So here it is, (finally) my friends and I’s Potipot adventuuuure! 

It will be a photo-heavy post so please be patient. Haha! Actually, I tried my best to just pick atleast 10-15 pictures for this but I just can’t. The place is just so beautiful that I had to include every beautiful picture that my friends took. It’s worth it, I promise. :) 

Since we were all from the South, it was a one hell of a loooooong trip going to Zambales. But all for the love of beach, we endured the (almost) 8 hours of travel (and almost 9 hours going back). Music + side stories were our company. :)

We stayed in Sunbloom Resort for 2 days and 1 night. The resort’s fine. The room was big and spacious (we were 13), clean and the staffs were okay but not so accommodating since they weren’t replying to our emails and texts until we were just an hour away from their resort. We almost thought it was a scam. Haha! 

Rating: 4 out of 5. :)

The beach near the resort was kind of, uhm, dirty? No, not really. But we weren’t able to experience it since our goal was to go to Potipot Island which was a boat ride away from our resort. 

The ride costs 400 for 6 pax roundtrip so go! Kesa languyin mo diba? Haha chos!

Aaaand we were greeted by the white sand of the beach @_@ But wait, before you enjoy your stay, you’ll need to pay 100/pax for the entrance fee for day trip and 300 for overnight. You need to bring your own tent nga lang. 

See the difference of the sand? (Sunbloom vs. Potipot)

What can I say about Potipot? It was beautiful, no doubt about that. But I think it’s not well-maintained. I mean c’mon, 100 pesos each but we still see lumots here and kalat there? Madumi siya talaga. I’m no perfectionist pero sabi tulad ng sabi nila, “I know one when I see one.” I just wish they’ll use the money (entrance fee) to make the island more attractive because it really is a promising summer destination. #justsaying :P

Anywaaaaaay, here’s the left side of the beach. It took us 15-20 mins to find a place were we can settle our things before dipping. This part right here was the “cleanest” part for us. Some has lumot on the beach. :( No wonder the people were all here. 

But in all fairness, though some part has lumot, the water was still clear but mabato siya so ouchy sa feet. Haha!

Hangten. Hahaha! Mine and boyfie’s. 

Made by my artist bestfriend again! Our gift to Potipot. Haha!

The next day, were lucky to spot a place at the right part of the beach. It was clean (sort of) and not much people around so the place was all ours. I’m so happy! Haha!

Souvenirs of course!

Breathtaking as i’ve told you! (but spot the dumi too. :P)

Spotted this kahoy formation (what the.. haha!) and we had a little pictorial over here. Haha!

Group picture before swimming!

It was definitely a one-for-the-books trip! With these crazy friends of mine, expect an equally crazy trip. I just can’t kwento since we have this “What happens in Potipot, stays in Potipot” but.. the boys were epic performers! Hahaha. Sorry guys I really can’t help it!! :P I enjoyed this trip and i’m hoping to have another epic getaway with all of you. <3

Kisses to end this post. Sending it to all of you because I love you for reading this! :*

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

First of all, forgive my oily face in the pictures. I was wearing tons of sunblock during that time just because we’ll be under the sun the whole day. :P

What I wore during the second day of our stay in Boracay. (I’m still figuring out how will I post my OTD during our first day). We did some activities such as island hoping and snorkeling so I opted to wear light since (1) we’re on a beach (duh), (2) we’re going swimming every now and then and (3) it doesn’t look ‘showy’ at all. I was wearing a swimsuit underneath but it’s not really my style to show my whole being to the world (haha) so i’m sorry to disappoint you but no swimsuit pictures. :P

Btw, the boyfriend took these pictures and they’re all blog worthy! #Bolera Haha! It was taken near the dining area of La Carmela De Boracay (where we stayed) so imagine the looks I got from the people eating and the passers-by. Oh what I do for my blog. :P

I’m still in ‘Boracay hangover’ so expect a lot of Boracay-related posts from me this week. Uploading pictures in my FB so if your a friend of mine, get ready to make sawa on my face any moment now. Haha!

Holla lovies! 

Sorry for the lack of posts. (I keep on saying sorry, don’t I? Sorry.) Well guess what, new post here! Yaaay! 

You all know that I’ve been in Boracay last week and believe me when I say that it really is a paradise! Reaaally. Just like what Marian Rivera always say, byoootipul (beautiful)! :P 

Here are the pictures we (me, Jomer, Chase and Edward) took while we were there. I swear it’s 100x better in person but you know what they say, a picture speaks a thousand words. (haha! It’s 2am already hence, my senseless statements. :P)

Photo vomit! Enjoy! :D

Gotta love clouds! The closer, the better. ;)

Boracay during our first night.

Partial part of Pacman’s ‘Mansion’ @_@

Puca beach has to my favorite. So clean and not crowded. I can live here. 

Groto! 

Sunsets, oh sunsets. You know how I love sunsets! So calming not to mention breathtaking! Aaaahhh! 

Will be blogging my Boracay experience on my next post (probably tomorrow) so your dashboard must be ready for my loooooong post. It’ll be legen…wait for it…dary! Ha!

2011, as you all know, was a very veeeery good year to me. I must have done something good or maybe, 2010 has been so hard on me that 2011 needed to make bawi. I want to believe in the first reason but I think the second one’s more appropriate. :P 

I intentionally didn’t make this post as my year-ender because I never really wanted the year to end. Buuuut, I will never let this blog continue without bragging how awesome my 2011 was so here I am, about to enumerate the reasons why 2011 is by far, the best year for me.

1. I got to explore the Philippines! It’s my dream to travel around the world but I want to do that after I travel around the Philippines. You know, our country is very beautiful if we’ll just learn to appreciate it more and if we would just try not to destroy it. #itsmorefuninthePhilippines right?

Avilon Zoo. (Jan 2011)

Ilocos (April 2011)

Mindoro/Puerto Galera (May 2011)

Laiya, Batangas (May 2011)

Okay, I know, too much pictures. Just so beautiful not to post them!

2. I had a chance to watch NBA players. Live. In the Philippines! Such a once-in-a-blue moon event to happen in our country and I was so lucky to be able to get a glimpse of Kobe Bryant, etc. at the Big Dome! It was such a hit so I know that there’ll be more of that but as they say, nothing beats firsts! Ha!

Ultimate All-star weekend. (July 2011)

3. I got to attend events as a ‘blogger’! I have been blogging since I can’t remember when(I have a blog in my Friendster/Multiply accounts) but it was more of a personal one and was just for Friends’ view. Never did I imagine that i’ll be able to do what i’m doing right now (blogging about this, about that) and i’ll be able to meet people who have the same passion as mine and get inspired by them. This year (2011), I started attending events with my friends and was able to learn new things and this blogging made me more confident with my style and everything. Seriously, this isn’t an easy job so I salute each and every blogger I know. 

Blogapalooza (September 2011)

Freeway Event (October 2011)

Multiply Shopping Party (October 2011)

MEG Up and Coming Party (November 2011)

Blogger United 2 ( December 2011)

Snoe Beauty Inc. Event (December 2011)

The top 3 reasons why I love my 2011. Didn’t include my Family, Friends and the Boyfriend because of course, it’s given that they have been a part of me already. Happy or sad. Good or Bad. For better or for worst. :)

Everything has been memorable to me that when you ask me, i’ll answer it without thinking. Looking back to this epic events in my life, all I can say is that, I think 2012 has a lot of work to do to beat 2011.

Well 2012, bring it on!!
