Boracay, Philippines - Escape to Laziness

Img_1006

Last week was a trip to Boracay in Philippines - Another mental vacation I desperately needed after a month of biz trips and not being home.  This was my perfect vacation of absolutely doing NADA NADA.  Just a bikini and sipping anything that sniffed of Rummy-goodness. I even abandoned my buds to hang out solo with a bunch of Shangri-La ground workers on their day off - at beautiful Puka Beach.

Not the prettiest cabana boys -- but they hauled ass and were damn helpful with their royal treatment mentality with - plenty of icy bottled mineral water, grilled fish BBQ on the beach, and a proper toast of homemade liquor served in Dixie cups.  The  Boracay police and militia were on full alert, with mean- poking rifles came to check if this little Japanese girl was OK every five minutes or so.

Blogging Blockhead

The blogger block is rather infectious and pervasive; but I wanted to beam up some highlights up here, before they get buried in the recess of my files, which is not properly backed up. 

During CNY (now two months ago) I had a quick trip to Ho Chin Minh - Vietnam with my dearest and best friend from US. Not the Jane March's version of "the Lover" I had hoped it to be -- but HK was crappy cold, so it was nice to get down 1.5 hours to beachy warmth and soak up the sunniness, if not the exhaust fumes.  When we weren't whirled by crazy mopeds all around us in Saigon, we took a day trip to Mekong Delta for a lazy boatride... and basically caught up on our friendship - now 17 years strong!!  Thanks Jeanne :)  I love you tons.
