Steady Down South

I know a lot of people think living in South is kind of a no-no thing for professionals, or even to commoners, or whoever. I mean, a lot from my friends hate it. Yea, I understand them why. Hello? The freakin' traffic you'll encounter every single day, the toll fee, the shortage of water (uhuh) and the uber layo from the city! Yes! I know what you all think about our humble place.. But what can I do? I love it in here. I love South even I know I almost lost my job for being late every single day at work. I love South even I have to deal with the traffic during days and nights. I love South even all of my friends from college are living in North. I just love South that I had to go back in there for the nth time after trying to settle in different flats in the North. I tried living with my relatives from Rosario Pasig twice, I had rented a condo in Greenhills, I rented an apartment with friends somewhere in Ortigas Extension (Sorry, I forgot the name of the village). Yea, even I felt the comfort of travelling going to the office, I still opted to stay at the South. As for the reasons? I got tons! :)

... And here they go: I had my family there. It's quite hard being independent. I couldn't seem to eat alone. I was too lazy to fix everything for myself. Hahaha! OK. YES! I AM LAZY. Period. I can't stand the fact that no one's answering me whenever I'm ranting. I can't smoke alone. LOL I've been punishing my purse for shopping tons because of boredom. Hahaha! I couldn't seem to save moolah when I'm far from home. Lastly, I can't chill with my old friends. YES! A lot from my highschool buddies are still living with their 'rents. So whenever they text me before, I couldn't say yes right away since I'm living far from them. Sooo, I opted to go back in our old town. Dirty soouth :)

If you'll just experience living in there. You'll see for yourself how lovely it is living in down south. We also got a mini greenbelt there, called Alabang Town Center. Libis or Makati where you can find tons of bars and spots for drinks and whatevers, you can rely in BF, somewhere in Aguirre St. I'm telling you, you'll love it in there. Really cheap drinks and yummy foods. Malls are tons as well, from Festival Supermall (well it's as big as Megamall I think), to Starmall (goods are cheap as St. Francis'), ATC (again, a greenbelt-like), and we got SM too (Muntinlupa, Sucat, Bicutan, Las Pinas). Did I ever mention how steady it is in there feeling the cozy breeze of the provice-like air? Come on! Yea! And the fact that it is far from the city, I mean all the cars from edsa, all the busy people in Makati and North Edsa. Once you're in South, you'll kinda like the steady atmosphere. The laid-back living.

YES! I super love South. :)

So, while I was enjoying my long weekend alone, I realized how lucky I am living in down south.
