My Hometown

Most of us have one thing in common.....and that is hometowns. These are fantastic places to live in. And if you meet someone new from the same town, you instantly have this connection. Its like you've become a bestfriend to a stranger. We always assume that people from the same place know each other. I don't mind that at all.

I was born in Makati City but I mostly been living here in Paranaque City. At first I thought it was a weird name....sounds like someone is being murdered or something. But amidst all that, its actually a nice place to live in. It's near the Southside where lies Hot springs of Laguna and Nature trippings of Tagaytay and at the same time near the hustles and bustles of Manila and Makati. 

I had a great time here. I've been living here for most of my life. When I was a kid, there wasn't really much anything interesting other than dragon flies and a meat shop. But now, its been totally different. Different in a good way. Suddenly restaurants like Amalia's (Spanish inspired resto), Conti's (Home of the amazing cakes and pastries), Sophie's (Vegan paradise), Pizza Niro and Aveneto (Italian hub) are sprouting like mushrooms. Karaoke bars (or as we prefer Videoke) and coffee bars are the life at night. I love visiting Churrito. It's a spanish inspired bar where you can enjoy churros and their hot chocolate. It's nice just have a conversation and chill. But if you want the loud music and booze, there is always Tides and Central.

 

There's so many great things to do here. And the best part is that I don't have to travel for hours just to enjoy these places because its in my hometown.
