Cebu - Where my heart is!

Cebu City 


Travel Date: Sept 12 - 13, 2014


No, it wasn't my first time in Cebu.

In 2007, I have volunteered to be relocated in Cebu when ePerformax was expanding. I kinda felt that it was a good move for me back then and I really felt that something's up for me in this place.

Cebu gave me the liberty to know myself better; to know what I really wanted in life, taught me lessons of life beyond words and imagination. It was a mixed feeling of lost and love. I hated and loved Cebu at the same time. Only time can tell.

This is going to be my first travel after my break up and i feel so strange and aggressive booking this flight. "I am going to meet someone's family and stay with them for a couple of days" This has lingered my mind all through out.

I wasn't really sure why i booked that pricey ticket, all I have in mind is to shy away from the busy buzz in Manila and all my issues in the office. I thought, "This is going to be a break for me".

I wanted to be with Argie for the weekend. That's what we do. That's what we've been doing for the last 4 weeks. Maybe I got used to his company that's why I wanted to be with him again. Come on, he will be in Cebu for one week pro'lly fix some errands and go back to Manila again. But I can't help but follow him. So I did.

I loved it when he picked me up at the airport. He was an hour earlier than my arrival. Speaks about the guy's excitement and enthusiam, I guess.

His nieces and nephews had a 'welcoming presentation' for me - a song and dance number - which is sooo sweet, I should say. I think he has a great family. God-centered, family-loving individuals who values relationship and God - which is very important. I applaud his parents for raising such great children, and grand- children. I really like them. I just hope they liked me too. 

Met up with his cousin, Victor and gf Daphne (who happens to be Argie's X's bff) so I was very curious and excited at the same time. We had a great dinner ar Abuhan Tres and after dinner wine session at La Vie Parisienne - and the ambiance totally nailed it. It was indeed FASCINATING!

And I remember exactly what I told Daphne why I went to Cebu - It wasn't exactly to follow Argie, but "I wanted to go back where my heart is".

If you were presented with an opportunity to do something great - to really leave a mark on the world and make a difference, would you take it? I think that most people would, I know that I certainly would. πŸ™Œ Perhaps the reason that most people don’t end up doing this is because of the personal price that needs to be paid. One thing I’ve certainly learned for myself is that if I want to be able to influence other people and things around me I first need to be able to influence myself. If I want to create change around me, I need to start with myself. I can’t take my same old self into a bright new future - I’ll only darken it. πŸ’₯ The good news is that if I put proper focus on changing myself, on growing and learning and developing my skills - my potential will be unlimited. πŸ’ͺ **** picture below is my inspiration. It's a dream come true to enter The Asian Institute of Management as a student. This happened in 2018 when I was enrolled by my prior company to an Executive Development...

Holy Week Pilgrimage 2016

We were praying and fasting and walking. I almost gave up. I asked Argie to stop several times. I thought of riding a cab instead of walking then I realized we've been walking and 8 kilometer walk is just nothing compared to what Jesus has done on the cross. Argie has been holding my hand all throughout and he has been really supportive. We our faith and continue walking. It took us 4 hrs to get there. While walking, I recalled how tough first quarter was for me and what are the things I could have done differently.  It was a realization that no matter what challenges I have encountered, I will always have to hold on and keep my faith in God, I know for sure, we will achieve our goals and I am excited for it! This season has reminded me again to be humble, forgiving,  faithful and trusting to God. Hope you were able to spend quality time with your family this holiday and you were able to find the true meaning of Lent. God bless! πŸ‘ΌπŸ˜‡πŸ™‡
