(Manila Bay 2005)I love Manila Street Life. Now since I'm technically based in Manila, I get to explore a lot of places. I've mastered most routes for the jeepneys. I've been to many places na. When I was in college, my ex-boyfriend and I would go on so-called "field trips". I love field trips big time! Once he took me to Manila Bay and Intramuros. I love photo ops/camwhoring ops, although I would prefer to take photos of other people/places. I love wasting shots on little details.
Since no one would take me out for "field trips" I've mustered enough guts to just explore alone. Quiapo is my new "place-to-be". I go there every week to go to the church to observe and pray. I wanted to be a devotee. Hehe. I know it takes more than that! Everytime I'm there, I feel like I'm on a field trip. I'm eager to see new things...go here and there. I wanted to explore the inner streets at the back of the church simply for the thrill of it. There goes my explorer side. Sometimes I go to Dangwa for newly-delivered flowers. I don't really buy since I just watch the florists do their thing. I also go to Divisoria for cheapo mass-produced luxury. I've been to Baclaran once for Philo class. Ibang klase. Go to these places just to experience "it". Street life is nothing unless you hit the streets. Immerse. Masaya mag field trip sa mga lugar na akala mo alam mo na pero hindi pala talaga. Minsan nga kahit araw-araw kang mang-jeep iba ang "experience". Minsan iba-iba bayad ko, isa lang naman lagi pinupuntahan ko. Now it makes me long for somebody who will take me to "field trips", let me ride the kalesa and tour Manila Bay tourist-style, treat me to dirty ice cream in Manila Bay and buy me balloons (the ones with strings and helium) for a Luneta Park date.
