Monday to Wednesday

Our second day in this beautiful island was spent on a closed deal made with Kuya Danny – Helmet Diving, Island Hopping and Flying Fish.

Vincent and I have tried Reef Walk on our previous visit, so we opted not to try it again since it only gave us headaches and ear pain. Haha. We waited in the balsa while the honeymooners (Tin and Raymond) enjoyed Nemo’s kingdom. :)

Our next activity was supposed to be Island Hopping, but due to some technical problems our boat had, we ended up doing Flying Fish at around 10 a.m. Yes, 10 a.m. ay kasikatan ng araw! I think that’s what made me darker up until today.

Sadly, we didn’t have photos of us (again) being thrown out by the “fish”. I am sooo happy and proud (smirking ;p) that I did it again without falling! Only then I realized I have strong grip on things. Haha. If only we were extremely multi-tasking, one arm would be gripping and the other holding on a camera, we could have taken photos of our fun experience! But of course, this was impossible. Now I am sure – this is my favorite water ride! :)

After tiring ourselves on the Flying Fish, we then headed on to Island Hopping. First stop was Crocodile Island. We snorkeled for about 30 minutes. Too bad the current was so fast, we didn’t enjoy it that much. We needed to hold on to the rope to stop us from going elsewhere, while dipping our faces in to the water. Talk about another tiring activity.  

Our next and last stop was Puka Beach where we had our lunch. Food was fresh, cheap and great! Unfortunately, both our cameras had low batteries so no photos were shot. No proof of us dropping by there. Haha.

We were all tired and the last thing we needed was a relaxing swim in the hotel’s pool! Ma-experience lang man and sosy pool. :)

We had dinner at Burger Bite, had dessert at Ice Monsters and lasty, drinks at Station 3 and 2. Forgot the names. :p

Monday to Wednesday

I feel so blessed to have visited Boracay twice for the first quarter of 2011. My goal is to make the most of my remaining months enjoyable before I leave. Luckily, my schedule has been filled with beach getaways. Whohoo!

Our trip this time around is waaay better compared to that of last March, well, this is expenses wise. THIS TRIP WAS FOR FREE! Oha, nothing beats the joy brought by complimentary stuff, especially that I am super attracted to such.

Our expenditures only include our meriendas, lunch and dinner meals, night outs and activities. Overall, I spent only about P2500. Well, most of my meals were paid by Vincent and, Raymond and Tin settled our gimmick fees on our second night.

Thanks to Vincent's very outstanding performance at work, he was given the Club Excelente 2010 Award from Indra, his company. Galing! (Yes, I am a proud girlfriend :)) One of the incentives he received was a trip for two in Boracay valid for the entire year.

The reward encompasses air fare, daily breakfast and accommodation in Regency Hotel Boracay. Yes, Regency Hotel Boracay. Oh diba sosyal! :)

We were in Boracay at around 10 am, and our room was not yet ready for check-in. We strolled the beach and had lunch at I Love Backyard Bbq. Food was good and in big serving. :)

We had henna's painted while Kuya Danny negotiated to us fun water activities. In all fairness to him, his deals were reasonable. And he was indeed, FAMOUS. :p    

Our first activity was to drive an all-terrain vehicle (ATV) all the way to an overlooking rooftop.

I enjoyed driving it even though I can't reach the pedals. Haha. Had to position myself near the edge of the seat, not able to lean. Okay lang nag-enjoy naman ako. Besides, who cares?! :)

When we got back to the beach, the sun was about to set. Here are some photos that caught me speechless. It is in fact the best sunset I've ever seen. Pae was right after all. :) These captures are SUPER gorgeous in real life. Btw, no editions done for these.  

We had dinner at Manana. I liked my food, but still favor the burritos I've tried the first time.

We ended the night with drinks at Guilly's. Better songs this time! :)
