurants used to be a go to for a meal, really a night out which is no longer something we do either. Home cooked is best, you know what you eating after doing preparation yourself.
Good to take a break, be ready for when baby arrives.

When children were young we had the good fortune of being able to enjoy some meals out on weekends, no delivery services back then!
Home cooked every day since I was young, I suppose it becomes a habit, one can relax and have some fun with.

One of the adjustments you will experience in living in the province while you're already used to city life is the access. 😁 Yong may gusto kang puntahan pero ang hirap kasi walang jeep na dumadaan.😁 But, the peace of the province is better. Yun na lang, isipin na lang ang postive things.😊
Hindi Naman mahirap sakayan Dito, pero mas iba lng kapag sa city

Nice ma'am 😊 You can go anywhere if may cravings ka.😊
Are you moving for good or just temporary? idk why sometimes village living pretty nice but also has its cons 🤣
I think this will be for good as no one will take care of the baby .
That left me with no choice but to resign from my job.
Yeah, it's nice to live in the village, just there are times it's not 😂
ooh, I am sure you can find any remote position hehe. That would be of help especially when the baby is a lot older
Be healthier without those takeaway foods!
Haha yeah, I need to for now 😂
Sounds like you are having a nice time away from the city. The cravings can be mad but it's good that you are taking the healthier side :)
Sigarilyas pala tawag don sa veg na yon. D ko man alam haha. Sa ibang bansa ko pa natikman.
Take care sis and enjoy your moments :)

Nilagang saging, one of my Favorite. I also noticed that mug Ma'am and it is very nice. ☺️
There are disadvantages and advantages when you live both in cities or in the countryside. But I guess you have to choose what's best for you and the baby :) Be healthy and God bless you always.
Kaya mas gusto ko mamuhay sa probinsya dahil simple lang ang pamumuhay eh at yung gulay talaga. Plus your expenses is very low compared to the city. Mas relaxing rin. And I think most of the introvert person like me mas prefer ang katahimikan dito kesa sa maingay na city.hehe
Hehe notice ko nga bumaba expenses ko.
Pero siguro kasi walang unnecessary na bili 🤣
