*haha. this is prolly the only time you’d see me dance! thanks, Mel, for the ‘inspiration.’

what’s happenin’

Yehey, aside from the improvement of Sales Bridge a few months back, we got a new (partial) C5-Merville Access Road and a newly portion-repaired Moonwalk Access Road!  Now, if only traffic is better down south (Bicutan onwards), going to Merville/Moonwalk via the highway or service road should just be a breeze. For related article on the whole C5-Merville Access Road project, click on http://www.senate.gov.ph/press_release/2007/1201_villar1.asp

On the other hand, the Multi-National back route has been horrible.  There are some unfinished diggings along Multinational Ave. and big machines/trucks along Baclaran-Roxas Boulevard.  Arg.

Dang, the new Cash and Carry is soooo different!  There’s even a National Bookstore, Yellow Cab, Terriyaki Boy na. More stores to open soon daw.

Burgoo in Powerplant has done some renovations as well; gone is its our-lawschool-days-look.  There’s even a new CPK in Powerplant…and our then much sought after National Bookstore. The underbar in APS are lucky!

There’s Krispy Kreme at SM MoA na rin — but there is no red light lamp.  So, no free or even just hot doughnuts for sale.  The first and last we bought from said kiosk, the coffee was bland pa. Back to the Fort!

Speaking of the Fort, there is a new store in BHS — R.O.X. They got really cool outdoor stuff!  The camping gear are fascinating, although I’m not a camper; haha.

Robinson’s Place Manila has a new wing also — the Midtown wing.  The area got upscale stores and restaurants; the aircon is super chilly; and the corridors are wide, well-lit, and shiny.
