C for Cebu

Hey everyone, summer's here, or is it? Summer or not I already had my little summer getaway. Though it didn't turn out the way I planned but it's still so worth it. I went to Cebu last week to bring my friend's stuff, I was sort of like the FedEx guy, only I stayed a little longer, ate the recipient's food and slept on her bed for a few nights. Haha. Did I mention that she also paid for my airfare? Lucky me! But thinking about it now, and you reading further you'll know that I'm not that lucky.

Anyway, my trip started on the wrong foot. I was certain I booked a 9PM flight to Cebu, but just a few days before my trip I found out that I booked a 4AM flight. If I didn't check it when I did I could have missed my flight and just stayed home, sulking in my room for 5 days for being utterly stupid. Anyway, I got to Cebu earlier than I've planned but it's all good. I spent my first day in Cebu in bed, sleeping. The only time I got out of bed was when I had to pee and when my friend dragged me out of bed to have dinner out. The second day I went to meet my father's brother and his family, they are all so warm, I love them! I got to meet my 2 cousins again and I got to meet their youngest for the first time. My cousin and my aunt showed me around the city. 

The third day we were supposed to head to Bantayan island. But Cebu's weather wasn't so cooperative, it rained almost everyday that I was there, except for the first day when all I did was sleep. Anyway, so my beach-y plan was cancelled. But it's still ok, I had a great time with friends from home, and from college. Also I got to meet 2 new friends: Alexa a fashion blogger from Cebu and Hadie, my brother. Seriously, he's my friend's nephew but he's like my friend's son, and that same friend was and still my 'mom' from way back in college. Do I make sense to you?

If you ask me what I really did in Cebu, there're only two words: sleep and eat. It was a getaway for the lazies, hey that's me! Well, I think most of my trips are just spent sleeping in in hotels, my family and friends can attest to that.  And you don't even have to bribe them for them to spill that. That's just my kind of vacation. But sometimes I think that I'm being so overly lazy, I spend most of my weekends sleeping and when I take a break away from work, sleeping is still what I do. 

If I had to rate my Cebu trip from 1 - 5, 5 as the highest I'd give it a 5! It was perfect the way it was. And if you ask me what I like and didn't like about Cebu, I'd say it's food and food. I like the food because it's so yummy (just the thought of it makes me drool now) and very inexpensive. And it's also the thing that I don't like about Cebu, because the food is really good and inexpensive you tend to forget about your diet and just give in to your tummy's desire. And all your hard work and discipline just go down the drain. But it's all so worth it. 


I'll see you again Cebu, soon I hope.

I'll upload the pics soon, I misplaced my data cable and card reader is busted. :-)
