THE REAL ROLLING STORE

I’m preempting my post of the crab story for my Mellow Yellow Monday entry.

I was driving the other day ‘to have a good time and not to get on time’, if I may borrow a line from Sally, the blue cutie Porsche from the movie ‘Cars’. I purposely did not turn on the car’s air-conditioning as Davao City’s sun did not show up for the past few days and the weather is perfect for sightseeing.

I was a traffic obstruction that day plying 20kph along Dacudao Avenue, where trees shaded the road and leaves paved the way, I hear honking from time to time signaling me to speed up, but who cares until a garbage truck passed me by, after a while I got a feeling of throwing up sniffing the stench space the truck has left, so I was looking for a ‘sari-sari’ (variety) store to buy some candies to relieve me, when I spotted this store … an ‘IMBURNAL’ (culvert) store.



Call it a blatant manifestation of the real Philippine economic situation or a real Filipino ingenuity.

Now that’s one good real model of what rolling store means.

Thank you for reading, see you again for another experience in this side of town.
