been there...
1:43 AMManila...the capital city of the Philippines... The farthest place I've ever been so far.
Never in my entire life did I dream of coming to visit if not for a very important task that I need to accomplish a month ago. While on board a plane, my heart won't seem to stop pounding thinking of the stories and mere talks that I've heard from people who already have gone there. While my mind won't stop wondering how would it be like after stepping down the plane. You may think, I'm over responding but I think it's just a normal reaction when you're at a certain place for the first time and where almost everything is unfamiliar. But, so be it! I ought to be there to get my task done.
Though it didn't turn out to be a fortunate appointment, I am still thankful I successfully made it safe. Plus I have had a day of pleasurable chance to visit Robinson's Manila and explore what they consider the 3rd largest mall of the entire Asia, the SM Mall of Asia. Syempre, di ko na pinalampas since nandun na rin lang ako, di ba. It's just about 20-minute ride (with a regular traffic flow) from Manila Bay Hotel in Roxas Boulevard where I stayed.
And this is of course one of the reasons while I didn't want to come without my camera with me (:-D)
the mall's main entrance hall...
but since it's already dark and I can no longer see what it's like on the outside, I opt to just take a nap for the entire flight duration instead. It really helped me feel better.
Finally, after how everything turned out, I believe I deserve some break. And to whichever in the world I wanna see myself next? don't want to think about it yet! I just wanna be in one place right now...and that is HOME... where I can give my pretty little head some rest.
