Interesting! I learn a lot from you. I never noticed the Paris like layout (used to go there a lot in the 90s on nights out)

Weren't you the one who told me din that Manila Pen isn't Locsin (all my life that was what I knew!) hahaha! It's my favorite hotel

SAME. I avoid crowded malls like the plague that's why I prefer Greenbelt and High Street - open air din and lots of green. Rockwell favorite ng mga seniors for some reason.

I like names better like in San lo it's after Filipino artists, much easier to remember at ang pinaka common sa Pilipinas na street names - trees or flowers
