Would You Wear This?

 

P10806200

Today at the China town, the temperature is so humid my blood sugar pumped up my brain I could feel headache already. Despite this and the busy street, I held my wife’s hands on our stroll.

Partly, I had to hold her hands so, I would not leave her behind on our proselyte of the Uranguren Street China town for mobile stocks. I would usually entangle into mild arguments with her whenever she would make a halt for some incomprehensively quick nor ‘wait a while’ check up of whatever catches her eyes.

But, this one catches both our eyes alright. I am not usually fond of stuff girlies but these colors were just fun to watch. Just as usual, the Chinese owner would claim few gems or marbles are original like the green and the blue ones. Others are synthetic. Nevertheless, I think I love to watch her wear it. Might bring some luck to our transactions that day on.

After a while, five minutes or so, with my eyebrows lined depressed and mood boiled up by the heat of the day, I would ask, “Are you buying? Which one did you choose?”. She would then reply, “Nope, too expensive … but I like it”. Or, “too fancy! We’ll come back next time.”

I am usually a fast walker and she just can not stand the cadence. Sometimes I suspect she would make a halt on purpose because she like me holding her hands on our proselytes. Of course, I am considerate and would usually suppress my negative moods and would just think of it that way.

I only I own a nice air-conditioned car today. But, I don’t. So, I have to bear the nasty walks of the streets of Davao City. Someday, soon enough, this kind of struggle might change. Ahead of time, just in case, indeed if things should get really great for me here, I would never forget that things great in life are grown mountains because of great first steps and endurance of the walks in life. Meanwhile, I’ll be enjoying this moments of walking under the sun with my love of my life.

Ah, shopping and women are so made for each other. But if it's the woman of our life we're with we just suck in our impatience and deep sense of foreboding, right? ahahaha. Cool. ",)
