not a bad first run

For more than a decade, Elena, Anne and I have been friends but literally haven't been anywhere together except Iloilo and Manila. Big whoopee! Finally! We get to go to Boracay which is pathetically only a few hours away from Roxas. We had to turn 30 to go! So I was more than happy to make it all work out. And these are the results:

Elena decided it was a good idea to bring him. Hahaha! Was she in for a surprise and dragging all of us with her.
Love love love the food at aria. Best pizzas ever! Not to mention my personal favorite, their strawberry shakes. Too bad it wasn't in season then. I was really counting on having some for the longest time.
w/ DJ, Anne and Jing. Elena took the pic. This was in Aria still. Man, I look so chubby! DAng!
Beach goddess and my Lola! No such thing as too much tan.
wish i had more time to go on a diet. sigh!
after all, i was on vacation. bottom's up! that's what they call it, bottom's up.
after shaking off someone who was pissing us all off, we ended up at juice. Surprised to see a lot of people from Roxas there. Including, Dr. Dennis Aguirre.
Lesi looking sooo good. Bumped into Ariel that afternoon and so glad that he dropped by and hung out with us.
Stok was a lifesaver. He worked my camera that night. Felt just like the good old (well not too old) days.
kilig naman ako! sobra! i wanna be like that! in a less crowded beach though!
if only things were different, they could make a good couple. sigh! but, life isn't about fairy tales.
paul turned out to be a 100x better than the other one. pretty nice guy.
may 24, 2009, exactly a year since i met u. wishing u were here.

dinner was at the discovery suites. thanks so much, paul! it wasn't cheap, that's for sure. but it was fun to be there and get to see what i've been reading and hearing for so long.

all in all, our trip was definitely one for the books. turning 30 for 2 of us is a milestone. what a way to break through our 20s and say hello to our 30s.

next stop, who knows?
