@ Venice Grand Canal
Since I missed the chance to visit Italy when I cancelled my supposedly first ever out of the country trip, I feel bad every time I see images of the said country in magazines and TV shows.
Until one day, my former college classmates (shout-out to Joshua Gio Sampayan and Mary Jane Haylar) invited me to go to Venice Grand Canal popularly known as Venice Piazza.
At first I thought it is a tourist spot located at the heart of McKinley Hill Garden Villas in Taguig City but the fact is... Venice Grand Canal is a SHOPPING-MALL! WTF!
I even took the opportunity to visit my company's food carts located at the side of the mall’s man-made canal. Yes, I am presently working in a franchising company which happened to be Miguelitos International Corporation and I am a HR Training Specialist there. I visited the Miguelitos Burger and Miguelitos Ice Cream. Proud to be!
After a short chit-chat with the service crews that I hired a few months ago, I continued my expededition.
A few walk from my site, many people are happily watching the Venetian street performers with their colorful masks and unique movements.
I've also concluded that indeed, Venice Grand Canal is the selfie capital of Taguig City or even of the entire Philippines archipelago. Almost all of the people (both foreign and Pinoys) are holding their cameras and capturing lot of moments. Even me and my two mates can't resist to take pictures. it feels like I'm in Italy.
Buong araw ding okupado ang tulay sa sentro ng Venice dahil sa dami ng taong nagpi-picture'an. Sa gilid ng tulay ay mga padlock na kahalintulad sa love locks ng Milvio bridge Rome Italy.
Pagpatak ng gabi ay mapapamangha ka nalang. Sa kalagitnaan ng dilim ay biglang may magsisipagliparang mga ilaw dahil sa YOYO EXHIBITION sa mismong tulay.
Good thing, there are lot of restaurants, fast foods and food carts there. We even played food hunting from Miguelitos Burger to Miguelitos Ice Cream to S&R New York Style Pizza and to Dairy Queen na obviously meron naman sa halos lahat ng mall pero iba parin yung feeling na sa Venice Grand Canal ka kumain. Kung may pera lang ako, baka mas marami pa dun nakain ko. By the way,
salamat Gio and Jane sa libreng foods. Hehehe.
The best gala. Buti hindi naging "DRAWING" ang lakad namin. Muli akong magbabalik sayo Venice Grand Canal. Tulad nga ng madalas na sabitin ni Son Gokou ng Dragon Ball," Hanggang sa muli. Paalam!".
Captured during the Miguelito's Got Talent of Miguelitos International Corporation wherein I am presently working as a HR Training Specialist. That night I've done a MASHUP performance wherein I sung 10 different songs to the tune of The Lazy Song of Bruno Mars. Honestlt speaking, nag-mukha akong tanga. Hindi ko first time mag-tanghal. I even performed half of hundred of times, even hosted recitals, singing competitions and concerts with very huge crowd pero iba parin pala ang feeling kapag nag-perform ka sa harap ng presidente at mismong chief exective ng kumpanyang pinagta-trabahuan mo. Hehehe.
