boracay break

life in the city has been really exhausting...a lot of things have given me so much stress that i had to escape and fly off to Boracay Island alone. well a friend of mine was there who gave me a part-time gig so surviving in bora won't be hard for me. plus a met a lot of new friends there which has made my stay there really fun.

a month of stay in boracay (counting my 6 day-side trip to Iloilo City) has been both an adventure and a learning experience for me. i got to do things i've never done before, i've learned to do things on my own....i can saw that i've grown.

this was the first time i got out of my comfort zone. with only a few amount of cash, surviving the entire month there has never become hard for me. it helped that i'm a very sociable and resourceful person.

i can say that this (so far) has been the wildest part of my life. i used to party there every night, and to my count, i only missed drinking alcohol for about 3 days. haha! also, this has been my craziest experience with guys. in manila, i'm really more of the conservative type, but there, i've almost gone beyond my limitations. but then, i was still thankful that i was able to control myself.life there was never boring. every weekend, new sets of tourists were coming, and i'm happy that some of them were my friends from manila. i got to hangout and share my experiences with them.
i've also learned to move on...from the past that i've been trying to let go for 8 months already. it's just now that i've cleared my mind and freed my soul from hatred and bitterness. i've learned to appreciate the things and the people around me.

it's also overwhelming to be surprised by my iloilo friends on my 22nd birthday. a birthday party in bora rocks! why? party 'til sunrise, overflowin' alcohol, crazy party people, perfect music, and a white sand beach! awesome!i can never exchange my bora experience with anything. it's one decision i would never regret. now that i'm back in manila, i have with me the lessons in life that i've learned during my stay there. i also have my friends back with me, plus the new friends i've met in bora.

i'm really missing bora now...its white sand, romantic sunset, good food, nice people, fab finds...actually everything about it! i wish i could come back before the year ends.

and now, soul searching is over. it's now time to face reality. no more escaping from problems anymore. at least now, i know that i'm stronger, that i can face any obstacle that would come my way. and i'm thanking God that he's always by my side.
