Dance With Me?

This is a post from one of the blogs I regularly read. I was planning to write somehting of this sort but when I read this, I thought it said whatever I wanna say, perfectly. So read on...

Dance With Me?

They say it takes two to tango, three to tangle. (ed.)

Okay, okay, I digress. Take two.

They say it takes two to tango. But for the longest time I can’t seem to find a right dance partner for me. Every time I get dragged onto the dance floor by what turns out to be an inappropriate dance partner, I just end up getting my feet—and heart—trampled over. No wonder I enjoy dancing solo on the ledge, away from it all.

So now I’m wondering: maybe it is not so much finding the One, your perfect dance partner. Maybe everyone’s a worthy dance partner in his or her own right; it’s just that some will jive better with you more than others. To the former you stay with them longer; to the latter, you politely go through the proper steps before twirling gracefully away.

Maybe life is just one big ballroom and everyone gets to try out different partners from time to time. Some are lucky to find a partner whom they want to stick it out with them to the end. Others get bored with just one partner. Still others end up going from one dancer to the next, always looking and never stopping.

Meanwhile I’m still here dancing solo and saying to myself, “Hey, this isn’t so bad. At least the music is kick-ass.”

Sup Call No More

Sometimes we ignore others silent cry for help. It could be because we are too busy minding our own lives, waiting for things to happen. I am very much guilty of this.

He was my former agent. We worked together for a couple of months. He became one of my yosi-buddies. We became friends.

Having someone close die makes us realizes of our own mortality. Life is indeed short for some.

For Team Doug - I know this is a very painful time in your lives - and I can relate to the sadness. The shock will subside, the pain will recede but the memories should remain. We should never forget him.

In his own way, he made our lives happier, more meaningful. He used to tell me that he loves being in Escalations only because you can always tell our customers the truth. No sugarcoating. He would ask me for smoke breaks when he gets to be very emotional about his calls.

To Butch - we will miss you.

There's no Sup Calls in heaven.

Lift Me Up

This is my new favorite song.... I have yet to download this though...

Lift Me Up

Geri Halliwell

Watch the first light Kiss the new world It's a wonder, baby like you and I All the colours of the rainbow Going somewhere, baby like you and I  It's gonna be alright But when my sky clouds over  (Lift me up) when the day is over (Take me up) when the sun is going down (Show me love) and I'll be your angel now (Lift me up) when the lights are fading (Talk me down) when I'm flying way up high (Show me love) and I'll be your angel for life Your angel for life  Like the seasons ever changing Everlasting baby like you and I It's gonna be alright But when my sky clouds over  CHORUS  No matter where we run Who knows what we will become Is there a world we know Where life will naturally  CHORUS

Life..... or someone like it.

I remember how I used to complain about not having a life at all.

I just realized that life is something that you have make. It does not come to you and say.... "Hey... you need to have a life." You have to create it.

I am trying to create a life.... and I am loving every moment of it :)

Oh Cebu!

(This is a re-post of blog I wrote two years ago. I'm paying tribute to this city that adopted me and celebrating it's Charter Day).

Whoever said that Manila has it all has definitely not been to Cebu.

I mean, I have lived here for the last nine months and I am almost loving every bit of it. And why not? We (as in Cebuanos, feeling!) have the best beaches, good food, great night life, most sacred of history and best of all --- nice and gorgeous people.

There is no other place in the world that you can be go from a bustling and booming metropolis to the most serene of beaches in under two hours? Only in Cebu! You can go to Bohol, Ilo-ilo, Bacolod,Siquijor in just matter of hours!

Here, you can do things to your heart's content. Cebu has it all. If you're like me that loves to see places, this is the perfect spot for you. You like going to the beach, easy. You can go scuba diving, snorkelling and para-sailing, if your the adventurous type. How about going to the malls, visiting historical places (like the Mactan Shrine and Colon, the first street in the Philippines, be careful though when going there, you've been to Divisoria)?

Cebu is also less crowded and polluted than Manila. You can still breath clean air without the fear of developing asthma after two hours. Here, the population is much, much lesser compared to Manila (except during Sinulog, then you need to ask yourself, "Where are all this people coming from??).

Going out on a weekend? Though I rarely to this because of the nature of my job, I can say that Cebu brings its own flavor into the the Saturday night party scene. Though compared to Manila, here, it is a lot tamer. But still the same, if your purpose is to get wasted, have fun and meet fab-o-lous people.

Speaking of....

Cebuanos has a certain kind of charm. I dunno, maybe it's the way they speak. Or maybe the fact that (my observation) they make an effort to be really different from the Manilenyos. I mean, they always try to put a local touch in everything they do. They have the sweetest smile that can capture your heart (like me!).

I have meet a lot of wonderful people staying here and I must admit that like many others, I was smitten by what Cebu and the Cebuanos has to offer.
I'm sounding more of a spokesperson for Cebu tourism, I think I should get paid for this, really!

But what is the real reason why I am in love with Cebu so much? I dunno. Maybe because they have accepted me as one of their own (did they?), or maybe because I tried to find a refuge and they gave me one. Or maybe, just because maybe, I'm head-over-heels in-love with a true-(and hot)-bloodied Cebuano?
