I realised I never blogged abt Cebu yet.. (^_^)
Cebu.. the place deprived of credit its dued. More than just for its beautiful beaches...clear waters.. popular hotspots for diving and snorkelling, I'm giving credit to her beautiul people.
Thou not a fast paced, 1st world city like Singapore.. its beautiful and unique in her own way. Living among the simple and easily satified people teaches you a thing or two..hmm..maybe more :)
I went there, not for a holiday.. not for a stay at shrangrila.. but for a mission trip. This trip is my 2nd time i've been there.. and its amazing how new each experience still is. Longer than any other mission trip to Cebu (I think), this trip stretched for 9 days! 9 very, very rewarding days.
Just to do a breif recount of the more memorable events:
- Vistation of a dumpsite. To their church and to see how they work and how they live. They are scavanges (apparently, I dun know how it works out, but thats an occupation)If you cant take the smell of an ordinary rubbish truck in SG goin by.. you really SHOULD go there ^^. It was an honour really. no outsiders were allowed in before and even their own people needed ID tags to get it.
-Dancing on dead old corals. Why? cos thats where people live! It was amazing.. 1 rock per person ^^
-The highligh of every Cebu trip..Teen Challenge open house! Which is basically bringing street kids back.. playing with them... bathing them.. feeding them.. taking a nap with with them... and finding how how rewarding the whole experience can be. Most of them have been through more than their fair share of burdens.. of pains.. and for them to trust me enough to sleep on me.. .... =p
-Hiking up the hills to visit the people in a village! I feel so clumsy sliding around the path cut out from the side of the hill in comaprision to the native people! ^^ ah-ha..and Karaoke session with the people. Who said Christians are stuffy old religions people! Somebody was belting out Tarzan and Jane! haha... I was so amused.. but i would never wanna sing the song ' Deliah' again. I never knew it was such a morbid song..>.<
With Cebu, I take away happy memories that I never want to forget..and i take it all the way to Aussie~ Happy people that I'll always remember. To have little and yet be so satisfied... sometimes... u envy them. What is satisfaction? To most Singaporeans.. they might never get to that level of satisfaction cos society teaches you that its not enough.. but you know.. there's always gonna be someone richer and more successful than you.. so give it up. Enjoy life while you can.. embrace life ^^
