Noelle, it’s a good thing that law was implemented. Sometimes laws need to be passed in order for behaviours to change.

It may be an accepted fact of life that driving on Philippine roads will have its share of “git-git”. That doesn’t make it any less annoying.

The only reason why horns aren’t honked as much on EDSA is because last year a law was passed about Noise Pollution. You can honk your horn once to warn someone, for instance. But you can’t honk it repeatedly or for a prolonged period of time.

Mark: Oh so Fiesta Carnival is gone. I thought I saw some rides or something. And yes, COD’s gone too. But I hear people now have elaborate Christmas setups at their own homes.
And syempre, jeproks tayo, ‘no?

Paulo: Overloaded, it is. And Kris Aquino - she’s everywhere. As for the political situation, I feel like such an outsider. But I can’t avoid it even when I get back home. I hear the Arroyos flew to San Francisco a couple of days ago! BTW, we drove through Macapagal’s hometown in Pampanga last night and there was a police presence in front of the municipal building.

Marie: St. Jo! That’s one place I need to visit before I leave.

Gateway was being built when we visited in December 03. I was a bit overwhelmed with the huge billboards on freeways and buildings that have sprouted everywhere including narrow local streets. BTW, we did a nostalgic trip and dropped by St. Jo and my husband’s old school and home in Pinaglabanan.

When I went back for Christmas, even after just two years away, I was pretty surprised by the sudden jump in EDSA billboard density. Advertising overload talaga.

Hope the current political situation isn’t getting in the way.

Grew up in that area too. Kabilang side lang kami - P2 & P3. Jeproks ka din pala!

If you notice it’s no longer Fiesta Carnival but some huge supermarket ran by the Rustan’s group. Nalungkot ako nun when I found out. Before I left I took a walk - from Farmer’s Market until the building formerly known as COD. It wasn’t that late so the lights were out and there were still people about. Wasn’t that scary yet. Natapos na din pala yung Gateway Mall. I hear they have rocking good movie theaters.
