I woke up earlier than my usual waking-up time this morning. I got out of bed at maybe around 4.30 or 4.45 (which is which).. again, I slept at Jofe’s house. I kinda like living in her place. The ambience is much lighter compared to my room,.and the clutter.. yes.. the clutter.. there is no clutter in jofe’s room.. haha.. She has to go on-duty for her 6am-2pm hospital shift at LIMSO Medical Hospital.. Id rather go with her than to make "kulitan" with Shawie at her house. heehee..
I had a very nice morning today. I saw the sunrise, smelled the morning air, felt the breeze, heard the crickets and frogs’ discreet sound, and well, drank my usual hot choco. After I sent my dear friend to LIMSO, I headed back home, walking. I walked down at my favorite street again — Illustre Street. Adelle says it’s only a state of mind, but having to walk in that street’s pavement is more than a state of mind nor a delusion. It gives me the feeling of security and lightness that redirects me to the state of joy and calmness. You might say that this is a cliche.. well.. it is always up to you. toink!
I clutched the handles of my back pack tightly as I was strolling the street. There I saw the usual stuffs on the road.. pukes, dried phlegms, chewing gums that almost touched my feet, empty cans and bottles of beers, usual papers and garbages, street children sleeping along the sidewalk, and drifters of the early morning. Having seen all these stuffs at my favorite road, I paused awhile and thought of the huge cram that happened the previous night, if there were anybody being harmed by roving criminals, if there were any couple who broke up moments ago, et cetera et cetera. Darn it.
Maybe I am thinking too hard again. So, I switched back my light-and-free mode earlier before the thoughts came in. Whatever things that happened before I passed that road, still it will be one of my favorite places here in Davao and maybe here on Earth. I started thinking positive — from there, you will find these establishments and things:
- LIMSO Medical Hospital
- SPAs and SALONs
- Internet Cafes
- Coffee Monster (By the way, they serve good coffee here)
- 24-hour SHop ‘n Store (they have lotsa chocolates and yummy choco mousse)
- Bar and Grill
- DIMSUM DINER!
- Gaisano South Mall
- McDonald’s
- Jollibee
- BPI Automated Teller Machine
- Felcris Supermart
- Mang Inasal
- Greenwich Pizza
- Tsangges
- Starlings
- Doves
No wonder I so much love this place. hehe..
