I went to Boracay for a few days with my college friends to attend our HK-based friend’s wedding. There is nothing better to start the weekend than colorful, happy things to welcome me back to the Philippines.

When we got to Boracay, we spent a few hours resting and just catching up on the latest with each others’ lives, and just relaxing.We saw sandcastles built on the beach, and by sundown, dinner tables on the beach were already set for the pre-wedding party.

Dinner was a casual affair, with sumptuous food. But we didn’t stay long, because we had work to do. Our group was in charge of packing the souvenirs to give away for the wedding, which was a big hit, especially with the foreign guests.

And on the big day itself, we got all glammed up. Personally, I didn’t think orange was a good color for me. But i guess my friends know better, because I didn’t look too bad, if I may say so myself. These are my girl friends.

Next morning was free and easy. We walked on the beach and went parasailing.

The next day, my friends and I flew back to Manila. They went back to the reality of hearings, cases and lawyer stuff. As for me, I went back to the reality of Singapore.

But I had so much fun, and I can’t wait to go back to the beach again. Even if it’s not Boracay, just as long as I’m with good old friends and having a fun, crazy time.

Let’s have one last look…
