A light walk for a tired mind, when our mind is already expecting amazing things from the place we want to visit, aside from excitement, our expectation of happiness can surely help our mind and not just our body to feel better. We'll start to wonder what we will do first once we reach the place, and isn't it a good way to divert your tired mind into fun and something more amazing, just like that? ┏(＾0＾)┛

Our mind will start to feel lighter, knowing that what's waiting for us in that place is enough to affect our mood from sadness to joy, or maybe from anger to excitement. That's why an unplanned or planned walk or trip into somewhere amazing - if we know it can make us feel good in so many ways, we'll look forward to it like it is a promise of paradise, especially for those who seek a fun adventure. Like you ＼(^o^)／.

Mom dragged me somewhere again to do some business. And because I knew we're about to go somewhere cool and amazing, I couldn't help but wonder, What's the new thing we can discover on that short walk? Although walking is fun, we can't deny that doing it is still tiring. But I know too that it is just the one thing I have to endure to experience something more amazing after that long walk and when we finally reach out destination <(￣︶￣)>.

You know what's amazing about nature? They will never turn their backs on us because they will always stay in one place. And we can come back anytime to witness their beauty, at least they listen to our rants about life even though they can't give advice. Still, their beauty is enough to lift our mood. It will never fail to make us feel better. Does nature make you feel better?

And here's an amazing encounter with this beautiful thing. I think, just like me, it is enjoying the beautiful view in the surroundings while also staying in this particular plant. It's a good thing it didn't fly away when I walk toward it, unlike what a butterfly always did whenever I attempted to take their photo. Just a small noise will make it move, which is really sad.

And here's a plant with purple leaves. It's beautiful. I'm curious if it blooms a flower, and if it did, is it purple too? This one's growing in a tree, and seeing the tall tree in between them made me smile because, seriously, it's beautiful that way. Whoever planted and design them did a great job. It gives a unique touch to the plants and the tree. Right? ( ◜‿◝ )

And here's another amazing and unique spot in here. The Santan Fields - it's like a wide field of beautiful Santan in a distance, although they were planted in that special spot, at the center of the road, but it really looks like a field. They were in bloom when I took this photo, they are so red and pretty. This Santan is Jungle Flame in English, according to Google. It has a cool name too, no? I have a lot of fun and exciting memories about these flowers from when I was a kid. That's why I'll never forget this. Our elementary school was still full of this kind of flower, and in different colors too. It's amazing that they have different colors. If it's your favorite color, you can just choose it. We have this color too at home, in fact, I just shared some of it in my recent article. Hihi.

And here's another pretty flower I saw on the way, this time it is pure white. It's beauty is just mesmerizing, and it's really surprising how a flower can look so white like this. My white shirt can't even compare to its pure white color (≧▽≦). How about your white clothes or anything that white? Is it cleaner than this, or is this one just different?

We finish our walk with a happy heart, achieving the business we attended here. It's in the bank, actually, and it's wonderful that their place was also surrounded with this beauty. It looks more like a home than a bank to me. This bank really looks like an approachable teller who'll never give you an attitude. ƪ(˘⌣˘)ʃ
