I agreed to meet with Mother in Magallanes this afternoon. That was before I was told (by Vic) that it was still part of Makati and that I couldn't bring my car.
We figured, the quickest and most convenient way was to take the MRT. I got on the Shaw station, through Shangri-la mall. The train ride was pleasant. The AC was very cool and there weren't too many people crowding in the train cars. After one station, I got to sit down.
I decided to get off at the Magallanes station. I didn't know I had to walk that far, to our meeting place, at noon. I crossed EDSA through a foot bridge. There was no shade along the sidewalks of Magallanes. I forgot to bring a fan, a hankie and an umbrella. Needless to say, I know I looked ngarag. I felt it. I also felt the dirt clinging to my sweaty skin. Ewww talaga.
On my way back, I rode the cab to the Buendia MRT station. I no longer had the strength to walk back from Paseo de M to the MRT station. The heat was unbearable. Besides, My Nestle Fitnesse breakast didn't equip me for that walk.
In less than an hour, I got back to Shang where I left my car. Though it was a quick trip, I'd forgotten how tiring it could be.
---------------------
On second thought, it may also be because I am so out-of-shape. I used to walk farther and climb a steeper staircase to get to work. In heels, no less AND after a workout class at the gym. Oh well.
