Serendipity.

That was the operative word for our entire trip.

And we almost did not make it to Boracay because of the hairline schedule we had to keep. It was wise of us just to keep moving without a break. We did not even stop to eat breakfast and lunch.

We had to make it to Roxas port by 10:00 a.m. because the next ferry was on 4:00 p.m. If we did not make that ferry we may have been stuck in Caticlan for the rest of Saturday.

We arrived at Roxas about 10 minutes late. Good thing the ferry left late, as if it waited for us to arrive.

Because of traffic at the Caticlan Port, we got to Boracay only at around 3:00 p.m. That's was the time we took our breakfast and lunch. And to think we left Manila at around 1:00 a.m.

That 14-hour trek is something I'm willing to do only once. Next time, we're taking the plane.

Anyway, with that out of the way, one dip at the waters of Boracay and it was all worth it.

And who would have thought that in just a few months from inception, our firm could take its entire staff to Boracay? I know of firms that have lawyer's meetings abroad. But our firm managed to take its entire staff to Boracay in just a few months.

And who would have thought I would get to do there what I would have missed doing in Manila at the time? Who would have thought I would get to play flute in the local Singles for Christ Choir of the Holy Rosary Parish, Boracay?

With these serendipitous events, who knows? There may be a firm branch in Boracay. It's not unlikely anymore.

With these events we are truly grateful. At least from now on, the office staff would not have any reason to slack off.

Anyway, it's back to work today... that vacation, and my adventures and my decision to leave all work behind for the past few days has left me recharged.

And when I got back, my dad already bought his new desktop (a Dell Vostro 200), where I'm writing this entry.

Also, it's back to school for Bea today... and me back to being school bus driver...
