joie rain loves manila
May 28, 2007 by joiestar
in my blog hopping today, i chanced upon rye’s patriotic post, an excerpt of which reminded me of how i love manila, how i love this country the philippines — and so i quote below:
Manila is dirty and crowded and noisy and polluted. You can practically smell, taste, hear, see and feel poverty everywhere. But all that is part of Manila’s charm … Because that’s what makes you realize how poor a nation we really are. And yet, we are among the happiest peoples in the world. And then you ask yourself why and how we are able to do that. But there are no answers. We just are.
let it then be written in the annals of history how joie rain, the half-virgin gay, while loving cute boys and hunks of all kinds also loves its country and its people. that, and world peace.
