through raymond's (gewi's pangs) photo blog, i chanced upon this Manila Daily Photo Blog. i saw several familiar stuff, like the Manila hotel (winks at hubby), the streets, the jeeps, buses, the food, the manila bay, people dressed in conservative pants and shirts although it's scorching hot... and then there it is, SM Mall of Asia. a whole new subcategory all for itself.

i browsed through the pics and i couldn't help but be impressed and feel smug for being a pinoy. the mall icon have really taken it maaaany, many steps ahead. with all the malls popping out like mushrooms, how could they even have time to plan this one out? it looks so different from the other malls we already have. it's like i'm looking at a mall from a different country, even more, from a different planet! ok that may be an exaggeration. but it's so modern and sleek and kick-ass looking, you'd think the concept was taken out of the 1980's idea of a city from another galaxy not far away.

i noticed the vicinity is spic and span, no garbage, no trash. i hope our kababayans will keep it like it is. people have the tendency to think there are people getting paid to clean up their mess, so they won't exert effort to keep the place clean. somebody'll clean up after them anyways. i really hope that after several years, the place will still look modern and nice. i pity what happened to SM North Edsa, it was suddenly like a Recto shopping center to me. (tabi-tabi sa mga nagwowork sa recto malls. hehehe! just my opinion.)

we should be proud to home the largest mall in asia. and i can't wait to set foot (or skates) on that olympic size skating rink! for now, i'll just be contented looking at the pics.
