Summer is Officially O-V-E-R!


�My perfect date is sitting on a beach with a six-pack, laughing and kissing.�
- Drew Barrymore

If I could, I would wear a bikini all day, everyday but I wouldn�t and I can�t�especially now that I am gaining back all the weight that I shed off last year. UGH�it makes me sad just thinking about it! Moving on, I�m all alone in the house today and it is raining pretty hard! I wish Mads pushed through with his plan of going here but unlike me, who has the option to work or not, it is a MUST for him to work. So, here I am sulking again in bed, trying to read the PDF file of Breaking Dawn but I�m just simply bored (no, not bored-bored�I just can�t concentrate because I�m used to reading the saga by book).

I miss Boracay so much! I�ve practically lived there (when my bf was still based there) but last year, my bf went back to Manila and all my free lodging (for almost 3 years) just disappeared. I miss staying in a cozy bed waiting for my bf to come home (yes, I call it home na sa tagal ko ba naman dun) from work. I miss going to the Talipapa to buy things for his merienda and Budget Mart for our never-ending noodles, chips and canned goods supply. I miss soaking up the sun in hot afternoons, lying in the beach bed like it is the only thing to do. I miss waiting for 4pm and being stoked everyday after our skim boarding sessions. I miss sitting on the sand in our tambayan when there a lot of empty chairs around and making kulit with each other. I miss my local friends, playing Frisbee and patintero. I miss being a wimp�yes, I am a wimp when I am with them. I miss the carinderia foods and drinking straight from a Coke 1.5 bottle that we all share (sometimes equally�oftentimes, not!). Now, I am back to being the Bora bakasyonista like everybody else though when I am with my local friends, they tend to remind me that I am �feelingerang bakasyonista.� Haay�my Bora life is not always as extravagant as you think. I just don on nice cover-ups and bikinis because that�s who I am and even if I�m one-of-the-boys there, I won�t (NEVER EVER!) compromise my fashion sense. I can�t help but wonder�How can I live in snowy Canada when I love the beach so much??? Come to think of it, maybe there are vampires in Canada�*wink*

I am thinking about the beach even in this cold weather. I was thinking of the big waves I can ride when Abby texted me that the waves in Manila Bay are frightening. Of course, I won�t be surfing in Manila Bay�Eww. Gross. But I was thinking that the best thing about the rainy season are the waves (and the fact that it is more challenging to dress up) =) I miss LU, Zamba and Daet. I wanna go to Baler and Siargao. I wanna get stoked again and again and again! I am crossing my fingers on this year�s out-of-the-country surf trip!!! Shhh�

Nonetheless, whatever I do, summer is officially O-V-E-R. Pretty much all I can do is reminisce the good ol� times when I had this bad habit and guilty pleasure of drying in my bikini. I cannot imagine how many swimsuits I have when I was looking back! I know I cannot probably beat Katrina Lobregat but I have plenty pala to mix and match and of course, recession time!!!
