back in Cebu after 5 years 11//6/2022

I haven't been back here for at least 5 years and I use to come back for about a month and a half every year as I've been doing continuously over the last couple decades period. My son and I have been living in bali for about 2.5 years now  and attempting to learn the Bahasa language. I know tagalog,  dialects of Waray-Waray and of course Cebuano where I am now. What I'm saying this should be relatively easy,  but I am famous for my optimism and suit up for more than my 3-hour tour packing down the remnants of a former life. But my Balinese seems to be prevalent too many times and they have no idea what language I'm speaking? That seems to be a bit awkward❓

 Speaking of "awkward", I have a dinner business   at a Japanese restaurant that only had tuna, sitting with my ex partner and it's not hugging, kisses and reminiscing as I listen to the lies and the sham of excuses which are blatantly obvious.  I'm somewhat aware and have been for years that the money has been going into his pockets and the company was strongly  hemorrhaging, contemplating suicide so I just stopped it last year and turned off the tap of money. Be it may I'm here for the last of my items and I'll deal with that later with lawyers, possibly the only way to redeem myself. 

Undoubtedly more trusting, younger and naive then I am now I take my share of responsibility but not total . Wanting to end this misery~ my shame is absolute in history with this. Be it as it may I'm confident I'm not the only one that ever made a mistake  lesson learned ~and onward we go

The prices have dramatically increased here in the philippines unlike Bali which had its pandemic price &  local price~ in other words extremely incredibly affordable still if one knows where the look. Philippines didn't seem to learn the lesson again and didn't bring tourism a healthy serving, this of course hurts the locals and businesses well. 

I enjoy the food here and in Cebu it is worldly known for its exceptional  roasted pig " Lechon Baboy" slowly over fire marinated usually in 7up to give it that crackling skin. I love eating this, not that I'm going to marry or that I have a tattoo? There is all kinds of other gastronomy but I may not have time to visit? 

I need a little bit of tragedy perhaps to remind me of the beauty, the sweet and sour of life. I am grateful for just about everything and to have my beautiful life~  so whereas I attempt not to complain and breakout that perpetual small violin I give my thanks to my life as I have so much more then I need &  I need no blessings, and I'm counting mine. My son- my girlfriend and I are healthy. .. 

And so there it is just want to shower you with my travel thoughts
