The last time I went to Boracay...

...was after high school graduation, with my whole barkada. There were about 40 of us from my all-girls school and about 40 more people from various all-boys schools. Everyone was a familiar face. I felt like we owned the island. We stayed for five days. Having been with my friends pretty much the whole time, I never got wasted. I love that my friends are all pretty wholesome people who know how to have fun without getting hungover the day after. We went banana boating, skimboarding and rode a paraw at sunset. It was the best summer of my life.
