Sunday Should Not Be Gloomy

The concrete jungle city of Makati has always been one of the busiest places in the metro. Traffic, air pollution, congestion of people along ayala, are just some of the staple scenarios every weekdays.

But, during Sundays Makati can be calm and it can still make you fall in love with the city even more. There are weekend markets that you can visit wherein you can buy local foods, organic products, flowers, handy crafts and local artists' artworks. Another thing to enjoy in Makati during weekends are the parks that are most commonly found in Salcedo, San Lorenzo village and in the Ayala Triangle Gardens where you can have a great time eating at local restaurants and enjoying the beautiful instagram-worthy park. There are many parks surrounding the entire CBD wherein you could go for a walk or you could just sit down, relax put your earpods and read some books while appreciating the beauty of nature. 

I always feel like when I'm walking in Makati, I'm walking at the New York Times Square plaza, or sitting in the beautiful Central Park where I could just stare at people who are walking or passing through the park. 

I enjoy walking along Makati every Sunday because I find it peaceful and most specially it makes me appreciate and love my city even more.

I wasn't able to take some photos in Legazpi Weekend Market because I'm actually at Salcedo during this time, but I listed here some things that you could do in Makati during weekends.
