Landslides, Floods, Crying Skies - Going Back Home

in #travel7 years ago (edited)
After some experience in Zamboanga del Sur to meet some relatives, we went back home. We took the southern route this time because who would want to go back to the 14 hour butt torture ride? Not me. And because my stupid ass got rushed to the hospital at dawn because I got blood in my pee and experienced painful urination so we need to go home as quickly as possible. Turns out it was Urinary Tract Infection so drink water and don't hold your pee, folks. :D

We started driving at 6:30 am. It was quite windy with light rain but overall fine.

What's scary about this is that we were in the mountains and we what if we got stuck in there, who would help us lol. There were only a few cars that passed by. And I'm sick. And we don't know the place nor the people.

We got to this part where the road was flooded (above the ankle kinda deep) and you can see people walking with it with no problems lol. There was medium rain and the place was looking grim but the funny thing there was we can see children running and playing in the rain lol.

This was somewhere in Picong.




Then we went through this scary looking tunnel.

This reminded me so much of Dying Light (video game where there were zombies and stuff) lol.

And there was sunshine somewhere in Cotabato. :D

We stopped from time to time to eat and pee. Then we bought some fruits in Kidapawan City. :D

And then we reached Davao City, yay.

It says "Drink alcohol. Drive. Accident. Death" and beside that is our city's logo with our tourism/branding/tag line or whatever you call it... "Davao: Life is Here". LOL very funny, mayor. And a clever way to convince people to reduce their speed.

Sort:  

lakas ang ulan ah! may typhoon na ba jan? :(

Forgot to mention, may tropical depression yeah

ok ingat ka jan bes! ;)

😨 scary... brave enough to LOL in situations. Hope for good.

Indeed! I learned to LOL even in these situations because it will kill me if I don't lol
