SKURBANISTA: adjusting back to my reality.

So, i've been hanging out in Boracay for the last 2 weeks almost.

I really did miss this place.

I am very glad am here but man, experiencing the bit ends of the Habagat or rainy season is

not fun at all. Well, it's just the heavy rains that scared me, plus all the drowning accidents, ruined properties in the beachfront and capsized boats are the ones that really got me thinking..

now i remember why i hated being here during the winter.. because of all the of the above. It's been a very sad week, a number of people died from drowning, and the beachfront looks like a dead city after a storm..so people thats why you should not build your properties toooo near the beach. there is a great reason for it.

I also noticed that a meter of sand has disappeared on the last 3 years alone.

lookie

Anyways, enough about that.

I've been repainting some stuff, trying to "upscale" my native new home. I haven't lived in a native house for a while and it is a big change from SF,North Carolina and especially the house we had in Greece.

I do enjoy shopping for home stuff! always!

and am doing it with one of my great buddies anamie, who i used to work with in CWC/Republ1c

It was a choice between white beach (sunset beach) and Bulabog beach (sunrise beach) + 150Euros.

Am happy to be in white beach, although i know i might go crazy when all the tourists invade the island again in a few months time. we'll see.

My days are filled with

Beach walk in the morning to Yoga class,

hanging out with my Boracay friends,

daily swim from Kasbah beachfront to Willy's rock and back

Sunset and Hoop sessions at Kasbah

working on airbnb photos

kiting (if there is wind)

and a lot more fun stuff.

Yes, it's a great life. <3 nbsp="nbsp" p="p">

ok am not complaining or anything

Great and Healthy life <3 p="p">

buuuuut....

I've also been sick, very sick actually.

I always get sick on my first two weeks in Boracay.

and i thought this year would be different but nahh. it's the same.

Vomiting is not fun.

Monday 2am, i went to clinica de boracay and the doctors know what they we're doing.

It's a great change from the last time i was here.

At almost the same time two years ago, i had to go to the hospital.

I remember that there was no electricity in the center, no chairs in the ER

and they had to put dextrose on me, putting the syringe while i was sitting on the guard's monobloc chair outside the hospital. due to the lack of lighting inside..

AHHHH

talk about nightmares!

So now am drinking antibiotics and writing this post. 8am in the morning ...

ive been in my bed for two days, crackbooking and watching happy endings and sorting out my unorganized iTunes library.
