Top Ten Reasons why I HEART Kyusi :-)

In case you've missed the obvious, let me lay it out for you in plain language -- I'm a bona fide Kyusi Fan! I was born here... I grew up here... I'm now studying here... and hopefully, in the future, my career will allow me to stay here in Quezon City.

What's there not to love about Kyusi?

Ok, I admit there are lots of things that can cause one to not like it, but taking everything into account, Kyusi comes out quite positive.

Here are the Top Ten Reasons why Kyusi is dear to me:

1. The fact that there are many trees in the city -- in Parks, in Schools, in vacant lots, along roads, and in people's backyards. I can breathe in Kyusi.
2. The constant public works improvements one sees. Yes, they're a pain sometimes. But somehow one gets the impression that people's Taxes are being put to good use.
3. That the premier universities in the country are right smack in the middle of the city. Students here have a choice -- very good choices. 
4. It has a relatively large middle class sector, concentrated in several enclaves around the City.
5. The preponderance of tambay places! Practically everywhere you look, there are places to hang-out in, catering to all budgets and preferences.
6. That more and more areas are getting Wired. 
7. That the City Government is quite progressive. Proof? The City has an Ordinance on Reproductive Health! Yehboi!
8. That the QC Police doesn't have as bad an image as do other Police Departments.
9. Kyusi's LGBT (that Lesbian-Gay-Bisexual_Transgenders to the uninitiated) sector is very vibrant.
10. The formal and informal economy of Quezon City is quite varied, ranging from huge IT-BPO complexes to sidewalk vendor encampments along pedestrian zones

And, finally, what other city in the country has a Mayor and a Vice-Mayor who are both artistahin?

Teka. That's 11 Reasons na pala. :-)
