my mother and i have decided to come and visit my sisters in manila this october. luckily, i have a week's break from school and i could squeeze in some time to laag. although, it's really not 100% laag, i welcome the respite. i will just have to prepare for the exams i have to take before i leave and hopefully, review some while i'm on my break and pray hard that i am ready to take the exam when i come back from my break.
i am quite excited because, it has been two years since the last time i have been to manila. i have missed some places there such as those where i used to live when i was bumming after graduation and when i was finally able to find work somewhere in quezon city. i miss the hype of being financially independent. i miss travelling. i also miss the visits to the university to see my bestfriend. i also miss my college friends who are also in manila, living the life of a yuppie. i guess that, we come to have an affinity for the place/s where we spend a part of our lives.
but i don't think i will miss the traffic nor the endless queue at the MRT. i also don't miss the fact that the cost of living there is high. i also don't miss the life on a fast lane, everybody there seems to be driven by some urgent errand or business.
maybe i am just so used to the laidback lifestyle back in baguio and here in davao. no pressures, no rushing to the MRT queue, no traffic. but once in a while, it's good to visit familiar places and relive the moments during the times when i used to live and was part of such places.
so manila, here i come.
