My 2018-This is my Hobby:Photography and Gardening

My hobby is just like my daily routine and source of my living.Thank you @anomadsoul for this contest.It is a chance for me to go on sailing while steeming because I was trying my life to go on beyond but long before frustration met me in the middle,but actually at the end I found myself survived.Well,it's not too bad! Glory to God for His faithfulness hoping for an improvement to my self confident again in #steemit

Im Deborah from Philippines loves to take a picture with plants around me.I really love photography and nature lovers,presently living in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.

May I tell you first my life before,the reason why I missed and make it as my hobby now.I was raised by my parent living in the province.Farming were the basic source of our daily livelihood.My father then was harvesting coconut wine so we coud have instant money for daily allowance.My mother also was a dressmaker.When I was nine years old I begun helping in the farm.There was a time my father my mother and me worked in the farm of my mother's auntie for a daily basis salary.I was too young so they paid me half of the basic amount.We were contented and it was already our weekend routine after my school days especially when I was in high school,When we needed on time cash. we brought our farm product to the market and sold out.

During my high schooldays,i love photography.How i wish to have a camera but iI have no money for it..So everytime I wanted to have picture I went to the photography studio.I was so addicted in picture taking..Instead of buying food I paid my allowance money to the photograher.

Those daily routine was changed when I was going to another place then got married at earlier age.My husband had no land to cultivate so we just worked in the city.Then my first salary I bought a Kodak camera.When I gave birth to my son,I never stop on taking picture all the time.

At this moment i am working away from.home as a domestic worker in the dessert.For the first time ,taking picture was prohibited in this conservative Islamic country.I was so sad so I talked my employer to allow me taking picture with myself so I could send it back home.Thanks God she allowed me and I bought an ordinary camera but with a restricted condition.I would not take any picture with her and her children.

During the time my employer was starting building their new big house,I talked them so that they will not make a full concrete playground..I wanted to have a vacant space for a garden so I could plant anykind of vegestables.Thanks God they gave me what I wanted and they never regreted it.I had so many flowers and vegestable in my garden.Every morning after i finished preparing for school,i am already in the garden. My condition is really good when i am sweating.My employer also told me that watering the plant is like giving alms to tbe poor people.Plants has a life and they will be dying when nobody give them water.I love my garden and every morning I have diffirent kind of selfie using my phone.Thanks to my android phone,the more I am addicted in photography.At the same time I also harvesting some vegestable in my garden.I planted also so many kind of flowers.My boss appreciated so much on my efforts.Gardening is not supposed to be not my job but I offered it myself
I give life the garden with different kind of flowers .

I was so happy with this sunflower but now it never grow again.
I save it in my phone. This is my remembrance when I have it.
This is my gumamela.

I also missed this color since it did not survived now even i water them everyday.

This is my happiness photography and gardening.It helped me open minded stress free and feeling better to start my day.When I am sad I forget the bad things along my way.It is also a way of eliminating bad cholesterol to my body because I sweated so much and the early morning sun rays penetrated to my body.I only stopped it for almost one year when I was undergone eye surgery.My doctor and my boss prevented me to go to the garden to avoid infection.Maybe that was the reason also some of my plants was dead during my surgery year 2016,that made me so sad.

Before I end up this,I have also some advices to my fellow steemians and all those who able to read these.

I am living in Saudi Arabia,I have so many work loads but I manage myself to have a garden.The climate here is so hot above normal temperature.There are times we have experience sandstorm.Hot dust goes to the leaves of the plants and make them dying.But if you have to take care of them like the human being they will survived
So now, why people experienced hunger?We have a vacant space in our backyard or frontyard.We have a farm to be cultivated there in the Philippines.Many people do mot care and they never utilized.Why me I made it myself?Now I encourage everyone,,if you have no vacant space,try to use plastic galloon or any materials you could able to plant a vegestables.Organic food intake is the best to our life at this time.You will never regrets if you do what I did.Now I am 48 yrs old and eat a good food all the time from my garden.I am proud to say I am healthy compared to other people the same age with me.I have also many kind of herbal plants in my garden today.I could say our life depend on our lifestyle.
These are the plant I planted in a small vacant space here but I cant take picture anymore because my phone is lagging.
