Eat.
Pray.
Love. Etcetera
These were what we planned to do to celebrate our fourth year as Mr. and Mrs.
in Boracay last May 1. Of course, it would be a shame not to add a fourth item on the list of things-to-do on the beach - Swim. So we soaked in the clear waters and basked in the sun in this famed island. We rambled a lot and had a relaxing Nigi Nigi massage.
Anchovy Pizza Lover
Ice Cream Lover
Eat!
We ate Anchovy Lovers' pizza (two nights in a row), pasta, ice cream, yogurt, grilled food, eat-all-you-can, Korean, Chocnut, and lots of liquids including Jonas Shake. We were even invited to a free lunch from Astoria Plaza and attended an instant "Married Couple Decision-Making Skills" workshop. Hehe, actually, it was their sales pitch to couples to "invest" in their time share. At first glance, their offer was tempting. It should be, it was a sales pitch! But after a few wasted hours away from the beach and the rays of the holiday sunshine, we realized as a team that it was not meant for us as it does not fulfill our definition of investment. Still, we considered the experience a good but unlikely activity for us to grow as a couple. It was then that we made it a rule to never get into a deal that does not allow you to sleep on it. Ooops! As I am writing this, I realized that this experience took place during our prior Boracay visit last March, not this May. But the funny thing was that we again got several lunch invitations from the same company during our second visit this year. To think they said that their offer would only last that day when they were buttering us up. Quite scheming, huh!

God lover
Pray.
Good weather, enjoyable holiday, a growing and lasting marriage, and kids. These were some of the prayers we sighed to the One Up Above. We opted for the Boracay Church instead of the myriad of aqua sports vended like fresh fish in the island when Sunday came. The aqua sports peddler seem to find it weird when we told him we can't go rolling and tumbling inside the Zorb nor could we meet Nemo by wearing an underwater helmet because we would be going to Mass.
Lovers
Love.
Four years into married life and we are still counting and looking forward to many more honeymoons. Having no child yet affords us this luxury. But don't get us wrong, we really want a baby, pretty soon.
Etcetera.
