Apr 08

I was in a meeting when Jay texted me asking what time daw labas ko. I was curious about the question because I know, he knows my shift. And for the first time, he asked me about it. I wondered why he had to ask that. But I just replied. And then asked him kung matutuloy siya on that night para sumakay nang barko papunta dito sa Manila. That's what he told me, na tuesday night ang alis niya sa CDO, and by thursday, andito na siya sa Manila. He answered that tuloy siya.

And then, after that reply, he then asked me kung magkikita ba kami today. Lalo akong napaisip. Paano kami magkikita eh wala pa naman siya dito. Doon na ako nagtaka. Tinawagan ko agad siya. When he answered, I heard a noisy background and it sounded like it was an airport noise. And guess what, nasa airport na nga siya. He was planning to surprise me pala but he asked a wrong question kaya nahuli ko din siya. And he just laughed about it. It was sweet though to surprise me kahit nabulilyaso. Hehe.

This is it. Jay will finally be here in an hour. Gusto niyang magkita kami pagdating niya as he wants me to be the first person that he's gonna be with pagdating niya dito. He planned to pick me up at work paghatid niya nang gamit sa baclaran when he arrives. Although alam kong may konting lagnat siya at pagod sa biyahe, I wanted to see him na din kaya pumayag ako. It was sweet of him to say those things and to do such effort.

Pagdating niya sa Northgate to pick me up, it was a romantic moment for me. To see him again, and for him to know where I work, and to spend his time with me on the day he arrived here, it was a magical feeling. Although walang scene but inside of me was a moment I cannot forget. We then went to festival Mall to have our lunch together.

We had our lunch at Serye dahil pihikan sa pagkain si Jay. Madaming bawal. We went to Pizza factory first pero wala siyang nagustuhang food kaya we transfer. As always, food is great at Serye especially their BBQs. After our lunch, we stralled muna pampatunaw nang kinain and checked some new clothes sa F&H, Oxygen, and Solo. He wanted to buy a new shirt but we weren't able to find a good shirt for him.

We then decided to watch a movie since it was still ear. We chose Forbidden Kingdom dahil mahilig sa action movie si Jay. Although I'm not a fan of action movies, I enjoyed it lalo na kay Jackie Chan who is always encorporating humor in his movies. Maganda actually yung movie at hindi lang siya puro asian action scenes. Namawis nga yung kamay ko dahil hindi binitawan ni Jay the whole time we were watching. Humihigpit ang hawak kapag action scenes na. Hehe.

After manood, we went to Watsons para bumili nang mga toiletries niya. At that time, antok na ako at galing pa akong work at wala pa masyadong tulog. Pero siyempre, I won't waste the chance to be with him kaya balewala ang pagod at antok pag kasama mo ang mahal mo. Pero siyempre, since alam niyang may pasok pa uli ako, after buying his stuff, hinatid na niya ako sa sakayan at umuwi na kami pareho. Pagdating ko nang house, bulagta na agad ako sa kama at nagtext na lang ako nang goodnight.

It was a great day for us. I love being with him. It always feels good when I'm beside him. I feel a different person pag kasama ko siya. I turn into a child feeling safe and secured whenever he is around. He's always been a comfort to me, making me feel so good about life. Till we see each other again on friday as we hit the road and sail to the island of Puerto Gallera....

I LUVVVVVVVVVV the video for "No Air"

Jordin Sparks can sing her little idol behind off and of course Chris can do no wrongs in my eyes... Well except if he did Rhianna ugh. LOL. Forgive me for my inappropiateness. Hehe.

The song itself is currently number one in my head... Right next to Usher's new song Love In This Club... But when I saw the video I knewwwwwwww it was going to be a classic. I can't even hate on Jordin being on whats mines 'coz she definitely did her thing.

Check out their cool video. They are currently #3 at Myx International Top Ten as of last week. Hope they get the #1 spot. The song/video was very impactful. See/Hear for yourself...

This coming friday, once Jay arrives here in Manila, we will go and have our time together in Puerto Gallera. Another summer adventure for us before we hit the island of Palawan in end of May. The "travellers" are set again to hit the road for another escapade.

