The Move

My almost 12 months working in Makati has accustomed me to the area. I know parking is bad in Makati but I've got used to it. When people hear that I work in Makati, they say I'm sosyal or something. But it's not. Yeah, people are almost always in their corporate clothes, carrying their suit cases with matching cell phones almost attached to their ears. People seem to be always on the go. There are foreigners, who seem to know their way around, everywhere. There are the high-rise buildings and condos as well as the high-end shops and restos. But I never got intimidated about the place. In fact, I loved it. The fact there are food kiosks around my office was enough to satisfy my appetite (hello laking ala carte ata 'to ng UP). I can walk around Makati without feeling tired provided that I see nice things and nice people. Did you know that I walk from MRT Ayala Station to my office near Paseo almost everyday? That's some exercise! Of course I passby SM, Glorietta and Landmark and take the bridgeway. Isn't it nice? On weekends there are various food sales. About commuting, there's always the reliable Ayala-Washington jeep. I sure did have problems commuting in buses but I've come to terms with it. My friends are also Makati workers. I am going to miss working in Makati.

In a few days our office will be moving to Net Quad at the Fort. The Fort used to be just a gimmick place for me. But soon I'll be working in the area. There were a lot of clamour about our move to the Fort. This was more about the transpo. Commuting at The Fort would only mean by cab or by taking the Fort bus. Last time I heard the management was just making arrangements in having a 24/7 trip for the Fort buses. I'm no fan of taxi cabs. Oh well! About parking, there's still no word about it. Since it's The Fort, food is expected to be expensive. Let's just see.

I'm sure there would be new adjustments but part of me is positive about this move.

New adventures here I come!
