the Connection... of the past and the present

it has been ten years since I left Taytay after graduating from high school and ventured out in the Universtiy belt for College. Of course i still visit once in a while but I don't stay longer.

and then... there is SM Taytay. But it's not really about SM why i kept coming back lately to Taytay and why I am staying there longer this time compared before. There are actually many reasons. First, a close friend just moved there so I stay to spend time with her (I am sure she'll be happy to read this). Second, I miss home.. I really miss staying at my tita's place besides, I haven't spent quality time with them this past years and I just miss them. There are other reasons but I want to end with this: my third and last reason is because of the increase in fare. Taytay was closer to the office and after travelling around region 4 it was a place for me to rest as well at the same time to hang out with friends who are just around the corner of Taytay. And now with the opening of Starbucks we don't need to worry about going home because we are just few minutes away from home.

Starbucks in Taytay also gave a sense of connection to the past. There was not a visit in there that I haven't met people I knew in the past. And memories flooded my mind seeing old peeps and familiar faces. I feel at home.
