The 13th Street we grew up in has now been paved and widened. The coconut trees that once were in front of Rocky's and Tito Boogie's house have been chopped and removed. The asphalt road where we rode our bikes, where we walked to get to Gilmore or Broadway, where we stood to wait for the taho or fish balls or the Presto Ice Cream cart or the pot-pot bread, where we hurled our water bombs, is now cemented. Although the new road is much better and cleaner, I miss our old 13th Street.

wow, ang ganda! there was a time, though, that 13th street was full of potholes and eyesores, no? but you're right, nakaka-miss yung dati, when we were kids and we could bike all the new manila streets with no fear.

I do not like it! It looks like a street from a subdivision in PNQE....
