Boracay Summer '06

I just really, REALLY had to book us a one week stay in our favorite island in the Philippines. Since the start of this year, it has been all work, work and WORK for me and my hana. We REALLY deserved this vacation! Here are some of the highlights: Just couldn't wait to dig my feet into the white(?) sands of Bora. I just noticed that the sand now gets hot. In the 80's and 90's, even in the noon time, the sand would never heat up. And it was much whiter too! *sigh* Oh Boracay, ah virgin island no more... I tried the Fly Fish thingy for the first time! In the pic, you see Mylene Dizon infront of me, and Sports Unlimited's Jackie and Diane Castillejo. But that was BEFORE the speed boat tugged us. As soon as we started to take off, in a last minute decision, Jackie bailed out! She got too scared. So Mylene's darling, Paolo Paraiso and Prince of R&B, Jay-R joined us instead. How was it? Let's just say that I will NEVER EVER ride it again. I never liked the Banana Boat ride either. Yeah, call me boring or Ms. Chicken, but thrill rides aren't my thing really. haha! Plus it didn't help that Jay-R kept tugging my ankle the whole time! Message to Jay-R: "Tandaan mo yan, dude! The next time you have a dance number with us, gagantihan kita. Hahahaha!" And this was my most memorable experience...being on board the M.S. Vianelle. To celebrate the 9th year of Sports Unlimited, friends and past guests boarded this trimaran and sailed from 11am 'til sunset. We had different water rides like jetskis, wakeboard, the sea biscuit, banana boat, and the fly fish. We sailed around the island and we sipped champagne as the sun was setting. I felt like I was at St. Barts and not in Boracay. My thought bubble was, "Ahhhh...this is the life!" Toasting with me and my hana are Jackie, Mylene, Paolo and Jay-R :) For More pics, just scroll down to my photo section on the sidebar :)
