If I'm honest, I'm really exhausted
from travelling now and losing patience with packing and moving on
every few days. All I wanted was to chill out and I was happy with
spending my time here between Bacolod and Boracay. Anyway, it just
means I can come back and explore another time.
So 2 weeks later we headed off again......
After another long ass trip we
made it Boracay for the second time. This time the travel was better.
We had front row seats on the bus and it wasn't full, plus I had my
kindle, laptop and ipod to keep me company.
We were going to rest for a while but
we were too excited so we got ready and went out around 7pm. We
decided to have a long meal at Shakey's which was hard because we had
started sharing our food. Not to save money but because we just
didn't each much anymore. By 9pm we headed on up the beachfront to
Tribal Bar. It was still early but we knew the bar staff from last
time and had a laugh. As the night went on we bar crawled back down
to Summer Place Bar and stayed there. Low and behold Leila's fancy
piece was still there from our last visit. She thought it would be
funny to try to get me off with his ginger Welsh mate so I pissed off
and found a Canadian guy. Well when I say Canadian I mean half
Filipino and half Canadian (remember this important fact for later!).
As the night went on this Filadian (see what I did there) showered me
with lovely words and I have to say, my beer goggles well and truly
came into force. Leila decided to give me the room for the night so I
dragged him back. Now, don't worry I wont go into details.....because
there is no details to give! In true Filipino fashion, yep, he had a
babies finger. No, wait, a very drunken, flacid, babies finger! See I
do learn lessons and no Dad there were no broken sinks this time! So
in true drunken style...he got kicked straight to the curb. Good
night!

| URGH!!!!! Filadian ALERT!!! |
The next day was pretty much spent in
bed or on Tagged.com (lets not go there yeah!).
The day after I was right as rain so we
decided to hang around the pool catching some sun. The beach was just
too hot and most of it was owned by beachfront hotels so you couldn't
get a sunbed even if they were empty and you wanted to pay! The pool
was like bathwater too but it was wet and kind of refreshing. That
night we waited to go out. The bars don't fill midnight – 1am so
after the German guy came to see Leila they headed out around 11:30pm
and I was going to get ready and meet them out. A half hour later
they came back and said it was still dead so they had bought a huge
bottle of paint stripper to start us off. So off out we went at
1:30am. Don't ask me how I manage this as I really don't know! It
was a slow night (no boys worth my attention) but we drank and danced
the night away. Leila was smashed before we went out. She was
hilarious! I kept buying her water but she kept stealing the German's
drink....paint stripper and coke.
Another day, another hangover. Felt so
rough. Although, a few hair of the dogs that evening and a guy who
seriously pissed me off (on a certain website...WHY do I do it to
myself!!!) I slammed my laptop shut, told Leila to get ready and off
we went to hit the beach bars again. When we were wasted enough we
headed back. Unfortunately I went online once again and gave someone
a really pissed up, profanitised (so not a word lol) piece of my mind
and got drunk upset. UGH...who is this girl?????
The next day, after a talk down from a
great friend (mentioning no names Sara...whoops) Leila and I decided
on a pizza and film night.
On the Saturday, we actually got out to
the beach. Not to sunbathe though, just to walk and go see the famous
sandcastles they build here. It was a nice chilled out day. On the
way back we spotted the Pub Crawl reps and decided...why not? Its a
great way to meet people and have a laugh. So that night we donned
our Pub Crawl T-Shirts from last time and joined in.
There was a guy who sang at the first
bar who was a bit lovely looking in an Usher 'beer goggles' kind of way. He
remembered us from last time and we asked to to join us later at the
Summer Place after the crawl. (Filipino Tracy.....lesson obviously
NOT learned ffs!). Anyway, the night went on but the people on this
crawl were not as sociable as the last one. When we hit Wave Bar we
decided to bail out but low and behold, who was there....Armando (THE
singer). Well after a few failed attempts to talk to him (obviously he was bigger than his boots being 'famous' and all) I put it down to a
close call with another Filipino limp dick and left.

We headed off to the Summer Place but
the place was full of locals too. After a few drinks we decided to
call off the search and head to McDonalds for tea....at 5am! I got
chatting to a guy in line and we went and sat with them outside. A
few minutes later, Leila said she has to go as she had just seen the
guy from the Pub Crawl, who tried it on with her a few times, enter
McD's. She almost ran haha! I stayed a bit longer and told this guy
(yep no name remembered) to be a gentleman and walk me
back.....smooth eh?
After I persuaded him to come in (ok so
I may have pulled him) we kissed. Now, there are few good kissers
out there but he was one of the great ones. After a thorough 'search'
(well I'd already had one disappointment) it appeared he had drank
too much too!!!! And he was small and limp. What is it with the men
out here! Should have took that fuggly from Chester home on the Pub
Crawl, at least he would have had more of a chance of, well, you
know. So I bid a not so fond farewell to him too.
Turns out, the next day, Leila told me
he was Filadian too! God I need to trade these beer googles in for a
fresh pair!

The penultimate day was
spent....guess....yep in bed hungover once again. What can I say, I
can't deal with hangovers and 35oC heat anymore. We were off home the
next day so we just chilled, went out for tea then came back and
watched a film.
Boracay is a lovely island. Doesn't
compare to Koh Phi Phi but then again nothing does I have to say. I
would definitely come back when I next hit the Philippines.
