Back in Manila, my friends and I go out for skate sessions after work. Thursdays was our regular skate night. But when work doesn't get in the way, we would skate every night.
It started in 2005 when I went out to skate at a parking lot near my office. Empty and quiet, all one can hear is the sound of the wheels spinning when it carves the concrete. As the night wears on, the chopping sound of the board breaks the silence of the city.
It was like some sort of freedom. It felt so great.
After a long day, you'll go out there and skate your stress away. Without thinking of work and being chased by security guards. Without worrying if it's already 2 A.M. It was just pure fun.