I am excited though because it will be another well spent time with Jay. We both love the beach and this excites us everytime we plan to hit one. I can't wait for that day to come so him and I could be together again. Hazel, Kate and her boyfriend will join us on Saturday so it would be more fun with friends on the side.

Wishing for a fun, fun, fun gallera adventure for us. Go! Go! Go!

Finally, after waiting for four months for his transfer to Manila, it is now gonna happen in the next coming days. He is now set to conquer the city and to be close to me. I can't wait to be with him. This is what all I've asked for.

It's mixed emotions dahil pareho kaming madaming iniisip about his transfer here. Ako, iniisip ko yung safety niya dahil hindi naman siya taga dito, baka mamaya may magtake advantage sa kanya, or manloko. Iniisip ko din yung culture transition. Yung pace nang buhay sa manila compare sa Mindanao. Somehow, iniisip ko din na mas madaming temptation dito na makakaharap niya. Iniisip ko yung place na titirhan niya. All of these on how he will survive and be the best person for this new chapter in his life.

But again, I know him. He is a survivor. He is a strong person. He has been through a lot and I know he will be able to face all the challenges here. I hope that he can adjust quickly and makasabay sa agos nang buhay sa Manila. And lastly, I hope he can resist all the temptation that lies within the metropolis. I trust him. And I know he will not ruin that trust I gave him.

Now, it's gonna be easier for us na maglakwatsa at magpunta kung saan saan dahil andito na siya. We will have more quality time and more chance to get to know each other. I can say now that we can strengthen more our relationship dahil mas malapit na kami sa isa't isa. Pwede na kaming madalas magkita. I am excited. I am happy about this. Thank God He has finally answered my prayer. Welcome to Manila Jay!!!!

My dog is growing so fast. Parang kailan lang, ang liit liit pa niya. He has grown a lot and naging sobrang kulit and playful. Not only that, sobrang takaw din. Favorite past time na siya nang mga tao sa house. Everyone is taking care of him. Spoiled!!!

Sobrang kulit ni mommy to have us bring Thokie sa clinic for his anti-rabbies injection. He wants to have the paper of the dog and to know his exact birth. Since I bought him paperless, I don't know exactly when is his birthday. So I asked Ka-ye how old Thokie is, and she told me that he's 4 months old already. Wow! 4 months na siya!!! (So December yun, parang after namin magkita ni Jay sa Mindanao. Hehe. Ito na yung baby namin. Ang galing. Sakto!!!)

So the next day when I slept at Jem's house at doon kami nagovernight, I called my sister to bring Thokie at sunduin ako sa SM Southmall para dalhin namin siya sa Animal House sa Festival Mall. Pagdating doon, Thokie was just behave while seeing other cute dogs being groomed and washed. My dog is ready for his next set of shots.

I am so proud of Thokie. He did not even cried nang inenjectionan na siya. I wasn't able to look at ako ang nasasaktan for him. Kung ako yun, hay, baka hinimatay na naman ako. Hehe. The doctor asked us to return after 2 weeks for another set of shots para macomplete na. Hay, ang gastos nang aso ko ha. Naka 1 thousand plus na naman ako. At meron na naman next week. Anyways, it's all worth it. Thokie is such a treat to me and my family.

To our next clinic visit....

Ang usapan, sasamahan ako ni Jem sa Manila para maghanap nang apartment ni Jay. Since I have work nang saturday at 11am pa labas ko, after shift, magkikita na kami. However, things have changed dahil sobrang napagod ako sa work. So I decided to go home and take a shower first. Kaya lang, pag-uwi ko at pagpasok nang room, nakita ko ang bed ko at parang nagsasabing, "Halika, humiga ka sa akin...". Ayun, humiga nga ako, and guess what, nakatulog ako.

Mga 4pm, ginising ako ni mommy dahil may bisita daw ako. Inisip ko agad kung sino. Nung sumilip ako sa bintana, si Jem at si Onica, nasa gate namin!!! Waaah. Balikwas ako. Sinundo ako nang mga prinsesita. Hala. Di talaga makatiis. Gusto talagang umalis. Gusto na naman magpichuran.

And I am right, punta daw kami Tagaytay. wala lang. Naisipan lang nila. At magred daw ako dahil naka red na sila. Color themed?!. Hehe. Naligo at nagbihis ako nang mabilis at maggagabi na daw. And I have to bring some stuffs dahil kina Jem daw magoovernight. Goodluck sa akin, wala pa ako enough sleep. Pero sige, for the sake of photo session, go ako!!!

