Pulsing Rage (Mad Men, #2)

The whole ride in the plane was somewhat exasperating. It is not because of plane's turbulence but because of the person I was sharing the ride with. What I mean, the person beside me.

Corey was so loud.

And freaking annoying.

All we did in that half hour ride was bickering the whole time.

In that few moments, nasulyapan 'ko lamang ang magandang tanawin mula sa bintana dahil sa dami niyang sinasabi. I love the ocean so much it hurts my heart. However, all he was doing was to annoy and give my mind no space to think about anything but his complacency. Natahimik lamang ang buhay 'ko na lumapag na sa E.L. Tordesillas Airport.

I am in Balesin right now, a 500 hectare tropical island paradise located southeast of Polillo, Quezon Province. I am really in heaven right now with a bit of hell because of the sight of other person namely, Corey Cromwell of Anthem. I really hope and pray I never see him. But you know, maybe I am praying for impossibles.

I breathed a sigh as I strode toward where should I get my other things. I still could hear some whispers but I ignored it wholeheartedly. Kung pansinin 'ko pa sila ay tiyak na masasayang lamang ang laway 'ko. I should preserve myself on wandering the paradise than wasting my energy fighting them.

The visitors asked to settle for minutes for a small orientation regarding the island. Mainly, it talked about the 7 themed villages in Balesin. And it was inspired by the world's best beaches. The speaker also uttered some tips about where to stay during sunrise and sunset. Other activities we could do here. You know, I really want to try the wakeboarding and riding a horse in the freaking beach side. And stay in the middle of the ocean with my champagne and wine...and be drunk the whole night without thinking of anything.

But thinking of what inside of champagne or wine makes me think of drinking of water or drink nothing.

How could I ever enjoy this?

I shook my head as I never understand the other things that the speaker told us.

After the orientation, we were whisked away from the airport to St. Tropez Village. This is where I picked the place I am staying for tonight. Maybe, tomorrow I'll pick the Bali Village because it has the great view for sunset. Anyway, they mostly used golf carts for transferring their visitors from one village to another. Or, maybe if you really so determined to walk, you are free to do it.

St. Tropez offers a French Riviera experience. Each room has high-ceilings and their own balcony looking out at the Pacific Ocean as per the website. I am actually really thrilled about it. Conversely, right now, my body is screaming with soft and comfortable king size bed. My stomach grumbled but it can't wait.

Dala ang maleta ay mabilis akong pumuntang reception area to ask about my key card. Mabilis ang transakyon ay nakuha kaagad ito. One of the bellboy helped me for my things. May kaunting pag-uusap tungkol sa buhay niya at ilang taon na siyang namamalagi dito sa Balesin. It made me awe that he is staying here for almost 6 years. Dito na rin siya nagkapamilya...it is really, really heart-swelling. I remember the dream of mine staying in an island forever. I don't even have that dream in my heart right now. I don't know if I ever have the desire of it.

Pagkarating sa kwarto, nilagay 'ko sa gilid ang maleta katabi ng kama. I left my other things beside it and I lied down on the bed. I noticed a bench seat and two arm chairs. My room is a blue-colored theme. It is really nice and refreshing. Akala 'ko talaga'y nasa ibang bansa ako sa tema nito.

A nap would not hurt. I just need maybe an half-hour of sleep before touring around.

I stared at the high-ceiling and turned on the side where the veranda is located. A blurred outside is all I could sight. I breathed a sigh as I slowly closed my eyes.
