Walking is exercise

Half day as usual. Fortunately, I was not held up by the Puregold incident. After a quick lunch at granny's, I planned to go to GSC for both thesis and non-thesis related errands.

The thing is, I can't take the LRT-MRT route for obvious reasons. So I took an FX to Buendia where I walked over to Harry's Liquor and Harrison House of Wine. Nice selections especially for the ones I'm looking for.

I just took the bus to Ayala but unfortunately, the one I rode on only goes up to the Enterprise Towers. So a few more minutes of walking. Good thing I ate lunch then. After that, Taking the MRT during the noontime rush hour is definitely something I want to avoid now.

Decided to visit the EDSA Shrine and found something worth a second look (I'll be back, eventually). And then a short jeepney ride to GSC.

At GSC, I thought of looking at the Holy Family Gallery and I wasn't disappointed. For one thing, its free to go in there. Just ain't allowed to take photos (not that I mind). I got the contacts I needed, and I was able to visit eyo sales on the third floor so my list was crossed out for the day.

Heading back, I really had no idea what came over me. I decided to walk from GSC to the Ortigas MRT station. Given, it wasn't the longest walk I took. And I wasn't stupid enough to wear my jacket that time. Anyway, its exercise. By the time I got to MRT Ayala station, I was kind of tired. So I took the bus home instead of the FX. Which also means I didn't get to play at TimeZone and I didn't get a sweet refill. Well, doesn't matter much anyway. Doraemon was gone for quite a while. Maybe I'll play again when he's back.

And no, walking is NOT my favorite pasttime.
