The Metro

I was born in Naga City.  After that, I basically had most of my childhood in Legazpi.  My teenage years were spent in the Caribbean, then my college years back in Naga City.  Metro Manila is mostly my mother’s hometown and a place I go to for shopping (for books, really).  I am still feeling lost here in the metro.  Thankfully, with a few times that I got lost and times I asked for directions, I now have a clearer idea on how to get around (at least to places I HAVE to go to).  I still need to get used to all the walking.  It is a far cry from my life in Dominica, where my dad used to drive me to and pick me up from school.  I have to quit calling for cabs because it really is expensive and risky when you have absolutely no idea about routes.  A city atlas helps me out with that now.  I have to make use of that "A" I got in high school geography. I am so grateful to the LRT/MRT.
