argh!!! i'm walking on asphalt!!!
yesterday, 1 pm: just finished roasting my skin after marinating it in beer. resting in a bali-inspired hut, an insane amount of food beside me, compliments of my tito (whose resort we're staying in). me and esay felt like princesses.
today, 1 pm: had lunch at hey jude! and had more than the eye-candy i needed. rushing ourselves so we can get to the airport in time for our flight back home. me and esay felt like we were being exiled.
yesterday, 6 pm: ran through the talipapa in boracay to get to the shore in time to catch the sunset. we did catch it, settling ourselves on deck chairs by the shore and sipping on kamikazes.
today, 6 pm: in a plane about to land on manila's centennial terminal 2, looking out the window over the grey-brown-green landscape and thinking, "i live in a wasteland."
yesterday, 930pm: stepped out of the resort to party and was humbled by the night sky lain out before me. talk about star-spangled. by the end of the night, i caught several shooting stars, one of them lasting for a good 3 seconds before disappearing. absolute magic.
today, 930 pm: back at home, washing the last grains of white sand off my hair and skin. the sky is dark, with tinges of dark red. no stars are in sight. just a lotta neon lights.
yesterday night: bar-hopped. are we still in the philippines? there seems to be more foreigners than locals. bumped into a cousin and his friend. smoked up for the first time in half a year. we ended up walking back to the resort at around 4 am, which is a good kilometer or so away from where we hung out. pang pa-sober.
tonight: am beyond worn-out. walked to a nearby cafe to get away from the madhouse our apartment's turning out to be with all my relatives there. sadly, i can't kick off my slippers anymore and expect my feet to hit soft, cool sand. instead, there's dark and dirty asphalt threatening to pierce my soles.
*sighs*
a very good thing has come to an end. i'm going back to boracay hopefully by summer. i am choosing it to become one of my sanity savers.

You are a PHOENIX in your soul and your
wings make a statement. Huge and born of flame,
they burn with light and power and rebirth.
Ashes fall from your wingtips. You are an
amazingly strong person. You survive, even
flourish in adversity and hardship. A firm
believer in the phrase, 'Whatever doesn't kill
you only makes you stronger,' you rarely fear
failure. You know that any mistake you make
will teach you more about yourself and allow
you to 'rise from the ashes' as a still greater
being. Because of this, you rarely make the
same mistake twice, and are not among the most
forgiving people. You're extremely powerful and
wise, and are capable of fierce pride, passion,
and anger. Perhaps you're this way because you
were forced to survive a rough childhood. Or
maybe you just have a strong grasp on reality
and know that life is tough and the world is
cruel, and it takes strength and independence
to survive it. And independence is your
strongest point - you may care for others, and
even depend on them...but when it comes right
down to it, the only one you need is yourself.
Thus you trust your own intuition, and rely on
a mind almost as brilliant as the fire of your
wings to guide you.You are eternal and because
you have a strong sense of who and what you
are, no one can control your heart or mind, or
even really influence your thinking. A symbol
of rebirth and renewal, you tend to be a very
spiritual person with a serious mind - never
acting immature and harboring a superior
disgust of those who do. Likewise, humanity's
stupidity and tendency to want others to solve
their problems for them frustrates you
endlessly. Though you can be stubborn,
outspoken, and haughty, I admire you greatly.
