It's summer already and yet it has been so gloomy this past few days. So, is it really summer?
The temperature dropped from sweltering to just so-so. It's good in a way that I do not have to turn on the airconditioning unit. In a way, I get to save. But still it's so gloomy that it tends to pull down one's spirit.
Iloilo is such an interesting to live in. It has a very diverse culture and a much laid back atmosphere compared with other cities in the Philippines.
What makes Iloilo interesting?
Hhmm...It might be the Ilonggos themselves or their interactions with people coming from other places. There are many Ilonggos who made a name for themselves and excelled in their respective fields. There are also notorious Ilonggos whose names were splashed in newspapers because of controversies. The most interesting though are the common people who go through the rigors of daily life in Iloilo or in other places.
Iloilo is also known for its rich cuisine. Think batchoy, pancit molo, biscocho...the list goes on. Ilonggos are people who savor their food. That may be the reason why restaurants can be seen in almost every corner.
It has always been said that the people from Iloilo are gentle. Yes, they are but they are also capable of rants and anger. It is even said that one wouldn't know that an Ilonggo is already angry.
But then again, Iloilo and its people are quite unique.
Hala Bira!
