Sometimes When I'm Lonely I Pretend I'm a Carrot

Shrine

Kapag galing ka sa Tagum tas pauwi ka ng Davao or Panabo tas malapit ka na sa Carmen, you’ll pass through a lower bridge sa may right side, but before that, may madadaanan ka munang abandoned cemetery sa gilid ng daan. Portion lang ‘yong makikita mo kasi parang nasira na yata ‘yong iba due to road construction and seldom rising of the water level ng river. Pero nakakamangha lang talaga ‘yong nagiisang shrine gate na naroon. Usually sa Japan ka lang makakakita ng ganun na madalas e painted in red. The shrine I saw looked way way old, naka-slant na siya at parang anytime, guguho na, pero kahit ganun, it still looks exquisite. At kapag nadadaanan ko talaga ‘yon, pakiramdam ko, nagkukuwento sa akin ang shrine na ‘yon ng madaming stories.
