Running an Errand for the Oldie, The Four O'clock Flower in Front of a Restaurant, and Our Afternoon Snacks, Cassava Suman

The plan was to go there earlier, as I noticed Mommy F wants me to go there at an earlier time. But she will be left alone if I go there early because Mommy D had to go visit her sister that just got discharged from the hospital, so it's actually just the two here right now. So I told her I will just go there with Mama after lunch. And she said okay. And here we are now having a walk to go visit the nearby Padala Center where I will withdraw some money in Mommy F's ATM.

What a nice day for Monday. The weather's just fine for a short walk. Thanks to the cold breeze, the walk is more enjoyable even though my armpit sweats a little. Lol. After the three day hellish weather in the past days, now we're back again with gloomy weather. It's super scary how often the weather change just like this. I read in the news that some city will experience a high heat index, particularly in Manila. That's why there's a cancellation of classes too. Aigoooo. Stay safe, everyone! And stay hydrated, drink plenty of water, aye.

I'm just glad that we have nice weather today. Going outside like this is not too tiring, and we can actually take our time walking. Aside from that, the cold breeze really helps too. By the way, I saw a tea and cafe on our way there, it's 28, 38 Cafe. I think those numbers are the price of their drinks. I never really check it. When I read the word "cafe" in one shop, I feel like their drink would be too expensive for me, so I didn't dare going inside. I avoid it, to be honest, lol. Although I'm curious, I just can't push myself to check it. Lol. I'm shy, omg. Lol

On the opposite side of the cafe was this Ukayan, a thrift shop. Now this is where I belong and won't hesitate to check some. They are new here, before this, this particular spot was a restaurant, but I guess they already closed down. Or maybe they just move somewhere. They are actually in a nice spot, it's near a school. Maybe there's not enough customer to maintain it, who knows? I never tried buying from their restaurant because we have one near our house.

We're nearing our destination and saw some vendors on the other side selling vegetables. I hope they already sold a lot of their crops.

Here are some other pretty things I saw on our way. A pretty flower with a scientific name, Mirabilis Jalapa, according to Google, its English name is Marvel of Peru or four o'clock flower. What an interesting name, it sounds unique and pretty too. They are growing on the side road in front if a restaurant, and any passerby can enjoy it. Then there's that spiky one, the last photo. I think it's called sandburs. You step on it, and you'll go "ouchy." Lol.

We finally arrived, but we had to wait for 20 minutes because they are having an afternoon break, which is between 12 and 1 pm. No choice but to wait. So while waiting, I'm just listening to music. Do you see that dog there? That's Creamy White, he came with us again. And look how he's patiently waiting too. Cute! Lol. After minutes of waiting, the teller finally opened the counter again. And because I'm the only one in there, I finished my business in just a minute.

When I get home, I see Ka Rosie, the old couple's friend downstairs, who often visits them. And she has this Suman made of cassava. I always love her Suman because it's not too sweet, and it is bigger too compared to the other. It actually surprised me that she's selling each fir for only 5 pesos. While some sell theirs for like 3 for 25 or more. But well, I hope she still got a lot of profit by selling this. According to her, she's the one who made this. Anyways, I bought 6 pieces of this, and we ate it as our early afternoon snack. UwU.
