Working in sales for almost eight years brought me into different places that i never thought i would go or sometimes places that i will stay (one year, the shortest). Back in 2013 i was assigned in Cebu, i stayed there for almost one year and two months, if you are from Manila, you won’t definitely miss the city since Cebu has everything Manila has to offer. From nightlife, restaurants and even malls. When I landed Cebu believe me, i really don’t know where will I go, I don’t have relatives nor friends there just counterparts (thats how we call our workmates). My counterpart fetched me at the airport and brought me to that not so expensive inn located at Escario street besides Bo’s coffee the Cebuview Tourist Inn, if i may remember I paid less than P1000 per night and i stayed there for 3 days before I was able to look for my permanent place to stay while I’m in Cebu. I stayed in a studio type pad located at Forest Hills, Banawa, its a subdivision near the city proper. Kuya Paul, my landlord was so generous that he offered me the pad half of its original price since i told him Im alone but planning to look for roommate to atleast save for the rent. In the first 3 months he told me that my rent would be P3000 per month but on the 4th month wether I’m alone or has a roommate the rent would be P6000 per month. At first, since my car havent been arriving yet from Manila I had hard time going out of the village, my house is like 10 minute walk from the main road but you can actually take habal-habal, a motorcycle serving as a public vehicle within the village, it’s P10 per ride. Usually habal habal drivers stay up to around 12 in the midnight, so whenever I want to go for a nightout I just text my friend habal habal driver and he will fetch me from the house and he’ll bring me to the main road so it’s P20 already. From the main road you can easily take a cab going to different bars and restaurants in the city.
