Does one ever really get tired of Boracay...


Not me... maybe not for a long period of time... It still has it's enchanting way of drawing me back to it over and over again.. i don't know.. maybe it is its gorgeous sunset that calms the soul, or its powder fine sand that soothes tired feet, maybe its the quietness of its morning or the loudness of its nights, maybe its the excitement of encountering new faces or the comfort of seeing old ones. Whatever it is, Boracay is Boracay to me... a place of loud parties and intimate fellowships, of careless running to catch a freezbie or a quite walk by the shore on the break of dawn, of hearty laughter that catches you out of breath or of solemn silence that grabs you & woos you to get lost in its peaceful mornings.

Maybe more than just the place itself, I associate Boracay with a lot of pleasant memories as well. There was one time, I went with just 2 friends - a couple. And in that trip I had one beautiful encounter with God as He opened my eyes (with the help of my friends)to how painfully beautiful it is to abandon my heart to His will. 6 months later, I experienced another awesome work of God as I witnessed the union of dear friends in marriage. There was one conversationn that to this moment makes my heart swell with bittersweet memories of words spoken. There was the funny tipsy moments too..the list just goes on and on... & so does the smile it evokes whenever remembered.

I won't probably get tired of Boracay... oh well not maybe I get to experience Amanpulo..

Simple Abundance: I am back!!.. hopefully... with more entries.
