I went how to Samar over the weekend to see my parents, siblings and realtives.  It was a bit of an effort going there for you will have to ride a ferry for 2 hours the ride a bus for 4 hours just to get to my hometown.  A lot has changed over the year that I was there.  I guess that was what becoming a city is about.  But going there was definitely worth it for I get to see how my love ones are doing and I also get some time off thinking about how and where will I get my meal for the day and how high the prices are these days for I just gave the money to my mom and let her buy whatever she wants to prepare for lunch and dinner.  Not seeing how much I spent on a pack of pasta or whatever sort of lowered my stress level.  You see when I am here in Cebu, I would usually go to shops with promotional products (meaning they sell products with discounts or products with freebies) when I go shoppping.  Why?  To save money of course.  Call me cheap but I guess that’s just how you would feel when you spend hard earned money.
