Sneak Peek at the Market: Making Every Second Count

Good day, lovely Hivers! As the person who watches my daycare sibling, it's almost inevitable that I will need to buy food, supplies, medicine, etc., at the store. Since my sister's school is also close to the market, I am used to buying things there when my parents or my aunt need something. So, before my sister's class started, I planned everything out. Oh, plan activated! This included when to leave to buy things, because I first needed to observe her, then ask permission from her before I go, and ensure she's comfortable and doesn't need anything. When I have the opportunity to leave, I also need to come back quickly. It was just like a sneak peek at the market 😉. Time is precious , we should use it wisely. This is it! The plan is in motion! Let's go!  Before going to the market, I always waited for the teacher to give the first task. In order to have peace of mind while buying, I had to let my sister finish the first task first so I could proceed with my next step. It's not that I wouldn't have peace of mind if this didn't happen, I'm just more complacent when she finishes something. One task was enough, and for the rest of the tasks, I let my sister do them by herself. So after that, this is where it all started.   Oh really? I was in a hurry but I still wanted to take a snap. Seriously though , wearing this jacket makes me feel safe. I don't know why , but I feel so comfortable wearing it. So just let me have this opportunity for a few seconds 🤗.   So , after taking some photos of myself, I went straight to the market. My first stop was at the pharmacy to buy vitamins. I was supposed to buy 8 capsules , but the pharmacist asked if it was okay to buy 10 capsules so I could pay 80 pesos in total , since 1 capsule costs 8 pesos. Guard C Plus was my vitamin before , but there came a time when I felt better, so I stopped taking it to save money. But now , I can feel that my immune system is lacking again, and my parents noticed it, so we decided that I should take vitamins again. Some people don't take vitamins because they have good immune systems, and I even know some of them. I have nothing else to say but "wow. Unlike them, I don't have a healthy immune system , so I really need to take this now. Vitamins are good for a healthy body and a healthy life 😉.   Next, I went to a store where I could buy Nutri Grow, as my aunt told me. I bought 5 kilos of it, along with construction paper for my sister, in case her teacher needed it for a project. I made sure to get 10 different colors so she would have everything she needed for whatever her teacher required.   After I bought everything , I decided to go back to school. But then I thought about stopping at a bakery to buy some bread. Oh, a tasty bread! Happy belly, happy mood—kidding! I bought two Graciosa with icing because they're so sweet, especially with the toppings. At only 6 pesos each, they're really worth it and it's filling. After buying them, I went straight to school to eat them.    As I came back, the surroundings were very quiet. There were no people on the street so it was really nice to walk around here even for a while. Just a little break from the hustle and bustle of the days. At school, I noticed that the student guardians were already entering so I was sure they were eating for their recess. And I wasn't wrong , they had started eating.   And since I was already hungry , I ate the bread I bought earlier. Look at it, it looks so delicious , and it tasted so sweet. This is the bread I often buy at Julie's Bakery because of its toppings. Oh, maybe I should just buy the toppings instead of the bread, haha, just kidding. And that's all for today's blog, just a sneak peek at the market. This highlights the importance of valuing our time. Every second, minute or hour has a unique value that we should recognize. Time is so precious , and it's crucial to use it wisely. Until next time, thank you for reading!
