Walang kamatayang Boracay!!!
After a late lunch/ early dinner at Andok’s letchon manok at anik-anik. We was off to the shore. Buy lalush ng Jonah’s shake at isaw.
Sarap!
*Hanep sa dessert!*
Then nag lakad-lakad ulit, naghahanap ng mga bababeng hubad lol, jowk lang.
Shempre photo opps muna bago ang lahat while drowning our sorrows with that over flowing SanMig Light. *Hindi na ako nagtataka kung bakit, sira ang tiyan ko lagi… Shake. Beer. Ice-cream. Beer. Milk. Beer.* Hahahha - But I am still convinced that it is from all that FREE welcome drinks noh! [Galing ba sa poso nawasa yan?]
Sea wind has this nice rustic ambiance. Just beautiful (Libre kasi?) they have a
(Ekkkkkk asa Sorsogon ba ako? Baketttttttt may butanding?)
nice view of the beach (Laging nililinis ng mga beach lumot patrol scavengers kapag umaga and kanilang beach.) And say what, their bar is close to the beach so habang nag su-sunbathing tagay lang ng tagay. They have very friendly and accommodating staff lalo na si ‘Manang’ yong head nila which toro guided me through room categories.
*This I likey -likey!* Paglabas mo may pool na agad!
Secluded!!! Pwedeng-pwede mag skinny dip. [69 kung 69 ang shirt ni chorva...]
[Trying to make sip-sip kay Manang, baka sakaling ma-upgrade ang comp room. Bwahahaha, comp na lang nag-papa upgrade pa?]
This is a full day ‘Fun Day at the shore’ taking pictures of people, making lait to the bf/gf’s na nag HHWNSBPSSP (Holding Hands While Naglalakad Sa Beach Pa-Sway-Sway Pa!) at around 6 we went back to our room, to make hada first, rest, hada, reast and hada ulit. Hahaha gettin’ ready to get drunk with June and Justin.
Actually when I was in Boracay - All I wanted to do is sukatin ng sukatin yong kama! Ganun ako ka-shogod? Recoup kaya no - Kasi diba remember simula ng nag land yong sinasakyan kong sasakyang pang kalawakan sa Menila eh rumampa na ako ng husto na kala mo walang bukas. Oh well I just want to make that 2 weeks vacation worth while no. *Kaya ang lola - rumampa ng gusto - hada dito - hada doon - hada i$ everywhere in the Felepens!* And yesa, after drinking a few bottles of SanMig jinojontok na ang lola. Hehehe, iba na talaga pag nagiging lola tsk! Kaya yong ghettogether namin nila June during those nights eh after 3 drinks pack up na din bwehehehe… Malayo ang lakadin noh! *We used to tambay in Station 2 and 3 - asa 1 ang Sea wind, eh kung makisnap ako habang naglalakad sa buhanginan?* Di nasira na Kinaukasan ko?
Boracay pa din!
After a 45 minute flight from Manila at last Caticlan na!
[May piyesta?]
Utang na loob ayaw ko na sasakay sa bangka, it’s scary! Ang life jacket? Hmmm syrofoam na tinahian lang ng orange na tela hahaha life jacket na! If I only knew, kasi nga diba hindi na ako nakikipag negotiate? Baka kasi makasapak na ako? Hahaha. I thought the boat transfer with Montenegro lines is going to cost me an arm and a leg - Dehins! Just 5 pesos additional naka AC ka, at comfy pa. Sisihin ang aking tour guide/translator!!!
Walang katapusang tricycle ride - hayyyyyss…
Finally! After 48 years, nakarating din kami sa Seawind!
We checked in immediately - autograph at deposit required! Sarap welcome drinks at cold towel na amoyyyy melon! *Lecheng mga welcome drinks na yan! Kaya nasira ang tiyan ko, palibhasa libre?*
*HIKA*
Our room was at the back as in across the lobby as in tatawid ka ng street. Which is a good thing ayaw ko sa beachfront malamok, malangaw at maingay.
Hingal lang kalaban mo, ang taas taas kaya ng hagdanan?
Are we there yet???
I love the Balcony! *This Balcony turns beer garden at night! Wala nga lang babaeng nagsasayaw. TSK.* Hahaha, inom muna sa balkonahe bago lumabas — Yan ang DRILL! Para less ga$to$! Madugo ang bakasyon. Panay gastos ang gagawin mo talaga.
As soon as I got into the room, I first went into the bathroom…
Para manalamin? Vanidosa kasi ako! Hahaha…
Malinis naman! I love the tabo OMG… I want to bring one with me, pero I couldn’t find one for sale. I love the smell of their towels, bango syet!
