I went sailing
Filed under Feast Asia, The Mommy Journals • Tagged: Royal Caribbean, travel, vacation
I’m back. No more future posts. For now. I’ve taken down the notice on the sidebar that I’m out of the country and unable to respond to comments and e-mails. I am going through the comments in both blogs and the messages that remained unopened for more than nine days.
So, I’m back from where? Here and there. See, I was on a boat. Okay, a big boat.
That boat. It has a name. Legend of the Seas.
That’s me waiting excitedly to board her.
That’s us. Mis amigas. Cynthia, me, Mabel and Osang. We sailed together. And ate together. And laughed together and dissed each other endlessly. And we got drunk together too — even before the ship left the port.
The bartenders made some pretty mean Singapore Slings.
So, I had a couple before the ship pulled out of the port.
Later — much later — we went to a beach and sipped fresh coconut juice.
Then, we went back to the ship and… that’s Osang. She had the Margarita; I had the Mudslide.
So, was it nine days of nothing but alcohol?
Not really. There was lots of food too. And laughter. And girl talk — the confiding kind.
And a lot of stories with lots of photos. I’m still reconstructing what happened when. Alcohol kinda makes it a little hard to remember which came first — the Singapore Sling or the cognac or the dancing and the singing. But no worries. The stories will get written. They always do.

Connie,
What a vacation!
Am glad those boobs did not sink the ship. On the other hand, come to think of it, you could have been someone’s personal salva vida (salbabida).
Welcome back.
Thank you, thank you! Now that broadband is back to normal, uploading photos shouldn’t be a problem.
Yeye, I was just telling Speedy and the kids that we should take a cruise together. Kahit short one lang.
Lisa, bruha ka talaga. Dami dun with bigger boobs ano!
katuwa naman parang pang girl’s talk yung biruan nyo ni ms lisa (btw, love your baguio site!) namimiss ko din tuloy going out with my girlfriends. Anyway, welcome back Ms. Connie, super na miss ka namin and we can’t wait for your future posts regarding your fun cruise in Asia. Believe me, we really need some cheering up and fun photos to see after the sad thing that happened in Maguindanao. Take care and God bless!
More than 25 years na kaming ganyan ni Lisa hahahaha
Trip stories and pics coming up!
Girlfriends and alcohol onboard a ship? bad combination, haha. Kidding.
We’ll be waiting for those stories and pictures.
Dramatic combination, Lemon. As in — MA-DRAMA talaga hahahahaha
Wow. A mom like you certainly deserves her ‘me’ time

Welcome back. Looks like you had fun. Funny, I had a mudslide last weekend
. Looking forward to reading more.
bakit daw we refer to ships as “her”
Because ships are graceful and beautiful. Men are not. BWAHAHAHAHA

Dunno. Heck. Basta alam ko, on the last day, I couldn’t button my pants hahahaha
