Old Friends Meet Again

March 30th, 2009 graz 1 comment

It seems that it was only yesterday we parted our ways from college. It’s nice to see old faces again. Leah Rosa, Irene and Ira haven’t change a bit, they still managed to maintain their long and silky black hair. Leah got her haircut some few months ago (in freshair i suppose) and me getting a summer-look. Dodong and Irene’s relationship gets stronger everytime I see them together. Leah Rosa and Ira is now a “Mom”, dragging along their “chikitings” that made us busy (mga ki-at kaayo hehehe…) during dinner. I sensed maturity as we talked our responsibilities at home and at work. It shows that we are fully aware that we’re no longer kids. But still, childish-like would emerged unto us the time we entered timezone where we spend half of our time with the kids. Bump-cars, jeepy-ride, get-that-toy (is this really the name?) and hulog-hulog piso, you name it. We really had a great time.

And I can’t wait for our next get together.

Early Summer Escapade at Boracay

March 11th, 2009 graz 6 comments

Summer has just begun and what a way to spend my early summer escapade is to spend it in Boracay with Eman’s family (my Paparts). I’ve never been there and many of my colleagues mentioned that Boracay is such an awesome paradise.

I’ve purchased the tickets two months before the scheduled date and it made me a thrill to feel the ambiance of what I’ve seen over the internet. I admit, my imagination runs wild and my expectations goes higher and higher when I read every review on local traveler forums and blogs (PEX etc).

February 22nd came, the scheduled date for our trip. Around 7:30AM, we boarded the Cebu Pacific going to Iloilo City. Frankly, it was my first time on a turbo propeller plane and it made me nervous seeing such a tiny 40-seater plane from the MCIAA departure lounge.

Thirty-two (32) minutes flying on-air seems endless for me, my feelings were quite mixed. I’m nervous that our plane might have a problem and I am also excited to see my Paparts (the last time I’ve seen him was over a month ago) but I am more excited to see Boracay personally.

We arrived at Sta Barbara Airport at 8:32AM, claimed our baggage and wait another hour for the van we hired going to Caticlan. The trip was quite long, it takes us 4 hours to take a five-minute boat ride from Caticlan to Boracay Island.
