a piece of peace
My favorite spot in Makati is in Gamboa St., Legazpi Village - the park behind Corinthians Bldg. in Paseo de Roxas. It’s a piece of “green” amid the concrete jungle. I love this park compared to the well-landscaped Greenbelt Park because there are trees scattered across the former… and most of all, it is not as crowded as the latter.
I used to frequent this park (i dont know its name but lets just call it Gamboa Park na lng), this is where I take a break with Fides and Miko, eating, talking, or just sitting and enjoying a stress-free moment (however short it may be). It is only months after I last visited the spot that I went back to kill time at Gamboa Park by myself… and I am glad I did.
It was past 130pm and I still havent eaten lunch… Dizziness worsened because the office across where I work is being renovated, paint fumes suffocated me. So I decided to have a lunch-out… On my way to GB, I decided to eat my lunch at the park… So minutes later, I was sitting on one of the benches, eating my KFC chicken steak lunch. What could be nicer than eating lunch while hearing birds chirping and feeling the soft wind breeze and warm touch of the sun. I should do this often before we move to Salcedo Village… It eases the exhaustion I feel and the suffocation I feel for hours and hours of stay in an airconditioned office.
