where: guangzhou, china (aka butt-fuck egypt) 
why: workin' the local fabric market... and some.

for the philippines' "aspiring-at-large".  you can find
anything in guangzhou.  from italian-grade linen cloth,
to cashmere, and woven labels; to bargain electronics
and accessories, deep-fried turtle or snake, and a hiace
with a bumper sticker that says "guwapo on board".

what i'm trying to say is, manila needs to step its game up.

maligayang pasko!
