Cebu...again!

What? No entry for the whole of January? Well it's a good thing i got a chance to log in just when the month is about to close.

This is my 8th day in Cebu. I arrived last Sunday during the Sinulog festival here...honestly, I did not join the festivities as standing in the midst of a crowd watching sweaty dancers in colorful but uncomfortable and impractical costumes isn't really my thing.

And so as soon as I landed in Cebu, I went straight to EGI beach resort and spent the afternoon with good 'ol Jun Jun, the same boat owner that paddled our way to the midst of the ocean during my last visit. He stayed with me for an hour of swimming. After my swim, i went to mass and spent a relaxing night on the net, chatting with Baby, Filip and Mond all at the same time.

The rest of the week that followed was work work work. This is by far the most draining training i've had. I have 6 trainees, and since I am short by three days, we almost always stay until six. Not to far off the real end of office hour which is at 5:30 but really, i don't do 5:30 you see. I believe I should shut down at four. Anyway, I have a good group with me so it's ok.

With the hospitality of some friends, Marga, Sobee and Agnes I also got a chance to roam around some gimmik places in the city spending time chatting, eating out and hanging out. I went to the malls (SM and Ayala), TOPS, Larshan ( i dont know if that is the spelling though, its a place for bbqs)and other gimmik places. But most nights, I would just hang out in my room alone enjoying the silence of autonomy cum complimentary solitude. hehe...

Yesterday, i went to a beach resort with my new found friends... Vince, Derek, Ian and Harold - all friends of Marga. Super easy mag beach dito. all you need is 30 mins drive to the beach, and 50 pesos and you are off! But well, my new friends weren't really as careless as me and so they did prepare the bbq, bought drinks and "puso" for dinner. We also spent quite a time singing... mga addict!

My Cebu adventure is nearly over...and given I will only have one more working day ahead... I'd have to say, I am so ready to sign off and move on...

Here I come Davao!
