entry arrow9:33 AM | Puto Maya, and Changes



Chanced upon a woman selling puto maya and tsokolate at the corner of Hibbard Avenue and E.J. Blanco Drive near the end of my morning walk today. Turns out she's Stall No. 1 at the painitan but had to find a better spot because no one goes to the painitan anymore. Yesterday, Renz and I were wondering what would survive the pandemic: we see boarded up stores with signs that declare their closing permanent. KRI, for example, has closed -- although it sort of still lives on in Esturya. One of the first massage parlours in the city has also closed shop, a blank where its signage used to be. We are slowly waking to a new landscape.
