let me count the ways

September 3, 2010

I’m happy with my new home I just had to share it.

It only takes about 3 minutes to walk to the LRT2 station, and about 7 minutes to reach school. Meanwhile, it only takes about 10 minutes from school to house. (before, it takes 20 minutes to go to the FX terminal, and another hour to go home)

There are abundant stores nearby, including bakeries, ihaw-ihaw, lomihan, and suking tindahan. (before, a few stores, all closing before I get home)

The streets are well-lighted, with tanods around, so it feels safe walking home at night. (before, also lighted, but the street is deserted at night)

There are many Internet shops around, complete with scanning software and printers. (before, a long walk before the nearest shop)

There are vendors who pass by our street selling vegetables, sapin-sapi, taho, and grapes at half the price! (before, none at all)

The community is generally happy, with very active barangay participation. (before, people are aloof, mostly because they’re strangers [mostly just tenants] to each other)

I got wifi for free! =)
