Project Ailema: Cycling Day 2

I grew up knowing my whole neighbourhood.  How can't I?  Most of my relatives on my Dad's side of the family lives on the same street.  I know that the farmer with his carabao comes home at 5PM, I know when it's time to play and when it's time to go home, I know when the kids from public school comes home.  You get the idea, I know everyone's routine. 

I moved to Cabanatuan from Manila when I was 7 then again when I was 13 for my first year in High School then finally when I turn 16 for University.  I was excited.  Most my cousins our age were in University then.  We were excited to all the fun possibilities.  Since I was busy with Uni, I didn't have time to know my community. Right after Uni, I moved to England.

I took photos while cycling today.  Cycling is a good way to know your neighbourhood.  Don't you agree?


I found few stray cats and dogs.  Dogs are not allowed to roam in our subdivision.  They impound stray dogs.

My Neighbours Bianca and Kittel.  Finally, I asked for their names.  Oh Gosh, I sound like a perv taking photos of kids and asking for their names.

Road Parking.  This is the reason why I don't drive.  I get scared of "roadblocks".

 Kids Playing.  Later when I came back from cycling, I saw one of them crying.  It made me think about my childhood.  I don't remember crying but I remember kids not wanting to play with me cause I was a sore loser.  My granny would beg my cousins to play with me.  Maybe that's the reason why I hung out with my older cousins. 

Few Massive Houses.  This isn't a rare sight to where I live.  I saw few more new massive houses.  When I was younger, I wonder how people get very rich.  I still don't know the answer. :P

I am slowly learning the routine of my neighbourhood.  I passed by a house who got Chinese Station playing loudly everyday.  I wonder if Chinese people live there.  I also see Helps chatting on sidewalk.  Men fixing cars.  I love seeing people and their normal activities.  Cycling is good for me. Must do this everyday.  :)
