Province Again!

May 31, 2011

Went back to the province, Pangasinan. Hmm expectations: boring, boring, boring. Well I brought my monopoly board to avoid meeting that expectation. I want to end up having fun - somehow.

Arrived at around 4pm. So far, I found myself in front of a quite awkward view as I step out the car door. There were people taking a bath by our deep well. Well, that was one site you might want to erase from your memory. Haha I better get an appointment with Dr. Mierzwiak (Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind).

Okay, skipping that part.. I got to play Monopoly! Yay! And of course, I still keep the crown. Winning four consecutive wins, ehem, makes me king of monopoly! LOL

Around 9pm, i went out to get some air. And I found myself amused by the number of twinkling stars on the black blanket above us, winking at me one by one. It's so different here in the province. So many stars, cool gentle breeze that brushes through my hair, and such amazing sites to see - not to mention the cute little ducklings wandering around our yard. Yes, I kinda didn't like going here, but right now, I'm enjoying every bit of it.

Still Hope For Pasig River?

 Pasig River (Ilog Pasig), a river once known for its beauty and its fast current. But that was before. After World War II, the river was left abandoned, making some informal settlers to decide in settling there and some factories left behind dump their wastes in the river. Slowly, the river became polluted - now, just a stream of muddy water.

I am quite depressed to see the river - silent, dark and crowded with floating trash - as I ride the Pasig-Quiapo jeep everyday. The sight of it's greyish - nearly black - color makes me wonder "Is there still hope for Pasig River?"

As the government push through with their effort, throwing-trash-into-the-river thingy goes on and on without end. How would that clean Pasig River? It's just like filling a tank of water with holes underneath, making the rate of volume change small - nearly negligible. It's so sad to notice that Pasig River might not have a chance into getting its beauty back. Well anything's possible and I still see that tiny glimpse of light - tiny glimpse of hope. And that's what all matters
