boracay

this is just a list of things i did and observations in Bora. so far so good, and if you don't want to get envious, maybe you shouldn't read on. ;) i apologize right now though for the lack of coherence and style. just want to get some things down while the feeling is fresh.

this place can't be beat for atmosphere sometimes. reggae mix of je ne t'aime plus playing outside the cafe.

as by boracay holy week tradition i've run into people, and did a little small talk: when did you arrive, where are you staying, when are you leaving, what are you gonna do later?

vacation began a little off, the thursday parties' only saving grace was alcohol. too many bitches with attitude at hey jude and summer place. sought fun elsewhere.

Friday, much better. The Indian dinner we had at True Food was quite good, if the service a little poor. the evening chill-out event (c2) at club paraw was ok, and thanks to Bianca, we got a pretty nice cabana. earlier in the afternoon simple joys: tossing a frisbee with Nicole and Edsel at the wide beach fronting cocamangas. the morning had a yoga session at Mandala spa.

This morning had a huge breakfast and a great massage, and finally(!) went for a long swim and got a lot of sun. enjoyed my Paul Theroux book on the beach. might go for a little cruise later or rent a bike, we'll see what i feel like doing. maybe a little shopping?

some of the locals here really are nice. none of that fake service smile BS. makes me want to stay here longer, among other things.
