Quezon

I dwelt in Quezon City.

I like the skewered saucy fish balls from the streets of Quezon City.

My friend lives in Quezon City.

On the 1st of November of 2021, I joined Hans the Netherlander at his table in the cafe. The day after Halloween was rainy outside. Whilst I was drinking iced green tea, Hans gave me a piece of brown candy. He took out a jar of peanuts and offered me, but I said that I get pimples from peanuts. As a child in Quezon City, my family had a peanut farm near our lot; we boiled them, and I ate, as I was not allergic as a prepubescent. We then talked all about astronomy: exoplanets, asteroids, and the moons of the gas giants. Titan, a moon of Saturn, is specially stunning with its black methanic rivers, lakes, and seas. Hans said that the next fifty years will be exciting for astronomy. As we talked, a big handsome man with a muscular build came in, ordered coffee, and left.

In the outskirts of Quezon City, amidst a red savannah stood my house. On the lawn, there were two small artificial hills with a jocote tree beside them. On the tree hung strung circular tinted capiz shells.

In the outskirts of Quezon City, amidst a red savannah stood our house. Our lawn and lush tropical garden made it seem like an oasis.

Our house in the red savannah outskirts of Quezon City stood by a cliff. Near that cliff was a bushy area, which the maids cut back with machetes. There were intriguing vines with spade-shaped purple leaves. They might have been tuber plants.

Our house in the outskirts of Quezon City stood in a red savannah. When it was dry weather, often red dust devils would sweep the grounds. Sometimes, they could be as big as a house. I sometimes ventured to stand in the middle of a red dust devil, as I felt the swirling air.

Our house on the outskirts of Quezon City stood in a red savannah. During a typhoon, violent rain carved the red soil like "Grand Canyon" sculptures.

In Quezon City, my family enjoyed a favourite place where there were two restaurants, Italian Village and Monk's Inn, both medievally decorated. In the latter, I had my first taste of French onion soup and bouillabaisse. In the former, I enjoyed lasagna.