We arrived in Tagaytay mga 5:30pm na. Padilim na rin pero sige, pumunta pa rin kami nang people's park. Pagdating, picture na agad. What can you expect. And see below our latest CAMWHORES SESSION...

Test shot lang ito, pero todo pose na kami ni Jem. Hehe

Dahil gutom na kami, pumunta na kami nang Dencio's for dinner.

At dahil ang tagal nang order namin, picture picture muna kami.

Ang sarap nang pineapple at iced tea shake namin ni Onica.

This is after our dinner. Busog na busog kami ni Onice. Sarap nang sisig!!!

The attack of the CamWhores in Tagaytay!!!

At siyempre, pati tindahan nang mga bulaklak, di namin pinatawad. Hehe.

To the next adventure of the Cam Whores!!! Woohoo!!!

Finally, after preparing everything for this project, it has been officially launched at our site. This has made me very busy lately as I was making sure that everything's gonna work well. From preparing the documents, to working with workforce for the schedule, I have envisioned this and I want to make it happen.

I now have launched the Champions League of Gallup at work. A team composed of different Gallup champions from different team from different product areas. This project has been supported by my Senior Leader and his effort to make this a reality was overwhelming.

My work is really making a lot of changes in me. I've been very passionate to my job and hopefully, it pays off in the future. I love my work. I love my team. I love my boss. I love my new project. I LOVE WACHOVIA!!!

Raech, K.G., Bess, Hazel and I decided to watch a movie after our shift. We all then decided to watch Manay Po 2. I am not really a fan of tagalog movies pero avid fan ako ni Ruffa Mae Quinto dahil sobrang naaliw ako sa kanya kaya gusto ko din panoorin this movie.

I was able to watch Manay Po sa t.v. before habang walang mapanood. Kaya somehow, may idea ako sa story kaya malilink ko itong part two nila. And as expected, sobrang aliw nang movie. Tawa to the max kami especially Raech na napakababaw nang kaligayahan. Minsan sa kanya na ako natatawa eh. Hehe. At si Bess, kinikilig kay John Pratts. Wahaha.

If you like to lessen your stress, watch this movie, or get a copy. Sobrang nakakatawa siya. It was worth of our time and money. Till our next movie trip!!!

[Btw, I used to call him BUQUIQANG, but he didn't like that, so I stopped it. Hehe.]

“Being Gay” is different from “To be Gay”, and for me, what is fundamental to a person is his tendency To Be Gay. There are qualities that are innate in a person, tastes we acquire, and tastes we are born with. We are born innocent, and with this innocence we assume non-commitment and non-decision to things and events, until experienced. Therefore, once this tendency is nurtured by experience with people, places and things, a decision is formed consciously or subconsciously. This is not to discount your argument that “gayness” is in-born, but this only to allow free will to exist, that must not at any time be judged as an abominating furrow or outre. We decide things we accept (I think Barbie looks beautiful). We accept things we consider truth (Barbie is really beautiful). Hence, we allow our innate qualities to be contested by our later acquired taste, and make decisions coinciding our nature, its content, and its strength. (I want to have a Barbie because she is beautiful, but I can never look like her so I don’t want to be a Barbie).

(note: my example is so gay. For the record, I never liked Barbie, and never had one hahaha)

How much does having a family weigh against the choice to be gay? A person may be gay but he may well want to have a family. When he chose the latter, he is not deviating from his nature, because the latter is also his nature. Thus, there must exist a decision, a priority list, a logical game we have to complete.

