Manila, Manila
Wednesday, September 26, 2007Pollution. Over crowded. Hot. Traffic jam. Typhoons. Floods. Rallies. Petty crimes on the street. And even though I could list all possible reasons why people like me hated living in the nation's capital; honestly, there is still this part of me which says, 'I heart Manila'.
In Manila, I could spend a day alone or blend in the crowd and keep anonymity. Where people do not give you stares if you opt for a table for one. Where a good book could be read cover to cover for free. Where malls could be venues for artistic expressions. Where movies, plays, concerts are in non-stop schedules. Where shopping for pirated DVDs and good imitations is a must. And there's the good chance of bumping into a celebrity in mask.
I could not trade in Davao for Manila. And even if I claim not going to live there again (as for now, that's the case), I maybe still coming back to Manila…
I miss her!
PS. and if by chance, I could visit her again. I'll spend a day at Fully Booked, The Fort.
