The Rest... Cliff Notes Style

Yeah yeah i know it's been like 2 months since i got back from the phils. But i'm finally getting around to updating my blog. Because I want to commemorate my trip like I originally planned? No. Because I was reliving my trip on one of my boring mornings at work? Nope.

SO I CAN SPITE MATT ALATIIT. TELLING ME I CAN'T KEEP UP WITH MY BLOG. FUCK YOU BUDDY. TAKE THIS!


So here's the cliff notes for the rest of the trip.

Boracay- WAS STRAIGHT UP B-A-N-A-N-A-S.

It started with the hotel. Boracay Tropics was awesome! Literally 10 steps from the beach, breath taking views, a pool you can spend all day and night in, an awesome restaurant, with great live music every night and a kick ass spa!

The food was again top notch. Ate at a great place for lunch where me and my fam feasted on lobsters. The seafood in Bora was top notch. On our last night me and Anne had a great dinner at a Greek restaurant called Abe. Never thought i'd try raw beef but it was an awesome appy. The lamb was good too.

The night life was crazy as well. Drinking, smoking sheesha and late night swimming in the beach. Definitely one of the best times of my life.

Sounds like a good trip eh? Well I didn't even get to the beach hoping. 5 hour beach hoping trip where we got to explore different islands, 2 caves, go scuba diving and have our own beach to ourselves for lunch!

After Boracay was a family reunion at my mom's province. It was a great time at a pool. And i'll never forget the memories (or the giant callouses i got from playing ball barefoot) I took away from that day.

Then came a week in Cavite. Prepping for my grandparents anniversary. We had to learn a catilion (basically a traditional spanish dance) which sucked. We were forced to spend literally hours a day throughout the week practicing that shit. But in the end it really made my grandparents anniversary so it was all worth it.

The week was littered with nights of getting completely wasted on my grandparents roof... yeah i said roof. but this is not what you're thinking.

A fun little reunion as well were my giant family was split into teams and competed in events. All i cared about was taking home the gold in Basketball which we did.

This was followed with another crazy night in Manila with Hammer Time and Claudine. Shut down a gay comedy and had the best time. That and surprise 4am shiatzu massages was the cherry on the top.

Finally the second to last full day in the phils was quiet the experience with Anne. Touring through Manila in everything from the train, bus, tricycle, JEEPNEY and CAB! haha

This was a life changing trip. Makes me want to go back more often and i hope i'll be able to do that in the future.
