It has been almost a decade since The Itchyworms performed in the city-state of Singapore. The now-iconic Marina Bay Sands was still under construction, for one, and Universal Studios was probably still in blueprints.

Been to Intramuros last Sunday for a purpose… to witness the opening of the first ever Old Manila Eco-Market. I remember visiting the historical Intramuros and the Manila Cathedral long time ago during school field trips. I felt good to be in the area once again, thanks to this Eco Market.
