Day Two- September 25, 2008: Enjoying Boracay

September 25, 2008- Day Two: Enjoying Boracay

It was finally morning. Many of us woke up early, some, as early as 5:30 in the morning. Most of us either went to the beach to enjoy the waves, or walked to different places we haven’t been the night before. At 8 am, breakfast was served. Plans were being discussed as we were eating breakfast. Some of us planned of course planned to swim, others intend to go and ride a banana boat. When we finished our breakfast, most of us went swimming in the “big, blue sea” as some call it. The waves were large, but they were safe to swim on. We started a trend called “wave jumping”, where in you will jump when a wave comes. After so much wave jumping, a little of us walked to go shopping for souvenirs and other stuff. We greatly appreciate the way the natives treat us there. They were very warm, friendly and cordial. We quickly befriended them, that at times we were given discounts by them. This memory will remain with us, for we owe gratitude to them.

Only one thing spoiled the day. At lunchtime, while we were eating, a strong gust of wind came, and it rained very hard. Thankfully, the rain lasted for twenty minutes only, with some mild rain showers. But, unfortunately, we didn’t see the famous sunset of Boracay due to the aforementioned rain. As we surrendered ourselves to the merciless weather, we just contented ourselves by playing games, swimming, shopping, and watching the Ateneo vs. La Salle championship game of the UAAP which was live on television.

As night came, we enjoyed the night scene of the island. You can see the lights going on one by one. We ate dinner, and off we go again, this time, just to walk. We really enjoyed that night. Some played (again), others went for a last-minute shopping, and others just had coffee. We hesitated to sleep, because we know this would be our last full day in Boracay.
