Boracay Island Trip

Finally, I got to visit Boracay and experienced how to be a bum in this beautiful island! - December 2012

Beach Bumming at Station-2

With Mhilen and Micka

It was my first time to visit the place and unfortunately, I don't have any good quality camera to take high-resolution pictures so, all pictures here are from my phone and from tablet. Boracay is famous for its white fine sands and blue waters. To be honest, this place is much beautiful than Bali - beach wise. The small island is filled with lively people all out to have a good time.

Eary morning at the beach front...

You can find many sand art over the place made by the locals. Take a picture with it and just give donations.

Anyway, if you are looking for something that would be related to history or culture to see in this place like those in Bali, well, you have to forget it as this place is really just for hanging out and unwinding up.

You will notice that there are no person at my back. Kakauwe lang kasi nila! LOL

As a beach bum, I have to say that I like the island as it is lovely and just blue. Though there are a lot of people walking around, you can still feel relaxed. Maybe because people walking around are just relaxed too. :)

Willy's Rock Formation at Station-1

The island has three famous stations. Stations 1 to 3. Each station is different. Station 1 has the most expensive hotels and the sand is whiter and really fine. The second station I would say is the busiest. Here you can have your food trips and bar hopping. I would name it as the Entertainment Station. LOL! I have not gone to the third station but they say the sand in there is not as fine as the 2 stations. No idea how it look like. Hahaha!

You can find a lot of stores in Station-2 and Station-1.

By the way, if you are planning to visit Boracay, you have to try the night life here as this is what the island is also famous for.

I got to experience this but since I am not a fan of loud music, I just stay in a bar where there is just a man singing with a guitar. I got to try the Mojito and joined it with San Mig Light.

For my first time in Boracay, I can recommend it for people who just like to unwind and have a good time. It is a safe place for a vacation. I will definitely go back someday!

Special Lugaw with Famous Ilocos Bagnet in Banchetto

One of the things I love when I am on a graveyard duty is the challenge of staying awake and lively throughout the night. Eating is one of the ways I can achieve that. Maybe that is one reason why I also get chubby after a month of night duty. LOL! It was July when I started working at night. I listened to every advice that I received just to be able to stay awake - listen to the radio (Papa Jack), drink coffee, drink water, sleep at 10 am, eat every now and then, and more. (Kinareer!!! ^^,) In all those suggestions, seems that only eating works. And since eating is the only solution, I tried eating nuts, junk food, ice cream, and finally discovered one of the food that awakens me every time I feel sleepy. Wow Lugaw's Lugaw with Bagnet! One serving of Lugaw with Bagnet The first time I tried eating this, I couldn't help but take time to savor the tasty congee and the crispy bagnet! I added chili powder, pepper, chicken powder and a lot of toasted garlic to further...

Red Car and Me

My mother always tells me stories about my childhood whenever we have “bonding time” or may I say, every time we are together. She really knows everything about my childhood and she enjoys telling me those funny stories. We even laugh till we drop! But my childhood stories that momma tells are not always funny. So whenever I have questions like “San ko nakuha ang peklat na to ma?” “Ano nangyari sa akin noong ganito ganyan?” I ask her and tada!!!! Kwentuhan na naman! Sometimes, it can make me realize things and understand why I am this way now. Those stories even though sad make me smile just remembering it happened to me. I hate crying so whenever I know momma is about to cry, I crank jokes and make her laugh. Those mementos are not to make us sad but happy. That is what I believe. One of those stories which I cannot consider sad nor happy but … I don’t know, is the one which took place when I was about to turn eight. It was so remarkable in my life. I witnessed how much...

You Haven’t Gone to Baler Yet? Here’s What You've Missed!

When talking about getaways nearby the Metro, one of the places I usually recommend is Baler. With only six hours of drive away from Manila, this place is good for groups who are adventure seekers during weekends. This part of the country was one of the least explored before; but now, it is starting to catch the attention of travelistas in the metro. I think this sort of ‘popularity’ started when KrisTV (a local TV program showcasing anything under the sun hosted by Kris Aquino) visited this place last January 2014. I still can remember when I first visited this place with my barkada last 2009, we were the only tourists along the beach and no surfers were there. It was just a countryside town – quaint and serene. But now, it has become a tourist spot with growing commercial establishments all around. So now, do you know what is it about Baler that keeps people – surfers, photographers and just travelers – coming to this place? Below are the reasons why and might make you r...
