Aissa was judging Project Citizen last Saturday in the University of Makati. I listened to some of teh student pitches then decided to take a look around the campus to see if there was anything worth sketching. The campus itself is pretty impressive for a city university. except for the fact that mayor Binay had his paws all over it, in the form of stylized Bs on all of the staircase and window grills. Candidate for worst epal? Anyway this giant tree in the middle of the campus caught my attention, because it was obviously spared during the midst of constructing the University. It's stands out beautifully, if a little lonely, in the middle of the campus.
Sundays we alternate between my folks and Aissa's. Last weekend was at Aissa's, and I've recently taken to walking around the Aguirre street area, looking for interesting things to sketch. The South has a surprisingly large foreign community, with many Koreans and Japanese but also Europeans as well. This leads to very unique restauratns like this Japanese barbecue place, which wouldn't look out of place on the outskirts of Osaka or Kyoto.
