my new world in cebu.

its now my 39th day here in Cebu…everyday has been such a miracle, a blessing, and a fun day.

i was scared moving out from home even if i know that a 2-star hotel lifestyle awaits me. i was scared of leaving my family even if i know that this will give me more chance of seeing my dad, and my cousins.  i was scared of leaving my friends even i know that i will gain more friends here… i was scared of facing independence even if i know that i will sweetly surivive it.

now that ive been here for more than a month, i cannot run of out things to say why i love being in Cebu… yeah the fact remains that im homesick at most times, i miss my family and friends, but i cannot say that i miss my life in Manila.. oh no no no.. Cebu life is just a lot, lot better.

I've met the nicest people here, not to mention those who are so lambing just like me. hahaha… ive been to the yummiest and CHEAPEST food places in town! my goodness! i have to take jogging and badminton seriously just to get away from the guilt…. of pigging out but of course, i am never successful! how could i, when i got friends here who are just but excited to show us the beyuti of Cebu! I still have my usual nightlife, i go clubbing, and mind you, its way cheaper, and funner! PLUS more chances of meeting cutsie pies…. pero hanggang cute lang talaga… either theyre too young, taken, or theyre freaking gay. no offense. 

Of course its not all colorful, i've had my saddest moments here too.. just few weeks back, i found myself, heartbroken… oh well, what do you do when u get urself heartbroken??? you wallow in tears, you cry like there's no tomorrow, you curse like you own the world, then you pray, pray a lot, forgive, and move on… where am i now?  — i am doing it ALL at the same time.  but not so successful yet..

Wondering why I am having the time of my life? — Here's why:

1. Best restos.  Baby back ribs, half slab P129 each, eat-all-you-can oysters and more P159 each, dimsum at P41 per serving (a generous one!), baked scallops, P90 per serving, larsians! the coliseum wide bbq place… the cheapest ever!  pocha talaga!  waaahhh..! everything else in damn cheap.

2. Clubbing. no entrance or just 150 — take ur pick.  drinks — beers at 4-4-110 only. its P180 by the pitcher of daiquiri… or 200 for wengweng. youre sure to get drunk.  Rhumcoke? buy a bottle and keep it if you don't finish it. tanduay at 125 each — then have a bottle keeper drama, get famous for getting alcoholic!   Go visit the Loft — my favorite place, vudu, and for the ultimate pang-masa dance the night away saga — go to paseo.

3. BEACHES!! i just spent my weekend in bantayan. I so fucking love it! heaven heaven heaven! Spent just 2K for a sultan-living overnight cheap eh? the beaches here are just 30-45 mins away… that's even quicker than my betterliving-makati route!!! there's 500 buffet for a day trip… there's P2000 for a plantation bay day trip…. cmon, what else can be better than that?/?!

4. OUTPOST — if you are one helluva music lover, you have to see this place.  An old spanish house converted to a resto… PLUS there are talented cebuano musicians who will make the evening so much better! saw Pandora — damn, i love this band, plus all the other bands who made my weekends so much crazier.  I've witnessed ska, reggae, rock, and a lil of everything… No entrance fee, just eat and get un-sober.

5. MALLS — uncrowded, with lots of on-going sale.  Shops that we don't have in Manila. i just got more-crazy with the shopping… (hence the poverty hahahhaa) —

I can go on but i hafta end this coz its a holiday and im online — how sick..   im leaving now and enjoy larsian's dinner with my friendly friends… kurant and rumcoke later…. (huh? we have work tom??/!?) WHAT? harhar. (who caresy cares) -

I am now struggling between staying for good or leaving Cebu.  I really dunno where to go, but for the time being, i am enjoying it to the fullest.

i was scared, but i got braver. i was scared but i got wiser. i was scared but i got happier. 

Happy monday!
