The most common questions I get from friends who haven’t been to Cubao X are:
What is Cubao Expo?
Where is Cubao Expo?
What to do in Cubao Expo?
To which questions, I answer:
It’s a quaint spot somewhere in the metro where you can find art, antiques, random handmade items, comics, toys, food!, booze, fanciful furniture, and weird-shaped stores.

If you’re coming from the Cubao MRT Station, make your way to Gateway, get yourself out of Gateway, cross the street to KFC, walk straight until you see a giant Dalmatian or a spotted askal, turn right and when you see a washed out building with a circular blue and yellow logo that says Cubao X, then you’ve arrived.

| I don't know how long it has been there. Haha. It needs company, I tell ya! |
Eat, get in and out of the many galleries, take photos, find quirky things, try on spiffy clothes, drink and when there’s an event, dance (or at least bob your head to the beats)!

Cubao Expo is an awesome place to get lost in.
Last week, my friends and I went there for the Manila Design Week 2010 Ender! I bought a disposable camera and we all took choice shots. Here are some of them:

| Our English teacher in high school fronted the electronica band, Techy Romantics! |
 |
| Awesome food at Bellini's nom nom nom |
 |
| A black and white painting in Heima |
 |
| Live Music by Caliph8 outside T.H.E. Clothing |

| Oh hey, antiques! |
