Some of the needs that I want to fullfill and for me it is a great big dealsteemCreated with Sketch.

Being close to nature, flowering plants, fruiting trees, vegetables in silence and under the sunshine but being protected by the shade and without much pollution in general is always what I want to feel and enjoy to free myself from time to time from the confines of my room.

If it happens that I can have the extra funds to buy myself a plot of space where we can use just to grow some fruiting trees, berries, and some vegetables, then I wouldn't even hesitate to do so all because of the continual soaring of the prices of fruits and vegetables because of the economic hardships which I am not even expecting to be getting this high and now affecting our way of life and lifestyles. Now we are ending-up in trying to augment our diet if we can and cooking the only ones that we can afford. We have some leafy vegetables that my parents get from the small space of soil at the back of our which is the only space left for the reason that the rest was used for building a bakery business and a variety store which is now converted into a living space for my sister's family.

There should be an ample enough of space for gardening if we plan to grow some fruiting tress in it as well.

Anyway, It seems to be impractical to buy fruits now because it just costs an arm and leg and eats a major part of my earnings because I have to take care in saving for emergencies just like what happened in April for my arm's AV Fistula repair. Now the price of the rice which had been already controlled by hoarders to make the price to soar so they can profit more and they are always successful in doing so and the fact that the government cannot do anything effective to control it is a very pressing problem to every citizen in this country because rice is the main staple in this country. Still the farmers are powerless about that issue because their rice harvest are often bought cheaper by the middlemen that buys their rice and passing it to consumers at a higher rate which will be the final victim of the situation and made worse by inflation.

Inflation has been felt and now it had gotten worse that we can feel the pain because of it. The continuous rise of food and raw vegetables especially fruits is out of everybody's reach already. That is why a call for self-sustaining efforts should be done so that we can at least stay healthy with the crops that we could grow in our piece of plots and gardens.

There is still a possibility for me to reach my extra dream of buying a house and lot or at least the full ability about renovating this house, then I can be able to plan to make some space for a pretty much useful garden. An extra space which can make use of full sunlight from east to west unlike what we get where it can only get sunshine if the sun is up at around aa steep angle in the sky. I really wanted it to be spacious enough for the majority of the crops which will be planted therein and making full use of the energy of the sun for the said future garden. I truly wanted it to happen as soon as possible despite of my physical impediments and cannot really participate physical in growing anything there.

Gardening above the roof is my idea to maximize the space for planting vegetables and some grafted fruiting trees and plants.

It is also better for me to get some exposure to sunlight once in a while or even everyday and and being surrounded by plants, vegetables, flowering plants where I can stay for a while and relax. It is because in this current house of my father, there are really no more space that I can lay my back and try to relax because of the annoying sounds plus what diseases that the caged birds of the husband of my sister brought here for commercial purposes and also, the scent of their dog really makes me feel sick to my stomach me a lot.

Their caged pet adult dog produces unusual scent plus I do not like how my sister keeps the dog that way because it is forced to pee and defecate to its cage. There is too much pollution even from the noise created by two dogs in our compound particularly with the danger of the feathers can cause to our lungs coming from those love birds which are as I mentioned, raised to be sold commercially. Those small feathers can be a vehicle for a particular pathogens which can cause a certain lung disease which can kill.

My life just revolves from my room and into the dialysis center, I just want a change in routine to give me some simple ways to enjoy life and not like being a prisoner of my circumstances.

So there is nothing more safe and comfortable place around this house anymore for me to stay other than this room where it gets too hot during the days where the sun is shining bright. The house that I wanted to build can actually make an extra space based on the plan particularly if I will make it to have a second concrete floor as the main roofing in order to make way for a bigger backyard. But it has to be planned well to maximize our limited space. Although I guess that I can still make a garden on top of the roof which will truly give me the maximum use of space, it will definitely cost me more because a garden on top of the house requires a special plan as it needs a tougher columns and foundation to support it and the cost of extra materials really is no longer cheap nowadays. But one thing is for sure, with God's help and mercy I wanted these things to happen because we need it.

Dreams like what I have now just requires luck to happen because of the serious money which is involved already. That can very well happen because of bitcoin which is proving to my instrument in reaching my dreams even it seems that it is too late already.
