looking back, boracay seemed so impossible place for us to go, especially this year, with all the lay-offs going on, no overtime rules, leave enforcement all because of the turmoil in the US economy. that time i was still with an automotive american firm and that really hit our company hard. still we did not loose hope. char... it sounds as if going to boracay is the most important thing on earth. i just refuse to think that there's no life beyond the crisis the depression is offering or that we have no right to enjoy when hope is the only right we have during such times. why can't we hope and enjoy at the same time. bwahahaha...
they always say prices soar high when you go there during peak season, so we planned the trip months ahead. the date of the trip was based on the following criteria: the month should be off-peak, should have at least 1 holiday that will occur on a friday/ monday, ample time to save up (should be atleast 2 mo. before we decide to book our accomodation). coming up with the date was a little hard decision, there were 2 dates were looking at and it was all in june. not until i have booked a june 12-16 round trip tickets. the downside however of the decision was, the seat sale automatically closed in the moment i purchased my ticket on line. the group had no choice but to stick with the date but take a different route. i felt bad, but im just happy to know they decided to stick with me (and tito). they could've decided to take on the other date but thank goodness they didn't. hehe... after our tickets have been booked, lotte moved in and displayed her talent in hunting for superb accomodation. the booking she made was thru email and it was built in trust mostly because you really don't know the person you're dealing with. of course, lotte researched the reputation of the orchid resort and because they were good, we agreed to book at the said dates.
few days before june12, chakka backed out. celeste almost did but because she had an assignment (job related) in boracay, she decided to join the group. if only AH1N1 did not swarm the philippines, chakka wouldn't have missed the experience. hehe
tales up... i'll write about the trip on my next blog, this will my first blogging saga... wekekeke

bora is too commercialized for me. i do love the beach but all those bars lining the seafront is not my taste. i still think Apo was the best snorkelling feat ive been to.
im talking about the "sand"... i just posted my bora saga.. wekeke
