I bought my three-year old nephew a sleeveless souvenir shirt from Boracay. When I arrived home, I showed it to him immediately. He was very excited. He changed into the shirt right then and there. The timing was right since he and his mother were going to run some errands so his mother got him shorts that was more suitable for wearing outside. However, he did not want the shorts his mother gave him. He was looking at my luggage and said, “Shorts.” I was perplexed until his mother explained that he was waiting for the matching shorts to his t-shirt. Hahaha! Unfortunately for my nephew, auntie did not buy him shorts, although, he really waited for some time for me to produce the anticipated matching shorts from my luggage. It took awhile before he understood that auntie only bought the t-shirt. At least now I know that next time I’ll buy him a shirt, I shall buy him shorts also.
Kalibo International Airport was bustling with foreign and local tourists. Hundreds of Taiwanese nationals waited in line while airport officials were checking their passports. My two friends and I were resting, trying to catch our breath from the boat ride, the very hot van ride, followed by a very windy bus ride and finally the slow tricycle ride from Boracay to Kalibo. We were a little hungry so we took out our junkfood and started eating. Then we remembered that we brought Nescafe 3-in-1 sachets and our own styrocups. All that was missing was hot water. Good thing hot water was available for P5 a cup. After buying the water and mixing our coffee, we sat down to savor our Nescafe 3-in-1. When I finished drinking I said to Lui, “Ang sarap talaga ng Nescafe.” (Nescafe is really delicious.) Then I realized I sounded like a advertisement for Nescafe. So I told Lui that our experience would make a good advertisement for the coffee. Who knows, maybe I’ll see the scene on television one day
