Sweet Escape

Take me away. Take me away. Take me away from here please...

Massages, Naps, and Endorphins

Whoa. That was one of the best massages I've ever gotten. We got this flyer advertising home service massage, and it's even cheaper than Indulgence spa's full body massage! I've been dreaming of a massage for the past month, so I just had to call for one after dinner. huwaw, ahlaveet.

I needed that. I've been stressing the past few days. plus the body beating from the trip last weekend. PLUS the sinuses acting up. Been emotional the past couple of days, too. I SOO DESERVED THAT MASSAGE.

AND I also needed the afternoon break. while the computer guy was tinkering with our computers, I got to take a short nap. That no drowse neozep soo pulled my leg. (Figures-- it says "non-drowsy" neozep. It probably meant the tablet itself aint sleepy. it dint promise not to make me drowsy).

I also needed this endorphin rush with my goofbud ben. thanks dude.


(the closest i can get to a roller coaster ride. and i still shrieked like hell)

I Survived Galera

I have a shirt that says "I survived Sagada." And I honestly think they should sell shirts that say "I survived Galera."
I know it's lame.What's there to survive anyway? (When I didn't even join the jungle tour that didn't involve any jungle wahaha)
Well.
1. Boat rides on unfriendly waves.
I know August is a crazy time to go to the beach but who can stop crazy sunblock-bathing Korean bosses and a sunshine-mantraing, extremely positive (well in this isolated case) Canadian editor?
2. Crazy sunblock-bathing Korean bosses and a sunshine-mantraing extremely positive Canadian editor. (haha they're cool really)
3. Walking on the non-beach. In the rain. To get souvenirs for friends. (and uh, self)
4. Being dragged by a moving boat while chugging gallons of salt water. (first time snorkler, what can I do?)
5. An entire Saturday on an island with nothing much to do but sand play, take pix, and get room-service henna. (yes, coz I passed up the aforementioned [non]jungle tour).
6. The horror of a micro SD card messing up 3 days worth of photos.
7. Wading in an extremely rocky beach without getting (new) cuts and bruises.
8. And wearing a swimsuit. without crowds running for their lives. Or kids having nightmares tonight (i hope).

Yes. I survived indeed. And I deserve that shirt!


On a different note,this was the most profound scene of the entire weekend:

(while fishing on a boat)

Liz: I feel tugging.
But I only get tiny nibbles.
*YELLS*
Stop nibbling, you fish!
COMMIT d*** it!

Whoa girl. We all hate nibblers, calm down ;)

ah lav et.

Story told more coherently here.
(Will post more photos soon)
