I never thought i would say this.........

I really miss manila.

there really is this sweaty, sticky over-polluted, over-populated, traffic infested, always flooded and long commutes of Manila that makes me say "hala, miss ko na ang manila". wahahahaha

at yup, miss ko na nga talaga.

I'm starting to have the what you call this, homesick thing, pero ayus lang, chillax lang, indi ito ung tipo na umiiyak sa sulok at nagmumukmok, homesick in a way that I am now really starting to appreciate the little things that i am taking for granted back to that place i call home.

Pero un naman talaga ung main reason kung bakit ako nandito, yup, this is the main reason, and not because ang cebu ay malapit na sa mindanao at chance na ito para makapunta dun, indi rin dahil sa additional sweldo, indi rin dahil sa technical upgrade or something. well lahat ng namention ko sa taas ay partly reasons why I am here, the point is, they are not my main reasons, kung baga, kung un lang ung mga dahilan ko, mas kaya ko syang iwanan sa isang tabi at d na lang tumuloy.

For me to know and appreciate the things i am taking for granted, that was my main reason why i am here, only a handful of people knew that, well now you guys know.

This was also my big step into independence. living independently, since the dawn of time, ako ay isang homeboy, homeboy kase lagi akong uwian. mapa school days, kahit OJT or kahit ngayon nagtratrabaho na ako, ako ay laging uwian. kahit gaano kalayo man ang naging school ko mula sa bahay, eto at uwian parin ako. So i never experienced the independence and life of an independent student/employee/man.

So this is it, the part of my life that was delayed in implementation. now i know, now i feel, now, i miss manila......

Manila
by Sandwich

Amoy usok, amoy pawis
Mga aleng nagwawalis
Pitong batang nanglilimos
Kulang pa sa hilamos

Siguradong ang karakas
Itataya lang sa malas
Pag napagod at namalat
Boy bawang ang katapat
Lahat nagmamadali

Traffic na sa expressway
Nagpapahangin sa boulevard
Sunset sa manila bay
Mama-manila mama-manila
Mama-manila mama-nila
Para-para-para-para boss

D'yan lang sa tabi
Gigimik lang ako sa malate...

Amoy usok, amoy pawis
Jeepney driver nang-iinis
Ayaw sumali sa pila
Siningitan ang kalesa

Sa may kanto tatlong pulis
Nagmemeryeda ng mais
Kung ang tindera'y maganda
'Wag ka nang magtataka
Lahat nagmamadali

Traffic na sa expressway
Nagpapahangin sa boulevard
Sunset sa manila bay
Mama-manila mama-manila
Mama-manila mama-nila
Para-para-para-para boss

Take it to the quiapo bridge

Tatlong milyong kaluluwa
Naghahanap ng ginhawa
Laksa-laksang tinig
Di nawawalan ng pag-asa
Tatlong milyong kaluluwa
Naghahanap ng ginhawa
Laksa-laksang tinig
Di nawawalan ng pag-asa
