Have you been in the mountain at the center of the city? Well if not, keep reading.
City has always been a crowded and polluted place if I'll be visualizing it. Even in the midst of the night, there's still the boom sound of the vehicles running along the way.
In fact, when I was four years old I and my family lived in a house near the national highway. There were times that I suddenly woke up because of the sounds which came from different "wheels" or vehicles. Even my playing times was ruined. My mom frequently telling me to avoid playing outside the house to keep away from diseases coming from the polluted air from my surroundings. This how sweet my mom was. So, I have nothing to do but only to follow.
Despite these negative descriptions of what a city is, city still has the most opportunities to give to everyone. However, I still love more the city's sibling. And it is the mountain.
Fortunately, I found my paradise. When I reached my eleventh grade, I and my sister's new family went to the mountain in Davao City. The place was filled with beautiful and colorful flowers like orchids. The trees were telling how fortunate the world was. The grasses and animals were always laying together with the fresh air from the surroundings.
The place was in Sta. Catalina, Mojon, Brgy. Langub, Davao. City. Enable to get there, you only have to ride a single motorcycle from Crossing Ma-a infront of St. Francis of Assisi for only P20 per head. While you are on a ride, you will surely enjoy the view over the hills, the beautiful scenery, and the startling view of the city and sea down the mountain. The motorcycle driver will send you exactly to the place so you won't worry anything because your only going to ride once to reach the place, or should I say, the paradise.
