Avoid Parking
It has been a few months since I took a walk around Sampalok Lake. My last walk was with my wife before she gave birth to a healthy baby girl and this was last May. Since then I have been glued infront of my computer.
Yesterday, my wife insisted that I do some walking. Walking is a very good exercise specially for those who are really out of shape like me because it doesn’t put too much strain on your body. Jogging is okay but I think I’ll do that later on when I get used to walking long distances again.
Anyway, I went to Sampalok Lake on foot and walked around it once before walking back home. Nothing much has changed around the lake but I did notice that some cars were left parked at the side of road that surrounds Sampalok Lake. I’m not sure if they were parked their temporarily but they’re making the narrow road narrower. Maybe those that go to Sampalok Lake to exercise should park their cars near the City Hall and not on the narrow road around the lake.
Well, I just feel that those who have cars should not park them on the lake road. Even if their car is a bmw or a lexus, they should avoid parking there. People use that road for jogging, walking, strolling and even bike riding. If cars are parked there then it will make the road narrower which could lead to accidents besides there are lots of room to park on the streets around the City Hall.

Thank you for the suggestion. I do hope that our Local Government officials in San Pablo City (or the barangays that have a certain jurisdiction on Smapaloc Lake) will take this into consideration.

Well, I guess we should contact our local goverment and barangay officers and ask them to put a strickly no parking sign around the lake for the safety of people in our community who wants to keep in shape and healty.
One more thing, we should advice to those people live there that their dog must be chained all the time.coz, that’s really annoying when you do your jogging and suddenly the dog attacking you without notice.Hehehehe!
