Living in the South has its ups and downs. The nicest advantage is that we don't have to deal with the unbelievably annoying traffic in the metro and obviously, the air is cleaner in this side. SLEX is friendlier to motorists most of the time, unlike EDSA who likes to annoy its everyday commuters. The disadvantage is that we don't have a lot of options for shopping and dining. The friendly Alabang Town Center is - thank God - a half an hour drive (or less on non-rush hours) away from Laguna. One afternoon my college friend Ronet and I went there to have a sweet slice (or two) of cupcakes, a cup of coffee, do a little bit of shopping and loads of catching up.
