Off To Paradise!

This picture was taken last year, give or take a few days.

TPS et famille are going to Boracay! Yay! This is becoming an annual thing for us. At the start of each year, we usually promise to do away with vacations, well, not vacation per se, just, you know, the ones that would get a huge chunk of our salary. But the thing is, just as soon as we have made that promise, we think of small excuses to go. For this year, our convenient excuse is that Sharkteeth requested that we go to Boracay instead of a big party for her fifth birthday. I think she loves the place because (a) of water, water, and more water, (b) we have some sort of junk food amnesty program during vacations, (c) there's no school for her for a relatively long stretch, (d) we can build sand castles, and (e) she loves fishes, in fact, her most fervent desire is to be a mermaid. And with the dirt-cheap tickets, it would actually cost us less than a party. *shrewd* I wonder what's going to be our excuse next year.
