My Second (and Definitely Less Depressing) Christmas in Cebu
I vividly remember the first time I spent Christmas away from home and in Cebu. I just finished taking a call (I was still working as CSR that time) when the clock struck twelve, and I cried like crazy! My good friend Bryan got teary eyed too, thanks to me. I decided to leave work early, went home, and continued to cry.
This year, however, was totally different. Thanks to Rej and Shiela, Christmas was definitely happier this time around!
I began Christmas Eve by having coffee with Rej at Seattle’s Best. It was actually my first time to go to Seattle’s in Cebu. I love the Christmas drink that I had! (I don’t remember the name, unfortunately.)
A little word of advice: if you’re in Cebu on the twenty-fourth of December, have an early dinner! A lot of establishments were closed, and the few that were open closed at 8:00 p.m.! IT Park was a ghost town! Good thing Linea was open till nine. We love their food there. Linea saved us from what was supposed to be a Jollibee noche buena.
After dinner, we went to Mango to have a few drinks. It was kinda deserted at first, but later that night, more people arrived (mostly Koreans)!
Met up with Shiela and Rej the next day and had Christmas dinner at Bistro (or Patio) Ecila!
Then off we went to Coffee Cat. We had Yogurt, as usual. Thanks Rej!
Rej was amazed by the fact that his name wasn’t handwritten on the drink. Actually, I was amazed too. Beat that, Starbucks. Haha.
Overall, I really had fun this Christmas. See, independent living isn’t so bad after all, as long as you have true (and also independent) friends with you!
