This is for my CONCEPT class. I will be posting stuffs like this everyday. uhh, bear with me na lang. Just random stuff. hahaha Parang ang sabaw nitong post na to. Just don't read this if you're not prepared with my crazy thoughts. :))
Taft is different when you bother to observe it. Your view about Taft would change when you observe at it carefully. You would hear different sounds, you would smell different scents and it would remind you about different things. As I was walking along the sidewalks of Taft, my mind was slowly being engrossed by the things I am hearing. I tried to concentrate on the weird smells of Taft but I was unsuccessful in doing so.
The sounds of Taft was really amusing, amazing at times. Some people might think I am crazy for saying these but the hell I care? Yes for me it is amazing. It reminded me of the documentaries about different countries, most especially about India. I think it was a show in Discovery Travel and Living (or was it Discovery Channel?) where I heard the sounds of India. The blowing of horns, the sound of people chattering, the sound of footsteps. And now I badly wanna go to India to feel it. :p
Smelly Taft. Taft is so polluted that there is hardly any other scent you can smell aside from the the smell of the smoke from jeepneys (don't you just hate smoke belchers?) and cigarettes, the two main causes of lung cancer. Well, I smelled the scent coming from McDonald's, you know cheeseburgers and fried chickens. And then I suddenly remembered how I used love McDonald's as a kid. Then it hit me, I am not really that fond of McDonald's anymore, I am so used to eating there that I am starting to hate it. In high school I usually ate at McDonald's when we were given a chance to eat outside the campus. Don't you just love the smell of their cheeseburgers and fries, oh and don't forget their yummy McFloat (which I haven't drank for almost a year now. abstinence! :p)? Another thing I remembered when I smelled the scent coming from McDonald's was the chicken in one of the certain eatery near our school, I really liked it for its err, unique sauce (and just now I am craving for this). To my high school friends, don't you just love Lopez for their yummy chicken? :)
So why is my paragraph about the smells of Taft (this made me laugh) longer than the sounds of Taft when I said above that I was unsuccessful in trying to figure out the stench of Taft.
When I rode the FX, all the sounds and the smell vanished. I was still thinking about my yummy chicken and about India while I was sitting comfortably inside. And now I wonder, would I still see Taft like this or would it just be the same as before?
And now I just lost my train of thoughts.

Hi Gela. This entry has associated a lot of sound and smell, and all are mostly in the Taft area. For a project or a thesis, you can revolve around the Taft aspect. Madaming possible topics kung mapag-uusapan ang Taft. Isa na ay ang culture sa Taft, another is the different schools within the area. It could either be a documentary or any medium of your choice. Thanks. :)
