This happens to be at Monchot's place in North Forbes Park - and the picture looks so idyllic... it could easily be mistaken for some kind of resort. But what would you say if I told you that beyond this garden's tall walls would already be the corner of E.D.S.A. and Buendia? Beleive it, in fact the visual treat is intruded by the noise of cars and buses passing by... it's almost a dichotomy between what my sight and my hearing senses register - my mind is in denial thinking 'this can't be'.
What was I doing here? It was a S.A.G.A. get together for March - sort of celebrating Monchot's birthday, but really just wanting to have an evening of chatting, seeing old friends, having some alcohol and enjoying Monchot's cooking. It started with Fred signifying he would like to learn drinking some more, and from there... well, let's just say I started making some inquiries (primarily asking Monchot if he was free this 2nd of March, and if we could gather at his place - he said yes to both) and when things were set, it was just a matter of inviting people.
I'm sort of glad we got this done, as it allowed some friends who did not make it on the pre-Christmas get together, to make it this time out. Funny that in al those times I enjoyed staying at Monchot's place, I never bothered looking beyond the room and seeing this garden, Had it not been for the fact that it is right beside E.D.S.A., I would have wanted to hang around in this backyard garden,
