Niel's Condo: A Haven


Was able to meet up with Niel last week & he showed me his last pictures of his Malate condo.
I guess everyone does get to move on. Just wanted to say that in the many times when I've stayed in Malate, in Niel's condo, it has been like a haven to me:
* a place where I rediscovered my love for reading (its been sometime since I've had the luxury to laze the day away with a book, & Niel's place was like a library = I devoured one book after another!)
* where I could sleep uninterrupted (a luxury for me!)
* where I felt so free and independent (there's something about the Manila air that makes me feel so sexy & beautiful!)
* where I could talk to my bestest friend in the whole wide world! while eating the yummiest sisig at Gilligan's Island!
* a heartbeat away from Divisoria shopping! (& where I could take a breather after buying so much stuff!)
* a place for adventures (& misadventures!)
* a stop-over place where I seemed to be coming & going to different life-changing events
* a place where I could be myself

Mushy though it may sound, there is this old song that so aptly describes what I feel about Niel's condo:
"There are places I remember, all my life, though times have changed. Some forever, not for better, some are gone, & some remain. All these places have there moments, with people & things, I still can recall..."
It was a real haven to me, when I needed a place where I could run to. Niel's Condo.
