london



London has been a fabulous place. And I just can't seem to stop talking about it. She has given me many reasons to look back on the days when I stepped on her pavement, on her land, on her ground. It's a love relationship that I haven't gotten over up to now.

I don't know why London has been such a special place. Maybe because I was a British kid waiting to happen, or maybe I just found a foreign land so alien compared to our dear Philippines. Don't get me wrong, I've been to other countries, but how young have I been?! Six?! I don't remember much about how it felt.

I don't know what's about London that makes me want to go back. To go back for more. Maybe because there were still so many things left to see, I don't know.

In London I experienced riding a subway/Tube, walking all around without hailing a cab, crossing a bridge without a car, being into a 4-storey toy store and many more things. We hunted for that "blue-door" in Notting Hill. I went through 2 whole weeks without an iPod.

I don't know, at that sense I just felt that I was meant to be in London. It's like, I don't know, I belonged. Even if I was always in jeans, a jacket and Chucks. I love the climate, the goodlooking people. I used to hate walking. But being in London changed that. Drama, pero totoo! Hahah. I loved waking up in the mornings. Lolo's healthy breakfasts. Schweppe's. Pudding. Tesco's. Miss Selfridge. Blue Water. Haaay :(

You know what, it's like I want to live there. Prolly leave everything behind. And I don't know what you call this feeling. It's a scary feeling. A feeling that you're "ready" to leave people that you love behind. It's scary eh. I mean, iiwan mo mga taong mahal mo at ok lang yun?

Kaya the next time I go back to London, I know what to wear na. :)
