B O R A C A Y I S L A N D…my 8th visit",)
April 28, 2008
I’ve been to this ISLAND which many people call as their haven of relaxation for almost a couple of times. Maybe its my 8th visit last April 12-14, ‘08 yet every visit is incomparable to the first, the second and so counting my coming back.
Day 1
This time i’ve packed not only my swimmming gear and summer attires but also secured a sumptuous viand and picka picka for the long drive. For almost a week of planning what to do and what to wear my friend and i jump off to Boracay for a weekend at the break of dawn; April 12. We were accompanied by my father to the bus stop half past 3 o’clock in the morning. Excited as we are we rode a different bus (sigh). We take off ilo-caticlan trip quarter to 5 a.m. The bus was full that we were left to sat on a stool my butt ached so bad,. Good thing we had stop over so that i could stretch every now an then.
We arrived caticlan jetty port almost 11a.m. my partner with one of our common friend sat waiting for us. They were relief from waiting for another hour. We hurriedly bought our tickets and rush our way to the boat. We were like children lining up with glittery eyes, cant help but see the paradise that awaits us. And so this is it. With the rushing of the waters, breaking into the island’s shore, we finnaly arrived. We took a motorcycle ride to LMs resot. We had an hour of unpacking our things that our stomach growled for hunger. We had lunch at CASA PILAR. They served well done crispy pata, native chicken ‘binakol’. We also had chapsuey. T’was worthwhile. After the sumptuous meal, we slept for about 2 hrs to recharge our energy for the rest of the day.
We got up and ready ourselves for a feel of the beach. With our swim suits on we enjoyed the waters. We watched the sunset. We posed for our photos to be taken. We let go od the things we worry about. This time we only had so mush fun and relaxation in our minds. We take advantage of the massahe services of the locals and lay down against the sand. We went back to the cottage and fill our hunger. We shared with the resort owner the ‘estofado’ we brought and the four of us happily dines together.
Day 2
We woke up almost 7 in the morning. We took a bath in our place and went to Mang Inasal to have our lunch. Again we were so full that we wanted to sleep yet we do not want to let go of the chance to strol along the serene place od Boracay. We looked for merchandises the ysold and walked our way to take souviner photots. Krisha and I decided to stay af the beach front of Boracay Regency. She was busy takinf photos while i can’t help myself but to sleep under the heat of the sun. So for an hour i was there, while the teo of our companions went back to our place and take a nap.
46 minutes past four we reched our place and git ready for another fun swimming. We had a sip of beer and our chips. We untiringly watched the beautigul sunset before us and made our own personal wishes.
Our local friend treated us for a rooftop dinner. She introfuced her partner who apparently was a common friend of our friends. What a small world, indeed people go in circles",) Our dinner was exciting. Knowing new a face. We had beer near the seashore and enjoyed the cold summer breeze. We shared stories and exchanged smiles. NO WORRIES… ONLY PURE JOY!
DAY 3
We woke up a lottle early. I prepared coffee for breakfast. The weather was not on our side. Heavy rain pured, with thunder and lightning. I almost thought we couldnt make it back home. On the other hand i felt nature would also want ud to stay the way we wanted to extend our vacation. But our leaves are over and we MUST get back to work.
And so we went back home taking antique-iloilo route. We had stopped over in Barbaza where i got a very special present. It was something that i wish could last a lifetime",) Around 8p.m. Krisha and i arrives safely in our home",)
