Thunderbird Resorts Poro Point have two restaurants- Olives (which is located near the lobby) and Vegas Cafe (which is beside the Casino). They also have a different menu for the Pool Bar, which I was able to try before taking a dip in the pool. The Santorini Bar & Lounge is where you can relax, while sipping your favorite alcohol drink.

Yes, the sight of the Santorini-inspired architecture of Thunderbird Resorts Poro Point can relax you (as seen in my previous post), but wait until you see their rooms…

First of all, I would like to apologize for the lack of posts these past few days. This post has been long overdue. It has been more than a week now since my birthday and I haven’t shared yet where I really went two weekends ago. Ummm… Actually, it’s because I went back to this paradise again last weekend. Hehehe! Anyway, I won’t keep you waiting anymore. Here it is…

I usually treat myself whenever it’s my birthday or it’s Christmas. It can be as simple as clothes, shoes, accessories, or for the past few years, bank-breaking but irresistible purses. For my 20-ish birthday, I thought of stopping my baghag urges (for the meantime). I thought of having a trip to…

Yay!!! Vacation at last!!! Woohoo! I never thought that this day would still come! After taking too much vacation last year, I think this is what you call “karma“. LOL! It’s the first time that my family stayed home last Holy Week. Miracle indeed! LOL! Mom was supposed to book a flight to Singapore and Malaysia for Holy Week. When she was about to pay, we had to hold it, partly because of me. I had to go to the office last Holy Thursday. Plus, I couldn’t take long leaves just yet. Waaaah! What a life! 
I still couldn’t accept I’m not going somewhere with my family this summer. Huhuhu! Nightmare! I have planned trips ahead though, but going with my family is different. Oh well!
Argh, enough of my rant! At least I’m still getting a 4-day vacation! Weee! I thought I wouldn’t see the island anytime soon. But but but… Here I am! I will be enjoying the sun, the beach, and the summer breeze of Boracay in a few hours! And what makes this trip more special? My parents are going too! Wahahaha! Now, that’s new! My parents hate the beach! I know I’ve mentioned that in my previous posts. Well, I bet they’ll just stay in the hotel. My mom coudn’t take the summer heat. LOL! They were just forced to go with us since my mom wants to go somewhere too. She’s soooo annoyed with my work already because she’s hoping I could take about two weeks leave and go somewhere. I ended up giving her Bora tickets… LOL! Well, as expected, she’s not that happy-happy. She’s not even excited! LOL! My sister and I just gave her a very good impression of Boracay- like what to expect, the hotel where we are staying, the food, etc. Hmmm… Now I feel we are just going to pig out! Hahaha!
Anyway, gotta go now! I miss the island sooo much… Boracay here I come!

Remember I went to Boracay last week of August? Well, I owe you that story, so here it is.
My friends and I stayed (again) in Island Nook. We partied (again) all night long. We enjoyed (again) the sunny weather. And we attempted (again) different activities.
This Boracay trip is all about adventure, different activities, all in one day.

Yay! Beach is what I need right now! After an uber stressful week, a relaxing weekend getaway is what I need. Well, it’s a long weekend here in Manila so this Bora trip is just so timing!
I can’t wait to try out parasailing and zorb this time. Oh, and the shakes in Jonah’s, I need a dose of that everyday! The food… Hmmm… Can’t wait to go back to Smokes for their delicious Sizzling Bulalo! Oh, and I shouldn’t forget Big Mama’s affordable dishes too. Ummm… I also feel like eating Italian. Aria would be perfect for my Italian craving. Or I can also go for the eat-all-you-can mongolian buffet at Villa de Oro, eh? For my snacks, Chori-burger is what I like!!! I missed that a lot! And last but not the least, I need my Chocolate Sin dessert at Zuzuni!!! I’ve been haunted by its taste for months now! Shoot! Looks like I’ll be gaining weight when I get back! Most of my plans are to satisfy my food cravings! LOL!
But of course, Bora won’t be complete without bar hopping. I wonder what their national anthem is this time. Hehehe! Last summer, it was Poker Face. Hmmm… I will be ready for this trip’s LSS. Hahaha!
Awww… Wish I could stay in this paradise for more than a week. Hehehe! I need to stay dreaming about that as I’ve gone overboard with my vacations. :-( After tracking back my trips in detail for the past 10 years last week, I just realized that I’ve been to 11 countries (well, plus Bora and Palawan, if I’m counting my vacations this year) all for 2009! I wanna faint! Anyway, I don’t wanna think about that now. I might really faint when I think about my expenses that came with all that. I just can’t wait to chillax at Boracay paradise.

Well, there’s not really much to share. As I’ve said here, when I arrived in La Union last Friday morning, there was just like a big swimming pool out there. No waves at all! How the heck could we surf?! We ended up going to Baguio in the afternoon just to take pictures and to eat dinner at my fave, Café by the Ruins. I will share them here soon.

That’s what I need. As part of my birthday celebration, my friends and I hopped on to our surfboards as the waves brought us to La Union! I want to do something different for my birthday as my celebration has always been nightouts, house parties, dinner or lunch treats. Ever since I tried out surfing last July, my feeling of wanting to go back to La Union never died. It’s now something I wanna do over and over again, if time allows. The road trip to La Union, the company of friends, the relaxing beach, the adrenalin rush, the fun, the accomplishment when I get to stand on the surfboard- all make the surfing experience one of the best memories in my life. And now that it’s the weekend after my birthday and it’s a long weekend, which makes it even better, surfing is definitely the perfect birthday celebration, eh?!

Uh-huh, that’s new! I have never felt high with any sports. There are only a few sports I have tried since I was a kid, namely swimming, volleyball, pingpong and golf. That’s it! Nothing more, nothing less! I never stick to one sport. I’m the type of person who tries something then outgrow it eventually. Take for example, when I was in grade school (I think) when everybody seems to be into golf, i tried playing the sport for a few times. I even ended up buying a golf set of my own. This pushed me to play golf every weekend at the very least. After a few months though, I got tired of it. Looking back, how I wish I just used the money to buy a bag. LOL! I wasn’t a bag hag then, so I’m kinda excused to making such foolish decisions. Hehehe!
