Midnight Train

some thoughts:

Its eight days after I resigned from work last June 29 09, sad at my first couple of days that I no longer have to go to work. If youve been doing something so constant for the last 2 years Its going to be a little difficult to cope with the sudden change specially on the hours that I used to sleep and wake. Ive been enjoying my stay at my house, no job Im online all day browsing websites and searching interesting videos on youtube to entertain me. I get to hang around with my Mom a lot more thou I know that she'd much prefer me working so I could add to my family's income. Ok. My resignation from my previous employer wont go to waste. I have learned my lessons and hope that I wont commit those mistake anymore. ok so much for this issue.

last night:

I had nothing much to last Wendnesday so I decided to contact a long lost friend from in college who live in Makati. I told him I was bored and asked if we could hangout together for a quick chat to catch up with each others lives. We agreed to meet at 8pm after dinner. Coming from San Mateo Rizal the ride was like more than an hour I took the MRT since I have this P100 stored value card that my Dad gave me which I dont get to use very often. I meet up with my friend around 9pm boy I was late but was glad that he needed to do some erands first while waiting for me and it was ok. We went to a Ministop store near his place were I bought some snack and a can of Redhorse beer to drink. We chatted for like 2 hrs just reminiscing the days after our last meeting some 3-4 years ago. It was nearly 11 when we parted and I took a jeep back to MRT Magellanes station were I waited for 20 minutes for the next train. I still dont feel like going home to I decided to call another friend who's shift is about to end in an hour. He agreed to meet me after work and I went to my office building in Edsa Central were I watched TV while I wait for him. After an hour my friend came to pick me up with his car we drove somewhere in pasig. It went fine and I went home around 5am.


.. and Here comes my midnight train topic:

So last night I was riding the train going to shaw blvd. And it felt like a dream. Way back in college I remember writing a short novel about this guy who got stuck on a train station at midnight alone then ran into this girl blah blah ( I never got to finish the story and I only remembered about it last night, ) the train ride was fantastic. It was half empty and was quitely running up in Edsa. Outside me was the view of dark streets, tall buildings from Ayala, buses and pedestrians.. and then it hit me. Its a big change, the train will now operate till midnight. Its a new era beginning. The City is changing. And its no longer like what it was 2-3 years ago. I wonder what its gonna be like for Manila in the future. More night life for us filipinos. Easier access to places that we want to hang out. Its exciting.
