Late Boracay Recap

Boracay is an island paradise situated about 200 miles south of Manila. We had a company retreat there. Why you would plan a serious company retreat in such a place as this I do not know...Probably because it was anything but a serious company retreat. The island is truly a paradise. I have never been anywhere like it. The beaches are beautiful and so are the tiny women. Even the ladymen can be quite appealing in the right light...er maybe that's how I justify ogling a few only to be informed minutes later that they have man bits.

I went out until about 4 or 5 in the morning every single night there, drank copious amounts of alcohol, and basically did foolish things 90% of the time. On one night there I found myself doing a "15 shot challenge" at one local bar. Apparently it is a Boracay tradition...er a tradition for the tourists. I'm not sure that actually counts.

Anyway, I am a trainee in the company and I had flashbacks to pledging when I had people around me basically hazing me and telling me to take the shots faster. It didn't help that I had a coworker next to me take down all 15 shots in 2 minutes. I have never seen such a display of drinking in my day...and I've seen quite a bit. After he finished I was both amazed and appalled. So I told him he might want to seek help for his ailment and continued drinking my 15 shots. When all was said and done I think I did quite a few more shots after the 15. I think my rationalization was to celebrate finishing 15 shots...I will check into Betty Ford Italy soon.

When I finally finished I looked like this:
That is another coworker - Katya. I got this shirt for finishing the 15 shots. I don't know where I found the glasses...