Want to see our room? Are you really ready? Hahaha, walang sisihan!
Confessions of a Boracay virgin
From Sommerset Makati I was picked up by my driver tatay ko. I asked him drive me first to Jollibee. Kasi the morning after I got in to Manila I ate breakfast at Jollibee pweee ang fanget ng lasa! So nagbaka-sakali ako this time baka masarap na kako, but sadly fanget pa din ang lasa…
Di ko sya type, di ko nga maubos eh - malamang kung masarap yan, walang pics diba? Hehehe…
NAIA Terminal 3, Angggg ganda. Feel na feel ko na talagang maunlad na maunlad na ang Felepens!
At air conditioned sya! Kaya naman sila Kuya eh prenteng-prente dito!

Ortigas-Makati-Los Banos-Makati-Libis-Makati *Nakakalokang routa!*
Hindi po ako barker!
Last May 21st after checking out at Shangri-La EDSA about 8am [Pucha, di pa man din check-out time noh!] Me and my dad went to our ancestral house to drop off and get some stuff to bring into Los Banos, Laguna [Reunion-reunionan with my dads relathieves...] I really don’t want to go, Curacha here want some rest too! Dahil I made some commitments already on the night of 21st noh! It was set up already 2 months before I left the US. But my fathermother insisted that we go!!! Baka naman daw sabihin ‘were so isnob sa personal.’ Diba nga kasi nag rent sila ng private pool… Puta hindi ko man lang na enjoy! Kasi nga I have to leave early. I was begging them not to make it the 21st of May, I asked them to make it a day before May 21 - eh
On the way to the JAM bus station… *Oh no, Curacha will take public transportation?* I loveeee the smell of Kalentong market hehehe - agang trapik!
It was a good thing that I was far away from Makati (The night before.) Kaya naman Curacha here ay medyo nakapahinga ng konti! I wasn’t really feeling good, dahil pagod-puyat-hang over-over sex at kung ano ano pa…
Lamayan Street. Sta.Ana, Manila. Ano ba lahat ng tao naka motorbike! *Maniningil ng pautang?*
So there we was sitting and hoping there would be no traffic sa skyway na talaga namang pinagkagastahan ng milyones ng mamayang Pilipino lol.
Bawal ang 1-2-3!
It was a bit congested in Alabang, but after that it was okay…
We gots in Los Banos proper in about an hour?
And still have to take another jeepney ride to go to pansol.
And then just before we say ‘Boss sa tabi lang’ the rain poured… Ekkkkkk, baka dumali ako!
There was our ride! Just one tix away, anjan agad!
I just said HI and Bye to my dad relathieves… As in we have to leave asap din no, to avoid traffic.
Actually I told my dad that he can stay there with his relathieves and no need to sama to me sa pagbalik ng Manila. He doesn’t want to. I insist, kasi naman noh baka atakihin sa puso sa sobrang pagod yong matanda lol.
Just after having lunch sa pansol and having a little bit kwento, we went back to Manila. But I am not leaving Laguna without pasalubong for my peeps in the US. So there I was buying and making tawad sa Colettes pasalubong. *Panis na by the time paguwi ko sa Jameirika! Kasi naman I did extend my stay for another week diba? Bitin eh!*
Ohhhhh crabs! But ekkkk I must contain myself, for later in the evening I know that we’ll have seafood.
I was like a bubble head all the way from Laguna back to Manila… Tulog ang lola at walang paki kung mukang bubble head sa loob ng bus. I know right, talagang jontok na jontok ako and somebody wants to sit beside me in Bicutan *Nakakaistorbo! Daming bakanteng upuan, ako pa tatabihan? Leche!* Ako nga ng lumifat HMFTTTT *Suplada mode*
Derechong Sommerset Olympia na ako. (It was alright, masyadong secluded! Heheh, nadidiliman ako - nasisikipan ako sa view sa bintana pucha!)
