January 14, 2008Back in my old abode…
Market, grocery, drugstore, hardware, church, parlor, fastfood chains, bakeshops, LRT station… they’re all just a block away. The mall and the hospital are walking distance. The animal clinic and pet shop were two LRT stations away. Jeepneys and trikes are just around the corner. I can almost reach everything within my reach (except for my place of work). Haaay… my old place was more convenient than the sari-sari store.
It’s pretty hard to adjust to a new environment. Here, it’s the exact opposite.
There is only one sari-sari store, which only sells RC cola and e-load then closes around 7 in the evening. 711 is the only grocery near but it’s still 5 minutes walk. Everything else is so far. There are no jeepneys or trikes around. Cabs are the only means of transpo. The only thing close enough is the office. Well, I don’t have to travel for an hour just to go to work. We still don’t have internet and landline. I’m in the middle of the metro, but it feels like I’m far from civilization.
This morning I applied for the PLDT internet bundle. I called this afternoon and they told me that my application is already approved and I can have my payments done right away. Yippee! They’ll be installing it within this week till next week. What a nice birthday gift this is. I can’t wait to call my friends or surf the net. I’m so excited!
