- tidbits from my extra-short manila trip 2 -
^ my second to the last day ... jeni and i had lunch with grace at bistro ... just across the street sa opis ni grace ... masarap yung mushroom sumtin nila pero yung grilled fish with penne? yun ba yun? basta yun .. nde masarap! at may pabaon na cinnabonssss sa akin si grace .. yey!!!!
^ after nito, punta na kami ni jeni sa sm fairview ... nuod muna kami ng sine ... xmen 3 ... ok naman yung film ... what i like about it is nde sha mashadong ma-cgi ... at nakakatakot si jean grey pag andun sha sa moment ng ultra-mega-powers nya ha! ... wolverine is indeed the man sa film na eto ... tas nadi-disappoint ako na wala namang mashadong part si archangel e ...
^ after ng movie, namili na kami sa groseri ... eto, eto ... they say that life in the philippines is one oh-so-difficult ride ... mahirap na daw mabuhay sa atin ... pero looking around, i don't really see much of the poverty ... sa groseri kanina, aba, daming namimili at punung=puno ang mga push cart nila ... saka nung nagbibiyahe kami sa makati ni jeni, nde ko nakikita sa mga tao yung muka silang naghihirap ... or maybe it's just me ...
^ will be going to my other home tomorrow ... i am a sad but i realize na i still look forward to going back ... i guess it's because i welcome the normality of my life in taipei .... but there are a gazillion things that i will miss in Manila (aside from jeni, my family and friends, that is) -
(1) the heat ... not too humid ... but a little movement goes a long way kasi pagpapawisan ka talaga. nung isang araw, jeni was having her sizes measured para sa barong na susuotin nya sa 65th year anniv celeb ng nanang at tatang nila ... tumambay ako sa labas ng modista ... less than 10 minutes ... i was sweating! ... partida, naka-sundress pa ako nun!.
(2) the street food ... taiwan has its share of street food pero babalik-balikan ko ang street food ng pilipinas ... masarap pero barato ... pramis - banana cue na malambot yung saging for 10pesos only ... sa taipei, i bought one for 50NT! imajin dat ... carioca na 10pesos lang din ata ... okoy for 20pesos ... dirty ice cream for 10pesos ... sago't gulaman for 5pesos each glass ... minsang nag-merienda kami ni jeni, 70pesos lang tas kami nang dalawa yun ... at busog na busog na kami ha .... teka, nde nga lang pala street fud ha ... basta fud in general ... when i arrived here, it's like everything is good to eat ...
(3) the "easy way" that we filipinos live our lives .... yung pagiging petik natin ... i know that's not rili gud for everyone ... pero since i've lived the "fast lane" already, na-a-appreciate ko yung "petik"-ness natin ....
meron pa bang iba? i think marami pa ... nde ko lang sila maisip right at this very moment .... for now, i have to go back to my other home
