Finally, Summer’s here!
Now that classes are over, I can blog anytime I want. Yipee! Okay so I’ve been gone for ages. I’ve had some personal problems, it kinda involved a lot of boys. Enough about that. I’m glad that everything’s fine now. I really missed blogging so much. One of the reasons why I haven’t been able to post a decent update is that I didn’t feel articulate during those times. And besides, I got a lot going on offline. My sister went on a month-long leave so I kinda spent more time bonding with her before she goes back to Manila. School was eating up my time. But I went on a short break.
I went to Boracay (March 12-14) with my parents and my sister, together with some of my dad’s colleagues and their families. We were almost late for our Tacloban-Manila flight. We arrived at NAIA Terminal 2 so we had to board the airport’s bus that would take us to NAIA Terminal 3 for our Manila-Caticlan flight. The flight to Caticlan gave me a little fright and the plane’s propeller was too noisy. We stayed at the Boracay Holiday Resort. It’s a few meters away from the beach. I almost lost my baggage at the hotel. After checking in at our hotel, we decided to take a stroll at the beachfront before the Fellowship Night begins. We had to wear some Hawaiian inspired clothes. After dinner, my sister and my friend, Rhica, went to D’Mall. I spent P200 on 14 keychains. We had our picture taken with a white guy and a violet guy (take a look at the pictures and you’ll know what I mean). I wanted to get a tattoo (the henna one, not the permanent one) but I didn’t get the chance to do so. Oh, BTW, I don’t normally wear shorts in public, but hey, it’s Bora. Nobody cares.
My first night at the hotel was kinda okay. You see, staying at a hotel gives me the creeps. (Okay, I should stop reading ghost stories.) Whenever I use the bathroom, I would check to see that no one or nothing is standing behind the shower curtains while I’m doing my thing. LOL. I’m such a scaredy cat.
The next day was kinda exhausting. From our hotel, we walked all the way to the grotto. A couple was nice enough to take our picture. The heat was killing me, I didn’t want to walk all the way back to our hotel. When we arrived at the hotel, I was sweating like a pig. My mom told us that we should have taken the tricycle on our way back to the hotel. She should have told us earlier.
I got braids on our second night there. I was reluctant since we were about to leave the next day. If by any chance you saw a girl with braided hair walking around at Robinson’s Manila on the 14th, that was me. LOL. Oh and if the lady at the airport’s bus (who took pictures of me without asking permission) is reading this, can I get a copy?! LOL.
On our flight back home, I kinda experienced losing my breath during take-off, air turbulence and landing. I had an oxygen mask on for the entire flight. The flight attendant was very kind and she kept on checking on me from time to time.
I really did enjoy my short break from school, well except for the oxygen incident. I don’t care if I missed a lot of lessons. It was worth it.
P.S. Don’t steal my pics or the slideshow. I’m gonna kill you if you do. LOL. Oh and I would like to thank everyone who dropped by even when I was on a hiatus.
