It would be fun to share all my Boracay experience bit-by-bit but, damn I don’t know where to start. Would it be like from Day 1 to 4 story? Or a novel-like? Ajeje. I don’t knowww. I dont wanna mess your dashboard so I’ll just go with what my fingers feel like typing and yes this could be lame and cluttered. Heeeeee me no writer

Just when I ranted about me not knowing anything about swimming, in Boracay, I finally learned to! Yes. But don’t expect that I know back stroke etc achuchuchu. I depend on goggles and with that I can swim for like a few distance. I’m a 3 of course… It’s my first time to actually float and swim. I am such a loser. :> But I learned.

 ^ That is my 4th or 5th attempt to capture the heart of Boracay Island right when I first saw it. There was that familiar heart-attack and an uncontrollable smile when finally, I smelled the breeze of the very blue and green water. The sound of the birds, the beats on speakers, the people laughing and shouting while taking pictures with their dslr-s, the literally hot weather - with every click, every bit of the fact that I’m there is sinking deeply into my mind. It is the very famous Boracay of the Philippines. I tried to imagine how the rest of our stay could be like. The foods that we will eat, how delicious could they be? What kind of adventures could happen? What could be the reason of our smiles and laughters? I had no idea but i thought, one thing is for sure. That it would be fun. And yes, it was. 

One of my highlights is when I walked with kuya to the end of Boracay. Our eyes were never bored because you see different, colorful, and beautiful (including cute guys hihi) things with every turn of your head. There were fire dancers, alive crabs na nakatali, cute souvenirs, different hotel architectures, restaurants, and a lot more cool stuff that I cannot describe. We just wish that we had that much energy to reach the end point with just kwentuhan and drinks without sitting. Hell, it was tiring. When we’re back to our hotel, our stomach began to talk and we headed to a  restaurant (which we also walked and was a bit far). =))

I only had few pictures of us swimming, because my camera is very sensitive to water and it will be HARD TO ACCEPT for me if my dslr would be broken because of fcking beach. Better to keep those beautiful memories in our heads instead. Before this picture was taken, my older brother (who is obviously the one wearing shorts with white strip) was tutoring me on how to swim. I was a fast learner. I don’t know why I never learned before. And yes, my brother’s age is waaaaaaaaaaayyyy far from mine. I will explain that in a diff. post. :)

Aaaaaaand we went parasailing! This is the most fun moment of my stay if I’m not mistaken. For me we were 89478238r7qw6e876rew76675327 million miles away from the ground =)). The whole time I was just looking down to different islands and checking the ocean if there are sharks because my brother requested to dip us into the water. I had mixed emotions, but happiness is what I felt the most. It was not so scary, until i heard metals losing grips. And then, i found out that the Manongs were already pulling the rope close to our bangka because our time is almost over. I had more thrills and adventures that sadly, I wasn’t able to capture because of the fast pace of events and duh I can’t just bring my camera anywhere - esp near the water. Like what I said, if those memories are truely remarkable, then it’s okay not to capture whatever it is, because there are also films in our heads and hearts that can never fade or be lost.

^ When we’re going home :( This photo was taken from a very cool boat. 8D hehe airconditioned. And there were only few of us there so it was quite a cool ride too. I was dramatic thinking of when will I come back again. Because our plan is to go to Palawan next year. I felt like I lived in Boracay for 4 years not 4 days and I was really sad feeling every second moving away from the island. The memories, the people that I met, the weather, the music, I miss them already although I just got to the boat. If I just have a lot of hands, I would give Boracay a round of applause! Plus a standing ovation! Boracay you are wonderful! I miss you already! And I will be back with more friends. Wait for me. :)

This day @Pansol, Laguna just made me realize that I’m just a ‘feeling swim lover’.  I don’t really know how to swim. Scratch that. I’ve been taught by my cousins and titas many times, I am really just a scared ass. =)) Almost all members of my family ^ know how to swim </3. Well, i like summer. I like kampay-ing in the water. I like the sand and the feeling. I like everything with swimming. At least, i have something to be proud of that I’ve never been so afraid of pool slides and deep pool areas. I just hope I could have one more opportunity to learn how to swim after I missed the P.E. Swimming class during the last 2nd Sem of my Year 2 in college. Or at least, an opportunity to be passionate at any sport. Because… asdfghjkl that’s a different story. I’m just thinking, maybe God intentionally made me as someone who doesn’t know how to swim :)). Because if I knew how to swim, I’ll be the most avid fan of swimming &the darkest of my family. And. I. Don’t. Want. That.  

From our private pool area is a quite good view of (they said) Mt. Makiling. Could have been better if there were no cable wires and poste. I bended my body to diff. positions slash did acrobatics to get a better picture and tada! yea still not that a good photograph though -___-

This day was a family reunion of the Beratios and Pagkaliwangans. The clans of the very tagalog/ never heard sir names. :)) My Mom actually said that our sir name is popular in our province in Cavite. I guess we’re just few here in Manila.

Real good bonding :)
