    Recovering from too much happiness the night before, we had a slow day by the pool. We managed to get down to D’Mall for massages and then went down to the buffet at Paradise Garden. [simage=3789,200,y,center,][simage=3790,200,y,center,] It was an extremely windy evening, which R said was either going to bring in really crappy weather or…

    Yesterday we spent some time trying to figure out what we should do – stay here in Boracay for another six days or head to somewhere else like Cebu. After some searching and consideration of transportation challenges (sea, air, luggage, etc.), we decided to go ahead and stay here. So, I looked online to book…

    The sun still seems to be hiding, though we did see a slight glimmer of it in the late afternoon into dusk. We tried out one of the buffets on offer down by the White Beach area. It was okay, though the lack of breeze allowed the bugs to give me an annoying sense of…

    The weather has been cloudy the last couple of days, so it is not so inspiring to do much at the beach or even the pool…. So, not much to say about the day, but here are some pics from the afternoon. [sthumbs=3738|3739|3740|3741|3742|3743|3745|3746|3747|3748|3749|3750|3751|3752|3753,max,3,y,center,]

    Our days seem to focus mostly on being pool-side and then a venture down to the D’Mall. I need to remember to take a better picture of the D’Mall area, but anyway, yesterday wasn’t really too exciting. I got up reasonably early for breakfast and then did some work until my computer battery died by…

    Day 5 A day of recovery from the crazy White Russians was required. So, it was mostly a pool day. We did manage to go down to D’Mall for some pizza dinner and we explored the beachfront a bit more. However, that was about all the excitement for the day. 😀 [simage=3701,200,n,center,] Oh, we did…

    Day 3 On Saturday, R and I just relaxed and hung out in the Makati area without venturing too far out. We didn’t really do anything of interest and thus  didn’t take many photos, but it was a good day to relax and to save up energy. Little did we know what the next day…

    After a brief rest in the morning, I had originally planned to just do some exploring of the immediate area of Makati. However, when I requested a map from the front desk asking how to get to different parts of town, they suggested that I do a three-hour tour where I could see the highlights…

    I arrived last night in Manila and am staying in the Makati area of town. Since I arrived late, I do not yet have an pics to share, but my first impressions are as follows: *People are quite friendly, though not necessarily helpful *Crossing the street seems to be an act of taking your life…

    I am trying to continue to catch up on posts in my ‘draft’ box that I set aside to write on later while mixing in posts about my current life adventures. So, forgive me if I seem a little more random than usual. A while ago, I was catching up on the blogs/websites that I…
