a gloomy day at seattle, cubao

first monday of the year to see the streets of cubao. my new turf. it's that old dirty streets that are full of jeepneys. it is best known for the coliseum of the aranetas for it is the place-to-be every season of uaap, which i never witnessed ever. it's now the home of budding artists in the country to showcase and sell their creativity in art galleries/shops at cubao-x (shorter for expo). my new mall is gateway which used to be greenbelt when my former office was meters away from it. it's also the center for connecting cities and mrt. it used to be the old cbd (central business district) in the 80s according to my dad, until new business districts sprung like mushrooms over the years. i used to be so picky on my work environment. i preferred makati cbd because of it's posh ambience and it's accessibility to hangout places and clubs. but i discerned that no matter how opulent it is, at the end of the day i'm still a meager thriving laborer. oh life is good as i am having a cup of hot white chocolate mocha at starbucks with my trusty mac. 

check out these artsy-fartsy shops!
