It's been a month already that I have transferred to my new house. It feels great to own a house at last. After renting for years, I now have a place to call as my own.
What are the positive things I've got after moving in, my son was able to play, run almost daily outdoor. It's a nice feeling seeing him playing and running with his new neighbors. It is unlike before where we stay in a very small house and the space is very little and outside is already the main road. So most of his time he will just watch TV, play his toys or use the computer. For my side, I have the space to run or walk for my exercise. And it is different living in a subdivision, maybe it is safer with guards and you are living with mostly educated people.
Though I'm glad with our transfer, I am also disappointed with my daily travel going to my office. Since our subdivision is still new and my location is far from the main gate, I will have to walk around 10 minutes to get to the main road, lucky if there are sikads around. It is inconvenient if there is rain or if it is very hot. How I wish I can have a car or multicab of my own. After the walk I will have to ride a tricycle going to TAMIYA, that is the terminal for the jeepneys going to Mandaue City. I feel good if I can sit properly on the tricycle, since I hated sitting next to the driver, especially if there are 2 backriders and sitting on the entrance of the tricycle with your knees outside, if the sun is up, feel the warmth of the sun, if there is rain, arm yourself with your umbrella coz you'll surely get wet. And there is another cross riding the tricycle, enjoy the bumpy ride or the dirty water from the not so good roads in Lapu lapu. Well, well... and good luck with the traffic along the Grand Mall in Basak. These seems to be normal along that road, morning and evening. Hay, how I wish the government will take an action on these roads. This is one of the worst roads I have seen in Cebu, thingking that this is in front of a mall and near the Mactan Doctor's hospital. Once I'll arrive in TAMIYA terminal, I have to fall in line to ride a multicab to Mandaue. Sometimes it takes too long to wait, especially if there are few multicabs or the line is very long. And the last burden is the traffic near the bridge and along the bridge... My normal travel is not so good, tiring, especially if it is very hot. To bear with the traffics and heat of the sun, I will just take a nap while on travel. All I can say to myself is "Hahay, og nganong ni enter." But I want change for my life, maybe live better in a new house, in a better house. That is why I have to bear the 1 and half hour of travel one way going to my work. If only our government can help, if only they can better our roads, maybe it can help lessen the burden of a simple Juan de la Cruz who can't afford to buy an expensive house near his work place.