In regard to self-acceptance, It being a battle is a possibility. But for me, considering a lot of factors is just part of a process towards realizing which weight greater when we present ourselves choices. I call it Managing Consequences, rather than making myself believe it is battle-like that one choice is not me, and the other is me, when both are me, or partly me. This resolves a dilemma of phantasmagoria. When one chose to have a family, with inkling of him being gay, that may be bad, but that’s just a probability. Other married gay guys, have long resolved the issues about themselves before marrying and few confessed to their wives before facing the sacrament. This is not to alter the long time hypothesis that if a gay man married a woman, he is a fool. But this is just to give liberty that might resolve the flaws of the said argument, thatis… it is not always the case. You may ask one gay man: Do you have regrets having yourself closeted for all your life just to be normally right, be married and have kids? And one might answer: Is it not true, that even straight guys, in some cases, have lived all his life not being with the right woman, but lived normally right, had kids, and before he died said “I made the right choice”? Again, it is because there had to exist a decision. What I call battle here, is when one live with a credo that he can have everything he wishes for and everything he wants, when in fact everyone, straight or not straight, have to make sacrifices for a more ultimate goal. And what he might sacrifice, is not what he denies, but it is just what he can forego.

I agree that acting manly or effeminate may well be a pre-disposition too, and concurrently, in-born. That is because, we are of many names, we are of with many different groups. One is a brother, one is a corporate manager, one is a son, one is a painter, one is a catholic, and he is just One of different names, though many may believe that being gay is a way of life, but showing it is not necessarily a prerequisite to Living Gay, besides WHAT ARE THE OFFICIAL GAY ACTS? WHO SAID THAT GAY MUST BE SWISHY? DO WE HAVE OUR OWN GAY CONSTITUTION?. When one decides not to show his gayness at work (assumption: gayness is what you think gayness is; limitation: living is not necessarily showing), we can logically equate this to a depressed straight husband not showing his boss and his friends his surge of negative emotions. If you decide to call it, one being not true to himself. Then you just made yourself an entry to the world of lies. I warn you, the more you relate things and people to your own concept of lies, the more you infer people being untrue, the little your world becomes true.

The subject matter is tricky. I don’t want to be gay, but based on what I feel, I know that I am not straight. I live the way a straight man would. Given the choice, do I wish to become a full-pledge straight man? Yes I would. But the problem is, I know I am not, because I also get sexually attracted to other men. To some, they’ll just simplify it. I am bisexual, end of story. But you know what, I won’t even use that word because it’s an escapist term for me. It’s either you’re gay or straight. Since I get turned on by men, and on that note, that would mean I am gay. But what if I am compared to a man who insists that he is straight and claims that he is very much secured with his sexuality but gets to bed with other men just for the kicks… would one actually equate him as “straighter” than me, considering what he’s been doing against what I did not?

Okay, lengthy post. Sumakit ang ulo ko.

So maybe, based on experience, I can say that yes, you have a choice of acting straight and living straight. But these actions are just preventive reactions against your natural emotions, because unfortunately, emotions are something that you cannot fool or control. Living straight does not necessarily make you straight...

It all started when I saw this commercial of Piolo Pascual with Clear Shampoo, where he was a cupid, strucking people with his love arrow, wearing just black attire and with black wings. Whapakk!!! The next thing in my mind was to be like a black angel!!!

Don't get me wrong, I'm not a fan of Piolo Pascual nor angels. But suddenly, I got fascinated with winged creatures. I even asked my friend Raech if she knows a store that creates black wings. And guess what, she knows a store that makes such stuff. I guess I'm ready for 2008 Christmas Party already. Hehe.

But kiddin' aside, I have this new addiction of watching and listening to a new winged commercial. That's the new Coke ad with an addictive song "Ang saya dito". It shows an angel wanting to try Coke as she sees people having a great taste of it. And when she finally tried it, she become a mortal, then meeting a guy who just turned himself human too after drinking a coke, whom is a former devil. Isn't it cute!

Here is the lyrics of the song "Ang saya dito":

Lilipad na ako
Sabayan niyo ako
Ang sarap dito
Sa pupuntahan ko
Bubuhos na ang saya
Tayo na, sumama ka
Ang sarap dito
Sa pupuntahan ko

Sawa na 'ko sa dati
Naiinip parati
Wala na 'kong magawa
Dito'y sawang-sawa

Ayoko na sa gan'on
Lahat sobrang tahimik
Gusto ko ng mas maingay
Tumikim na ng tunay

Ang uhaw ko sa laro
Parang biglang na-pawi
Wala na ring hapdi
Nakangiti na lagi

Pananabik sa bagong buhay
Bigla na lang naabot
Nang tumikin ako ng tunay
Nawala na ang bugnot

Tikman mo
Ang sarap dito
Tikman mo
Ang sarap dito

As to finding the relevance of this new addiction, I am wondering if I'm gonna soar high in the future, or I just want to fly and forget about things in the earth for a while... Let's see what it is...

