"The City that Adopted Me" Quezon City by dcmanicad

I was born in Manila, but I was adopted by Quezon City. You see, QC (lovingly pronounced “Kyusi”) occupies a large part of Metro Manila and it is right about in the middle so I don’t think anyone can really avoid it (unless you don’t go outside of your house in the suburb). I studied primary and secondary school in this city. I passed by here, everyday, on my way to the university. I also pass by here, everyday, on my way to work. I do my shopping here (SM Fairview). I do my malling here (TriNoMa Mall). I even learned how to roller skate here (Ali Mall, year 1993). So I am pretty much a Kyusi boy even though I really live in Caloocan City (actually I live very near the border of those two cities, but who cares right?)
