I had a relatively smooth trip to work today.  Roads were filled with vehicles, but at least traffic was moving.

Along P. Tuazon going to EDSA, along the curve just before you reach SEA Oil, i saw a group just chilling away the Valentine morning.

"How I wish I could just spend my day just chilling out with friends," i said to myself.

Its been a awhile since I've seen my real friends.   If I remember correctly, the last time we all went out was middle of 2007.  June, I think.  We didn't have our usual Christmas binge, nor our annual year end booze, and now, not even our valentine group date.

Maybe its the occurrences in 2007 that kinda wrecked our social spiderweb.  Some of my friends got married.  Some already became parents.  And some, like me, got so entrenched in work.

I do get to go out with some of the members of our early-dawn club, but we haven't been a group for a long time now.  Its the second major season of the year. Damn.

*sigh*

[Avant - Verse 1]
Baby I know when we started out there were things you didn't know, but babygirl we got a lotta things we

Round creepin' and love on the low but baby girl I can't wait till' it's officially us, I can't wait to
Let them know about us.
[Nicole]
First I tought that I could take you boy but I don't know, you told me you were gonna leave her for me
Long ago.
[Avant]
Eventually I will but I just gotta take it slow don't wanna break her heart, altough I gotta let her go
So baby ..

[Avant - Chorus]
So please don't say you wanna give up.
How do I tell her that I'm falling in love,
And I know you're waiting patiently for that day,
When we no longer have to lie about us.
Im with her all I want is your touch,
And when you call me I don't wanna hang up,
And I know I say it often but I can't wait
Till' we no longer have to lie about us.

[Avant - Verse 2]
Baby I know situation don't seem fair to us both.
But babygirl, she's an issue that I'm bout to adjust.
Don't mistake our love is ment for just us,
You are my soul, mind, body, spirit all that I know.
But babygirl I can't wait till' it's officially us, I can't
Wait to tell the world about us.

In black and white, it reminds me of old school Manila.  Narrow roads and power cables complete the scene, bringing me back to the time when a pay phone costs only three 25 centavo coins.

The round terrace railings with wrought iron accents was at that time found in almost all gates. In a few homes it spelled the initials of the owner, in some it spelled the entire last name.

I remember when at that time, there were no FX Taxis and crazy motorcycle groupies... only buses and jeepneys ruled the streets.  Unlike now that a lot of accidents, and crimes, are caused by stupid motorcycle riders.

Don't get me wrong, i love living in the "now".

I just enjoy reminiscing every so often.

I have always enjoyed a good cup of coffee.

Photos were taken at Figaro in Starmall EDSA, using a Nokia 5610.

Its inspiring on how many still have the spirit to fight and be entrepreneurs despite news of economic imbalance and political rifts.

Like this man who attended the February 9 session of the Mr. Sipag at Tiyaga Caravan: Libreng Pangkabuhayan Workshop of Senate President Manny Villar at Starmall EDSA Shaw.

He was probabaly late that's why he was seated at the back.  Still, he would rather be standing and learning, than sitting and not fully absorbing the lecture.

This was taken last January at the fourth level parking area of Metropolis Star Alabang. The red building is Hotol Sogo, just for reference. :-)  Used a Nokia 5610.

This photo of an intersection in Alabang was taken last February 2, 2008. Used my Nokia 5610.
