"Province Vibe"
Have you ever experienced waking up in the morning, instead hearing CAR noise, Engine cracking from every direction, you will hear the wind blowing slowly, waking up in bed opening the window, a cold breeze touching your skin, sunrise and sunset always present, birds flying and singing, everything is peaceful, you can only hear nature doing its thing, if you live in Province, you will always catched the phrase and relate :) If I have the chance to choose where to live.
City or province?
If I may give the chance to choose, I would and will always pick Provinces to live with my family, I will always prefer watching tall trees, and tall mountains to buildings and sky scrappers, I would always prefer bird chirping to cars engine cracking, I will always prefer to catch our own fish and crabs on small streams for free than buying it on market. I will always prefer living in a province with a peaceful vibe, people in small towns may be few but our childhood will always be the best, playing in mud, climbing on trees, doing physical activities, and finding fruits in spot areas we already know exist when its mango season, we know where to find mango trees, when its guava season, we know where to find those kinds of trees and thats is one of the perks living in province
Living in Province Save Money
We don't cope with the new technology era, we don't use high-tech ovens, automatic heaters, rice cookers, or even stoves, living in the province most of the people still use firewood, in some forests nearby, we are aware of the quote "survival of the fittest" it is also applicable to trees, inside the jungle tall trees survives, funneling all the nutrients of the sun while small trees die, we tend to see this small dead trees inside the jungle, cutting it easily and put it in a large hog sack, and bring it home for free firewood, instead of spending 14$ for buying a stove and gas tank, we use firewood for free and that means a lot to us with small income per month as an office worker :) Random bananas, guava, coconut, and some sort of vegetables, we can plant our own useful crops or birds do their job to spread the useful plants to grow randomly everywhere, here in our small town we have lots of banana trees growing randomly in our surroundings, and guess what ? we don't need to buy them from the market because its already in our backyard, if we tend to crave eating bananas, we just go out and find some perfectly ripe bananas, if we tend to quench our thirst with style, we climb to coconuts nearby and if we are bored we can go out to the streams with our fish nets and crab catchers, finding crabs on our way to the falls and eat all our catch to the site where there are beautiful waterfalls. thats one of many perks living in province.
Ten Billion Star Hotel
Province vibe, we are just humans, we don't stop exploring, and doing things we don't usually do every day, and as part of our nature, we love adventure, climbing to mountain peaks, not an easy trek, heading up with steep terrains, adventure time is a lot fun and where say living in a 5-star hotel is the best experience in the city, but little do they know, spending overnight with nature in a mountain peak can be called ten billion star hotel, with our tent, pack bag full of goodies, little liquors to tone the mood, some meat and rice to fill up our gut , we don't do it every day but its one of the best feeling to spend with the one you love :)
Living in a province may be simple, quiet and some say boring, but we don't mind what others say, we continue our life to the fullest, and we only live once, so why not spend it on the things you know what's better and good for you :) enjoy life with style, don't stay on your comfort zone, go out, think out of the box, and be a human being who strives to explore and learn something in every experiences in our lives :)
Lovely perspective of life, lovely couple, lovely province, and lovely writing. May you continue to see the good in everything in life! Bless you Erick! :)
