A friend is someone who listens and cares, a friend is someone who's always there. A friend brings happiness that can warm and mend. I'm glad that I can call you a friend. A lot of people have entered my life, but one thing remains true... I've never met a single soul who has touched my heart like you. Thank you for being a friend.


I`m all over.
You are my biggest pet peeve. :)

  • Summer Escapade sa Bora na Binagyo


  • Though I know this posting is already late but it's better to be late than never. Weheehee. Well, here it goes...

    It was around 2:00 pm, May 17, 2008 when we started our road trip from Roxas City-Aklan. It was approximately 2hrs and a half of a very tiring and pain in the butt (literally) trip. I was with my bff's Jvee (wearing green in the pic) and Aileen (center). When we arrived in Aklan the rain started to ruin the summer outing that we are imagining since mid of April. So then we started another 2hrs of road trip from Aklan-Caticlan. It was raining cats and dogs. I was all awake but my friends are so tulo laway (sorry I can't find any adjective to replace it) sa pagtulog. (grrrrrr...) I can't fall asleep, maybe because of excitement of seeing Bora for the first time. After a couple of hours we finally arrived at Caticlan. We ride in a boat (which is not that safe, I think because it's small) and the waves are not that huge yet. My friend Aileen said "grabe naman bagyo pala, kahit bagyo basta makita ko yung Bora" at napansin na alng namin yung mga tao eh, nakatingin lahat sa amin (see? that's how powerful tagalog language is, mapapalingon ka).

    After 30 minutes we arrived in Bora, the place was quite okay. " Ah so eto yung Bora? " i asked myself. As I gazed at the island,I found nothing extra special about it, just another ordinary island that I've been to with my parents in the past years (kasi yung parents ko sucker for island hopping, in case you wanna know). We stayed at Club Ten, it's a nice and affordable hotel.

    May 18, 2008 (Day2). Binagyo na talaga kami. the waves were huge, all the stores in the seashore were all wrapped up, sobrang lakas kasi ng hangin, but then again, we still enjoyed the morning taking pictures at the seashore (Kahit wala yung mahiwagang sunrise na inaasam asam ni Aileen). Then we went for snorkeling. " Pano yan di ako marunong lumangoy tsaka si Jvee din? " I was so worried as well as excited. So ayun nakapag snorkeling din kaso yun nga lang hindi nakasisid. We didn't do the rest of the water sports because of the huge waves and heavy rain (Haaaayyy, so disappointing!) Then we went to an island (which I don't remember the name anymore), i asked the bankero "Kuya, ano bang meron dito, bakit tayo pumunta dito?" (kasi wala naman talagang significance yung island, except for the resto na nasa cave.) "magswimming po kayo dito maam." he replied.
    So dun lang pwede magswimming? Kainis kasi nagbayad kami for island hopping service, eh bakit ganun snorkeling lang tsaka yung island na yun? (hhaaaayyyy, another disappointing experience). After an hour of island hopping (daw!), we headed back to the hotel. We rested for a while and then we went to D'Mall around 3pm to buy pasalubong. It took us 4 hours to buy the pasalubong for our team mates, friends and TL. Buying things for somebody else is exhausting you just don't know what to give, and to make things easier, we settled for the ever classic pasalubong "key chains", pero upgraded na din may cellphone holder na. hehehehe. At last natapos din and madugong paglalakad sa D"Mall (strolling around is not just my thing). People loves Boracay because of its life at night. The bars, boys, foreigners, and foreigners! Since we don't drink and we were tired of strolling around, we just went back to D'Mall and had our dinner and then afterwards while on our way back to the hotel, nagpicturan uli to the max (cam whoring as we speak hahahaha). Bagyo pa rin that time, which made it not that good summer experience.

    May 19, 2008, we're on our way to Roxas City, it was again a start of a pain in the butt journey. My friends had a very good time, it was a very unforgettable experience for Aileen, and for Jvee, it was a fullfilment that she had gone to Bora. As for me, another ordinary experience that just didn't amaze me except for the camera whoring. It would still be an experience that I would treasure because I was with my friends and that's a reason enough to be on my treasured list.
