I love Makati because of shopping on weekends but wait till you see this business district on a weekday. It’s terrible! My usual commute to Ortigas takes me an hour and I’m comfortably seated the whole time but Makati?! I have to allocate an hour and a half for the commute if I will take the LRT. I was late for work and it’s my first day at Makati. Most of the people at work were late as well.
When I got to the office, the air conditioning unit was not turned on and it was oven hot. It was a pleasant surprise though when I saw my office. I saw my name posted on the closed door and I enthusiastically opened it. Right before me was the view of Makati’s skyline and I had a bird’s eye view of the poolside of Mandarin Oriental Hotel. The floor was carpeted and the room smelled of wood and I had a coffee table with 3 cushioned chairs in the middle of my office. It was a wonderful sight and a welcome change. I can now experience the privacy of talking with colleagues and focusing on tasks that had to be accomplished minus the disruptions. How I love it.
Despite the traffic, I’m happy to enjoy the peace and quiet that I need. This is my sanctuary.
