If you see this post, which I am making during a wet, 7degC Shanghai weekend morning, it means I’ve successfully switched webhosts. A few things on this blog may not work at this time.

I’m not in the Philippines right now, as I’ve started new employment this week where I used to work 5 years ago. Cold weather is cold here, though its supposed to be springtime already.

There’s something about ‘being hip’ that doesn’t sit well with me. Sure, I sometimes file myself under the ‘cooler-than-thou’ category, but I always allow myself to deviate, and embrace what most of these young Tumblr folk go gaga over. Most especially if they come in very sexy packages.

Once I let friends in on my plan, they suggested I take the ferry to Bohol. Sure, I thought to myself, not a bad idea, since I haven’t been to either place.
Oh, and why Cebu? The photo below takes a good chunk of that decision:
