Bonding with Nature: A Short Walk with the "Grumpy Dog" Nognog

Life is beautiful, but only if you choose to be happy. Your view in life will make a big changes and only then, you will be truly happy. Those every little thing in life, you will learn to appreciate it more, you will see the worth even the withered flower that was lying on the ground and you will feel contentment on the cold breeze while being enveloped with natures. Isn't that amazing?

After our walk in the Garden of Aunt Velyn to harvest some Jackfruit, we all decided to get inside the house again. We are actually waiting for someone, that's the business my Mom is talking about that she has to take care of. The set time for the meeting was 9 a.m, but they arrive so late, like I think it's already 10 when she arrive, seriously!

But or course, I didn't just sit still here while waiting for them to arrive. I also decided to have a walk on my own in Aunt Velyn's little garden after sitting for a minutes. I am so bored to death at that time that, to ease that, I need to go for a walk, far from the oldies. And that was the best decision I ever made because I enjoyed it.

We have good weather to just let his chance pass by without doing anything. The weather is Sunny, I regret not bringing my mini fan with me, tsk, but no worries on my short walk because of those tall trees everywhere which help cover me from the mad Mr. Sunny, still, what a lovely day.

And I am not alone on that mini-walk of mine because I have a companion with me. Though I know his reason for following me is not to accompany me but to watch me, Even with the loud music coming on my headphones, I can't beat his loud bark at me, lol. Talk about grumpy doggo, lol, or he just wants to make sure that I won't steal any fruit on his Mom's territory, lol.

Alright, while the doggo is admiring my beauty, ehermmmmmm, lol, I also began to admire this tree. I mean, it is like a tree that you can often see in a forest. It is a Valencia tree, but there's another plant hugging that big tree. I am not sure, though, of the name of the other one. How about you?

I'm also curious with these strip like plants hanging into it. Is it a fruit or what? I'm not really sure, but it looks pretty cute. It also has a unique color with a green and maroon line on each side, isn't that so unique. I tried to look at it using Google Lens, but the result is different, which is so sad.

Here's the forest-like garden in Aunt Velyn's house, isn't it really pretty? I feel like putting a swing just beside that tree will surely looks beautiful in there. But I'm not sure if those trees can hold it. But just the idea of doing it is really exciting.

Not too far away on this tree were these cute flowers. Seriously, I feel the loneliness of those flowers, lol. I only see one to three flowers, and they are very far apart from each other (sad life), or maybe they also have their own territory here, lol.

So guys, are you familiar with this tree and its fruit? In the Philippines we call it "Rambutan." According to google, Rambutan means "hairy," (I only discover about that too, thanks to google.) As you can see, it is really hairy, it looks like that, but it a very delicious fruits, one of my favorite, I might say.

And Aunt Velyn has a tree of this in her garden, for which I am really thankful because I get to eat it for free. It also has different varieties, and this one just so happens to be one of my favorites, which is called Rongrien. It's really amazing. This is the kind of Rambutan that, even if it's still a little green, you can already eat it, and it is so sweet. I'm excited to eat it again. I wish this had ripened sooner.

And after staying for 10 minutes in this part I decided to have a walk at the back of the house. And then this dog is still following me, lol. A real dog watcher huh, lol. Then a bunch of cat come out, oh lala, so kawaii. But I can't even get close to them, they are a little hostile to me. Seriously, meow, I won't do anything to you, meow, come on, lol.

And, OMG! Guys, guys, let me share this one with you all. I so love this one. Do you know what it's called? It's so red, pretty, and lively. Actually, it is not me who captures it. When we got there, those red and pretty flowers were already gone. They withered easily, I think. And I only get the green version of it, like in a fruits it's not fully ripe yet, lol, something like that.

Here's the unripe version, even this one looks really pretty. For sure, by this time it already bloom again, it's sad that I couldn't see it with my own eyes.

Good thing Aunt Velyn show this to me, she knows that I like taking photos of flowers or anything. In fact, when she saw me taking a lot of photos in her garden that day, that's when she told me about these flowers, showed me her cellphone, and even said that I could get a copy of them. And of course I get mine a copy, I mean, it is so pretty just to let it pass, right? ฅ^•ﻌ•^ฅ

And as I about to leave this side, I decided to have my selfie in this garden as my background, because why not, it looks cool as a background, though I look like a lizard in these pictures, haha.

And when I got back inside the house, this is what greeted me. Mommy D is cutting Mommy F's hair. By the way, we bought that hair set she's using on Mom in Shopee, now she's the official hairdresser of Mommy F. Hahaha, what's the right term again? Aghh, whatever, they look cute in here, you know. I love this picture. They look like they're not fighting sometimes, lol.
