Boracay 2012!
Warning: This is one hell of a long-photo-heavy-but-definitely-worth-it blog post. :)
So this is it. Probably my last post about my Boracay trip. But because I want to share to you how fun it is in the Philippines, i’ll make it as detailed as possible because I know that this trip won’t happen again anytime soon. If I have a chance, i’ll definitely go back!
Meet my tripmates. Remember my blogs about my Ilocos trip? (If you haven’t seen it yet, click here, here and here). I was with them too and Jomer and I were lucky enough because they tagged us along in this trip. They must have enjoyed our presence. Haha. :P
It was our first flight together (or our both first airplane ride) and it sucks coz’ we weren’t seated beside each other. :| And seriously, the ride was really a pain in the ears!
Hello Boracaaaaay (Airport)! :D
Boat to Kalibo? I’m not really sure. :P
We stayed in La Carmela De Boracay and I must say, the place was…I can’t describe it. Haha! Let’s just say that i’m happy we stayed there. The room was spacious, comfy, fully air-conditioned and clean! As for the service, not so much.
No time to rest because we decided to do some activities after we landed in Boracay. Making the most out of it is the key!
First up was the Banana Boat. Not that fun since we were just being pulled by a boat and nothing exciting happened.
But wait, there’s more! Not planned but we also tried Fly Fish and boy was it scary! Really! Buwis-buhay! Haha! See the pictures above? Yes, that’s us! It was 100x better than banana boat so I suggest you try it if you’re planning to go to Boracay. It super worth risking!
Then we just roamed around before going home to change clothes and have dinner and watch the fire dance. (No picture though)
2nd day was such a long day for all of us. Woke up as early as 7am(?) because we have such a fun-filled activities to cherish. :P
The boyfriend and I had our henna tattoos since Jomer is itching to have a permanent one but I won’t allow him. So ayan, makuntento ka sa henna. Haha!
Oh! Don’t you just love this paparazzi-ish photo? Haha. Artista much eh?
Yes please, Boracay is so beautiful so please please, as a customer and as a Filipino, take good care of it.
*Insert friends’ comments: Uyy.. bakit ka umiihi jan?* Haha!
First activity that day was to go to Puca Beach. I swear that place was heavenly. I can totally stay the whole day there but sadly, we didn’t stay that long because we need to go to do some snorkeling! Yay!
I swear to God that I saw Nemo and his house! Superb! We have some underwater videos using Jomer’s iTouch and I can’t wait to show it to you. We fed the fishes. Best feeling everrrr.
Then after the amazing Island hopping (can you call it that? Haha!), we prepared ourselves for our super late lunch (almost 4pm) and we decided to have it in d’ talipapa, a dampa-like in Boracay where you can buy whatever you want in the market and you have it cooked in a cooking service resto and then eat it there. Super bloated after eating everything! We all just wanted to go home and sleep. Haha. #buhaybaboy. Anyway while waiting for the food to be cooked, Jomer and I roamed around and found this couple-ish i ♥ Boracay sando. We just couldn’t let go of it. Haha!
Right after lunch, we (the remaining 6) decided to go to the groto since we haven’t been there yet and since the sun was about to set, we might as well watch it there.
I just had to have it. Kinda obligatory. Haha! :P
And I wasn’t wrong about Boracay sunsets. It was as beautiful as the picture above (or moooore beautiful). You know how I love sunsets right? It really gives me that “aaaaaaahhhhhhhh” feeling everytime I see one. So relaxing.
Aaand I just had to have a picture with it.
Another reason why we went there was to finally have a sip of the infamous Jonah’s fruitshake. Infairness, it was really delicious! Very tasty and Jomer being pikihan with everything, liked his chocolate shake so much!
And then we went home and slept the whole night. #LolaAndLoloModeOn. Haha! Super tired that we didn’t make it to one of our friend’s birthday salubong and experience the nightlife in Boracay. Boo!
Come to the third day, we woke up later than the usual not knowing that we only have until after lunch to check out. Engk! Yes, it was our last day in Boracay. :( We needed to be in Kalibo by night because our flight was super early the next day. So the last day was like a race because we needed to move fast. Haha!
It was also pasalubong time a.k.a ubusan ng pera time. Haha! I wanted to buy so much but the time was so short. Oh whyyyyy.
But the check out thing doesn’t stop us from doing our last Boracay activity. What we did with our things was to left if at the hotels baggage counter. Well, everybody does that!
We did the ATV-ing! At first I was so scared that I won’t be able to control it because I thought it was heavy but all the worries were gone once I pushed the start button. It felt surreal (OA). Haha. Sorry but I was just so happy that I had the guts to try it. Most of the time, i’ll ask Jomer if I can sit beside him (like the car something in EK) but this time, I promised myself to try it. And I did. And I had sooo much fun although I still asked Jomer to stay at my back to watch me and instructed me every now and then. Haha! I love how supportive he is! <3
We saw this on our first stop over. Cuteeeee!
Overlooking!
And then we saw this transformer and we couldn’t go without having a pic with it.
Yaaaaan! So fuun!
And look! 29. <3
Anyway, we left Boracay (huhu) after the activities so we can be in Kalibo before the sun was out but we got there later than expected. We stayed in Queen’s Inn which was by the way, soo scary. Haha!We just had dinner and called it a night.
And here comes the hardest part of all. Going home. Going back to reality. :( Haha drama! :P
This time, we were seatmates! Yay!
So gay but so kyooot!
Of course i’ll still include this. Haha!
My first vacay this 2012 was such a blast! It was relaxing and fulfilling and although it gave me an I-don’t-want-to-go-back-to-Manila-anymore feeling, i’m still thankful to God for always, always giving me blessings when I least expect it.
This ends my Boracay madness. Haha!
Oh, it’s February now and i’m going somewhere again! Better watch out for it!!
