Sipalay or Sipaway?

SIPALAY
SIPAWAY



It gets on my nerves when we fight over small things, which honestly starts because of me, and much more when we couldnt agree with which place we wanna be since the coming weekend is long , having two consecutive public holidays falling on a monday & tuesday...so this is quite an opportunity for us to go and travel somewhere. We have agreed we would just go somewhere either within Cebu or the neighboring places .we initially thought of going back home to my hometown which is an island but when he kinda complained indirectly that as sson as my family would know of this plan, they would jump in on the opportunity to ride with us especially when they know that id be taking Maxi with me...so i thought, without really telling him straight to his face because he would always say he has nothing against my family doing that, i thought its better not to go back home...the other day he was thinking about just going to Negros, that he found this place on the net, Sipalay which is a paradise with all these nice beaches...so this afternoon, i tried contacting a few of my friends who hail from Negros and asked about this place, but one said yes there is a place called Sipalay, she hasnt been there but as far as she knows, its not really a beach place but she isnt so sure having no expereince being there but instead she thought it might be Sipaway that he meant and this one is an island just across San Carlos city and she has been there and the beach there is nice so far , with lotsa foreigners having a quiet time since its a very laid back place...so when i got home i told him about this, but he insisted on Sipalay like he has been there before or like he really knows the place...and here comes the rift. Its just probably how he said it, like he knows the place by heart, and i do not particulary like these things , i do not like foreigners telling me about things in my country like they know better...yes i agree i know nothing about the place but for me first hand information is still better than just knowing that or reading that somewhere..its just like how these ads make us see..in photos, the food theyre selling really looks tempting but when you finally get to go to the place to try that, you get so disappointed because the picture looks way better than the actual food served, like how these TV ads, try to trick us how delicious their products are when in reality its just so-so!...i am not saying Sipalay is not great, i havent been there, its just that i just want to know from people i know who are from there or are much more familiar than those places than just learning about it in pictures and blogs...he doesnt even notice than whenever he suggests places outside of my country, i dont make a big deal out of it, because i have no idea what he is talking about..maybe if he realizes that i never do that to him when i am in his country because i respect that it is his turf, that even though he hasnt travelled the whole continent, he still knows better than me...i only wanna know first hand info in this case,so that i can be sure the place is safe for us to go..in blogs, they would always say positive things , its part of the package of selling the place to tourists but in my opinion, it is best to know from firsthand experience...im not sure if he understands these things ...and i only also suggested the other place because we are on a tight budget, we cant splurge right now because our finances are quite on the low and we can probably stay at my friend's place in San Carlos whereas in SIpalay, i do not anyone which means we have to stay in a resort....well, he got mad with me because i kept walking out on him, from the bedroom to the kitchen and back to the room, thus he decided to just go out and leave....i do feel sorry and guilty, especially when i say things i really really do not mean to say which really really hurt him and makes him think otherwise about our relationship..what's done is done, i only wish i could turn back time and just shut myself up, just let him talk about what he wanted to say because deep inside i know he did not mean to insult or make me feel or look bad...

i am such a bad partner...i wish im not me!
