Welcome To My Life

Boracay 2006 (Part 2 of 4)

DAY 2
We woke up around 8 AM to have our breakfast and get ready for our island hopping gig. A sure treat for our first timer friends in the island. Our breakfast was had really small servings. It wasn't a recommended breakfast at all. Anyway, next on the agenda was island hopping. Albert, our guide, was gonna be joining us on our island hopping gig. Albert was a bit moody today and a little snobbish so we left him be. I guess he was having a bad day. hehehe It was a little cloudy and windy too so we got a little nervous because the waves are gonna be a bit big especially when we get a little further off the island.

Sure enough, it was windy and very maalon. Cands was not a fan of deep water, expecially if it's maalon. hehehe But our fears were gone when we got to the dive site. There were a lot of fishes this time. They were just swimming beside me, in front of me, below me, in short, everywhere!! It was great to see those many fishes. We got to feed them the oishi crackers that we brought, but we panicked because all of them headed straight to it and to my finger too! hehehe It was fun and scary at the same time. We all had a laugh about it because so many fishes wanted to eat the treat and they swarm around you and if you're not used to it, you will really panic. hehehe

After our snorkeling, we proceeded to go around the Island and to Puca Beach to have our lunch. The way to Puca beach was very scary, it was raining, windy and very, very maalon. We all were very nervous in our little banca that were only enough to hold 10 people the most. Augs even vomited along the way because the waves were just really big. Albert in his moody mood scoffed to us that we being OA about the waves. That there is nothing to worry about and this is just normal around the island. We just didn't mind him because if we did, we would have pushed him off the banca. We were relieved when we reached Puca beach to have our lunch.

The restaurant was again a recommendation from Albert and his cousin. The restaurant's name was Tesebel. It is run by a relative of theirs and they said the food was great and they have a great cook. So, we ordered inihaw na tuna, sinigang na ulo ng tuna, calamares, honey-buttered sugpo and some mangoes. It was truly delicious!!! All the food we ordered was very, very delicious. Everyone enjoyed it and we wanted to come back here to eat again as it was really, really yummy! Quite expensive but worth it. The calamares was the winner! I recommend that you eat at this place when you go to Boracay.

After lunch, Albert approached us and apologized about his behavior, he said he was just having a bad day and wanted to make up to us this time. True enough, he became fun after that. He took us to a private spot of the island called 'Balanghai' where we took a short dip and swim. He took pictures of us and with us. Smiled a lot now and even joked around us now. But he became a little frisky so we distanced ourselves to him a little bit. I think he drank a little during his lunch break. Anyway, We all laughed about it, we said that our guide had topak and wished na sana di na lang sya nakipagbati sa amin. hehehe Oh well, at least the adventure we had was worth it.

After 5 hours of island hopping, they didn't charge us extra OR we didn't allow them to charge us extra. hehehe Nahilo na kami't lahat at ang tagal ng food sa lunch namin tapos ch-charge nyo kami ng extra! No way no! hehehe

After island hopping, Apaul and Augs wanted to get massages. Cands and Pau retreated to their room to rest for awhile. While Doths, Nikks, Oyo and I walked to D'Talipapa to see if we can buy a few pasalubongs. It was long walk indeed. It was a good walk though for our full stomachs from that yummy lunch!

When we got to D'Talipapa, Doths and Nikks went shopping. Oyo and I played around the place since I wasn't planning to buy anything naman. hehehe We spent the rest of our afternoon at this place. Just looking for stuff and nice things. Before sunset, Apaul and Augs joined us as Apaul wanted to buy some stuff too. When they arrived, Augs told us that they almost got into an altercation with the locals because Apaul's tattoos are getting a lot attention from the locals. They were in awe of her tattoos. But some folks are a bit aggressive in showing their awe. The two of them got scared because some locals looked like goons and a bit drunk. hehehe We were laughing so hard when we heard this story. Apaul bought a shirt out of the blue just to cover her tattoos so as not to get that much attention. After that, another round of shopping was done and then we noticed it was night time na pala.

NIGHT 2
We had our dinner at a small place in D'Talipapa. The food was ok and filling. We were all a bit tired but I didn't want to ride the tricycle back to our hotel. I wanted to enjoy the view of Bora so we decided to walk off our dinner and enjoy the view of Boracay at night time.

When we got to our hotel, this time we decided to have some alcohol in our bodies on our 2nd night in Boracay. The bum thing was, it rained that night. So we decided to drink our Vodka bottles in our room and just swap stories and make fun of people. hehehehe Great stories were shared, though I don't remember when the drinking session ended because I got drunk first and was the first one who slept or passed out. hehehe All I remember was Oyo waking up beside me, crying and wanted to push me off the bed. I didn't budge of course. Too dizzy to even care. hehehe