I somehow feel that I am lost. With life or maybe in love. I feel I am in the cross roads with one intersection after the next. Should I go left? Right? Straight ahead? Or back? With work, it's easy though. You just envision where you wanna go, make sure you're ready for the drive then just go for it. It's all in the mind. You are in control of the journey, despite curveballs thrown your way.

But with love? Ahh, that's tricky. Where should I go? Left? Right? Should I go straight for it? Plunge in? Or take a step back? Even when you have choices, it feels like you really don't. Unlike everything else in life, where the mind leads, the heart doesn't always follow. They say you can't choose who you fall in love with, but you choose who you are. If i plunge in, if I let myself truly, madly, fall in love, will I like the person I see when I'm looking through the eyes? Or the eyes of another?

And if I don't, if I choose a different path, take the one on the left, or the right, or maybe a step back, what will become of me? Will I devoid myself of the chance to be truly, blissfully happy? What of my heart and the rare occurrences of falling in love?

When your heart and your mind is in disagreement, which should you follow? One offering you the chance to be happy right here, right now. Or the other, sparing you of the heartache and the consequences that are yet to come.

But maybe, just what my friend said, all I need is that one moment. One perfect moment. One memory that will find meaning in my life. The "before sunrise" moment.

To borrow one of my favorite lines from that movie:

"I mean, it's not so bad if tonight is our only night, right? People always exchange phone numbers, addresses, they end up writing once, calling each other once or twice...

Jesse: Right. Fizzles out. Yeah, I mean, I don't want that. I hate that.
Céline: I hate that too, you know.
Jesse: Why do you think everybody thinks relationships are supposed to last forever?
Céline: Yeah, why. It's stupid. "

The Promiscuous and the Murano will soon pack their bags and start travelling again. After hitting the famous beach of Boracay, we are again set to travel another location in the country, which is Palawan...

Jay and I decided to cancel our Siargao trip because Jem and Jhen backed out from the trip due to their personal reasons. It should be for next week already, but since Jay is also expected to arrive here in Manila, destiny has also played a part of canceling the said plan.

So we arranged our May plans and one of it will be to go to Palawan. Since Legend Palawan Hotel offers a very good rate, as well as Cebu Pacific, we booked our hotel and flight as early as last week so we no longer need to worry about this trip. So everything is confirmed and we are all set!!!

This is gonna be our first time in Palawan that's why we are both excited. We are planning to get some tours as I heard that places there are terrific and I can't wait to see them all.

We may try the underground river and the honda bay/snake island. My friends told me that these spots are quite famous there. Since our hotel is located in the center of Puerto Prinsesa's city, these may be the places where we can have some swim and fun under the sun.

It was my dream to visit Palawan. Now that I have the chance, I will make the most out of it. I have declared this year as my Philippine Exploration year. After visiting Mindanao spots before last year ends, I am taking my feet to other places I've never been. And of course, together with Jay who also loves travelling.

So let's see what's in store for us next month. May 23-25, 2008. I hope Jhen can join our trip so it would be more fun for us. Get ready Palawan, here we come!!!

Dedicated to my one and only...

At last, natuloy na din sa wakas ang Bora trip namin ni Jay. Ang daming hassle bago natuloy lahat. But all in all, it was worth of all the troubles. Jay and I had a great time in Boracay after more than 2 months of not seeing together.

Jhen, Pam, R.J. and I arrived in Bora siguro mga hapon na. Galing pa akong shift from work, deretso na sa airport for my 2:10pm flight, which was moved then to 3:10pm. Sinundo na lang ako ni Jhen sa work at mineet na lang namin sa airport si R.J. at si Pam. We immediately checked-in our bags when we arrived.

Effort naman kung idedescribe ko ang ginawang biyahe ni Jay para lang makapunta nang Boracay. Nagbarko siya from CDO to Cebu. Then flight from Cebu to Ilo-ilo, then bus from Ilo-ilo to Caticlan. Then boat from Caticlan to Boracay. Mga 9:30pm na siya nakarating nang hotel. Pagkadating, pinagpahinga ko muna then we went out to have our dinner. Siyempre, as strict to diet si Jay, sa Mang Inasal kami kumain for their grilled chicken. After, we slept na, siguro mga 11pm na nun, because maaga pa kami the next day for our island hopping.

