I just came back from a short holiday in our province for the Lenten season. I turned darker this time. My nerves couldn't resist the tempting waters of the sea a few meters from our house. The mangroves thriving at the seafront for several years still grow abundantly.The drought brought by the El Niño never affected them. When summer turns all the greens into browns, this side of the island remains green.
New lamp posts. I sighted them lined on the streets of our town. Is it an indication that the hands of development have reached our rustic haven? The lamps are comparable to those we see in the cities. This would surely make the night buddies stay longer at night time, especially the children. Does the local government managed the town's coffers properly? I think so. With such projects at hand, they have spelled a difference in governance.
Snake for sale! I saw this man sporting a snake clinging on his arm like twigs. It measures around four to five meters long and three to four inches in diameter. He boarded the jeepney where I rode to the next town. He intends to sell the snake to a local beach owner for a good price. The driver getting wary of any untoward incident, prompted the middle-aged man to stay at roof of the jeepney. Thus, encouraging more bystanders noticing him and his friend.
Water, where are you? The well in our backyard has been a good source of water for years. It hasn't dried up especially on summer. But not this time. The water level shrinks on low tides and rises on high tides. Such phenomenon happens every year . It gets worse every year too. The water is not salty and tastes like our tap water. This puzzle remains a puzzle up to these days.
Where did this source of life go? Have it find its way to join the mother sea?
