a taste of 'that' life

(Nov 24, Monday)
I can't remember ever being to Taguig, more specifically in Bonifacio Global City.

We went to the Department of Energy to get some data we need for our thesis. See? We are really working on it. After sweating it all out walking in the street, going in and out of several buildings, we got it! Not all of it though. I think we will have to go back there. I don't mind!

Then off we went to Market Market to feed our rumbling stomachs. Btw, I'm with Chiq and Kimee Choy. Choy's working on a different thesis. My other partner, Hasper, got this day off since it was his birthday the previous day. Belated Happy Birthday! ;D

And then I saw these condominiums in Serendra. The moment I set my eyes on them, I fell in love with the place and knew at that instant that I want a home there. The question is where in this holy world am I going to get the money to have one?! I did not have to ask anyone to know that it costs a fortune.

We walked along High Street, to our ultimate destination - Fully Booked! I was so thrilled to see a 5-story building teeming with books of all kinds, for all ages. I could not decide what book to get first, because they're so many I felt like drowning. We went from one floor to another touching everything we could get our excited hands to.

that's Choy.


Chiq & moi.

After more than two hours of raiding Fully Booked, we went out empty-handed. In fairness, I almost bought a book. ALMOST. :D

It was already past six so the lights in the street were already on. I fell in love more with the place. We walked nonstop. Since it was not a weekend, the streets were not crowded and it was so peaceful to walk around. Feet tired. Hair messed up. WDC (we don't care!).

When we were in the bus, reluctant to go home, I looked back at the things we did and I saw. I felt like I witnessed the other part of the world. Shiny cars. Expensive stores and boutiques. Beautiful people. No beggars begging. No traffic jams. I sure would like to live in a place like that. And then I remember my parents. I want them to experience that kind of life too. I wish I could give them that. Trying my best! :D
