|  | 14-16.march 2008. boracay island, aklan. the arrival.
long-planned trip. i thought i can never join in. thank God for sudden turn of events :) celebrating "liberation" a few days. out of work. traveling with my sisters (minus our folks) after x number of years.
pretty fun experience. tons of retail therapy. i heart shopping. most definitely. spur-of-the-moment "trekking" and getting "dressed" for it. riding the sails. the paraw style. watch the sunset by the sea. business opportunities for a friend. hmmm. pretty neat idea right there. mingling with some locals. small talk goes a long long way.
day one was about life by the beach. anything and everything that happens in between. |
|  | 14-16.march 2008 boracay island, aklan. bye-bye to beach life.
talk about short-lived vacay. three days. gone that fast? hmmm. if it weren't for day two's grueling but fun activities. all i have of bora's memory would be about shopping and nothing more.
and yes, if it weren't enough. spent my last few hours still doing that. hmmm. i heart it soo much even if it meant denting my finances. bleh. tough luck. i had to leave a couple of hours earlier just so i could catch the 3pm flight. soo much unfinished business. :/
i vowed to be back.
and i'm definitely seeing those starking white shores and the natives' sunny smiles again. the question is when...
thank God for the experience. though virginal and all that. i know i've been to better beaches. but "meeting" bora in a different light was a good take at traveling. it was a bit curt that's all. i sooo wanna go back (had i already said that???)
first shot at traveling with my sisters, and close family friends. did learn a lot. had tons of realizations.
... i'm definitely a traveler. |
|  | 14-16. march 2008. boracay island, aklan the oh-so-strenuous day.
talk about jampacked!!! think of every water activity possible and cram it in just one day. yup, that's what you call tripping. from sun up to sundown. talk about maximum human strength. and we are so cut out for it huh?
island hopping. snorkeling made more challenging, thanks for the big waves. spelunking in a sense. 'cos we visited "caves". would've been fun taking a dip there if it weren't for the intimidating current. thanks to the strong winds.
foodfest. seafoodfest for lunch. thanks to manong jun, the banker(o) turned cook:) squishing calamansi for handwashing. taking our trip back to the main island. bananaboat for free, taking it a stride longer than usual. thanks for cres' connections.
couldn't head to puka beach by boat. so much for the strong winds, humongous waves. took the trike to complete the adventure. puka beach was a personal favorite ^^ conversing with a local kid was so enlightening. beachcombing. wave tripping. swimming with a smash.
late night dinner with that panjabi feel. curries. masalas. lassies. and bloated naans. binging on FIC. i love. so much for the sudden rain, which ruined our mood to party up.
we're dead tired anyway...
disclaimer: thanks to cher and her underwater cam. 75% of these snaps are hers. the "switch" was indeed put to its full use. ^^ |
