During daytime, lot of activities are being offered by various hotels and travel agencies within the proximity e.g Island hopping, Scuba Diving, Jetski, Spa and wellness , name it and you can have it here with a corresponding amount.
This is totally a paradise for me. Yes it is! I felt that the whole time of my vacation was really great.
But during at night, it is a different story for me, I had my first and unforgettable experience in my life; It was happened in the span of my Boracay Vacation.
The time that I started to write this article for my Blog post,I was reluctant to continue writing my story and experience in my Boracay nightlife. Maybe No, for some reason it can be too vulgar or too sensitive and it can be taken against me. Maybe yes, because this is really what I've experienced, and it was the reality. I also considered the Pros and Cons. Was the story is worth blogging for or do I need to keep it - to myself. There are things that we need to keep it in a state of secrecy but hiding the story is really difficult if the story is worth telling for. Moreoever, that story is already part of my past. So here we go.
First night :
Advertisement by Google:
Having "I was online using my phone to that specific gay social network (to be specific you can locate the online members within your area). I received a lot of messages asking if what bar I was located at, or what station was my accommodation, can we go drinking, or can we meet. Lot of messages from other members (who were also online that time) were in my inbox.
At that time I was watching the Fire dancers performing.
“I am here at station 2 and currently watching the Fire dancers”. I replied one of the messages.
“Me too, I am here, where are you located specifically?”.
“I am here at the right part of coconut tree wearing white sando and yellow board short” I answered.
“Are you Athan?”, A moment passed by and someone touched my shoulder uttering those words.
When I looked behind, I saw a gym fit man with white tops and short, smiling. I just answered, yes.
“I am jake”. he extended his hand to me.
Then he was the one who sent me a beep in that social network. He invited me for a drink, and we stayed at Juice Bar ( bar of MSM partyphiles). While drinking, he told me that he invited all the online members to come together at Juice Bar so that we can meet, all of us.
Few minutes, some approached “Are you Jake?”,
Another man came , as soon as I finished my cocktail drink, I just realized that we were already ten in table. Chatting each other and everyone were busy checking their phones because they were trying to gather all the MSM who were online and located from Station 1 up to 3.
Undeniably, I was just indulging the drinks since it was for free, it looked like everyone were financially capable of spending too much penny for that party except me.
12:00 Midnight, I was aleady dizzy , I grabbed my phone and checked.
“Oy Athan Uwi kana kasi gigimik Tau” my travel buddy named Dhen texted me.
So, I said that “I have to go guys”,
“No no no! You have to join and stay with us,”.
I promised to stay until 1:00 AM.
Drink, Drink, Drink! ....
Cocktail and variants of hard liquor were being served . Until, I felt I was about to throw up, I was already drunk, I already felt the dizziness and the surroundings looked like in slow motion twisted. I just noticed one guy helping me out, and he brought me to a certain place which was not familiar to me, but the only thing I remembered , it was still part of Boracay, yet I wasn't aware if what station it was . I ended up with “Lights off”.
When I woke up, An ambiance light existed inside the room and I believed I'm in an expensive hotel room, I stood up with unstable and imbalance state when I saw a very shocking scene. “I was surrounded with 10 men having s*x each other.
Yes it was, and no single woman was there, everyone were drunk. They were my co-partyphiles in Juice Bar because I can still recognized their faces despite of the Dim Light.
One man turned on the light, and I saw in one corner those used syringes and few tablets and capsules with “Sky” named embossed on it scattered on the table. But still others were still doing what they did.
“Dude, can you take me to Station 2 (where my room is located)”. I asked the guy who turned on the light.
“No, because we are both wasted and drunk, we can’t make it there , here is the Juice, drink it so that you will feel better.” He offered a glass of juice which he got from the table where the tablets were scattered.
I just found out that he drugged me, when I felt something different ….. The Rest is History.
Drugs exist in Boracay, when you rove around during at night, s*x is also in public especially in the dark part of the beach and I can prove it personally. Prostitution is a secrecy within the island but very open during at night when the darkness started to embrace the surroundings. These things are still prohibited but still exist.
Truly, Boracay is a paradise to me, but I just realized that even in a paradise, there is still darkness. In the dark, you can do what you want; you can also explore yourself and know who you are. I thought when I was young, you can’t see anything in the middle of the dark but when I experience entering it, I was able to see what is in the middle of the dark, real hidden story, real secret happenings that is invisible during day time.
That is right, ive been a in Boracay for Party,and during at night a lot happened ,
