I'm proud to say my little home island has come a long way from the rural farmland it used to be. Shopping malls were unheard of back then; holidays were spent at nearby rivers/beaches; and people stayed home most of the time. (Partly because there was nowhere else to go past 9pm! Say what? Boring? haha Well I guess you can call it the "simple" life.)
Now, so much has changed! Shopping malls have been sprouting everywhere in the last 10 years! (Improvement!) There's a mall in every corner city! You hafta love it! And I mean, really love it. Why? Because Cebu now has everything you need. Just five minutes away, and you arrive at the beach. Now the beach resorts are another story. One can't help but notice how much that industry has grown here.
Here's one...

This is Dean, my little cousin. Dean is obsessed with Spider Man. (If its not obvious enough.) This "submerged in water" shot of him below is only one of the 20-ish photos William took of him. Dean loves his "UNDERWATER" shots!
See?
And the outfit du jour...

My dear friend Tiny works there. I hope to visit her again soon. :)
