My BORA Escapade


My body is still aching, my face is hot and I think I am coming down with fever. But that's ok, it's all because of having too much fun.
I was finally, after so many years, was able to go to Boracay. I have been planning to pay a visit to the famed resort paradise- island ever since I started working. I don't know if it's the schedule or the resources (I hope not!), but I just seem to miss every opportunity of going. Until last week when our Sales Manager actually offered a BORA package to me. What happened is that the winner of the trip apparently has worked in Boracay for a number of years, so you can tell that she was not really that thrilled to go back there that soon. So, enter Lexie to the Boracay picture!
I was so excited because I have been looking forward for a break, in fact any kind of break. Work has been exhausting and the pressure could sometimes be too much to take. The programs crazy drive to meet the targets has been exasperating. But that's a whole new different blog entry altogether, so I would not dwell on that. At least not today.
Anyway, going back to the main discussion, Boracay was a B-L-A-S-T! It was everything that I have imagined, seen on TV, heard from my friends and more! Bora is the Temptation Island, Philippine version. All kinds of 'bad" things are there. Sex, drugs, alchohol and more sex. Well, I actually did not get any. I was not "actively looking" after all.
The weird part is that, for entire time that I was there, the only thing that I wanted to do was to actually sleep! I know, people go to Boracay to party (I did, on our last night on the island!) or to enjoy the sun. I am not really a very "sunny" person. I don't like the heat and the sticky sand, I like the beach mainly for the view.
There was two things that I enjoyed the most in Bora, the first was the night out. The beach side bars where jam-packed and overflowing with people. MTV was there and I was able to see one of my biggest staright crush, Champ Lui, the vocalist from Hale. Anyway, the other thing that I totally enjoyed was the Banana boat ride. I was so scared at first because I cannot swim. But it was fun! Reallyfun!


I haven't really written anything signifacnt or personal in this blog recently. Probably because I'm too busy from work or I just cannot think of anything that is even slightly amusing. My blog has been a total waste on web and brain space!
