On Becoming Filipina in 10 months...

Islands=27 So now that I'm spending about 10 months in the Philippines, I'll be living the Manila life, reconnecting with my extended family and hopefully learning my Tagalog. I'll also be tallying how many times people ask me if I have a boyfriend and how times they tell me I'm fat. McFattie: 14 McSingle: 22

Boracay Trip Part IV: Juice Bar

2 nights of craziness at the Plazoleta Juice bar. Drunk, sweaty with free-flowing alcohol.  I don't remember the names of about half these people.

Boracay Trip: Hotel

Almost forgot. We stayed in Boracay the first weekend of June and picked out de Paris for accommodations.  We first got these nice rooms that had a kitchen, but was in the middle of the woods, so we changed to some that were closer to the beach.

Boracay Trip Part II: Island hopping and Beach Fun

So the pictures are a little backwards but that's ok.  After our 10 hour ferry ride, we got hopping to all the fun exploration that Boracay had to offer. 

We went to the island where there were some underwater caves, which were fantastic!  Didn't really get a chance for pictures because I was afraid the camera would get wet, so this is all you get.