I was in a little bit rush it was almost 6pm and I still have to pick up her royalness ka-chuvahan sa Valero St. where he was staying… Dahil nga we have to be in Libis at 7pm to meet the royal bloggers for the pers tym. *May kotse ba ako at ako pa pi-pick up sa kanya? Hahaha pinik-up ko sya ng taxi!!!* At sabay kaming pumunta sa Libis dala-dala ang aming mga relief goods na pasalubong. Hahaha…
It was like a 3 hours drive from Makati Ave to Valero St. in Makati too mind y’all - all the way to Libis syet ang traffic and whenever I looked at our cabs meter
eh kinakabahan ako!!! *Naloloka ako kaka-convert kung magkano yon sa Dinars lol* Puta kada at kambyo ata ni manong eh nadadagagan ang babayaran namin lol… And you know I am running out of peso let alone Dinars! Binigyan pa namin ng tipanyang 150php ang mama dahil sobrang traffic tapos malalaman namin na from Makati to Libis kahit gaano ka-traffic eh mga 150php lang the most na babayadan mo! Puta ka manong napaka mandurugas mong hudas ka! Ang tanda-tanda mo na nadudugas ka pang walaghiya ka!
From Sofitel to EDSA Shangri-la (Downgraded?)
I have stayed in EDSA Shangri-la before this recent visit in Manila [Maybe, 15 years ago?] It was beautiful and very spacious back then… Maybe I have nothing to campare it to???
I am not saying it’s fanget! *Don’t put words into my mouth!* It is nice, clean it’s within walking distance of two major shopping centers Shangri-la Plaza and Mega Mall and it’s just steps from
MRT and EDSA. But tsk - I gots spoiled at Sofitel eh bwahahah! *Footah ang taas ng standards! Of course! Nakatikim eh. Hahahah…*
My room was quite small and the lighting wasn’t that good!!! *Hindi ba sapat ang binayad ko???* There were fruits in the room *YUM* The bathroom amenities were OK. The bathroom itself was OK too but for a 5-star hotel as they classify their property, well they should have had a stand-alone shower not just one over the bath noh!
Even my room wasn’t that fantabolous I had a very good night sleep (Ikaw na ang lumagare from May 14 til May 19 like Curacha na walang pahinga?) Wouldn’t you have a good night sleep too by May 20? Hehehe… [Ang lola nyo na ang umaayaw sa gimmick!] Remember I am in the middle of Ortigas and my friends were all in Makati so talagang no were to be found ang ateng at that time!
I will be posting my trip to Boracay and Dos Palmas soon… Of course kelangan in order diba?
Sofitel Manila, soooo Love it!
Sofitel Philippine Plaza is one of Manila’s best hotel. *Two thumbs up!* I could say that my overall stay at the hotel was incredible, ahhh lovely. The service was good and the staff was very good as well. (Friendly and very courteous.) As in they always say *Mam - Sir!* Honestly I hate it when somebody calls me Mam - Hindi ako sanay kasi ako’y isang SER bwahahah… Let’s put it this way… Everywhere I go in the Philippines I hear that… *Natutulok na tenga ko! GrrRrrrrrRrrrRrr.*
(Friends: Tina and Sunyi, and moi was busy at that time — Nagpapaganda, kasi rarampa daw sa Malate! Hindi nakasama ang Chuva, masakit daw ang chaney-ney nya… Paano ba naman, kinain ata pati WETER! If I know! Lumipad magisa yan papunta sa BIG POPPA sa Baclaran bwahahah… )
The room that I had was a Superior - very spacious (All my relathieves can actually fit in the room!), has a
view of the pool and Manila Bay (Oha!)
and a very HUGE bed — pagulong-gulong kamo ako sa kama *SARAPPPPPP* Wala namang kasiping *Kainis~~~Asar* *Hindi totoo ang chismacks na inuwi ko jan yong ‘anak ng sikat na RockStarrr daw’* Pawang kasinungalingan yon!!! Hahaha…
The restaurant ‘SPIRAL’
has the best buffet selection attttt I have my own coffee press sa aking table!
compared to ALL the hotels that I have stayed in Manila. The lobby is so posh, the executive club room is wonderful (That is if you was staying in much higher room category, you gets to “tambay” here - Where there is unlimited internet use, plethora of beverage and you gets to eat your breakfast at the said “club room” as well. Too bad, I cannot afford an upgrade! Lols…)
The only “complaints” that I have is that… There is no WI-FI connection at my room! [Oh well. actually all the hotels that I have stayed in doesn't offer WI-FI in the room. There is a broadband cable for internet, but seems it's not working (PUCHA!) aside from Finlandia Suites, now Herald Suites Solana who was the only hotel that offers WI-Fi.] And if I wanted to have a WI-FI while I am at the lobby (Sofitel) I have to buy a prepaid card for whooping 500php for 30 minutes. *Ano yon, ginto?*
I was busy the whole time I was in Manila, so I didn’t get the chance to really explore the pool
that is wonderful [View from my room...], but my relathieves did. *Magsuklay nga wala akong panahon. Mag swimming pa?*
Overall, I am satisfied. Will definitely stay with them, [I love their bathroom! So nice! Let alone the bathroom amenities bwahaha, bwakanawhich I nakaw! Infairview, sa Sofitel lang at Peninsula lang ako nag-nenok ng bath amenities. Buaaaa!] If I happen to be in town and of course I highly recommend it to my friends!
