Life in the city has all these rapid changes, but our province seems to remain the same. Away from all the hustle and bustle in the city, it’s in the province where I get to commune with nature, take photos of great sceneries, feel the cold wind during the night, and eat my favorite food,…
There are times when the head and the heart contradict one another, and the boxing match between Manny Pacquiao and Floyd Mayweather Jr. yesterday turned into one of those instances.

Tucked away between high-rise condominiums and small shops, almost hidden behind double-parked jeepneys and pedicabs, is a bygone marketplace that’s easy to miss. Just one LRT ride to Gil Puyat Station, a five-minute walk, and you’re welcomed by blue, green, and yellow banderitas connecting the vicinity of Cartimar.
