Living away from home and most especially in an urban an urban place made it clear to me that there is no such thing as a freebie.. Everything you want to have and do, you have to work for it..
I guess that's reality. And it sucks!
My life isn't like the way it is way back home. Here I have no computer, no t.v., free shelter, and no free food..
It's also no place to be such a couch potato...
Anyway, I'm getting the hang of it. But still, I am trying to adapt to this new way of living, especially living with friends. And hopefully trying to gain control of myself especially after and during payday, because I (or we) tend to splurge our money unwisely.
I recieved my scond pay last June 15 and unfeortunately, my money didn't last that long. My money disappeared into thin air a week before my next payday. Not to mention, my housemates also have the same situation as I do.
Last weekend was supposed to be my (or our) most boring weekend ever here in the big city because me and my housemates were penniless.. But what happened was the opposite..
Fortunately last saturday, was the last day of the French Film Festival. Me and some friends went there to see the movies because as we've heard it's for free. Haha! You've heard that right! And it was totally worth it! We've watched two films in a row. The second movie was really awesome!

YOU SHOULD WATCH THIS FILM..
THE PERFUME: A STORY OF A MURDERER
I'm sorry but I just won't talk about the details of the movie. Just watch it yourself... You won't regret it...
It was really nice being in that theater because you're people who know how to appreciate good films.. After the movie, everyone was really clapping their hands.. Anyway, it was already late when we got home... and it was raining... But it was really a new and nice experience for us..
And on sunday, still everyne was penniless.. We spent the day chatting. And as usual, we got together during brunch...
It was already late in the afternoon when we had our meal.. And during our meal, we got ourselves talking about our childhood and the games that we used to play.
After clearing the table, we found ourselves playing "sagudsud". It was really tough for us since it is played through skipping. You have to skip your way, hitting your "pamato" (a stone) all thrioughout the play area..
Well.. it was fun! We didn't only relive our childhood days but also gave ourselves an exercise..
After playing "sagudsud", we played card games.. They're "tong-its", "chiki-cha", "1-2-3-4 pass", "karga burot", and "unggoy-unggoy"..
I don't know. But it really was the best weekend I ever had here in Cebu.. It's a lot more fun than hanging out at bars.. And what's more, is it's for free!
And well, at least.. it still is reality that money can't buy happiness... *winks*
