That short escape from Manila to the lovely city of Cebu made me experience a more laid back life. The day to day living there seemed more relaxed. I don’t know why.. nothing appeared different, though.
They have most of what we have here in Manila; malls (Ayala Center and SM, of course!) here and there, Starbucks coffee to your left and right, Havaianas on everyone’s feet, call centers, call center people in their jackets and shades (even if its sweating hot outside their offices), Korea shoes and bags, and there’s still a long list.. They even have traffic, as well!
They also have most of what we DON”T have here; honest cab drivers (pag P56.00 ang inabot ng meter, sister, susuklian ka talaga ng P4.00! Try mo sa Manila to.. Good luck!).
That 7-day stay in Cebu made me feel of how and what life can be when we decide to make the change. I don’t think there’d be much difference.
There’s no harm in trying..
..After all, I can always go back.
