Quezon City is a bit far for a Manila girl like me, but what makes the distance sweet is that it is a cheap MRT ride away. Compare paying fifteen pesos on the train and driving to EDSA with all those cumbersome buses on the way - I will always choose the former.

Anyway, who would we find while gallivanting in Rockwell yesterday but another Pinoy heartthrob, Marvin Agustin.
