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".

200 Pesos

I remember Mike, talking in front of 100 people, a couple of years ago, started off his seminar by holding up a Php200 bill. In the room he asked. "Who would like this Php200 bill?" Hands started going up. Of course, I raised mine. He said, "I am going to give this Php200 bill to one of you" Then crumpled the 200 bill. I was surprised he did that. He then asked. "Who still wants it?" Still the hands were up in the air and again, I raised mine. "Well," he replied, "what if I do this?" He dropped it on the ground and started to grind it into the floor with his black shoe. He picked it up, now crumpled and dirty. "Now, who still wants it?" Still the hands went into the air and still, I wanted to get the Php200 bill. "Folks, you have all learned a very valuable lesson. No matter what I did to the money, you still wanted it because it did not decrease it's value. It was still worth Php200. Many times in our lives, we ...

Be Grateful

Maybe God wants us to meet a few wrong people before meeting the right one so that when we finally meet the right person, we will know how to be grateful for that gift. When the door of happiness closes, another opens, but often times we look so long at the closed door that we don't see the one which has been opened for us. The best kind of friend is the kind you can sit on a porch and swing with, never say a word, and then walk away feeling like it was the best conversation you've ever had. It's true that we don't know what we've got until we lose it, but it's also true that we don't know what we've been missing until it arrives. Don't go for looks; they can deceive. Don't go for wealth; even that fades away. Go for someone who makes you smile because it takes only a smile to make a dark day seem bright. Find the one that makes your heart smile. May you have enough happiness to make you sweet, enough trails to make you strong, enough sorrow to k...
