    Huh, so that’s what happened to Gotesco.

    I think one sordid memory I have of Ever Gotesco Grand Central is when I chose to watch an MMFF movie there, all alone. It was a PG movie, so none of that “strangers in the dark” stories, but man, the floor is sticky, and it was late 90’s di pa uso yung reserved seating, at uso pa ang standing-room only, so mejo siksikan. I don’t think I‌ managed to enjoy the movie at all. Then the rest of the mall felt claustrophobic. Maraming tao as it was December 25, but it felt so off. Wala ka rin namang matambayan na matino, so I just opted to go back home. I thought I would have been better off just watching the movie in the nearby movie house, as it’s as dingy, though the “novelty” of going to a relatively far place made things better.

    Then nung una naman akong nakapunta sa Ever Commonwealth was early 2010’s na, so mejo may status na sya as being old and rundown. It’s far livelier than Rockwell though, so IDK.

    Ever Ortigas naman… I think I’ve only been there once or twice? Both of them are fairly recent pa. It’s probably the eeriest mall I’ve ever been to. I can hear my own footsteps echoing, and … yeah!
