New Route for the Afternoon Walk

Hello there readcash community! How’s everyone? How are you dealing with the Monday blues? 

It’s a great day to get waisted and to sweat out today because the cloudy gray skies and never- ending afternoon rains are out of sight. And, since today I’m just chilling at home, with some chores in between, because I’m off from work, my bored mind wanders the neighborhood contemplating for a new route for an afternoon walk. 

As I have previously written a couple months ago that the old route I used to walk to exercise was risky and no longer safe for the reason that one passerby during her morning walk got entangled on one dreadful road traffic accident, just so sad and tragic to the victims that you might want to read here - “A Blessing In Disguise.” Since then I haven’t had any morning or afternoon walks anymore. 

However, today is just a perfect opportunity to resume exercising, so I’m off!

The new route is a residential area, just 10 minutes on foot in our neighborhood. Though it’s a barangay road, it's not a busy street at all because public utility vehicles no longer use this road. So, it’s safer I guess. The only problem I noticed that would be risky, especially for the elderly walking in this neighborhood are these cracked concreted areas continuous in the entire block. There is water coming somewhere too, I doubt that it's from the canal because it’s not stinky and it’s clear also. And, somehow I guess this has been a problem for several days (or weeks, or months) because the wet pavements are slippery due to the green algae present on the concrete. 

This is just sad, I don’t know why the homeowners in this neighborhood never complained to our barangay unit about addressing this problem. They could at least fix the leaking water somewhere to prevent damaging the road. Some years back I used this road to go to my patient’s house, and it was not like this. The cracks must be due to the water persistently leaking for some time. 

Anyway, not too far away from the slippery road is this steep street uphill. I tried traversing this street twice today back and forth, and indeed it was really a challenging cardio workout. Whew! In addition, it was also scary going down, it felt like I’m about to go tumbling down the hill like Jack and Jill, haha!

Oh, I so love those bougainvilleas popping out from the fence, looks really beautiful and aesthetic. I also found these pretty flowers on the sidewalk, I bet the owner or the gardener really loves ornamental plants because it shows!

That would be all for our little chitchat. Thanks for reading!

well it will be even more dangerous if the climb is muddy, you have to be more careful when passing that route. By the way, the flowers are beautiful, sis. Hehehe

UwU extra careful pa rin. Lalo sa mga do masyadong matatao na lugar. Kahit daanin pa yan noon, pero sa pag lipas ng panahon for sure may nagbabago na din. Like yong mga bad people evrywhere. Haha di naman sa tinatakot kita basta ingatsuuu.

Some community members want the government to fix everything for them. As patriotic citizens, we should learn to fix things even when our government doesn't do it

These days safe routes are too much rare, you should take the route that is safe to walking. The flower snap is perfect.