6am, tumatawag na sa akin yung kinontrata naming boat. Dali-dali na kami nag-ayos, lahat kami excited to start the day in Boracay. We went to Puca beach first where no one was there yet but us. Ako, the usual me, hindi pinalagpas ang mga beautiful scenes, photo shoot mode agad ako. Sila Jhen at R.J. naman, naligo na agad. Then, punta naman kami sa isa pang island na parang nasa Phuket ka lang because of it's beautiful island settings. First activity of the day pa lang, sulit na sulit na. It was fun dahil lahat kami, game sa photo session.

Pagkatapos, tinawag na kami for our snorkeling activity daw. Wala naman masyadong corals kaya di na din kami nagtagal. At tsaka bobo kasi ako magsnorkeling at di ako marunong nung breathing system niya kaya pina-ahon na ako ni Jay. Hehe. In a few minutes, they decided to leave na and return to our hotel.

Nagbrunch na kami ni Jhen pagbalik nang hotel while R.J. and Jay went somewhere to have their brunch. After, naligo na ako sa room while the three of them eh nagswimming pa. Ako, ayoko, di ko kaya ang init nang araw nang ganung oras. Although I went out din naman after I took a bath and changed kasi boring naman kung doon lang ako sa room. Pagbalik ko, nagpapamasahe na si Jhen sa beach at naliligo pa din si R.J. sa dagat at desididong magpaitim. So, Jay and I decided to stroll around and do our pasalubong shopping.

Ang sarap maglakad lakad lang, lalo na pag kasama mo yung mahal mo. Siyempre, andaming tumitingin sa katawan ni Jay kasi fit na fit. Ako, dedma lang. Hehe. May konting selos pero proud kasi andaming tumitingin sa mahal ko. Sorry na lang dahil ako ang may-ari nang tinitingnan nila. Hehe. Although alam ni Jay na seloso ako kaya he does not entertain those lookers. Ako, inenjoy ko ang pamamasyal kasi nakaka-aliw ang mga tindahan, lalo na sa D'Mall. Ang laki na talaga nang pinagbago nang Bora from the last time I was there three years ago. Andami nang bagong establishments, hotels, stores, restaurants na dati, wala pa.

Nabili ko na agad nang pasalubong ang mga taong dapat kong bigyan. My mom na sobrang spoiled sa pasalubong lagi, my sister, my cousin, my team and my boss. I got great deals (as usual, using the charm power in tawaran) and great time with Jay. We then went back to the beach where R.J. and Jhen are waiting for us dahil pupuntahan namin yung isang hotel where they will stay in on our last night.

Pagkatapos, nag-afternoon swim muna kami ni Jay dahil wala nang araw, while Jhen went back to our hotel to take a nap, and R.J. met some of his friends there for some drinks. Nang mapagod na ako, bumalik na rin kami sa room ni Jay. After taking a bath, I decided to upload some pictures na sa laptop dahil baka mapuno na yung camera. Surprisingly, and unexpectedly, nakatulog kami ni Jay at nagtuloy tuloy na siya hanggang kinaumagahan. In short, our friday night was spent on our bed. Great!!!

The next morning, Jhen, Jay and I decided to have an early morning swim. But before that, we had our breakfast first. Buong gabi kami ni Jay hindi kumain kaya gutom na kami. Hay! Itong Jay, nakakainis, pagkabangon, sige sit-ups agad. Napaka vain! Hehe. Hindi naman lumalaki ang tiyan kahit anong kain pa niya. Kainis!!!

Ang sarap talaga maligo sa umaga. Low tide, less people, walang mainit na araw, at tama lang ang lamig nang tubig. Meron pa kaming sinubukang seaweed scrub. Hehe. Siyempre, pauso na naman ni Jay, good for skin daw. So sige kami pulot nang mga seaweeds at kinuskos sa mga balat namin. In fairness, masarap siyang pangscrub. Hehe. Then Jhen asked us for a stroll while R.J. was still sleeping at our room. So non stop picture kaming tatlo, at pasyal kung saan saan hanggang mangalay ang paa namin. Ang dami naming binalak gawin like mag banana boat ride, mag-kayak, magpahena. Pero sa daming options, hindi namin alam kung ano ang uunahin kaya halos lahat nakalimutan gawin. Saya diba! Hehe.

