Baggins in me blood
Suddenly I'm off to yet another adventure, and it always started with a nudge, a dare, or caused by boredom and monotony. Suddenly, I'm in La Salle Taft, I'm in CCP. One random day I went to Quiapo and had my camera fixed. Last summer I almost got killed by cargo trucks while crossing the industrial zone in Batangas. Some years ago I went to Palawan and was finally convinced that a part of Narnia exists in the Philippines.

Today I faced my fears and walked around Makati. I hate Makati, not so much about the location, but about the people they represent. I always thought that Makati had always been the country's annoying yuppie, pseudo-intellectual, back-scratching capital populated by Trump wannabes. Well, I can't rule out the annoying yuppie, pseudo-intellectual back-scratching folks, but the thing is I realized that not all of them are. Some people are just honestly successful, and have a lifestyle totally different from mine. Some people I could deal with. And, in fact, some of these people are my friends.

But that doesn't mean I wanna work there.

I've reread The Hobbit last week and heck I can now totally relate to it. I got a knock on the door one day, and realized I had to travel to Diliman - a huge deal from someone who hated commuting and never went out during high school. And since then I've been trekking. The next time you hear from me, I'll probably be making maps.
