culture vulture

today, i devoured the breathtaking sepia photographs collated by the local government showcasing the old beautiful mansions from the negros occidental province. til now, i am still taken by the fact that i actually relocated to a city that is a stranger to me..i know that cebu (or davao) would be forever love, and how i would always and always say that i fell in love those two cities because there are soooo many people who mattered there, but, piayaland(or bak-kow-lod as the people from edmonton or ottawa would say) gives a sense of odd comfy-ness & a sense of accomplishment & a goal to not sway me into a listless disarray.. back to the mansions.. if i could only rip those photographs.. they are all too pretty for words.. and if you take a look at the culture of the bon ton(s?) of this city from the old world.. grabeh the civility and the taste for good life.. how ostentatious and excessive everything is about them.. kaya nga, one guy i met some time ago told me that he left the city cuz he wanted to see wut is out there in cebu, i'm like, well everyone here, masking those with money are acting like common tao, altho it's a city that's magarbo, if you come to think of it, and they really party, but, that's it.. and it's not like you would find pretentious ppl cuz wala jud & nothing impresses me here anymore..i mean, everyone is working, so everyone is almost like me.. walang hacienda.. and walang utang sa banko.. he was like, well, yeah, that's why back in my city, people would go to so many socials in a week tas they drive BMW or nice cars, but, their homes are in multiple mortgages..

well, now, aside from the house of a don with a beachfront, that got ruined by the reclaimation(spellcheck) in the 70's- that broke my heart and answered my question why don't they have good beaches here.. umm, this city shows poverty too much..kalain ang thought that you cannot do anything cuz all that you can feel is a common helpless guilt that everyone your age(or of yer stature)could feel..

i got me a coverall from bayo.. on sale.. ha! i was too depressed today cuz i talked to joey & fifay & they were like on the way to bantayan and i missed them cuz i went there a coupla days earlier..i was almost tearful while the two of them are in the happiest of disposition & steph informed me that she loves me less and nicco might not know me na raw..

i told her i have a 20k goal- full month of 13th month pay by year-end.. she said forget the goal and i shouldn't go dating guys like clement cuz he is engaged.. am like, steff i did not exactly take a notus of his life back in etel.. and it slipped me that he is bound to marry someone he had a daughter with..like everything else slips me when am in like..oh well..

joey told me that kenji had some guy kulata.. am like ako baby na pagumangkon nangulata and later realised kenji-dad, not kenji-baby diay.. haha.. okay, i have a talented brother in law who can draw or you can commission/hire him to paint.. if you've a restaurant or a shop opening in cebu or bacolod you can PM me or leave a comment, i'll give you his number and he can show his works. mostly are morbid black & white ink pieces, but, you can request that he draw flowers and happy things cuz he can.. after all he is a dad now. :) enuf plugging. :)

i've been materially blessed this year, masking i end up broke and i don't feel like as milyonarya like i felt in etel, na feeling ko every week payday.. but,God had been thoroughly graceful and blessings came in simple abundance..makes me think that the lack that i have is this small as compared to what i have that is this big.

i want at least four millefleur dresses, happy, bold, bright, thousand flowers.. that would just hit below my wobbley-scarred knees..
