It's amazing how quiet the world gets during the Christmas holiday season. Maybe it's because everyone's out of town - probably celebrating in the province or out of town. Even the malls - notoriously crowded starting November - are now quieter. Went to Greenhills yesterday to have our annual Christmas dinner, and I was actually able to walk around without being pushed around by a throng of people.
On my way to Makati to meet Mark, the taxi driver was raving about how the roads have been so easy to navigate the past few days. He concluded that we really need to lessen the number of cars in order to fix the traffic situation in the metro.
Even in our neighborhood, the atmosphere is very quiet. The entire stretch of 20th Avenue is rid of the usual hustle and bustle, which makes it a joy to walk to Daily Supermarket.
I'm liking this sense of peace and quiet. It makes me want to wish for that popular Christmas saying: Sana araw-araw ay pasko.
