boracay bound

a few months ago, our british boss gave everybody an approval during a supervisors' meet to take each of our teams out for fun using the department's annual budget. we initially thought of the typical 'dinner' or 'bar' out w/ our staffs until he eventually mentioned 'boracay'.

a few days later after, one of the teams booked for boracay. ultimately, everyone got hooked on the idea our boss suggested so we all went to bora!

my team converged w/ another for the better fun of it. so the other team had to fit our scheduled days off so we can all go together. our total man count was 18. we booked a flight out to bora from nov 12-14.

it was my first time to step foot on this very famous tropical island so i felt so giddy the night before i hadn't had much sleep. for the preparations, luckily, my 2 kumares lent me some of their 2-piece bathing suits so i didn't have to worry what to wear there.

we all met at the domestic airport in manila at 8am for our cebu pacific flight to kalibo at 930am. the flight was brief, afterwhich, we rode a bus to caticlan. the bus ride was lenghty so i had time to nap having only slept 2 hours back home. we arrived in caticlan before noon. we took a very brief boat ride to the island & waited for awhile at the dock for one of our officemates who didn't reach the airport on time & had to travel by herself.

as soon as she arrived, we rode one of the white mini buses who drove us straight to the beach. wow. boracay was indeed magnanimously beautiful.

our 'bora' experts booked rooms at the 'bans resort' located at station 1 which was so conveniently located just a few steps from the shoreline and very close promixity to the restos & bars.
