2nd day at Boracay

After being Cinderellas the night before, we got up earlier and set out to have our breakfast at the dining area. Spread wasn't that enticing but oh well, beggars can't be choosers right!!!


Decided to chill at the swimming pool instead as the weather wasn't too good. Both BB and I clad ourselves i bikinis ready for a good tan whilst I read and BB wrote her diary. We also did silly FHM wannabe shots haha....only available for private viewing guys, sorry!





Having spent couple of hours suntanning, decided to hit the white beach downtown. Went for the famous Jonas Milkshake and tried the Longganisa Burger. Because it drizzled a bit, we had the burger in Jonas itself but the actual famous store was outside of Jonas. Who cares, we were in a trial mode.






Having explored the beach a bit, decided to go back, get changed for dinner. Rested for a short bit, showered and off we went back to town. Our newly found friend met us at our coach stop and went together for dinner at the famous Italian restaurant, Aria's. Honestly, it wasn't as great as I thought it would be.

Then our kind friend took us to visit the most luxurious hotel in Boracay, Discovery Shoes located in Station 1. Occupancy then was high hence no rooms available for viewing. If not wrong, it hovers around USD800+ onwards per night but it's really nice, high class resort feel.


Dinner and Hotel visiting was sane until we decided to party! The only club that's opened was called Cocomangas. Believe me, music was good and we made quite a few friends there. I had a blowjob shaker! It's a drink k guys, dont think crude! :P Partied till the end! Was all clean, good fun.

1st day at Boracay

We stayed in the new 3 to 4 month old Alta Vista Hotel. Well I was told that location wise is slightly off Station 1. Boracay is divided into 3 stations with Station 3 being the backpacker standard right up to Station 1, the upper end hotel/resorts.

Since the typhoon kinda died down only a day earlier, we were still skeptical about the grey weather looming over the clouds. We decided to have lunch there as we were really hungry, was almost a 14 hour journey to get to the hotel!

My lunch - Pork dish with rice

BB's lunch - Fish with rice - sux, bad mud smell!!

After lunch, we went back to our room and took a nap. Tired after the long travel. Woke up close to 6pm and decided to head to town since we had nothing better to do. Unfortunately it was drizzling and in addition to that, quite a few of the touristy places to visit cease operations because of the typhoon. How lucky we were....NOT!
Had famous "Andoks chicken" for dinner and landed ourselves in Summer Place where we had a drinks whilst being serenade by a band. BB eventually took over the mic to sing "Whats Up" and off we went back to our hotel after garnering lots of claps and whispers haha.

Andoks chicken - super yummyyyy!

Sweet looking things b4 alcohol

BB took over the mic.. :)

On Board Cebu Pacific

That's our plane alright taking us from KL to Manila. First time taking the low cost carrier of Phil. . We spent some time talking to the flight stewards as we were bored out of our wits and couldn't sleep. Faced quite a bit of turbulence because of the bad weather.

We had 2 flights to take, 1 is from KL to Manila and followed by a domestic flight from Manila to Boracay, Caticlan where we then boarded a boat to reach to our final destination.

EC Trip - Day 3

Ahhh.....last day on the island. I know this sounds unbelievable but I actually WOKE UP around 6:30am , well kinda got awaken also by my sleeping partner to see sun rise. Yes people, be nice! You can buy 4 digits, will surely strike!

What can I say, it was nice! I guess I will only do that when I am away on an island or resort for a holiday. What kind of sun rise do you expect to get if you live in a landed property plus in a bustling city!




After satisfying my sunrise picture needs, we walked to the sea. Water wasn't too cold either. Saw beautiful corals, fishes and guess what, sea cucumber too!!! There are 2 different types as shown in the pictures below.



-Updated 18th May-
After that, we headed for breakfast. Both and the other friend decided to check out the other parts (rocky bit) of the Island since we haven't done so and will be leaving soon.

The open sea is right at the back, unbelievable!!!

Lurve this pic! Taken right when the wave hit from the back

Goodbye Gem Isle with a bit of hesitation ;)

Obviously we didn't spend enough time. I will be back! (Terminator's infamous quote) and when I do, I will make sure I snorkel and do the swimming of the 800m from Gem Isle across to Kapas. Signing off from my vacation bit!
