greetings from the island of boracay!
BORA HIGHLIGHTS:
:: ginny (my forever plane seatmate) witnessing one of my weakest moments TWICE...that brief moment when the speeding stops and the plane's nose would rise up to the neverending sky...
:: going to the cockpit! yeah baby! i finally met people who understood how it is to really want to fly a plane!!! ginny said i was noisy while i was there (she could hear me on the loudspeaker whenever the pilot spoke), but who cares??? hahaha! i was so happy!!! :) :) :)
:: night swimming with rina, kris, and ginny...submerging ourselves in cold, low tide water...talking about how the sand would not go to your *toot*. c/o ginny. :)
:: island hopping!!! four hours of nothing but the sky, the water, the islands, and the dudes. oh yeah, its what we came there for, after all. (or...? anyway!) plus i got to use that underwater camera! :)
:: snorkeling!!! ah i love the waterrrrrrrrrr!!!! and the fishhhhhhhhhh!!! (kris, its not what you think!) :)
:: exploring some caves in the island...wow, what an experience. mighty waves crashing into the rocks. ah, basta ang ganda. and we saw a sea snake. nyehehehe.
:: habulan time with kris in the shore...dream come true since the days of film class :)
:: banana boat ride...that didn't capsize :( oh well it was fun, nonetheless...i was in front so the seawater splashed on my face the whole time. :) we were a crazy bunch...waving at boat-riders and other banana-boaters during the whole ride. haha!!! :) :)
:: half-drunk walking in the sand from cocomangas to dear fat jimmy's with rina and ginny...under the great big sky of moon and stars...clearing my mind (and drunkenness) as i was doing so.
:: still standing after 15 chuvanesses at cocomangas :) and tending to a dead drunk friend...now that's a first.
:: oysters!!! stuffed myself with it, all the while fearing for the revolution that only diatabs can appease.
:: biking in the sand from station one to three.
:: kayaking...wha! it wasn't as easy as doing it in the lake...i forgot about the waves! well, at one point the kayak capsized (fully documented by kris) coz i was rocking it to scare abbie...so she went down the water, and with all her might turned the whole thing upside down. :) there's the end of my kayaking career :)
:: seeing AA buddies! sasa on the first til the last day, abu a few hours before we left, and christle on day three!
:: oh yeah, mr. blue rose recipient candidate number 2 from spanish class (wow ang haba) was there.
:: picture-taking! haha...i outdid myself...266 (240 digi, 26 underwater cam) pictures in 4 days! yeah baby!
:: aimless walking alone along the shoreline on the last night...if there's anything practical i learned from the philosophical dr. ibana, this is it!!! :)
:: bonding in the nipa hut with the room 206 dudes + rina til the wee hours of the morning of day 4.
  
on a serious note, i lost something in bora. while i do feel sad about it, i don't feel the urge to get it back.
