The bonds we create are treasures to keep

"Treasure! That is what you are" says the song by Bruno Mars.

That is what popped in my head as I read the prompt for today.

When you think of treasure, what comes to your mind? Is it the material things? Money? Investments? Your loved ones? Your friends? Your achievements?

For me, it is the bond with people that matters the most. It's the people you treasure and who treasure you too.

However, for this prompt, it is all about an item that I treasure the most. I am not that materialistic. I don't have any investment or properties that I own. I only have my laptop and my phone and that's it. They are equally important to me. They are the items that I treasure the most. I used my phone mostly to take photos and to keep memories alive for as long as I can whenever I look back at those photos. The laptop I use to work. It is my bread and butter.

That's it really. There's nothing more further that I can talk about.

The other prompt is about a happy memory from my childhood.

Childhood is something that most want to relive again and again. I say most because we can't discount the fact that not all of us have had a happy childhood.

If I am to choose a happy memory, it would be the time when our neighbor took me and my sister to a trip to their province. If I remember correctly, that is the first time I was away from home. Having lived in the highlands, I got used to the colder climate so to travel to the lowlands is an adjustment for me. It is a new territory and not used to the hot weather there.

What I vividly remember was every night, there was no electricity. What our neighbors have instead are solar panels that is the source of their power at night.

I also remember being awaken by the horn of the pan de sal (bread) vendor in the early hours of the morning before the sun was up. I'm not sure why I couldn't recall anymore about our trip there. That was the first and last that we went there. Then our neighbors sold their house and moved some place else.

I have been to that province a lot of times but never to that particular town again although I would have wanted to if only I remember where exactly was it and I haven't been in contact with our former neighbors. I have fond memories of them because we spend a lot of time with them back then and we were playmates with their kids.

So there goes my prompts for today. I only have five more questions left for both these prompts and it seems to be harder and harder to finish as I am getting close. It's because I have been spending more time in Hive now. When I first started these prompts, it looks like a behemoth task but now that I am just down to five questions I feel good about myself. I may not be doing it every day which is how the challenge should be done. Unfortunately, with the way we are being rewarded nowadays, it seems like not a good idea to post one a day at least for me.

Anyway, I hope you are having happy weekend so far.
