31 Dec 2019 – SCENES BEFORE HAPPY NEW YEAR – Walking and going through two malls …
Two women, appearing middle-aged to me, in conversation about the daughter-in-law while crossing the bridgeway – “Baon na nga sa utang, kung anuano pa pinagbibili …” [Already deep in debt, yet buying more things …] [Read more]
Salespersons, before their wares, momentarily oblivious of people around, thinking of the next year, or food for the New Year gathering …
A senior person, in the food court, in baggy polo and trousers, his senior card before him, counting his coins and bills, good for the next discounted meal?

A long line of women waiting for their turn in the few toilets which the mall could spare …
A new family, with two young sons walking on their own, enjoying their lamyerda, occupying the whole four lanes of the corridor, blocking my way … I slowed down. Why am I in a hurry …
