Yesterday I returned home from a blissful five days in Boracay in the Philippines. The trip was perfect, bookended a painful travel experience on Cebu Pacific Air. A few years ago I lost my patience with the crap to which budget airlines subject us. I am now prepared and financially comfortable with parting with S$50 for a better experience. But in this case the travel reservations were made by my girlfriend’s friend. So, I summarily lost my right to bitch. Nonetheless, here I am.
