A Traveller’s Lucky Penny (All Expense Paid Cebu Vacation)

  

         For a Traveller like me, there is no better vacation than an all expense paid trip especially when you are in one of the country’s top luxurious resort which is located in the heart of Visayas and it’s called SHANGRILA MACTAN CEBU…

         As a Traveller, our number one priority besides our safety and trying to explore a place is our BUDGET… As much as possible, we should try to look for the cheapest but best itinerary a tourist could ever experience in that certain place. So we should not spend beyond our estimate expenditure. Coz’ you don’t have to disburse a lot of money just to satisfy yourself and enjoy the place. But in this case, they are exempted because they are not travellers at all and lucky for me, they just brought me along with them… :-)

         Special thanks to my wonderful Aunt Noli, Uncle Efren and my Cousins CT, Kimchi and Mikee for including me in their pampering, costly and lavish vacation… coz’ I couldn’t afford this kind of vacation, a 15,000 per room per night and it includes breakfast buffet, free shuttle to Cebu City and beach facilities.

         Here at Cebu City, It’s like you’re in Metro Manila too, because of its fast growing development, you wouldn’t see the difference between the two cities at all. What captured me in Cebu was their uniquely tasting LECHON at C&T stalls located almost anywhere in the city, it’s better than Luzon’s version. Very yummy that you tend to crave for more, it’s like shutting down your satiety center because you never get satisfied and you try to taste for more... Which is by the way, very bad for our health…

         I also visited the historical places like the Magellan’s Cross and Fort San Pedro . But the best part of the vacation is the resort itself, once you’re in Shangrila Mactan, you wouldn’t want to leave the place because the spot itself is already a top tourist destination…

My Wedding Vow

      
        I want to start by describing what I am before I met you. Before I met you, I was a person who did not know life. I don’t know how it works and I just took everything for granted. I was childish, selfish and irresponsible. I don’t have a direction or a future. My path was dark. But all of that changed when I met you… When you came, seems like all of me has changed. You never forced me to change but you influenced me into being a better person. Suddenly, I saw the big picture and realized how beautiful life is with you… Because of you, I became futuristic, thinking not about my future, but ours. This I can say that a boy now becomes a man. I am now responsible to all the things that I do like for example, staying away from temptations because I never want to see you get hurt. I know that you knew before you met me that I’m that kind of guy who is truly loyal and faithful to the person he loves. You saw in me what I did not see in myself. You saw all the good things in me as well as the negative side. But still, you accepted me whole heartedly and you loved me wholly. I’m so blessed and thankful to have you… So everyday I am really thankful to God because he gave you to me. He knows that I needed you. So each and everyday, I have entered a commitment to dearly love, protect, appreciate and give importance to you till’ the very day that my life will be taken from me but I strongly believe that even in the after life, I will still love you so much. From the moment my eyes first gazed at you I knew that you were the one that I’ve been waiting for, you are the one that I will romantically spend the rest of my life with. The truth is at first when I’m making this vow to you. I never knew what to write because there are no words to say in describing the happiness that I’m feeling right now that you are In front of me in this very very very special day. And now it seems to contradict me because I don’t know how to end my speech. Now, it seems that my lifetime is not enough for me to say all the great things that I’m feeling right now because I have you in my life. So maybe I will finish my speech but my vow will still be undying. That I will never promise because promises were made to be broken but rather I will commit to whatever comes out from my mouth… That I, Armie Lawrence Leyva Yuson, will treat ___________ as the true princess of my existence, my partner through whatever situation and my wife who truly and greatly loves me… And I would release these words of assurance that I will always remain loyal and faithful in loving you and that I would love you for the rest of my time…

My Own Little Perfect World


        Most people think, actually, a majority of them say that I have the perfect life… That I have the perfect family, perfect lifestyle and perfect in everything that I do… That every time I hear perfect, I just hear another expectation from me… And it’s so tiring living to those expectations of people around you. Not just your family members, not just your friends but those who knew the background of your family.

        Well, most of them, actually, all of them are wrong… coz’ I’m not perfect and I’m sick of hearing those faultless expectations from me… coz’ the truth is, I’m very far from being excellent, I make a lot of mistakes and failures in life, too much to say that I’m far from the description PERFECT… and right now, I’m already tired of using the word perfect in all of my sentences. But there’s one thing that I’m very proud of, I always come back big time, whenever I fall, I just climb up to another level of rock from where I fell… That’s just ME, I never give up on things. I always work hard for what I need and want in my life…

        When I was 9 years old, I realized that I have the gift of writing as well, that through my writings, I could express the exact words that I would want to say to anyone… I write poems, short stories, scripts, songs and anything that my heart wishes to shout… So now, I started writing these blogs for me to share to other people what I have learned in my experiences in life… The great lessons that I have encountered, the values that I have gained, the people that are valuable in my life, the things that we should never take for granted, the gifts that we should be thankful for like our nature and how big our faith should be to our God who gave everything to us. Maybe through my writings, I could inspire people to cherish what they already have and just make the most out of it…

        Whenever I write, it’s like I create my own little perfect world that is very far from my reality of unanswered expectations… It’s the perfect place for my escape where I can be the REAL ME… And to those of you, who are reading my blogs are very welcome to enter in my world and when you leave, hope you’ll bring something of ME with you…
