This is part of the People’s Park here in Davao City. It’s nice to jog or take morning walk here, or just sit down alone or with family. You can’t see people because I took this picture in the morning. It’s busy here in the afternoon especially weekends.

Thank you

Three months ago when my daughter and I went to the grocery we also bought 1 sack of rice. It was heavy but I was forced to purchase because we run out of rice. As we reached home we learned that the big male in the house was still in school, my husband is out of town and my second son was assigned in the province. It was a big problem to haul the sack into our house after, the ill-mannered taxi man dropped our baggage and start his taxi in full sped after he dropped the sack of rice, the groceries and received the fare.

Though our baggage are dropped five meters away from the gate we can’t live the rice and just watch it till my third son will come home because it was raining a little. The rain will soak the rice in two hours time. Luckily an old man who happens to be a frequent passer in our street had offered his help. So we brought the rice inside the house. This man is maybe on his late sixty. He then told me that his help is twenty five pesos. I just stared at him, smiled and say thank you. He then left and said (asala malaykum). It’s a Muslim words which means peace be with you. I am not selfish or an advantageous person but the reason that, I did not pay the old man because I was thinking that, he is joking. I was also insinuating that he might be insulted if I will hand him twenty five pesos.

This old man is clean. His looks, I can say that he had worked hard when young and save enough for his old age. It was my impression that turns out to be wrong because only last Friday, I learned that the payment he asked me was really meant. I saw this man carrying bags of groceries. I was behind them because I was going to the tailor. I was heading to the street they are passing. At the store his lady companion gave him twenty pesos after he puts down the things he carried.

It’s only a house away from the tailor’s house. I then asked the tailor who was that man and he said. Ah, that old man lives down the slope with his wife said the tailor. Then I learned that aside from his pension, he earns extra income from hauling things, and that his three children live afar from them. I go home with so much guilt. I should have paid the old man but how can I do that now, maybe he forgot already what I should owe him. I should have known it. I was too clueless about the situation. The thought that I disappoint an old man’s request really bothers me. I wish I will need his help again. Bad me, I should have attempted to give him the twenty five before I say thank you.

Excellent phone service

excellent-phone-serviceAt present communication shorten distance among family, friends, and other relationship. Through computer via internet and cellphones you can reach your family in seconds. Distances don’t matter at all as long as you have these modern gadgets. You can talk to your relative in person trough webcam. These gadgets draw the relationship closer.

I am speaking base on my experienced. Eldest daughter went to Manila last year in search for job abroad. This is the first time that she was separated from us. I could have been worried if not seeing her in the net, or hear her voice on the phone. Through cellphone which is more convenient and easiest way to be connected.

Cellphones which is common communication also gives me the joy of talking to my mother who lives in the province. The gadgets made me to check my mother frequently. I’m thankful that these gadgets were invented and I should have mentioned the phone service provider here in the Philippines. I want to give credit to them because their services are excellent. But according to my neighbor who go to United States often and lately decided to go there for permanent residency. She recommends Spectrotel phone service provider as the best in the United States. According to her this is high-quality, high value local and long distance phone services in the country. The reputation of Spectrotel as a full telecommunication service provider is premier. These were subscribers’ feedback.

A Tree to fresh air

Sky oddities-13Leaving in the city is quite fast-pacing compare to the life in the rural areas. But it is rewarding too because you don’t have to walk miles away anytime of the day, since all kinds of transportation are accessible near or far destination. These amenities that city life gives not only comfort but also polluted air that we breathe. Heap piles of garbage from the dense populated city do contribute as pollutants. Factories have this kind of hazardous smoke that completes the list of pollutant contributor.

Davao city is not that worst yet because the city has thorough study on city zoning plan. Except for the vehicular smoke which cannot be prevented, factories here are located in a place with exact buffer zone not to disturb residence of nearby subdivision. We also had a proper garbage disposal, all garbage here are collected daily and brought to the smoky mountain in very far flung areas to avoid flies swarming. If you happen to visit any residential area here you can see two or more trees planted in the yard. Trees can help purify air. What you can see in EcoQuest international fresh air brochure, you can see in Davao city too. It’s a matter of good governance to come up with this kind of atmosphere.
