Whew. That was one gibberish paragraph uh blockquote. Now i like using that word — 'gibberish' coz it sounds so intellectual you'd think I know a lot of words (even if I really don't hehe heh!).  I wrote this junk as soon as I can when I got back but didn't post it at once because I kept remembering things. So I waited until I have no more to add.  

Actually the string of phrases posted above would only be meaningful to karen, anne and me and I guess partly to our SGV acquaintances who happened to have had shared those chronological (yep how nerdy) nothings that took place at our beach getaway late last May.  :) For others, it will just be a sea of words - like lorem ipsum with periods abused - but that is okay because the reason I have this post is not to inform nor to entertain nor to sell :P .

I have this post so I won't forget one silly bit.

Except for the fact that we could have died in our parasailing dare, nothing really grand happened. Nothing life changing. Nothing very intriguing. Generally, our vacation was so ordinary, it can't be a movie. But that's okay because I am not a movie star anyway (i just look like one…hehe heh! like a villain `_' !) . Seriously, ordinary is okay because on the surface life is mostly about the mundane, about experiencing those things that happen everyday - that happen to everyone else - and then finding special meaning, a meaning only you fully know of,  that at the end of the day what was ordinary as a whole has become in parts spectacular.  :)

Hehe… too bad I know exactly what you’re saying despite your attempts at being cryptic. And I haven’t even been able to hang out with you even if I, abliet so abruptly, saw you walking past with some grumpy expressions on your face. ^_^

Bora was so much fun! Really, it takes a “Bora” to make anyone’s mundanely life extraordinary. Funny thing is that I had actually been dreading the vacation at the beginning. My initial sentiments turned out to be a big mistake I wasn’t a single bit unhappy of being contradicted of.

So yes, I want to go to Bora again; alas time has come to be back to the boring urban landscapes of carpets, cubicles and (slow) computers. Oh well, maybe vacations cease to become special if they drag on for too long.

Wait, parang sarili ko ‘tong blog ah. Haha! Anyway I’m glad you enjoyed your trip!
