(no subject)
i'm in a weird mood. i'v suddenly want to uproot myself from where i am and live somewhere else. and with that thought, i thought of the possible places i could live in. so here is a list of places i'd most likely go to.
1. batanes - i love batanes architecture and not just the manmade ones. i love how the limestone cliffs, the bounganvillas (sp?) the old garrisons, the stone houses and the beautiful beaches. of course it rains there 90% of the time (just my estimate), but i think this place is just beautiful. and it has almost 0% crime rate. but i don't think i'd live in batanes for a very long time. i need my city essentials--t.v./cable connection and internet connection. phones, i could live without just as long as there is broadband internet.
2. boracay - only because it's one of the few beaches that has a lot of people in it. it's beautiful there and the white sand is just the best feeling. too bad it's getting crowded there. but oh, well, i'll hangout with the hybrids and the bakasyonistas. i especially like the thought of living in a beach similar to a sammi cheng movie i can't remember the title of. i think the movie was shot in malaysia.
3. vigan - again, the architecture is wonderful. i could just imagine myself exploring the churches and all the monuments there. i also like the fact that there's a beach there somewhere, although it requires some traveling.
that's it for the local ones. i'll probably think of some other places in the philippines, but for now, i'll stick with these three. although, i think i'm considering baguio. and i've just noticed that i haven't really considered what kind of career i'll have in these places. i'm thinking i'll just be lounging around there and live the bohemian life. but of course, i'm thinking i'd be too rich by then to work. not very plausible, eh? hrmm...
4. australia (sydney, melbourne or queensland) - i've lived in australia before, albeit in the most boring part. but anyway, i immensely loved sydney, melbourne and queensland. melbourned architecture is very unique. a lot of victorian (turn of the century type architecture), gothic style architecture (i may be wrong, though) and yet it looked so modern. i love how crowded it looks without being suffocating. although, the weather there is weird and well, the waters in their beaches are just cold atlantic ocean and all. with sydney and queensland, the beach culture is much more alive. and well, queensland's weather is similar to ours. sydney, it's so cosmopolitan. and i'm sure of a night life there.
5. new york city - there's just something about the way hollywood and other media potray this city. it presents so much oppurtunity. movies and tv shows and even books have romanticise this city as the best city in the world. and after 9/11, it seems like they're just proving it to be so. and really, if new york is half of what everyone is saying, then it is really good. there are just so many things happening in this area. arts, business, science a melting pot of cultures. it's rich and lively and anyone would just get suck in and be taken for a ride. i'd like to experience that ride, too.
6. london - like new york only in europe. this to me is europe's version of new york, only more posh and sophisticated in a way. i just hope the weather would be nice.
7. paris - i would love to learn the french language. immerse myself in their culture. live la boheme and all. but basically, i just love how romantic paris is. and well, the architecture and the history adds up to the romantic feeling.
i still have other places i want to live in. thailand, brazil, somewhere in canada, south africa and somewhere in the carribean. i don't know what i'll be doing in these places, but i don't really plan on staying outside the philippines for long. i'll die in the philippines. of course there are places i would never like to live in such as singapore, parts of china (hong kong included, cause the people there are rude), places in south america where there are lots of druglords. anyway, i won't be uprooting myself anytime soon. this might even be just be a fleeting feeling. next year, i may not want to get out of this country, although, by the way things are going in the country, i might be force to leave the country. anyhoo, the philippines is a country that i love dearly. we have crazy people here, we have pollution, we have the worst traffic in the world and we have so many shit going on in our country. this is the best that a third world country can offer, but i'm here to stay. i've return to the philippines and i'd be doing so everytime i leave. call me crazy, but i just love this country. :o) and i predict that 2006 will the philippines year. i might not be here, but our country would be known throughout the world. and it would be for a good thing. ;o)
