I’m back. Two nights in Boracay, one night at the Sampaguita Gardens Resort in New Washington, Aklan and three nights in Roxas City. We went island-hopping and snorkeling in Boracay, took photos, feasted on the food and did some shopping.

We photographed some Faberge eggs and a painting by Cory Aquino at Sampaguita Gardens, bought dolls, took more photos (it’s a picture-pretty place), enjoyed an Oriental dinner, had coffee by the roaring sea…

But it was in Roxas City that we really had a blast. We visited the centuries-old Pan-ay Church and watched part of a Good Friday procession that was so jampacked with devotees that I thought we were in Quiapo witnessing the Black Nazarene procession instead. The highlight was when we took a boat to a fish pond and witnessed a bangus harvest. Somewhere between all that, someone from ANC was texting me about guesting on a TV show to discuss defamation in blogs. I was so sure it was about the DJ Montero issue but how could anyone think about defamation amid the beauty of lush greeneries and sparkling blue sea. Besides, I already decided months ago that I wouldn’t agree to any more TV guestings. So, there.

Memorable six days and six nights. Great to be able to spend all that uninterrupted time with family and old friends, great to meet new people and make new friends, see new places and do things we had never done before (I tell ya, that bangus harvest was a wonderful, wonderful experience). We came home with over a thousand photos which need to be resized for posting.

So many stories. So many photos. Coming soon.
