"Sometimes I feel like I don't have a partner. Sometimes I feel like my only friend, is the city I live in..." - Red Hot Chili Peppers, Under the Bridge
Las Piñas is a friend of mine. When all else fails, I find consolation in its littered sidewalks, dirty streets, dim skies and graffiti walls. Yes, Las Piñas has a gloomy face, yet being born in it 16 years ago makes it beautiful to me.
As much as Las Piñas looks cheerless to most people, that is what I, as an individual, have seemed to be too. Have I been too thoughtful of life that I've forgotten to look at the bright side? Have I been too serious of daily living that I've failed to make other people really happy? Maybe this mere entry is a proof of my usual brooding self.
Still, one thing is for sure: Las Piñas and I have a thing in common. We fail to radiate the real joy that has always existed and that will still exist within us. Our inner bliss has already entered our hearts but it fails to exit to our faces. Yet I assure you, kind reader: Las Piñas and I are happy and we shall strive to share it with and show it to you. We have never ever wanted to seem somber almost the time.
And with that, I bid farewell to the Las Piñas series. I'll think of another topic in two-three weeks' time. For now, just enjoy commenting on my blog. Haha! Thank you.
