Boracay: Experiencing a piece of paradise

I bought my roundtrip tickets for Boracay last December 3, 2005 and scheduled our trip from 11 - 14 March 2006. Once the dates were finalized, I instantly told my boss and my team of my upcoming leave for my first ever trip to Boracay.

A week before my trip, I was so excited that I can't sleep well, eat well, think well, study well and work well. I worried constantly. Days before my trip, I had this feeling that I might go down with the flu. I had allergies, I was stressed and majorly pissed (thanks to Archie, Trexyl, Lawrence and the Vice-Dean of DLSU-GSB).

But the moment I woke up last March 11, I placed my worries and problems aside and decided that my new motto for my 4-day vacation will be: To hell with everything, especially, work. Let's go to Boracay!

So what's so special about Boracay? It's definitely the ambiance. The fine sand, the cool breeze, the warmth of the sun. Boracay can sometimes be over-rated. It's like drinking coffee at Starbucks. They may not have the best coffee but you just can't seem to have the same coffee experience at a different coffee shop.

Boracay is a piece of paradise and paradise is...

...having the confidence to wear a skimpy bikini and strutting your stuff in public
...sipping a cold, thick milkshake and eating pizza at Jonah's
...laughing and talking with your friends and not caring if your bunch is the noisiest group on the beach
...lying on the sand, hearing the waves, while reading a good book and listening to your mp3s using your Sony Ericcson k750i even if it meant only 8 tunes being repeated over and over again
...sand between your toes
...taking lots of pictures and looking good in almost all of them
...snorkeling and going on the banana boat
...having your hair braided for P100 only
...getting a henna tattoo

Dalawang tulog nalang

I'm so excited I can't...

...sleep
...eat
...study
...work

Nakakalungkot isipin na after 4 days and 3 nights, back to reality na naman ako.

Back to work.

Back to spending 12 hours at the office.

Back to studying Management Science. Hhmmm... Pwede na rin. :)

Goodbye My Lover

Artist: James Blunt
Album: Back To Bedlam
Year: 2005

Did I disappoint you or let you down?
Should I be feeling guilty or let the judges frown?
'Cause I saw the end before we'd begun,
Yes I saw you were blinded and I knew I had won.

So I took what's mine by eternal right.
Took your soul out into the night.
It may be over but it won't stop there,
I am here for you if you'd only care.

You touched my heart you touched my soul.
You changed my life and all my goals.
And love is blind and that I knew when,
My heart was blinded by you.

I've kissed your lips and held your head.
Shared your dreams and shared your bed.
I know you well, I know your smell.
I've been addicted to you.

Goodbye my lover.
Goodbye my friend.
You have been the one.
You have been the one for me.

I am a dreamer but when I wake,
You can't break my spirit - it's my dreams you take.
And as you move on, remember me,
Remember us and all we used to be

I've seen you cry,
I've seen you smile.
I've watched you sleeping for a while.
I'd be the father of your child.
I'd spend a lifetime with you.
I know your fears and you know mine.
We've had our doubts but now we're fine,
And I love you, I swear that's true.
I cannot live without you.

Goodbye my lover.
Goodbye my friend.
You have been the one.
You have been the one for me.

And I still hold your hand in mine.
In mine when I'm asleep.
And I will bare my soul in time,
When I'm kneeling at your feet.

Goodbye my lover.
Goodbye my friend.
You have been the one.
You have been the one for me.

I'm so hollow, baby,
I'm so hollow.
I'm so, I'm so, I'm so hollow

Who is Maan?

---

Very talkative, very frank to the point of being tactless. Major hyper active and super kulit. Tampuhin, selosa and madalas may topak. Psychotic but bearable most of the time. Pakialamera. Addicted to those excel quizzes and surveys forwarded through e-mail. Have learned how to say no to FREE FOOD and resist the temptation of buffets. Listens to The Morning Rush with Chico and Delamar and is a major fan of Sex and the City. Fiercely loyal to friends (especially the under dogs). Can't dance, can't sing, can't act but very OA (Outstanding Actress). Doesn't smoke, drink nor do drugs but definitely a great girl to hang out with (sagot ko na ang kwento). Cynical on the outside but a hopeless romantic deep inside. Tries not cry over a guy but will shed buckets of tears while watching a movie. Escapes from the real world by reading books, watching movies,and tv shows. Dreams of travelling the world someday and joining The Amazing Race with a friend who knows how to swim, ride a bike and drive a car.

...Nostalgia...
