Boracay, Day 2 (5 May 2006)

All of us woke up at different times.. different amounts of alcohol consumed last night equals different wake-up times. Hehehe! But the 5 of us had time to swim at the beach at the same time. And also play some volleyball.

It was a pretty lazy day. Walking around, more shopping, individually, in pairs, by 3’s, anything went. RJ and I walked around, saw the cool Nestea green tents just as we went out of the lodge.. we inquired from the beautiful Nestea girls in cool-blue Santa Claus outfits and the handsome Nestea boys, they told us that for a minimum purchase of P50, you get a free massage in the Nestea tents, quite a deal! RJ and I decided to buy some Nestea products from the Nestea boys and girls as soon as we get some free time, and get our massage. Now we go to D’ Mall. RJ noted a nice bikini in one of the stores, and she went there to try them. While she was trying them on, I was just outside doing some people spotting. I saw a tall, tanned guy that could pretty much pass for a model, he just passed by.. and then a little while later.. he passed by again.. this time he was holding-hands with a tall tanned girl that could pretty much pass for a model. It was only later that I realized that those 2 were in fact Borgy Manotoc and Ornusa Cadness. Hehehe! Me and my ignorance when it comes to celebrities. And that wasn’t the last encounter. On our way back, I saw a pretty lady, and I remarked “RJ, don’t we know her.” Hehehe! “Jake, that’s Cindy Kurleto.” Bloopers! But I wasn’t the only celebrity-ignorant person in the group. Earlier that day, Milan and RJ were walking when RJ remarked “My, what a good looking boy.” Take note, she didn’t say good looking man, she said good looking BOY. And she was immediately corrected by Milan.. “Good looking boy huh, that’s Brad Turvey.” Well, they are just pretty faces to us. But forget the celebrities, what made RJ’s day was seeing Gary Dolatas.. her former crush... Hahaha! She went crazy!

Another thing about day 2, it was EQUIPMENT MALFUNCTION DAY. RJ’s fone battery got drained, and Dada’s charger was incompatible with her fone. I was tapping my toothbrush on the faucet, and it broke into 2.

And then there was the issue of the VENN CHALLENGE: “RJ, hindi ka mapapansin sa Boracay.” Really, to challenge RJ is quite a dangerous thing to do. CHALLENGE ACCEPTED!!! Only now, the issue isn’t really getting people’s attention in Boracay, it’s proving him wrong. And boy, was he proven wrong. People of all colors: brown, white, tan, yellow, black; both male and female genders; they noticed RJ indeed, and I was the one keeping score. One foreigner remarked: “Look at that!” A girl remarked “Bongga!” and then a little girl said “Mama, artista yan, parang nakita ko sya sa isang show.” Mwahahaha! HYPOTHESIS REJECTED, 99.9% CONFIDENCE.
