10 Things I Dare You to Do in Metro Manila

Philippines, a great place for seemly people of good culture…

Modern era, a new fashioned time for competitive people of recent civilization…

Take time to picture a country of hope and progress…Metro Manila the Place to be…

(Ok Cut!!)

I’m trying to write an article but I don’t know where to start so I wrote those lines.

I can’t even think of a topic to write so ill just dare you to do something (if you can). I don’t think you can even do at least 5. (These were just the product of a person's wild imagination  who doesn't want his day to get ruined by the heavy traffic) : -)

1. Take out your iPhone while walking along the streets of Divisoria or Quiapo.

2. Pretend to be handicapped and take the lead vehicle of the MRT. (or if you’re a male and can pretend to be a female much better)

3. Take the LRT and after every passenger settles down read the poetries Berso sa Metro posted on the walls of the train aloud, in Spanish.

4. Go to Ortigas avenue and take the overpass crossing EDSA or along Taft Avenue from Metro Point, give a donation to the blind singing, request a song and sing with him.

5. Go to any Starbucks Coffee Shop and instead of the usual picture taking with your frapp as a souvenir take a handful of coffee bean from the harvest sack displayed.

6. Send a text reply to any of those written vandalism on the bus seats, or bring a pen and write your own response.

7. If you’re inside the MRT or LRT draw near a person with a loud mp3 or headset and sing the song he’s listening to.

8. Stand beside a person using his ipad inside the MRT or LRT and ask him how many Angry Bird levels he can unlock.

9. Take the MRT during rush hours. When you approach Guadalupe Station get near the exit door, get yourself stuck by the wave of passengers coming in and shout “Doctor Wak-wak!”

10.  Go to EDSA and ask an MMDA officer for a cigarette lighter (but don’t bring a cigarette).

 Hey, but Manila is a good place to stay. If you want to know more about it you can read the articles about Living Urban, The PhilippineMetropolis Way article.
