What Was I Thinking?

As I sit here in my office, staring at the blank computer screen, I can't help but wonder what I was thinking when I decided to run for mayor of Cebu City.

It all started with a group of friends who thought it would be a good idea. They said I had the charisma, the experience, and the passion to make a difference.

And I believed them.

I spent months campaigning, knocking on doors, and shaking hands. I met thousands of people, listened to their concerns, and promised to make their lives better.

And then I won.

I remember the day I was sworn in. I stood there in front of my family, friends, and supporters, and I felt a sense of pride and accomplishment. I had finally achieved my goal.

But then the reality hit me.

Being mayor is not all it's cracked up to be. It's long hours, hard work, and constant criticism. I have to deal with everything from budget deficits to traffic jams to garbage strikes.

And the worst part is that I can't please everyone.

Some people say I'm doing a great job. They tell me that I'm making a difference in their lives. But there are also those who say I'm not doing enough. They complain that I'm not listening to them or that I'm not doing anything to solve their problems.

It's tough to hear the criticism, but I know that I can't let it get to me. I have to stay focused on my goal of making Cebu City a better place for everyone.

So what was I thinking when I decided to run for mayor? I was thinking that I could make a difference. I was thinking that I could help people. And I still believe that I can.

It's not going to be easy, but I'm determined to make Cebu City the best city it can be.

And I'm not going to give up until I get there.

I'd like to hear from you.
