(Calixto Dyco Street, Paco, Manila)
Most of my life in Manila I lived in this neighborhood, now I am moving forward...
I have always loved my street. It is one of the few places in Manila where people knew their neighbors, trees are all around, you will never hear the noise of the main streets and what one would hear in the morning are birds and kids singing in the nearby Justo Lukban Elementary School.
But now, I am moving forward.
And I am going to miss the place.

Dear Vincentians of Calixto Dyco, Manila,
It was worth a thousand experience living in Calixtoville. And a thousand more for a simple reason---I enjoyed our home.
S'Don, I have come, left, come back home and now, I think, is leaving for good. I want to thank you for making me part of your family. But as our roads shows only what is on the horizon, we can never see what's beyond it. Now I have to take a different path to prepare myself for what tomorrow has in store for me.
You are not just a friend but also a teacher with the whole world as our class room, and experience as your best textbook. For everything I want to thank you.
I will still try to visit as often as I can, as for now, I want to leave you guys this message:
S'Don - eat less fat, less sodium, and start a new chapter of your life gracefully.
Julius - try the dreadlocks, for something new.
Paolo - maybe you would like seafood caldereta.
Angel - come home more often.
Gie - Apiton. It works.
Icy - Methatione. It is available in most drugstore.
Dennis - Magna RX. Try it. I know a friend who did!
Ebad - goodluck on your business.
Carl - banana diet.
All, thank you being part of a chapter in my life.
Regards,
Anun

I remember that street. A lot of times I would picture on my head walking back home from school. From Herran Stree, it is on the right side. I am happy that you posted a picture of that street, it is part of my childhood. As a child, I always thought of that street as where the burgis live and me, because I lived on Ducepec street, I belong to the untouchables. NOt a healthy thought for a child but that was how I always thought of that street. I still remember hanging around Dart street with friends and that street was part of my memory as a kid. I wish someone could post a picture of Ducepec on a blog.
