Chasing Sheep: April 23-26, 2012: Boracay!

April 23-26, 2012: Boracay!

This year's first attempt to having a vacation! This was when I realized that it's pretty much impossible to escape in the middle of work. Also that adventurous vacations are not as enjoyable when you want to take a break from the chaos in your head. I spent most of my time sleeping by the beach and getting burnt.

Best thing about this trip was being with my best best best beeeesssttt friends since grade school! We are definitely travelling back in time very soon to give our 12 year old selves a high five.

Morning of the flight. Woke up reaaally early at Chaz' house in Antipolo.

So many people...

So blurry and dark

Catching up to the sun rise at the Clark terminal. SO BEAUTIFUL

Yoly is a Beatle

Reg being sleepy and graceful

Landed! It was rainy which I didn't mind because the rest of the trip was going to be HOT

Chazzywaz

We got this oyster boat + a bus ride for 250 pesos!

Look at how fucking amazing it is inside

Trike ride to the hotel

First photograph!

We had to cross this tiny alleyway to get to the beach.

Low tide

If there was one thing I disliked about the beach in Boracay (this particular one, at least) was that the waves weren't nasty and the tide was low :c

People blocking my view!!

Crushed sand turtle

So many stuff...

I skipped a few days of shooting and ended up having a foggy lens + sensor because I kept my camera inside our room for a day. We always put the airconditioning in the room at FULL BLAST.

Awkward breakfast seating

ERAS

They all went to buy food etc. I was stuck making sand typography.

I sucked.

Time for island hopping!

The ride was too bumpy and I didn't want to take my camera out. But we saw the prettier hotels and Manny Pacquiao's beach house. People also kept waving at us like we're all good friends. Hahaha I loved that

Anj is such a proper lady

Yoly is such a proper man

Smexy

My face is always overexposed

We found a deserted beach front!!!!

Time to fuck shit up

and collect pebbles. Iactually went under the rock full of hermit crabs and something fell on my shoulder. I FREAKED OUT GAH.

The Buff Baby Finn Trio! My god, we are SO c00l, we memorized the dance and song.

Then we had to leave to to snorkel

That's me, surveying the water......... I didn't even know I was doing that until I saw this. Hahahahahaha Everyone hopped in the boat to sunbathe and I kept snorkelling. I saw a puffer fish!!!!

Anj and her starfish. Idk how she got it!

You can't see it clearly, but my face was RED

For Bea.

Yoly + Choriburger + Anj

Low tide again

We found cheaper shakes the next day! The shack was in front of our hotel all along

YUMMMM

This was how blue the water was.

Back at our tree doing sleepy stuff

Waiting for our banana boat

Reg at the speed boat to take our pictures

bangs everywhere

It was just really really fast

So squinty

Then off to our paraw to watch the sun set

He's been paraw sailing for 15 years

Through sun glasses

Tiny paraw from afar

Then a closer one

Boats!

MY FAVORITE BOAT. It's named "Booty" HEHEHEEHEH

It looks gross at night, to be honest. hahaha

The next morning, we had crepes. Delicious and cheap crepes.

Tomato, basil, mozzarella. mmmmm

Nikki and I got henna tattoos the day before. She slept with the back of her hand on her face and had a duplicate on her left temple. HAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH SO FUNNY
