Forever and ever…
I'll be a part of you, in the way i do
Come into my life, so i can see… " - lyrics from Moony's "Dove"
I just came back from a 4-day vacation from Boracay, and this is not my first time going there. Ever since I came back from Boracay June last year, the place captured my heart - the breathtaking scenery of a perfect blue sky with dizzy cloud formations, the crystal clear beach water, and the cool, powdery, fine sand that gives me so much comfort that I want to stay in that place forever.
This trip was so much fun! My bestbuds and I planned this since January and booked for a March 2-5 trip. I had one mistake - bestbud M and I went to Shangri-la for a cram shop a week just before our trip and bought whatever bikinis would fit us! Good thing it fit is quite nicely, or else I wouldn't be happy at all!
Anyway, we spent the night before our trip at bestbud J's house. We spent a good 'ol 3-4 hours trip , from plane to van and boat transfer to the place. After the excruciating wait, we finally arrived at our resort - Boracay Tropics.
Boracay Tropics wowed us with the impressive architecture - a mix of Mediterannean and Asian influence, a lush garden, with great rooms! The dining area was exquisite, we enjoyed the area, and the food was just alright.
Okay, for the beach, I so enjoyed going to the beach specially at Station 1. The sand was way powdery, and I loved how my feet felt whenever I would walk on that absolutely perfect, fine sand that I've always wanted. We went sunbathing, and J was first to get a gorgeous tan, M got a little bit burned, and K got a little bit red. My skin got a little bit tanned, and I wonder why it won't tan so deeply as J had! Hehe:)
For our bloopers, we had our moments. Bathroom bloopers ( S, you left your H in the bathroom! ), watersports bloopers ( me hanging on to the Flyfish boat like I'm falling off the building ), photo bloopers ( M on our pool shot, with her crazy laugh that almost drowned me whole ), K with her intense, and impressive CSI investigation skills ( hey,you oughta be a litigator! you can make murderers admit! Haha! ), J with her infectious laugh that is also a potential drowner if you're near water even if you could swim well, and her nonstop teasing and descriptions.
Watersports , I think, were no forte of mine even if I was in the swimteam way back in HS- I got a nasty motion sickness on the boat , as my stomach churned violently ( drat ), even churned more violently with the sight of the inconsiderate man dressed inappropriately ( well, at least to our eyes ) with nothing but sarcasm that comes out from his mouth. I mean, during our island hopping, we were in a group, and people were supposed to wait for each other. I could not believe my ears when he told a group of girls, when they got back late, like, "Hey, took a nap there or something? We were waiting you know?" Gosh. For someone who hates mankind, he should have taken an island hopping tour on his own! Lol!
For the Flyfish activity, everything was slippery that I turned into some blooper girl ! I don't want to talk about it! Lol! M also had her crazy moment with J almost sitting on her! Hahaha!
For the Jetski, hats off to J for having this extreme-sports attitude ! I seriously think she could do well as a drag racer. She's a no-fear girl! Haha! I on the other hand, wanted to try to be a no-fear girl with jetski, though.......I didn't know how to drive it!
For our night outs...well, day one night out, got me almost fuming mad and hilariously insane. J wanted me to sing at Cocomangas. Don't bother asking the details, but let's just say I almost chased her with my havs on my hands. Lol! It was alright - the pizza at Cocomangas was absolutely yummylicious, but the Lychee Margarita we had was just okay. We slept soundly during night one because we were tired from our transfer! We're quite lucky that the manong who drives the shuttle for Boracay Tropics is so nice!
For night number two, we ate at the Seawind Resort's buffet area. Wow, we feasted on the scrumptious array of fresh seafood, and it was divine! Loved the prawns, the oysters, the salted egg..and even the pasta! What made it more special was that there was a wedding held at Seawind, with fireworks and all. It was absolutely romantic - fireworks on the beach, with a glimpse of the couple holding hands, just looking at the sky, watching the fireworks display, celebrating their love on such an exotic place. Perrrfect.
We went for some drinks at Club Paraw, and had a blast. The house music was amazing - I so love beach music. I think I had a little bit too much to drink though I think I was still completely rational. It was so amusing to see people do their moves on girls or even guys there, and it was also interesting to see people dancing there. Met some nice new friends there, that sealed the night with a great smile on my face.
On our last night on Boracay, right after our island hopping adventure ( a very very tiring one! ), we ate at Boracay Tropics for dinner, but bought some souvenirs and Chori burgers at D'Mall. It was quite interesting to see the array of shops and the bustle of people in Boracay even when the sun comes down. As they say, all the action happens when the sun goes down.
We had our last one hour beach appreciation trip to Station 1 on our last day. Drat, I didn't want to leave! As we were waiting for our plane at the airport, I was in deep reflection on what actually transpired during our trip, and still trying to feel the cool, fine sand on my feet. I'm missing Boracay already. I uttered a silent goodbye, as I boarded on the plane.
Goodbye Boracay. Memories are always here in my heart.
Boracay was just a dream to all of us. We would wake up with nothing to do but look forward to have some fun, or just laze around the beach. It was so different from our lives back here in Manila, that we never wanted it to end. We learned so much about each other that we came home with a new, and stronger bond formed. I'll never forget this vacation, ever.
Boracay to me is surreal. It's like, it's almost not real - it's the perfect place on earth for me, and I shall never tire of visiting it every year.
I'll see you when fate twists us up again.
