Living in the south has its pros and cons but what I really love about staying here is the accessible beach and the quaint atmosphere of our neighborhood. Sometimes though, the peacefulness of the place gets on my nerves. Its a good thing I can easily pack up my bags and head for Cebu where I get a doze of my college city life.
After I graduated from college I vowed never to have a hectic always on the go life. I juggled a job, a scholarship and my studies back then. My day started at 5 am and ended at 2 or 3 am the next day. But now that I've had a doze of slack sit back type of life, I realize I didn't want this after all. My latest trip to Cebu made me realize it more.
My friend got married and I was there for 5 days. I shopped non-stop and was out every night till 4 am. Just after my friend's wedding for instance, we (less the one who got married) headed for SM's North Wing to do a little shopping. [I already shopped the previous day for a dress and a two piece swim suit]. Can't remember the last time I had fun shopping. We tried on at least a dozen outfits and we'd take pictures in the fitting room. We got weird and angry looks from the sales ladies but they kept mum about it. Our looks showed we had the moolah to buy the things we tried on. [ Okay, I may be bragging a bit here but we actually had the moolah! wahahaha! I can be mean sometimes] Anyway, we headed for harbor city to eat. Then, we hit the grocery to buy junk food and the ingredients for our low-cal cocktails. We were going night swimming after.
We've changed much since college. I guess this is what happens when we earn our own money. We don't ride the jeepney anymore; we took the cab. By 9 pm we were on a cab on the way to Tubod-one of our favorite hang outs when we were in college. It was a resort located south of Cebu, about 2 towns from the City. When we arrived we immediately changed into our swim suits and took pictures. Good thing the guys weren't with us [its was a pure girl's night out] coz we spent a full hour taking pictures.
We noticed the resort had changed the lights. The last time we were there, the lights were hydrogen bulbs which automatically turned off when it was too hot. It was an advantage for gals who had their bfs with them. But not for me though, he rarely went to visit me in Cebu. Anyway, we lost track of time and by the time any of us noticed, it was 2 am! It was scary to be out at that time in that part of Cebu. It took us a scary [heart-pounding] jeepney ride to the next town where there was plenty of taxi. Some drunk snatcher looking guy was beside me and I spent the entire time waiting for him to say "hold up!". Good thing it did't happen. We had the taxi wait when we got to Mynet's place. The meter was at 300 when we got off the taxi so we hurriedly hanged our dripping wet swim suits.
As if the brandy we drank at Tubod wasn't enough, we had 3 or 4 bottles of Red Horse at the bar we went to. The lead guitarist was cute; he gave me the look when we got in. But he looked like he was about to fall on his feet himself so I ignored him. Mynet nudged my elbow though giving me the look that reminded me we were on a girl's night out and that I should have some fun. Anyway, enough about the boy thing coz nothing really happened. We were "bitin" on the drinks coz the bar closed an hour after we got in. So we scouted the area for another bar, this time we were looking for a karaoke bar. We did pass by a disco bar [we were in uptown and it was "bar capital"] but I was already tipsy so I suggested we looked for a karaoke bar as planned. Unfortunately, we didn't find one so we took a cab back to Mynet's place. We all squeezed into her bed; I dunno how we fit on the bed but we did. I was too drunk to notice. All I know was that my feet were dangling on the bed's headboard. lol!
I've been planning to move back to Cebu, he approves of it and maybe we'd spend a couple of months there before finally moving to Manila. Hope things work this time, I'm really looking forward to getting my old life back and being with him for good.
This one was taken by my mom at Kenny's. [Bare of all make-up essentials]
The sun sets on Manila. Taken from the International Airport
Taken a few minutes later
Me in need of a chair and a back massage!
Me and my mom. Caught off guard?
Taken at Greenbelt 3, in front of Havana. Together at last?
Another pose? Maybe not.
Got a new digicam- Olympus u760 All Weather. Didn't know which setting works best at night so I tried them all. Can't remember which setting this one was taken on. The lights got messy but we decided to keep the pic anyway. Aura daw niya e.
