Sixteen Degrees to Reality

As usual, the island was a long-awaited escape from all the stress and drama the city offered. But of course, that meant waking up at 2:30 in the morning, and I was prepared. After begging my brother to take me to my cousins’ place, we all went inside the car, met with Ferdz (I hope I got the name right) whose folks own the resort we were going to, arrived at Batangas Pier by 6:20am, in time for the 6:30am departure (which was supposedly 5:45am. haha) and landed on the White Beach by around 8:00am.

I saw familiar people (especially the Barcode people who do glitter hennas) and I don’t know if it was the distance from civilization that we all acted like friends. (Most of them gay.) You got your usual foreigners, but my favorite were the HOT PERSIAN GUYS (Alexander? hehe)

And of course, it’s never complete without a night life. Beach music, company of family and cute guys, that was THE LIFE I forgot about.

Some Highlights:
1. Glitter Henna, as usual
2. Sun-bathing
3. Walking Going on an Expedition to the other side of the island

4. Stepping on poop. Barefoot.
5. Survival of my cellie after getting dipped in the sea
6. Transformation of the Birhen ng Puerto Galera (My sister!)

7. Ang Pagbabalik ni Jose (After quite some time)
8. Almost Finding Magic Mushrooms
9. Re-touching of Glitter Henna
10. Singin’ till we’re back in Manila!

*Much thanks to my dear sister for sponsoring me. Whee!*