Ayan ang prueba na hindi ako sa kung saang 1 o 2 starrrss na motmot jan sa Pasay naglagi. LOL!
Pinas adventure (Part 3)
Hays sighs… Sorry to update after a week! *Your Ate is busy! Hardly working, este working hard “daw”*
While I was checked in Dusit Thani (I never enjoyed my 5 star accommodation, not their not so 5 star! But I was always out GrrrrRRrrrrRR!!!) my ride picked me up around 11pm para daw mag Malate, saan? Sa Library! *Pootah di pa man din nagiinit ang bangkay sa hotel, ayan may lakad na.* Wala talagang pahinga si Curacha while summering in Pinas!
I was picked up at the lobby and as soon as I sat my brother asked me… O asan na ang back pack mo? Tangina! Hahahaha, kasi nga diba kahit saan pumunta lola eh nakasukbit ang back pack sa likod ko. Eh yon ang brief sa akin ni Doring - wag kang tatanga-tanga, bantayan mo lagi mga gamit mo! Kaya naman ako, ayun laging yakap ang bag ko. Hehehehe…
So there we was, at The Library!
It’s not your usual library, I tell yah! This library are full of trannies and the like hahaha! It is indeed the nosiest library I have been to!!!
It is a comedy bar/restaurant and karaoke in one. O diba?
Pinas adventure (Part 2)
I stayed at Intercontinental Hotel and in Dusit Thani Hotel in Makati City during my first 4 days in Pinas. It was all good! Walang ifis at daga hehehe… Both Intercon and Dusit hotels have great location in the crowded Makati business area. (Points of interest: Greenbelt, Ayala, Glorietta — etc…)
Both hotels have shower in a tub with hot water running 24/7 *Footah, kalokohan naman siguro kung wala no?* granite countertop and was well stocked with clean towels and bath necessities.
Intercon and Dusit has almost the same features in my hotel room, A flat screen TV, WI-FI access for a minimal fee, a mini-bar *Whoa! This I likey-likey!* and a safe.
My room in both hotels was indeed very clean and just sufficiently large for 2 people. There were no noise. I slept quite well during my jetlag/lasenga moments!
Compliments of the hotel? Ano kayang hotel? Hmmmm… Bribe?
Walang araw na hindi ako lasing sa Manila…
Ako na nga nasuko! *Young really started drinking in a very early age! As in early, para bang may nakadikit na akong bote ng beer, pagkapanganak pa lang sa akin lol!*
Pinas adventure!
As I always say — I always been nerbus and excited to go to Pinas, I just don’t know what’s going to happen to me there… Kung ma ki-kidnap ba ako o ma-sa-salvage bwahahaha… I have never to Pinas for a veryyyyy long long time and I dunno what to expect, I’ve heard many stories, some good and some bad.
*On a very strong Pilipino accent* You be better be carepul coz you kno’ der’s alot of mandirigma ober der. You kno’ you gotta wats your staps ol d time, don’t be ol ober d flace, cos you neber kno’ you might be sitting or woking next to a snatsher - you kno’ snatsher? O your camera u wats it okay! [And that is my aunt briefing me hehehe... 4 weeks before I leave, I tell you mas-excited pa yang puday na yan sa akin!]
70 degrees and rising!
Oh my geez, last week for 4 consecutive days we experienced a bit of summer here sa aming lovely mansion chateu de ChuvaChienes downnnn south - yet it’s not even officially spring noh! [Oh well, that is a day or two of having 10 inches of snow!] Ang weather ditech eh napaka unpredictable at talaga namang extremes arg.
Sa mga ganitong pagkakataon at weekend pa ay talagang hindi ko pinalalagpas, so I woke up really early (Hehehe, sa weekend hindi ako mahirap/tamad bumangon. Ewan ko ba!) *Nakatunganga sa pintuan ni ChuvaChienes* Inaantay ko syang magising para ayain maglakwatsa, sus sa ganda ng panahon noh?!@$%# Sayang ang araw, minsan lang ang ganyan kainit. *Alam nyo naman lola nyo, sabik na sabik na magsuot ng shorty-shorts no!*
naks!…errr…gwaping ka nga...
kumusta na lang jan sa iyong banda.. cheh’s last blog post..Spring,what?
