10 things I love about Chicago
Here’s a list of the 10 things I love about Chicago
1. Parks - I love to sit in the park and read a good book. Walk around even in the afternoon and not get soaked in sweat. Sit on the grass (gosh! I love it) and no one will care. I can’t do this in Luneta park (baka hulihin ako ni mamang guard or kaya yung gwardia sibil na bantay ni rizal). But honestly, a park is a good venue to release your stress and can calm your nerves. Try it and you will love it! heheheeh!
2. Dogs - I am not a big dog lover pero majority of the dogs here in Chicago are so cute and looks tame. Hindi tulad ng karamihang aso sa pinas na parang tignan ka lang e parang kakainin ka na ng buo. Here, most of the dogs look healthy and eat pedigree, back home, most of the askals (asong kalye) look like "lampayatot" and eat left over foods. hehehehe! There was one incident though, where I hated 1 dog. There was one time, after my roomie and I went to the grocery, 3 dogs with 3 different owners were waiting for the elevator to open. 1 dog was getting so out of hand and kept on barking and barking! Then all of a sudden, all the other dogs were also barking. Super natakot ako at napatago sa likod ng roomie ko. eheheheh!
3.Weather - Hey!Its the windy city…all wind! I can walk on the streets at 12 noon and hindi ako ganun papawisan! swear! I was in the park with only a cap from 11am to 4pm and hindi ako ganun pinawisan. kewl!
4.Sidewalk - people here loves to walk. I can’t blame them, with a nice windy weather plus nice big sidewalks, i wouldnt be riding the bus nor train again (hahahaha! except pag napagod na ako kakashopping)
5.Sale kung sale - Heaven talaga for the shopaholics out there. You need to have a keen eye on the good buys. Tip lang, wag iconvert, medyo mahal talaga sya. 
6. Transportation - kung hindi na kaya lakarin ang gusto kong puntahan, super dali mag bus, train, taxi (kung may budget). Pwede pang humingi ng resibo for reimbursement for the taxi (astig! hehehe!). Meron pang mapquest to help you how to get from one point to another faster and easier.
7. Lake - Nature lover ata ako. I love the lake, nakakarelax sya lalu na pag stress na stress na ako sa work. It helps me cool down pag mainit ang ulo ko. It calms my nerves and keeps me sane.
8. Jewels - buy one take one ice cream…yum! $3 12 pc can diet rootbeer. yum!!!! Need I say more?
9.Accessibility to the office - 15 min walk to the office, no traffic (stoplights lang) 1 hour and 30 mins and I will be able to take a bath, dress up, cook my lunch, cook and eat my breakfast, watch the tv (weather channel para alam ko kung magjajacket ako hehehe!) and walk to the office. 1 hour and 30 mins in manila, travel time ko lang yun e!
10.Accessibility to the mall!!!! Old Navy, Gap, Banana Rep, Kenneth Cole, Nike Town, Disney Store, Water Tower, TJ Maxx, etc. etc. daming stores within walking distance. KEWL!
Its not all bad after all, once you get to know the city well. Pangbawas homesick!
