The Beach is my Home

Not Everyone Who Wanders Is Lost

March 19-24, 2008

For our birthday month, my bestfriend Pam and I decided to go on a trip to Boracay for the Holy Week. Just two girl friends on the loose in Paradise. An entire week, of sun soaking, swimming, coffee, conversation, margaritas, waiting for the sunset, photo shoots, waiting for the sunrise, chilling, eating, reading and of course, just mastering the Great Art of Doing Nothing.

The pictures give you an idea of what it was like. But it was much much more than that. If only I could put that week back...

LOIS!

I miss you so much, roomie! Remember our early morning swims in the Greenhills Garden Square pool (with Pam sometimes too!)? And the late-night conversations before we turn in--on our Japanese-style beds, i.e. mga kutson sa sahig! Hahaha!

The last time I saw you was when we bumped into each other in Timezone! Kelan na ang tunay na bonding? :-)

Hi Lois! Glad to know you found your way to the other side of Boracay. :D That side is very memorable to me. I had an affair with that beach, it specifically had something to do with that white development on Mt. Luho which is your background.

loisyaz wrote on Jul 12, '08

it was pams idea. at first i was shocked when we saw the place. we wanted to move to a nicer hotel. but later on we came to appreciate the more peaceful side of boracay. so laid back. still living on the island?

sherlynpt wrote on Jul 12, '08

I've moved back here in Cavite since January. :D What do you do now ba? Baka we can make raket together, I see that you're into photography now. If you want to go into portraits and you need a makeup artist. :D

loisyaz wrote on Jul 13, '08

onga eh... thats what i was thinking as well. but im in the US now. sayang team up sana di ba? maybe if i come back... youre doing well for yourself. and you did it in so little time ha. baka ka level mo na si jigs niyan... you go girl!
