Boracay with Lugawmates

Mag-lugaw. It's the act of not doing anything or more apt, the act of not doing what you're supposed to do.

They say that this use of term originated from merchandisers/refillers who in their breaktime eat lugaw. Until the term 'naglulugaw' eventually evolve to a slang conveying 'not doing work'.

Lugawmates-- ex-colleagues slash great friends, who have mastered the art of 'lugaw'. An unlikely group coming from various parts of the country, brought together by work circumstances, glued by the same firey passion and ironically equally chill disposition.





The idea if Boracay sprung about from one of those lugaw email threads.
I don't remember whose idea was it, next thing I knew, I was booking online tickets for some of us.

Then the Boracay weekend came. True to our name, lugaw was what we did. With no definite objective or itinerary (we didn't even had reserved accommodations that morning of our trip) , we set foot to the island of Boracay.

But things unfold rather positively (despite the flight delays going to and from Kalibo) .

A refreshing half day in Shangri-La Resort and Spa .

A bit of Swimming,
A lot of Lounging and People Watching.



And just chilling is quite cheap. I spent only about P2700 for the trip plus the P3000 roundtrip plane fare.

The art of just chilling are lugaw moments at its best. :)
