Random Gripes you Wish to Express...

Sadly, Fernando's is no more, bro. What has been erected on the site is a 15 storey(?) commercial and BPO building, with various restaurants on the ground floor...

There was also RFC at the mouth of Manuela, bro.... It is not, anymore,- I mean the building is still there, but it is now owned by PureGold.... The Hans still have their Dental Clinic across Manuela Ave,- but may not be there after a while, according to them because Mang Inasal would like to have their space for their expansion and so they are probably relocating to Verdant Acres.... [I miss the duckpin lanes at the Manuela Complex[near RFC] and the tenpin lanes at the Manuela Mall[near Philamlife Village]]

And the ricefields behind Manuela and Greenview are no more,- they've been converted to subdivisions....

Yup. It took Google Maps to show me the stomping grounds I remembered before are gone forever. Besides the rice fields, there used to be just the newly built Naga Rd and CAA Rd (intersection) at the Verdant area. I followed BF Homes to its northernmost extent, crossed a dirt trail into Paranaque, and ended up within sight of the airport perimeter fence where I watched planes take off and land.

I suppose this is a gripe in my part. I really liked the old style of Pamplona back then. But, you know. That's why so many people moved there. There's no halting progress. Oh well.

Surprisingly, a number of my wife's friends came from that same area between Manuela and BF Homes. When they learned I used to live at LPC, they started chatting with me more which irritate the wife sometimes.
