BORACAY.
April 8-11, 2006.
-----------------
April 8
8.00a: Departure from Manila Domestic Airport via Asian Spirit Flight#
-Kelangan pala ng ID! 2 lang sa amin may valid id! un sa cuzn ko si Aaron, grade4 ID pa nya un dala nya! kaloka! buti na lang d strict un guard. hahah.
tinanong lang ako kung ilan kme...
8.55a: Arrival at Caticlan Airport.
-My first thoughts: "WHOA. Airport ba to??? Parang parking lot lang..."
-Tricyle ride to Caticlan Jetty Port Terminal, more fondly called as "Jetty Port"
-Waited for like half an our before we could board a ferry...
9.30a: Landed at Station 1
-Saw millions of green things on the shoreline which i initially thought were algae which turned out to be only seaweed (and lumot, apparently)
-The long journey to the non-beach front hotel and check in.
Lost track of time:
-Lunch at Jonah's milkshake. Seafood pasta. with yummpy pizza... and yummy fruitshake.
-Saw "Diditgurl"... yun distant relative ng mom ko.. SAG! (i'm so mean!) apparently she was chaperoning 20 graduating Povedans, along with another mom.
5.00p: Went sailing. this is the most peaceful thing ever; uber-salty water getting in your eyes aside. didn't get to see the sunset coz it was cloudy.
6.00p: Short dip at the water
6.30p: Went back to the hotel for a quick shower.
8.30p or was it 9.00p?: Headed out for dinner.
-Yeah. it took us that long. mind you. there were six of us sharing a single bathroom. five girls and one guy. wawa namn cousin ko. hahah...
-rained pretty hard. there goes our plans of partying... actually, pwede pa sana, kaya lang napagod kme since the day was busy with traveling and stuf..
April 9:
around 9a: Woke up early, had P59 Tapsilog breakfast at d*mall, walked around.
2.00p: island hopping.
-sight seeing and picture taking at crystal cave.
-took home small bits of loose crystals.
-snorkeling at Crocodile Island. I don't know how to swim. I've never been in "open water" before with a life vest.
-too bad we didn't get to go to puka beach anymore...
8.00p: dinner at jony's
-food aint so great but loved the ambiance. may beanbags, may tiki torches, may acoustic music (ang ganda ng voice nung singer, also fondly known as "Curly"; kaboses nya si Tracy Chapman! The catch: Curly's a guy. Tracy's not)
-Curly was singing songs i really loved. so nag request namn ako ng Sound of Silence by Simon and Garfunkel and With or Without You by U2. Wah. ang galing.
-keep on drinking. finally. alam ko na anong lasa ng san mig light. d ko type. yuk. guess i'm a vodka girl. haha. had single raspberry vodka (on the rocks) and kahlua+baileys+rhum (screwdriver ata tawag dun...) yum...
lost track of time: dancing at paraw.
-met up with joan and reinelle at club paraw. hiphop music. shempre. my humps ang tugtog
-what's a night out without people trying to dance with/get to know you:
-creepy older guy said "HI" ... i said "OOOKAY" and we all laughed.
-creepy driver-slash-cargador type guys trying to dance with us. one of them was like: miss pwedeng makisayaw? i said: HINDI! tpos ang kulit. "bakit hindi?" we propmptly moved to another spot at the dance floor.
-but we weren't safe for long. this creepy foreigner guy who looked like he was still in high school started dancing with us. we laughed and moved away...
-then. i'm not sure if it's the same creepy driver-slash-cargador type guys again still insisting to dance with us... we kept moving away...
-and in our attempt to run away from the cargador-slash-driver guys, i noticed this cute guy at the bar... i think we briefly had eye contact but the creepy guys were still on the prowl...
-we finally moved away from the club and towards the police guys by the shoreline... then a bald-ish guy went over to us and wanted to know why we were hanging out there, when the party was way over there. but rein's "friend" arrived and the guy moved away...
-then two kinda drunk guys approached us again and introduced themselves... "we're not drunk, blah blah blah..." they weren't so creepy since they were from csb pala. id#102! pero d pa grad...
-TAPOS. si cute guy. wah. biglang anjan na sa harap ko. nagpapakilala na. PERO. biglang mag-c-cr un mga kasama ko. waaaah.... jericho ata name nya eh... di ko akalain na friends sila nung csb guys....basta sha lang un naalala kong name. at si dan<-- kilala daw nya si ziggy....
still don;t know what time: cocomangas.
-hung out lang. kya lang closed na un bar nila. hahha...
mag-t-treat pa nmn si val (some ua&p guy na friend ni rein)kasi last night na nya sa boracay... so bumalik kami sa paraw...
-shempre andun pa un mga csb guys and cute guy... nag-offer to buy us drinks. i dunno why i decline. hiya ako. haha. pero tatalikod na lang ako para kausapin sila, nde ko pa magawa... yun. nawala na tuloy...
-had a shot glass full of mango margarita and a glass of orange vodka. still nothing happened.
-went back to cocomangas and saw the "moonset" since the sunrise was on the other side of the island...
6.30a: went home and slept.
April 10:
1.00p: woke up
-had brunch at hotel, pero naunahan na kme ng mga langgam... we salvaged what we could...
-kaya nmn pala walang nangyari sa kakainom ko nung gabi... eh na-a-allergy attack na pla ako... dami ko red spots na makati talaga... had to rush to the drug store to buy anti-itch cream.
3.00p: lakad lakad pabalik sa station 1 bars.
