Hello lovelies it's me again, how was your day so far? I wish you had a great and a productive Thursday.

Anyway since today is Thursday, I had decided to write a little throw back story about me. A story that happens during my teenage years 😁.

So way back 2004, and it was a summer vacation from school my mom for the first time invited me to come with her, as she wanna visit her younger brother who is residing at the countryside. Since I haven't meet my mom's brother yet, which is my uncle, I agreed. My mom don't usually like to invite me as she knows that I don't like traveling 😅, since then I am already a full house person. As an introverted person, I don't like exposing myself to the crowd so mostly I stayed at home. But because we will be going to the countryside side and I also wanted to meet my uncle I join my mom.

I remember we left home as early as 5:00 o'clock in the morning to rode the first bus going to my uncle place. Actually at first I feel confused why we leave early, as I know the place isn't really that far. Unfortunately my mom miss to inform me that my Uncles house was located at the bottom of the town. Which is literally far.😁

After three hours of traveling with the bus we finally arrived to their town and we again rode a motorcycle to take us to their barangay.

Anyway their motorcycle was called habal-habal. 🤣.

Then after 30 minutes of traveling with the motorcycle it's stop's in the farm. I thought we already arrived at our destination but I was wrong as it only stop's as it can't cross the fields, so we have to walk. Lol.

When we get off from the motorcycle my mom told us (me and my brother) that we were gonna walk for about 30 minutes to reach my Uncles house hahahahhaha. I was so confused that time as all I see was rice fields and so where else we will be going?😅 Then my mom says just follow my lead, so we just did.

Then we started walking in the middle of the rice fields. Luckily the sun wasn't hot that time and so I enjoyed our journey. From where we were walking I really can't see any house's, as all I see was the wide range of rice fields. The place was really beautiful. Then after walking for about 30 minutes I finally saw people and house's. Some of the people there knows my mom and they invited to have some drinks as we are already looks tired 😅.

After resting for a bit we then continue walking. The journey is quite tiring but seeing the greenery field makes the journey worthy.

Furthermore another 20 minutes of walking had passed we finally reached the last house in the village and it was literally located at the bottom of the fields 😅. There house was just too simple and it was made by Nipa and bamboo shoots. The surroundings was also filled with silence as they don't have any neighbors.

When we arrive at their yard my mom called, and a woman that I think was already at her 40's came out, followed by the two young kids which I think was already ten years old and seven. The two kids run to hug my mom while the woman open their door and let us in,she then called her husband and from outside a man who I think was also at his 40's came out and it was too surprised as he us.

He immediately approach us with joy and he asked my mom if we we're his niece and nephew and my mom says that we are. From his face I can see, how happy he was to meet us and I am as well.

He then introduced us to his two daughters, which our cousin's. Both of them are too shy to great us and so I was the one who approached them. They are nice they are just too shy.

Their living was just too simple, but they are happy and contented. They don't have electricity as they only use gas lamp as their light during the night time. They don't have tap water and they only get their drinking water from the water whale. However the worst part that I can say, was they don't have toilet and if you wanna go pee and poo you have to go to the nearest river and do your me time there. Hahahaha. This is one of the reason why I can't forget that journey 🤣🤣😂😂.
