A very exhausting kind of travel, a little bit disappointed

Article #115

October 18, 2022

Today is the death anniversary of our grandmother, I traveled yesterday from the city in the very early morning because our province is far away from where I stayed. Almost 5 hours of commuting, riding on a bus for 3 hours and our place is far away from highways, therefore, I need to get up so early. Since I only have two days of staying there, I tried to go there as much as early so that I can make a chance to have a small talk and bonding with my cousins,Aunties and Uncles.

We only visited here so randomly because aside from it taking much time to travel, it is also far away from highways and the road is narrow and rough it is not safe especially if you have a child with you riding on a motorcycle with no safety gear to wear like helmet and padding.

My mother and his two brothers(Uncles) rode together going to our house at the top of the mountain. As you have seen in the picture 4 people in one motorcycle is too dangerous but we have no choice because these are their source of income. the driver should pick up 3 to 4 passengers to earn and the fare was 1 dollar for each person. It is one of the disadvantages of continuing the high price of gasoline, people should double their efforts to gain money from picking up passengers. But anyway,

I feel happy that I can also visit my relatives there and meet up with my cousins for an as long time we do not have a chance to get to know each other. But when we got home, my happiness turn out to be a disappointment when my house look like this.

When typhoon Odette hit our place last December 16, 2021, this was my first visit here and I was so sad to see the fruit of my hard work turn into pieces. Only my uncle watches my house when we are in the city for work.

This small house is very memorable too because I built this when I was 21 years old and the money I used was my first savings when I started to work. many years of savings become meaningless but I know God always had a good purpose for us at least during the typhoon my families are all safe and sound.

At this time, I am on the bus riding back to the city now while I typing this article. I want to ask your consideration that I can't visit your articles guys because I'm still traveling at this moment maybe I can catch up by tomorrow.

The lead image and all the photos I uploaded are all mine.

Thanks for reading!

Maganda sana kung sidecar yung sasakyan na motor oi, nakakatakot naman yung single lang tapos may tatlong sakay, sobrang delikado. Pero sabi mo pa nga kailangan ganun ang gawin kasi ang mahal na ng gasolina at para kumita din sila kaya kahit risky at gagawin nalang. Sana lang ay lagi silang gagabayan ng Diyos sa bawat byahe kasi nakakatakot pag nadisgrasya. Anyway sis, I'm sorry about your house. Ipaayos nalang ulit. Hindi kasi talaga natin maiiwasan ang bagyo. Ingat sis.
