grass instead of the mall pavement

There's something thrilling about walking on the middle of a street, which is exactly what anyone can do in parts of the UP Diliman campus on any given Sunday without fear of getting run over by jeepneys or cars. It's still a car-less oval every Sunday around the academic oval. And yesterday I spotted some dudes near Palma Hall working their skateboards and making like x-games competitors on a wooden beam -- sans knee pads and helmets. Watching them, then, was accompanied by a bit of anxiety.

Still, walking around the campus and plopping on the grass to watch kite-flyers and soccer players in action at the sunken garden was a welcome respite from mall-roaming and..net-surfing, hehe. Too bad I don't have a photo of the campus to accompany this post. Maybe next time I'll take some pictures...

Have a good week, everyone.
