Where I've Been

Want to know where I've been? Here's a hint:


Still don't get it? How about this?

No? If you still don't get it from this photo, then you need to see a doctor.

Despite heavy rains in Manila and continued cries of people saying, "Bora in this rain? Anong gagawin mo doon?," me and my mother-in-law still jetted out to the island. I'm very happy to report that apart from showers in the early morning and very occasional rain clouds that pass by, it was quite sunny there. The weather was actually awesome because of the strong winds because no matter how high the sun would get, the wind canceled out the intense heat. Although it is also because of the strong winds that caused the island's facade to change. They built windbreakers of bamboo lined either with nets or plastic along the shore to block the winds from blowing everything inland. Like for example, this is how the front of Le Soleil looks like,
Some establishments have only just begun building theirs.

Kiteboarders have also littered the waters of Boracay. I guess this watersport is very big this time of year. The waves are stronger now as well and makes for a very fun swim. I was reminded of when Niki and I were diving through waves in Bohol. Lots of fun! Niki, you should have been there!!

Apart from the wind, waves and kiteboarders, every thing is just perfect and I am very pleased with my second, albeit short, visit. Since Coron, I have been longing to hit the waters again and I am grateful that Paul's mom invited me to tag along.

More Boracay pictures here.

Slap me, I'm bored.


I love grunge

Had lunch with Paul's mom earlier. The jetsetter is heading out for London next week after just coming back from Dubai a couple of days ago. She has several trips planned over the next couple of months before heading back to LA in September for Joann's baptism. Jammi is picking me up in an hour to continue my Tarot lessons. The deck she gave me a few months back has been sitting beside my bed untouched since I still don't know how to read them.
