this summer, i started my training sa isang company somewhere in makati. eveyday i hafta wake up sooo early.. 5am. oi, maaga na yun para saken! hehe.. fixing myself, dressing up, havin breakfast then leave.. araw araw na lang laging ganun. nakakapagod lumuwas at umuwi..well, u may say, pwede nman ako mgbording hauz, bkit uwian pa ko.. it's just, i don't feel comfortable sleepin sa hindi ko bed. ayoko din nung my ibang gumgamit ng cr na hindi ko msyadong kilala. arte ko ba? cguro nga.. and other reasons are, di ako snay maglaba, mamalantsa at magluto. eh sa bahay, pgdating ko may nkaprepare na agad na food. kakain na lang.. ayun, those are the real reasons..hehe
well, di naman ito ang first time i've gone to manila siyempre.. often times am out here with friends, and cuzins.. but to be here everyday, parang nakakapanibago. feeling ko lagi ako nagmamadali.. people are always in a hurry. they seem always busy. khit sa paglalakad lang, you would notice na prang kung mabagal ka, walang mangyayari sa 'yo. you would be just left behind by people.. FAST PHASING ANG BUHAY dito..
the PUV's.. one is MRT.. everybody knows how to deal with this damn train! pag rush hour, papasok ka pa lang ng station sobra dami na ng tao. siksikan agad and you hafta be patient sa mga taong walang pakialam sa iba basta mauna lang pagsakay. it doesn't matter kung gurl ka or what. bahala ka sa buhay mo basta sila, sasakay at sasakay. dun ka makakakita ng mga tao throwing their shoulders and elbows to each other. one time nga ako pa napagkamalan ng isang nanay na tumulak sa kanya. ayun, sinipa pa ko..buhay nga naman.
there's always a feeling of alertness na sometimes it had me feel uncomfortable.. parang paranoid na cguro. hehe.. am always chekin out if my fone and my wallet are still in my pocket.. yung bag or pants ko baka tastas na ng blade.. baka someone is following me already..you know.. mandurukot and holdaper..
but aside from those, i could also see the positive side ng pagiging nasa siyudad.. (ang lalim!) at di na mwawala jan ang mraming gimikan. ofcourse! haha! malls, resto, bars, at kung anu ano pa! for teenagers like me, (huh?!) yun agad ang nkita kong beauty dito.. and so many gurls as well! syempre nman! more liberated. others are wild.. rrrarrrrr!!!
all the necessities are here. convenient stores, hospitals, churches, government establishments, transportation and all ay malapit lang.. autoload max, express load, at e-load ay 24hrs open. di mo na klangan manggising ng kpitbhay or tindahan in the middle of the night para lang maloadan ka. basta may pera ka, okay ka na..
to rap this up, city is good. masarap mabuhay dito. you'll not be bored. you get to meet a lot of people and experience different things. but i would still prefer to end my day sa place na tahimik, safer and comfortable, sa place where birds, trees, fresh air and food are plenty.
there's no place like home as they say...
