WTP 08 Leg 1-- BORACAY

So we had this trip to Galera last June. Alecz, Poma and I had so much fun that we decided to go on vacay mode and travel on a regular basis. Plan WTP 08 (Wow Tour of the Philippines 2008) was born. Venue for Leg 1: Boracay Island, Malay, Aklan. Ate Vi-inspired ang Leg 1 coz we all can’t get over Vilma Santos’s version of “Where’s the Party?” So ayan, nagkaron na ng mas maraming version ang WTP 08! Wow Tour of the Philippines 2008; Where’s The Party for 2008; and Wellness Guru Alecz, Trina and Poma 2008.

Before proceeding to Bora, we had to make a quick stop-over at my Lolo’s hometown,New Washington, Aklan. Overnight muna kami jan. Made pasyal sa Sampaguita Gardens. Nothing spectacular naman, picture picture lang with too much laughing on the side. Buong hapon we were just singing Ate Vi’s “Where’s the Party”. Gosh!! Made Poma and Alecz taste my ultimate favorite in Aklan, the inihaw na tinapay. Super favorite! “But don’t expect too much”. Come night time, we decided to go to the mall only to find out that the mall closes at 7:30pm. Kagrabe!!!! So ayun, went home nalang to play Taboo! Super dooper fun. Major laugh trip!

alecz: o ayan tinikman ko na, masaya ka na?
poma: okay naman ah

the three of us with Timmy and Tammy

Woke up early the following day. Our drive to bora started around 5 in the morning. We got there around 6 and super thanks to the Microtel staff for the warm welcome (complete with shell necklaces, cool drinks and minty wet facetowels). Tanning to the max followed as we met up with Mela and our new friend Veron. Come night time, we gulped a couple of beers at Tides with the two girls and their friends (now our new friends) Bogus, Mico and Lenny.

Poma and Alecz

Sunday morning was a bit different. Mejo rainy ng konti. And Poma was having a slight fever. So there. I went to D’Mall to get medicines for Poma and to meet up with the rest of our friends. Plan was to invite them over at Microtel nalang and play taboo since it’s raining and Poma was sick. We had fun! Thanks to Alecz for always being the life of everything! So ayun, our friends had their own plans and Alecz and I had to take care of sick Poma. Separate ways muna kami for the afternoon. I heard mass at 4:30pm. Sheth pagbalik ko 40 na ang temperature ng may sakit!! Heat stroke na yata ito!!! Oh looord, panic galore for me.

Taboo match

Spent the night playing the role of a nurse. Regularly checking his temperature, changing his clothes, putting fresh cold towel on his forehead, mga ganyang ka ekekan. Super nervous ako talaga because I wouldn’t know what to do if hindi bumaba ang fever ni Poma. And hello, ung mga sound effects ni Poma while he was still so delirious was driving me insane!!! Si Alecz kahit concerned, he can’t help but laugh at me while I panic! Super funny though, because Alecz has his own way of easing my panic. Mga mini diversions ba! He’ll make patawa or aawayin nya ako mejo para di ko mashado maisip na may patient kami. Anyways…. At around mga 1 in the morning, naging okay na rin naman sha. Thank God!!!

The last day of Leg 1 was a busy one. Of course, pahabol tanning! By this time, nasa airport na all of our friends kasi before lunch ang mga flights nila. (For Mela and Ate Vi, their 11:20 was cancelled. They were given a 7:45 pm instead. Kaloka diba!) Anyways, since 4:30 pa ang flight namin ni Poma and si Alecz 5pm pa, we still had time to swim and make beach chika! Choosy ka pa! I think we had so much fun that we lost track of time. Ohmy, we arrived at the airport at around 4:15. Photo finish! Stressssss grabe. But nalang we were told na maddelay ang flight namin by 1 hour. Normally, that’s not a good thing. Pero this time, wow, what a relief talaga to hear that kind of news.

can't wait for Leg 2

In summary, WTP 08 Leg 1 was a huge success! Super dooper fun spending time at the beach and meeting new friends. Truly we found the party!!!

Watch out for Leg 2 of WTP 08!!

Bongga Bingo!

with Dianne

It started out as a simple Thursday afternoon YM conversation. Poma asked where we’ll spend our scheduled Friday night out. I wasn’t too sure about the answer so I simply said, Fort area. Then there, he said the magic word na.. “BINGO”. Sheth. Para akong nagwala sa office! As in na-excite. I’ve wanted to play bingo but wala ako maisip to invite. Kasi naman diba, mejo weird if you think about it. Imagine nalang, someone texting you, busy ka? Bingo tayo! Hihihi. So anyways, I said yes to Poma’s Bingo invitation. His friend kasi, Rocky, had this Bingo event hosted by PSID class of 2008 in Megamall. So there, I texted everyone (Aleli, Dianne, Francis, Maco and Fatsy) to ditch Fort plans coz we’ll be testing our luck sa Megamall nalang. Good thang talaga they all got excited too!

So okay, okay. Come Friday, super excited na talaga. I was feeling lucky that day. And of course, ang agreement namin ni Poma to share our winnings was reason enough for me to pray so hard na manalo kaming 2!! But the day wasn’t with me. As in. Got stuck sa fire exit. Had to use the stairs at galing ako sa 19^th floor oh and by the way, killer heels pa ha. This girl from the 17^th refused to extend help pa. And to make everything super lovely, muntik kami ma-stuck sa baha ni Poma. Major rain kasi that night. Katakot at kaloka. We don’t even know how we got to Megamall. We simply followed cars with smart-looking drivers. Odiva.

We got there on time! Tamang tama lang for a warm-up game. Kaloka! He was holding 6 cards. Ako naman 4. Pano naman kse, our friends we’re still eating! Anyways…..super fun that night. No one from our group won (boo hoo) pero okay lang coz we had so much fun will all our pagtitili in the world. Laver Bey!!! Hahaha.

We lost!!!

Major thanks to Rocky for the invites!! Let’s make this Bongga Bingo a regular thingaloo! Maybe next time we’ll win na.
