I’m sending you all on a quest to check out these street-side booksellers.

Post-Phoenix concert, and post-Turbo Goth in Saguijo, my boyfriend and I walked to the apartment, and stopped by the McDonald’s at Paseo de Roxas in Makati for a midnight snack.

We noticed a couple of guys sitting at the front steps. I’m an introvert so I wasn’t able to ask their names.

They had books laid out on the mat on the ground. And they weren’t just any books. They had really good writers in that spread like Anais Nin and Maya Angelou. They also have second hand Vertigo, DC and Marvel comics that were obviously published or compiled 3 years ago or so.

I got this copy of Maya Angelou’s “Singin’ and Swingin’ and Gettin’ Merry Like Christmas” and I’ll read it once I’m done with this other book.

Sometimes, these booksellers might be at the Chowking or the Tropical Hut a few blocks away. But you can expect them in the area on week nights.

So do me, and yourselves a favor. If you’re ever walking home from Saguijo or B-Side, visit them. Have a little chat, check out their books, maybe even buy one and take photos with them.
