Simplicity Of Life In Province

After a long time that I stayed in City, 6 years in Manila and almost 4 years in Cagayan De Oro I really long to go back and live in our province for a while. My partner lives in CDO so that would be the place I am going to settle down since I am already building my own family, it's always the tradition that woman should go to her husband's place but depends on the situation too.

Right now, I am here in our province which is Bukidnon where our life style is very raw and simple. I missed how I used to lived before, some people doesn't like going back to their old life style especially if they already experience living in cities but I was different. It's like getting in touch with nature again is somehow fulfilling to me.

Sneak peak of how we lived in our province

I'll show you what does province life is, the simplicity you'll see even if the technology is now trying to invade the world but in remote provinces we can still see the raw stuffs without technology interference.

Cooking using fire woods

We still cook using dry woods, to cook our food. We actually have the gasul but since we have to make this chicken feet tender we choose to cook it in dirty kitchen to save some gas. I missed seeing this one, cooking food using woods because it's been a long time I haven't done this.

Washing laundry by hands

We didn't have water connection yet, we plan to tap up but due to Christmas break tapping water will be back on January so we have to was besides the road because we only tap on our neighbors water line.

Unlike with my in-laws house we have automatic washing machine where washing laundry becomes easy but this time we have to do it manually. I don't mind though, my daughter enjoyed playing bubbles and keep messing around with my mother and sister.

Making fence from bamboo

My younger brother build our fence from bamboo's we get the other day in the woods. Since we came here the house doesn't have fence and some dogs just came to our place and poop. We are feed up cleaning their poop.

This also to make sure my daughter won't runaway in our home. Since she's been well she's fun of staying outside and there are some vehicle passing by, with the fence at least she's safe.

Picking raw plants

Our village is near the sugar cane farm, we can peak some if we want to sip some sugar cane juice, but I don't recommend to do it though the owner will be mad haha!

We can also find some wild root crops such as cassava and Xanthosoma sagittifolium - a root crops tuber that can be cooked same with sweet potatoes and yams.

Closing Thoughts

Living in province somehow uneasy compared to the city because malls and groceries are near compared in here we have to ride for almost two kilometers just to go to the grocery if we want to.

Merchandise price is also pricy than in the city because of the transportation cost their price is 2x fold than in the city.

But despite these things, I still enjoy it. Low-key life somehow breathable than extravagant life style as it has less pressure.

I enjoyed these things and I'm never be ashamed to share it.

Thank you for reading!

Life in province is definitely healthier, people are not used to "Instant" things, like noodles, grocery, water, etc. They work for it, they fetch water, make food, and plant foods, etc. Moreover, aur is fresher, and less population is common. Lesser noise population, and relaxed surroundings. I believe people in province live longer than people in the city.😄

In simplicity, we often find the beauty of things. Living away from the city and in a simple way, is in many occasions more comforting.

Living in the province can't compare to another place. Walang katulad ang masariwa na simoy ng hangin dito. I was been in Manila almost 1 year but I could say that province life is da best at all 💗

Ang ganda ng lugar nyo sis. Kaya ako mas prefer ko din tlga sa probinsya, halos kung ano sa city kahit papano eh meron ndin naman dto samin. Mas presko pa yung sources tlga ng tubig at pagkain. Plus na din mga taong happy happy lng kasama kahit may Marites iilan lng medyo di nman mgkakalapit ang bahay dito, di tulad sa city halos bungad anjan na sla.

Ang sarap po kaya ng ulam lalo pag niluto sa kahoy. Never pa po ako nakatira sa any province buong buhay ko kaya ngayon gustong gusto ko na maexperience. Nakakapressure at stress kasi dito every day di tulad sa probinsiya, kumbaga parang lahat chill lang.

I see all these traditional functions as what everyone should know. They should be seen as basic knowledge because, if you are good with them, you definitely can adapt to any household situations. Thanks. In my place, we all these you mentioned even though there are modern ways to get them done with ease. Thanks

Yeah these stuffs are basic knowledge but people who lived in the city for their entire life will never know this since they don't experience it at all or maybe just by camping.

I love province ma'am Eybyoung. It's really simple. It is peace. You can relax. I love chicken feet ma'am, cook like an Adobo then put some a chilli to make it spicy. It's really delicious.🤤

I prefer to live in the province ma'am than cities. When I was still a student that time, I always excited to have a job in city then when I started to work there I realized that it's better to live in the province but it's depend also of the person ma'am.

Hehe I love sugar cane.😁❤️

Mas maganda pa rin sa province sis kasi may mga pagkain na di kailangan gumastos para makain yun. Gaya ng saging na tanim, syempre di na kailangan bumili.. Ako mas prefer ko tumira sa province kesa city. ☺️

Masarap ang lutong ulam at kanin kapag kahoy ang ang gamit. Di gaya pag rice cooker, iba ang lasa. Ang di ko makalimutan yung mahirap kakaihip para lang umapoy lalo pag di pa masyadong patay yung kahoy na panggatong 😅
