once upon a time, when our department still had its own online forum (a great stress reliever by the way and terribly missed by laidback slackers here in our office heheh), somebody came up with an interesting post regarding his favorite hang-out(s) here in manila. the enthusiastic response for that snippet gave us a quirky insight of the way some of our officemates chose to spend their free time…
most respondents opted for the mall, for obvious reasons; others chose parks, pubs, gyms, etc. and out-of-town locations, while a few said they were "mahilig rumampa" with their barkada anywhere; others even opted for their own homes (familiar surroundings and all).
personally, when i have some spare time i usually head for coffee houses (e.g., Starbucks in Blue Wave); it's not about the coffee mind you — even a generic brand will do as long as you're in the right company. another place that i usually haunt is Fully Booked in Rockwell. *sigh* i could spend hours getting lost in there without noticing the time. and of course there's always the iMAX theater lobby @ MoA, a great place to sit (nice, plushy sofas) and hold a quiet conversation with your pals as you wait for the movie to start.
how about you guys?
hehehe… dami nating tambayan ah. ok ba sa StarB? i don’t think i’d ever been there. how does it compare to fully booked or powerbooks?

Posted by ThePseudoshrink at January 31, 2007, 10:42 amwhen i worked in Laguna before my fave hangout was ATC, kc malapit hehehe particularly in:
1.Timezone-till i run out of money 
2.Powerbooks-have finished many books for free just hanging out there
3.Starbucks-not really big on coffee but love rhumba
when i got back here in Davao:
Timezone and a local coffeeshop, haven’t found the equivalent of Powerbooks and the closest thing i have is my room i guess but the books aint for free
PseudoShrink: wee-heheh! nadali mo ako dun sa StarB mo ah….
raine: is there no starbucks outlet yet in davao? di bale, i don’t think it’ll take long for starbucks (and other franchises) to sprout all over davao city

sabi sa yo e. i think i wrote an entry once about how i bawled when i watched it. it’ll probably be a long time before i’ll watch it again (preferably when i’m alone, so no one can hear me bawl). this is why i love miyazaki’s films
