Walking towards pasig river stench. The black, and viscuos water shines under the sun like indian ink.
There's a small park beside it, too small to be a park, maybe a playground, or rather a sleeping ground where homeless people take their to their rest.
Has a ps100 haircut in a small manicure pedicure haircut shop in pagulayan street in poblacion municiplaity.
Then walk around the rockwell area. Belair is in the vicinity. Powerplant shopping mall also nearby.

he bumped into the sts peter and paul church, an old church built by the Spanish in 1620, in the barangay pablocion. the hot day called for a water stop. so he adjourned to a small juice bar, in a-venue along makati ave. ordered a big cup of banana, mango ice-freeze. he read the newspaper lying around. after 30 minutes, he left. then he realised he left his cell and pda in the juice. he made his way way back, and asked the bar tender, "did you see a cellphone and a pda?"

"yes... you're lucky, a lady customer found them on the table and gave them to me.... seldom you find such people in manila."

"that you very much indeed...."

as he was walking out of the shop, the message reminder of his phone sounded....
he opened the message, it said,

"i'm your memory. treasure me and keep me dear to your heart, always."

and it was sent from his own phone.

- this kind hearted person must be someone who cherishes memories so much that she hates to see people loose them thru carelesness....
