Stand on the Border


Isn't it cool to be in two places at once? Not in a fictional sense, of course. I'm sure you've seen this in movies, when people stand on the border state line. You may think that this isn't really an extraordinary thing to do, but then I've never done it, and I plan on doing it.

Things like these make life a bit more interesting. It may not be much of a challenge to stand on something, but the effort to get there just to stand on the border is something I'd think about. Here in the Philippines, there are apparently no states; we have cities, though. I remember when I was younger, my grandmother and my mom would tell me to watch out for the sign where the border between Quezon City and Manila can be seen. One second I'm in QC; the next, I am in Manila. It's actually pretty cool, because you don't normally look out for borders when going around the Metro. The thing is, I'm not going to make an effort to stand on the border of these two cities. It's lined with cars and people. I'll just look silly standing there.

I'm sure there are other borders around which I can stand on. I'd want it to be special in a way, so for now, I'm going to go look for one I like.
