Sariaya is..
One morning im in manila now I'm in Sariaya.
This is my take on Sariaya Quezon, my collection of observations and thougts about this place. This is somewhat not in order , this are my views and word rumble.
I'm staying on a house near the town located on a mountain foot. Houses were built mostly made of concrete and houses spaced that you can hear neighbors. At times grinding sound reverberates from the tricycle cab reminds me of a stukka dive bomber or a wood chopper passing by. Some of the usual sight that will grow on you as time flies are Light post, telephone post and electric post a festival of web of cable dangling everywhere, an eyesore if you ask me. Weather is like, Its not sun sunny town, sometimes humidity hurts my head. mostly drizzle on a late afternoon and sometimes windy when you don't expect. Most nights crickets would company you through sleepless times. chilling night could be lonely too but thanks to night walkers presence(not referring to zombies) armed with wooden sticks will surely safeguard you from carabao snatchers. People are all nice and chatty and always flocking together, specially on a Binge.The best place to see sorts of people are on market place and church on sunday .Sundays are for devoted church goer and for the rest of the days are for the un faithfuls who love to place bets on number games, wishing to double their luck. Mind your manner and always keep attention in acknowledging the presences of the elders, is a must. The do is placing their palm on your forehead as a sign respect for its not a command that shouldn't taken lightly, for it is not a rule that you should ignore ,thus its a ritual that every one faithfully follows here.
Farming Agricultural product is one of the locals primary source of living here, and cashing it by trading live stocks raised on their backyard and farm products born out of the soil. private owned land is tilled by paid helpers residing around the vicinity. Greenery are lying everywhere that says the land is very healthy. But not all residents sticks to traditional work, Few of them venture outside having a day job in the city and some as an expat from far places but usually return to share success with others.
East Ocean can be viewed on the elevated part of the town. Before the shore, acres of coconut forest carpets the land. the sariaya beach front is incomparable to the other major tourist beaches around the Philippines due to its undeveloped surroundings but fisher folk make use the most of it. Sariaya shores has its own charming characteristics the charcoal colored sand is not stunning to some with impeccable eye or let say maarte, silky fine grain of sand is not that i can use to describe it but clean surroundings and relaxing ambiance make up for it. In short it is unique. Kaya go away, do not disturb nalang..
Pahabol..
The market place here is like a facebook relationship status it's Complicated. In the fish stand section there are limited in variety. the fishes they sell most of it comes from neighbor province like batangas tilapia and bangus, shellfish comes from cavite.Few salt water fishes harvested here like galungung(tapuluk), mayamaya, espada but no dalagang bukid. Probably there is a season for other fishes. The Vegetable section is bountiful of vegies everywhere and yet im wrong in saying that.Vegie prices here is at par in manila where icome from considering this place is known for farming. I wonder why? but choices is so and so.
I never have hesitations on approaching locals here I find them polite.Go ahead, ask for something like directions they will answer you back in a courteously manner. Yup! they do have a distinct accent that is distinguishable very unique from a Quezonian.
