Why Dumaguete?

There must be some inexplicable karmic reason why I am now in Dumaguete. I know that I never dreamed or even wished to live here at all in the first place. I had only been here once in my life and I stayed in a house which was on a street that led directly to Silliman University. Then, there only pedicabs to bring you to different places and it seemed such a pity that peopele have to earn their living in such a manner. I am glad those days are gone and motorcycles have replaced human legs as the motive power of these cabs. That house where I stayed for two weeks is situated beside the house where I lived for two years, this time when I found myself being counted as one of Dumaguete's residents.

It is no wonder that I call all of these things karma. I do not know anybody here and I just sit in front of my computer and live online. While this has resulted in me losing most of my physical activities, I have gained a lot in cyber activities. I discovered blogs and websites and stuff like that. This is hardly an ideal way to live. Everyone needs exercise but I am not so inclined to get my exercise by moving my arms and legs repeatedly. I prefer to walk and I could do that but where would I go? The streets are so narrow and there is the constant danger of being hit by a motorcycle.
