Boracay Experience Part I
By 6 A.M., we started preparing ourselves to go to Boracay. I took a bath then went to the dining to have my breakfast—rice and fried egg. I noticed that they didn’t even take a bath. We were cramming since they were waiting for us. At the last minute, I even changed my top shirt since I looked like a wrapped “suman.”
It was a long ride to Caticlan. I think we made it to Caticlan around by 9 A.M. It was a fun ride though since they were talking gossips about their neighbors. What’s fascinating with the people here is the mentality of aristocracy. You can see big and nice houses even they were just vendors of “dilis” (small fish) and hog butcher while the richer people are living modest with their simple and small houses. Anyway, during the trip, my tummy ached and it felt like I need to go the comfort room. When we arrived in Caticlan, we bought our tickets for the boat ride. Since I’m with the locals, we bought our tickets for only 20 pesos. Tickets for non-locals are 50 pesos by the way. Better leave the talking to the locals or you will pay 50 pesos.

Flying To Kalibo, Aklan
At this moment, I might be on airplane now flying to Kalibo or still in the airport. I’m totally excited! It will be my first time to ride a plane and at the same time my long vacation away from Manila. To my readers, don’t you worry I have prepared posts that are scheduled for the whole week. Just bare with me that I wouldn’t be able to approve your comments and answer back your emails. Will I suffer anxiety from not blogging or even hooking up in the internet? I just hope not. I think I already have signs of addiction to blogging.