Pagkatapos naming dalhin si Jhen sa D'Mall, the two of them wanted to swim again. My god, that was like 11:30am, katirikan nang araw. Hay! So wala akong choice dahil dalawa sila kundi sumunod. Pero, mabait talaga si Lord, nakahanap ako nang hut at doon ako tumambay. Hinayaan ko silang dalawa na magbabad sa tubig at araw. Suddenly, narealize ni Jhen na baka gising na si R.J. kaya bumalik na kami. Pagdating ko sa room, sobrang sakit na nang ulo ko. Para na siyang binibiyak. Kaya nagstay muna kami ni Jay hanggang mawala siya. Jay was sweet to massage my head until mawala yung sakit. Hindi niya tinigilan, and I was impressed kung gaano siya katiyagang magmasahe. Napakalambing talaga nang asawa ko.

Nang magutom na ako, umalis na kami nang room para maglunch. Kumain kami sa isang mongolian restaurant, and guess what, sobrang sarap nang food nila. I ordered some beef and rice something in a bowl na may mga veggies on the side. Ngayon lang uli ako nakakain nang gulay na naenjoy ko. Hehe. After, nilakad naman ang buong stretch nang Boracay dahil wala naman kaming magawa ni Jay. Picture to the max na lang. At di ko na masukat kung gaano kalayo ang nilakad namin. Sabagay, pampapayat din yun. Hehe.

Nang mapagod, nakahanap kami nang spot where there was two chairs and a table and just facing the beach in the heat of the sun. We stayed there for 30mins, at naka-idlip kami pareho while just holding each others hands. One of the sweet moments that I can treasure in our boracay escapade. However, biglang may gumising sa aming waiter at tinatanong kung ano daw order namin. Since busog pa kami, we did not order and left the place.

Then Jhen texted us that R.J. was experiencing sunburn and has some fever. Naghanap na agad kami nang sunburn gel ni Jay. Since wala kaming matanaw na drugstore where we were at that time, Jay decided to go to the city proper and look for a drugstore. Funny, dahil nang sumakay kami nang tricycle and asked to bring us to the nearest drugstore, after some miles of ride, ibinaba kami sa kanto papasok nang D'Mall. There, was a drugstore na bigla kong naalala na nakita ko na pala. Hehe.

Pagdating namin sa room, binigay na agad kay Jhen yung gel para ipahid kay R.J., while Jay and I took a bath and changed na. Ilang minuto lang, bigla nang tumaas ang lagnat ni R.J. kaya Jhen and Jay went out to buy some stuffs; Gatorade for dehydration, medicines for the fever, and food for their dinner. R.J. and I left in the room. Since I'm not good in taking care of sick people, pinatulog ko muna siya, while I watched the first telecast of the Pinoy Idol. Mga 1 hour nang makabalik si Jay at si Jhen.

We left Jhen and R.J. sa room, and we went out to have our dinner on our last night. Gutom na gutom na ako nun but we decided to look for a place na medyo romantic since hindi kami magkasama last valentines. We found the right place at the Bamboo Lounge, where the setting is in the shore facing the sea. Very romantic yung set-up, while we had our moment together. Eating, kuwentuhan, dreaming, and talking about our relationship. It was a nice time with Jay after not seeing him for the longest time. We went back to our hotel dahil kawawa naman yung dalawa because they are spending again their another night in the room. Natulog na din agad kami ni Jay dahil maaga pa ang alis niya para habulin ang trip to CDO.

Jay left the next morning around 5:45am. It was sad dahil magkakahiwalay na naman kami but somehow, I've thought of the memories we had and realized that we had a great time together. Mas lalo ko pang nakilala nang lubos si Jay. In a few weeks time, magkakasama na rin kami uli, and this time, pangmatagalan na, dahil lilipat na siya sa Manila. For Jay and me, Boracay was the best place for us to have our first summer together.

Till our next summer adventure in Palawan this May!!!
