I went to Manila, a strange place, just to get lost.
 
Here, in a place where everyone goes, is a great place to hide.
 
I hide from a jealous husband.
 
I hide from prying eyes that seems to want to know everything.
 
I hide from wagging tongues of those who thinks they know.
 
I even hide from myself, from what i did. I abandoned a home, my Home.
 
I came to Manila to be a stranger.
 
A place where I can walked around unnoticed.
 
A place where I can lose myself in a crowd. And yet be completely alone.

    welcome to the marvel of cities, yani. it's amazing how you can be surrounded by a virtual wall of people, yet be more alone than ever in one.

    have you made any friends in the time you've been there?

    Ed i have acquantances, i know people from work, but friends? Nope. I find it difficult to talk beyond the niceties. I mean, what will i tell them? About a life I wanted to forget? about my kids? just thinking about them makes me wanna cry, i can't talk about them. I don't know what to say to all these new people. I don't think i'll ever have friends. People who will know things about me, the important stuff.
