I took a vacation! I went to the Boracay, Philippines. After
3 weeks in Hong Kong, I needed to get out! Early morning, Ffian, Polly, James,
and I took the night bus to the airport and met with Mary, Hannah, and John. We
were now on our way! The flight to Manila was a pleasant flight, and at the
airport, we met with LV, Mary’s cousin from who lives in the Philippines. She
basically guided us from Manila to Boracay. Good thing to because we would have
been extremely lost without her. We flew from Manila to Kalibo, and took a
2-hour bus to a ferry. This ferry took us to the island of Boracay, and we took
a tuk tuk to our hostel. Overall a 12-hour journey, but it was made all worth
it once we saw the beach and had Mexican food! Thank god I had good company, or
this journey would have been miserable. After the dinner we had couple more
drinks, and we hit the sack because we have been on this journey since 4am.
The next day (March 28, 2014), I woke up a little later and
headed to the beach! It was beautiful! I guess this can be considered my spring
break, and it topped all spring breaks I saw on Facebook! The rest of the group
joined us this day! It was somewhat action packed! We didn’t just sit around
the beach drinking all day, we did banana boating, and well… Shit all we did
was drink. Oh well, it was cheap! We spent the whole the day on the beach
laying around and being lazy! It was a though week at school for most of us, so
a little break was really nice. Dinnertime was nice! We went to the Boracay
fish market, which is in district one of the island. (There are districts in
Boracay, so Hunger Games reference was constant!) We bought all the fish and
took it to the restaurant next door, and they cooked everything for us! How
nice! I had fresh squid, red fish, and prawns! We ate like kings. Naturally
after we were done eating… we went and sat around the beach drinking some
mediocre rum! Surprise! We called it an early night.
The next morning, we took a party boat to Ariel’s Point. It
seems like all the young tourists gather there to do the simple things in life
like fall to your death from a cliff! We went cliff jumping there! Ffian and I
are overly competitive, so we made a bet saying who can jump off the highest
jump on the cliff jumping. There were 8 meter, 10 meter and 15 meter jumps. Of
course I won! There was serious taunting from Ffi, so that is why I won! The
alcohol was provided on the tour, so we drank till our hearts content! Rum and
coke will never be the same! From the cliff diving, we went swim, snorkeling,
and kayaking! I pushed Trent as he was getting his phone ready for the water,
resulting in a open water proof bag with a phone being in the bottom of the
ocean… Which I dove down to get for him! I was too drunk to know what I was
doing! Rachel stepped on a sea urchin, and Hannah bruised her entire leg while
cliff jumping, and Carlo scratched his arm when Ffi was bringing him up. 3 down
couple more to go. The drinks were provided till we got off the boat back to
our district! Ffi and I were too drunk! We runway walked, and I don’t remember
much. Supposedly, I ordered pizza, and Ffi lost my towel. We both passed out. I
guess the rest of my friends helped us to our beds because that’s where I woke
up… I woke up around 10pm and I was hungry and hung over. I went to drink and
eat with Polly, James, and Zach, but I was really tired so I went back in.
On way back in, I ran into Ffian, who I thought was dead,
and Hannah. This is around midnight, so I went with them back to the main beach
away from the hostel to grab a water bottle with them. Ffi hasn’t had the best
of days that’s for sure. Ffi lost her purse, so no money, no card, and no ID.
To lift her spirit, I asked her to explore with me, and let’s make it over to
this gay bar called Juice Bar. We walked for what seemed like ages, and as we
decide to give up on our hunt for this mystical bar called Juice Bar there it
was. We walked in and got ourselves couple drinks. We started getting really
friendly with this guy, who I do not know the name of, but we got along well!
The manager came by and gave of couple free drinks and danced with us.
Throughout the night Ffi and I were mentioning how drunk we were the night
before not realizing that we passes out on the same day, got up, and drinking
again. Came to be around 3 am, we walked back home drunk, and I went to bed.
Sunday (March 30, 2014), we went boating around the island
of Boracay. It involved drinks and food, which we had no complaints about. The
water there was unbelievably clear and the snorkeling life was amazing! The
water was really rocky, but I managed to have a good time swimming around with
the fishies! You know how it was 3 down from the cliff jumping, well Jess got
seasick… Like really seasick. She couldn’t get back on the boat to go home, so
her and Leah went back to our hostel in a cab. Not much really happened that
night, we had dinner all together as a big family eating heaps of food on the
beach! Afterwards, we followed the rest of the group to their bar they went
partying when we were in Juice Bar, but it was empty and not fun, so couple of
them called it an early night. Ffi, Pol, Antoine, Zach, Rachel, Trent, and I
decided to keep trucking to Juice Bar. It’s our final night so we had to!
When we got there, we met up with the guys from last night
and some new people from Aussie land! We had drinks with Popsicle in it, which
were amazing. After the bar started cleaning, we thought it’d be an appropriate
time to go skinny-dipping! So we did! Came back home and bed!
The next day was our leaving day! Time to go home bitches! We
got to a tiny airport in Kalibo and after many minutes of delayed flight with
no explanation, we got to Manila and from Manila to Hong Kong. Our flight from
Manila to Hong Kong got upgraded to business class! Yay! We hopped on the bus
home. That is how I did my Boracay!
