Long Overdue - 042206

At 4:23 am, I woke up to the sound of Ever After, my wake up call from Che. I took a quick shower, decided on what to wear, tossed last-minute stuff in my bag, and waited for my (1st) ride care of Peewee and Che. We then went to pick up Arlene and Maja, met up with Jax at Petron (I transferred to Tammy of course), and the next thing we know, we were speeding through SLEX and Star Toll.

Two hours, a pack of Oreo Double Stuff, a bag of potato chips, and 240kph-speed (with me screaming hysterically) later, we were at Peewee's lovely home by the beach.

This is the view from the veranda. No efforts to see and feel summer.

Meet the three couples of our Botete Island (yep, we named the beach after Che) getaway:

Pair # 1. Papa Bear Peewee and Mama Bear Che.

Pair # 2. Dentista Eletistas Arlene and Maja.

Pair # 3. Silly kids AJ and Almay.

The white sand and clear waters were just beautiful, plus it was not so crowded (there was a time when there were practically just us along the shore!), which made it a perfectly relaxing place. Summer bliss. 'Nuf said.

The next day, we visited the fish pen slash educational tour. I have to say this - Peewee is an architect, marine biologist, history major, and a bartender all rolled into one. Pretty versatile huh? So anyway, we went kayaking after. At first Jax was getting irritated with me because I wasn't paddling the right way (sorry kulang ang motor skills) but after a while I got used to it na rin and was able to contribute to making the kayak move forward. Teehee...Super sarap, feeling ko ang powerful ko. Hehe... So yun, we did that for like an hour or so (explains my ulikba-ish skin til now). We even kayaked going to this small island where I stepped on sea urchins (I know, stupid me).

We took a rest in this raft (err.. floating pallet block? couldn't think of a better term) and fell asleep before we went back to the house for lunch and packed up.

Friends, we should've left Friday night. Tsk tsk... Mejo bitin sya but nevertheless so much FUN!!! Che, couldn't thank you and Peewee enough... Sa uulitin ha! *wink!* Arlene, hurry up and get over with your boards! We HAVE to go back to PadreBu!

almay here. i'm 25 and act like it when the stars are aligned. i'm currently attached (and loving it!) to the most spoiled big boy in the world aka jax. i'm an augustinian and an iska. i'm not a party person, more of the dinner-coffee type. i miss dancing though (it's been ages!). i'm a self-confessed crybaby and drama queen. i talk a lot, often even in a language only i could understand. recently, i've turned into that boyish kid. i love cars. i like driving, sometimes alone when i want to get away and think. i have a sweet tooth. give me chocolates with almonds and blueberry cheesecake and i'm yours forever.

(someday soon) i'd like to: swim in the pacific ocean. ride a hot air balloon. be (and drive) in a real racing circuit. sing with a band. have a month-long vacation without having to think about work. see the egyptian pyramids. lie in a bed of roses, literally. climb a mountain. have my own butterfly garden. complete my bath and body collection. finish reading the Bible, cover to cover. be in the set of grey's anatomy. go on a totally unplanned road trip. learn three other languages.

"Maybe we're not supposed to be happy. Maybe gratitude has nothing to do with joy. Maybe being grateful means recognizing what you have for what it is. Appreciating small victories. Admiring the struggle it takes simply to be human. Maybe we're thankful for the familiar things we know. And maybe we're thankful for the things we'll never know. At the end of the day, the fact that we have the courage to still be standing is reason enough to celebrate."
