Living in the City when you are single and not rich

I have no picture of those skyscrapers, instead, I got this picture of the houses I see every time I open our apartment door.

I remember telling myself before to not live in Manila anymore, but here I am enjoying city life for almost a year now. How I ended up here was by personal necessity (and by weird turn-of-events) which makes it non-negotiable.
My first experience in the city wasn't really bad except for the horrible traffic every day. But with the new administration, gradual improvements are being made, like rerouting public vehicles that cause traffic. Such on-the-road improvements are still ongoing, so until they are done I can't say that traffic is resolved. But as long as there's progress, why not? we might be close to realizing it.

I am now an RD subscriber!

Little dreams do come true.

I first got a hold of a readers digest magazine when I was in high school. It was a luxury for me then. As a student who barely had an allowance to survive the week of commute, money for buying good-reading materials is definitely off the list.
