The CSB Experience 2: Off to Strata 2000

    I mentioned to you guys before that I'm this sort of a "human compass". I would frequent places as far as I could go and I have a pretty good, if not always perfect, sense of direction.

    Take yesterday for instance. I was on my way to this place called "Clique n Snap" found in Strata 2000 in F. Ortigas Jr. Ave (formerly Emerald) in order to print my portfolio for Fotogra. With me was Raymond who also want to have his printed as well.

    From the Vito Cruz LRT station, we dropped off in EDSA station then went straight to MRT Taft en route to Ortigas station. From there, we walked passed SM Megamall, crossed the street in St. Francis Square and turned left to J. Vargas. And from J. Vargas, we finally arrived in F. Ortigas.

    At first, I though CnP was in Strata 100, that building whose name is printed in bold at the front. Turns out, we were mistaken. The guard called CnP using the number saved in my cellphone. What's weird is that after making that phone call, he asked a high 5 from me.

    Realizing it was, in fact, Strata 2000, we crossed Emerald and walked straight inside that pinkish building with a "cherry" tower on top.

    The building has really weird elevators: You press the number of your preferred floor, a screen will show you which elevator should you wait for (A, B, C, D, E, F).

    At the fourth floor, we finally airrved to our prime destination. Armed only with our best shots, we had them all printed into two solid portfolios, one for me and the other for Raymond.

     I was grossly surprised to know that my portfolio alone cost me about ONE THOUSAND FOUR HUNDRED FIFTY SEVEN PESOS!

    Yes, hard to believe but its true. My mom only gave me Php1,200 but good thing I had some extra hundred-peso bills in my wallet, with a lot more to spare for merienda.

    We were there until around 5:30pm. Raymond and I had merienda at McDonalds, found just inside Strata 100. Afterwards, we went back to MRT Ortigas to ride home safely.


    I'll have pictures of my best shots posted really soon.

PS: I wanna die because I failed to notice the wrong grammar in the "About Me" page before I had it printed...WAGHH!
