I will be sharing you my last week's work employment progress..
Cebu bound..
I traveled to Cebu last January 22 and booked a ticket with Lite Ferry since it’s more affordable compared to OceanJet. OceanJet takes only 2 hours, while Lite Ferry takes 4 hours. If you’re in a hurry, it’s better to go for the pricier option!
This photo was taken a week before January 22. The bridge feels like a symbolic connection between dreams and success.
It features a clean and organized setup with rows of double-deck bunk beds on one side, offering passengers a comfortable place to rest during the journey.
The photo shows the interior of a Lite Ferry vessel. On the opposite side, there are blue bench-style dining tables with white tabletops for seating and eating. The floor is painted green, and the space is well-lit with fluorescent lights. A television is visible in the background, providing some entertainment. The spacious and neatly arranged layout creates a relaxing environment for travelers.
As we boarded the Lite Ferry vessel, I couldn’t help but admire the serene view of the ship docked against the calm waters. The clear skies and soft morning light created the perfect backdrop for this moment.
Lite Ferries offers an affordable and peaceful way to travel between islands, and this photo perfectly captures the start of another memorable journey. Whether you're traveling for work or leisure, there's something relaxing about being by the sea and enjoying the slower pace.

Arrived Safely..
Living on my own here in Cebu is quite challenging, but I'm truly grateful to my friend for supporting me while I'm away from my family.
Living and working here at Cebu I.T. Park has been quite an experience.
The place is vibrant and full of energy, surrounded by modern buildings and bustling streets. It’s amazing to be part of such a dynamic environment, even though being away from my family can be tough. Grateful for this journey and the opportunities that come with it!
Dropped by the clinic today to continue my medical exams as part of the employment process.
It’s all part of the journey, and I’m one step closer to achieving my goals. Grateful for the opportunities ahead!
Passed by this beautifully painted bridge on my way to the City Hall to get a community tax certificate (cedula).
It's a small but necessary step as I continue sorting out my requirements. Grateful for every progress!
Going to the City Hall..
I made the decision to go to city hall to pick up my cedula on a sunny morning.
Although it only took fifteen minutes to walk from my boarding house to the city hall, the trip was lively and full of life. Tricycles and motorbikes were speeding by, vendors set up their booths, and pedestrians were navigating the constant flow of traffic. A combination of sounds, conversation, and the subtle scent of street food being prepared nearby filled the air.
I entered the city hall and was immediately struck by the grand yet welcoming atmosphere; the high ceilings, where an elegant chandelier hung, instantly attracted my attention.
The walls featured a vibrant mural that celebrated the city's rich history and landmarks; the official seal of the city was prominently displayed on the polished floor, adding a sense of formality to the space; displays about sister cities, local accomplishments, and partnerships surrounded the central area, framed by lush greenery and flowers carefully arranged to add warmth and life; the exhibits were surrounded by red and white ribbons, giving the place a ceremonial feel.
Reward after a tiring day.
It was around 5 PM when I finally finished getting my cedula. By then, it was definitely time to recharge and regain my strength.
I need to be mindful of my spending because almost everything here in Cebu comes with a cost—food, water, electricity, transportation, personal hygiene, and more. It's important to carefully manage my expenses.
Conclusion:
Looking back on everything I've accomplished so far in Cebu, from adjusting to a new environment to completing tasks like getting my cedula, I realize how much determination and perseverance it has taken. Each step has required strength and focus, whether it's managing expenses, navigating daily challenges, or simply pushing forward despite the difficulties. These experiences have shown me that achieving even the smallest goals requires resilience and a firm commitment to keep going, no matter what.
