This photo is a throwback to 2015. In 2012, the first documented laborday weekend party ensued. It was quaint but it seemed pretty fun. The following year, Ateneo vs La Salle made Laboracay THE party of the year. 2014-2017 was a blur, each time organizers trying to out do last year’s party as more and more private ones pop up. 2015 was my first Bora trip with my then partner. It was one of the most memorable trips I had with him. Although my best Laboracay experience were my first 2014 and my last 2017. Both times I was with only my friends to have the time of our lives. It is nostalgic and magical. A time when we felt we were the kings of the world. And every year we would do our beach cleanup. It started when Rayann was so drunk in 2014 he kept picking up trash. After that, I did the same before getting floored by intoxication. Then we started joining beach clean ups. We even went out of our way to educate fellow party goers to put their trash where it belongs and keep it away from the sea. Gone are those days and it is probably for the better. I am the boy who loves this island, and the boy who loves the sea.. It calls me…
