I just wanted to buy some crabs but the Beach was so tempting – Life in the countryside.

As I posted in my previous blogs, I decided to go home for a vacation in my hometown, countryside to be specific. Been staying for days in our house as my parents are both senior citizens so they are quite emotional already. They will get mad at me if I don't stay and spend time with them. Though my Mother kept on nagging me from time to time, just like the old days. The other day, she’s been reprimanding me as early as six in the morning because of some household chores I did which doesn’t fit her “STANDARD”. She even told me to wake up as for her, I’d been sleeping too long but as I have mentioned, it’s only six in the morning. She was also nagging my nieces to wake up and do this and that since it's weekend. Even though I am still sleepy, I decided to leave the bed with a smile on my lips. I find it funny, some memories of the past rush into my head. Life in the countryside was really different.

After a while my sister asked me to accompany her in visiting their house which is just in another municipality. They owned a tricycle so we don’t have a problem with the transportation.

It was fine weather as I could see the blue skies with beautiful clouds. This is what I missed here as I could seldom see scenery like this in the city. Maybe because life was too busy and I no longer had time to look up at the sky.
What about those trees beside the road? Isn’t it refreshing?

We are supposed to go straight in their house but my brother in law mentioned if I wanted to eat some crabs. Though I am allergic with seafoods, just thinking of fresh and delicious crabs makes my mouth watered. When I said yes, he decided to detour going along the seaside. It was still early so for sure we can still buy something from the local fisherman's in his place.

Unlike in the main road, going to the place you needed to pass by this dirty road.

It was also residential area so there are some fruits planted beside such as bananas.

Few more minutes and I could already see the SEA.

Did you catch the glimpsed of seaside?
I was actually expecting to see the green rice fields along the road as farming is one of the sources of income in this place aside from fishing. Yet, the fields were empty. Others were just done harvesting while others decided not to pursue farming. I guess it was because of the recent issues in farming here in my country.
Aside from that, local farmers here are already old and they could no longer manage to do it manually. Most of their children opted to move and work in the city or outside the country. Somehow I could not help but to worry, what if many would not be interested in Farming?

When we arrived, some fishermen were along the seashore happily chatting with each other. I overheard them discussing several issues from national, to local, even up to their neighbors' lives.
It was the brother-in-law who was doing the transaction so my sister and I opted to take a walk along the seashore.

Seems only few fishermen were left and all I could see were their boats in dock and some equipments used for fishing. Though I grew up on an island, I was in a mountainous area so I am not familiar with it. I don't have an idea how to use it to be honest.
I was planning to go with them maybe some other time but I was hesitant. I might mess up.

Few more walks and the view is getting better. The clean seashore with golden sand, crystal blue water, the fine weather plus no one is here aside from us, OMG, I was so tempted to take a dip! Though the sun is already up and I am not wearing swimming clothes, it doesn't stop me from jumping in. But wait, I wanted to take some photos of myself for memories.

I found this spot perfect and hey @jijisaurart , let me borrow your pose for a while.

The water was so refreshing! I think it's been three months since the last time I visited a beach and it was kind of crowded. As expected since it was summer time. Not only that but I spent some penny unlike here the Beach is FREE.
Nobody joined me as I think people living in the area are no longer interested. It was like I was in a private resort, lol.

My sister and her husband are just waiting for me at the seaside and I swam until my heart content and didn't stop not until I got those tan lines.

When I got tired, we went into the house of his friend (the fisherman) to buy some crabs which he caught the other night. Literally fresh from the sea and it was still alive. He sell it for $4 per kilo.

The fisherman was about to place the crabs in a an eco bag but when he saw me holding my phone, he halted and asked me shotan mo? ( means are going to take a picture?). I laughed as it seemed even people in the countryside are now fond of taking photos.

When were done, we decided to go home in my sister's house and yeah, I, with my wet clothes on. I only wanted to buy some crabs, but the beach was so tempting!

I got a satisfied tummy after! Oh, by the way just in case you are not aware, here's a tip. If you wanted to eat crabs which is fatter or with aligue choose the female one. How? See the back portion, the female crabs has a wider abdomen plates ( correct me if I mentioned a wrong term)

I was simply carried away by the ocean's blue colour. Are you not the fortunate one?

Nobody can claim to have a hometown with such a gorgeous beach.

I would like to take your place, even for just one hour.

It was refreshing! Even the dip in the beach. Such great beauty in the photos and the prose. I'm not too fond of crab but have eating some during my life. The place is absolutely gorgeous and a bit of nagging and the rest makes up for the balance on the beauty of the landscape.

Indeed! I felt so alive after having a dip but got tired after😅..i even play with the waves..
Crabs are delicious to the point I wasn't able to resist eventhough I am allergic..just taking the oppurtunity as it was kinda expensive in the city.

Thank you for dropping by!

Ha, ha, ha, ha. Sound like my allergy to citrus fruit. Something I usually ignore when I want to eat some. Having a dip at the sea is something that's kissing from my life. I need to have one. Maybe all my problems would wash away.

Haha, isn't that is the purpose of anti allergies medicines? 😅

What are you waiting for, hit the beach😅, and have a relaxing day.

Problems is always with us, but would forget about it once in awhile

Yeah, the thing is that the beach is far away from my house and I don't have friends to go with. It makes no sense but it's a better activity when you have people to watch over your belongings. 😂

Hard to argue against that logic!

the beauty that you share is very good, and I have never seen such extraordinary beauty, and I also have never felt the coolness of the sea water that was there at that time?
