Given a
chance, I drop by Cubao Expo (because I don’t like calling it Cubao-X) whenever
I’m in the Araneta Center area for nostalgic purposes. It was one of my
favourite places when I was still living in Cubao and a CFAD student in UST.
The place had always been quaint and feels like home for artists. People who
hang around are usually art students from UST or UP, so it’s a very welcoming
feeling to sit in one of the bars or browse around for unique finds. Fred’s
Revolucion is one of the fairly new joints but feels like it’s been there for
ages…but then again I’m not so sure since I visit the place only once or twice
a year. I miss Mogwai.
