EDSA After the Rain
Day in and day out, motorists are bombarded with images of cameras, phones, houses, boxers eating chicken and the mandatory (not-always-scantily-clad) gorgeous women. But today was different. It was actually, dare I say it, pleasant looking.

No, there was no new Natalie Portman Kamiseta ad, but in fact there were none. No billboards at all.

One good thing this storm did to the Philippines is clean EDSA of those annoying billboards. Okay, fine, there were a few left standing, but most of them were either torn down by the wind or taken down by the billboard owners, even that ginormous one at Guadalupe Bridge. Sure, what was left was equally ugly looking rusted steel/iron frames but it looked a whole lot better nonetheless. People should really take notice on how EDSA or the South Super Highway looks without those nasty billboards. Look how much better looking our streets would be with less clutter. They should also take notice of the risks involved of having massive billboards that will topple over with strong winds. One only has to look at the one along the highway to see the damage it can and did cause. Cosequently, that was allegedly the same one that caused the power outage in Metro Manila thus ruining my World of Warcraft session (yes, folks, I'm still shallow).

I can't help but think that this is what EDSA could've, no, should've been if it weren't for the lousy city planning. [sigh] Enjoy the view while it's there folks. This, like street names in Metro Manila, won't stay the same for long.

P.S. I would've taken photos, but it's hard to take photos while driving. I'm good, but I'm not that good.
