| | ALICE: But I don't want to go among mad people.
THE CAT: Oh, you can't help that. We're all mad here. I'm mad. You're mad.
ALICE: How do you know I'm mad?
THE CAT: You must be. Or you wouldn't have come here.

To my wild bois and my hot girls,
This has been an amazing travel to kick off my year. Siargao is one of the two places I have been meaning to visit and seeing this lovely teardrop of an island with you is the most perfect plan. 
It really is always better when we're together.

And these I will always cherish …

BOSLEY MOMENT -- As we were waiting for our habal-habal ride, we saw this boy deeply engrossed in pulling a piece of wood with a string attached to it. We had the same thought in mind: it’s a toy car! Thanks for reminding me that everything could just be a matter of perspective. Things could always get crazy on the road but even before they get out of hand, we always hear you saying *O tama na. Okay na yun. Let go.* And that is always enough to bring us back in balance. 

CHARLIE MOMENT -- We were peacefully and quietly walking back to catch our ride after saying hello and goodbye to Cloud 9. Nope! That was not my favorite moment with you, dude! That is not even close to a Tien-Charlie moment! I love *fighting* with you and you should know that. My favorite memories of us is when we *fight*. Anyway, you opened a magazine and you saw this photo of a lovely chick in the very same hut we had in Siargao. You showed it to me telling me that I looked exactly like her. When we are not fighting, we feed each other's egos (I like that too) and you are one of my best cheerleaders. 

KUYA DEX MOMENT -- Aside from your famous Jeepney Moment, I will not forget how you expressed your opinion on what kind of guy I should marry someday (that is, if getting hitched is part of my Things to Do Before I Turn 50 list). I will remember that, maybe you are right. It was a compliment and it somehow made me adore the person I have become -- faults and all. The more we spend time together (on or off the road) I get to see your heart more making me forget EVERYTHING else about you.
BEKSIE -- When Kuya Dex teased you about how you seemed to be competing with me while we were surfing, I could not forget what you replied. You told him how seeing me stood up to ride my first Siargao wave inspired you to surf well too. That made me smile. Women should do that more often -- inspire each other to do things that will make them feel strong and to tell them how they are doing. Never stop learning. Enjoy your Sagada trip, dear. 
ELCH -- Finding seashells...writing our wishes on sand...cris-crossing with you while surfing...winning the Cebu Pacific contest...just some of the great moments to add up on our history of being best friends. We will still stumble a lot for sure. But you know that I got your hand and you got mine. I love you bakla! 
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
The last day was still a challenge for us. Imagine that in less that 12 hours, we had yet another wave-y boat ride before hitting the road via a rough and bumpy jeepney ride and finally into the air via a delayed Cebu Pacific plane ride.
Whew!
Now, don't ask me why the first day back at work will always have us complaining of tired bodies.
I'd take that anytime than a tired soul though. ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ My wonderful friends and I are back on the road a few hours from now. See you all next week. ALWAYS SPREAD THE LOVE, BEAUTIFUL ONES!
oh yeah,happy V day! |
