We went to our property in Victoria, Laguna to visit not only the house nor the market, but to harvest camias, ilang-ilangs, and mirasols as well in our small garden patch beside the house. It was sooo fun! The garden was full of camia shoots and there was this big ilang-ilang tree and a couple of mirasol shrubs. Ang ganda nga e! And the air reeked the smell of pleasant flowers. It was a medley of scents that danced in the air. Papa had this big pail and we would all deposit the flowers there. It was amazing to pick the camias. You have to pick them in a manner that you do it quick and with a jerky movement. Otherwise, you'll end up breaking the stalk.
Aside from picking flowers, it was fun to see again the house. The view from the third floor was fantastic! You could see the mountain range from there and the clouds that kiss the mountains' summit. Truly breathtaking. And the wind that enters through the windows breathes life into the house. Pwede nang hindi mag-electric fan, ang lakas ng hangin e, haha.
Masaya talaga ang buhay. I love my life... :)
