Uno Noche in Boracay Part 2

Image
Clock's ticking as the fun times always end too soon. Few more hours to breathe in here.  Woke up from Loco Frio's frozen cocktail slumber the night before. It was probably Bailey's and Rum. I can't recall exactly what was the concoctions but it was good.  A must try drink only in Boracay.  Packed everything, showered and ready for breakfast. Breakfast at the hotel was typical Filipino ones I like. Corned beef, egg, rice and yellow watermelon on my plate. And oh, O.J to quench the thirst! Happy me, happy tummy! :) We had another day to enjoy till sunset before going back to Kalibo.  Puffy clouds, sun shines, crystal clear waters and white sandy beach makes a happy feet. It's amazing I am no longer allergic to sands. Or maybe just this beach? Pero siempre a beautiful morning to begin with. Strolling down the beach,  One end to another,  It gave us the itch,  Calamansi muffin, we are in search for.  So we finally found 'R

Una Noche in Boracay Part 1

This is a throwback story of mine, when my homies and I boarded a plane to the Philippines on the 25th of February 2014.  A year has passed, where I made a sort of last minute decision for the trip to Boracay, Philippines. I was kind of lucky as I got a cheaper flight ticket so I've decided to just go with the flow. We were on board AirAsia airplane from home, Kota Kinabalu, to Manila's Terminal 4 airport. After we have landed, we actually have few hours to kill before our next flight to Kalibo. It was a pleasant flight although the domestic terminal airport was not really a pretty sight. We went to SM Mall of Asia right after by taxi to have some lunch and some prepaid card for a new cellphone/handphone number. Another flight and it was already dark when we've reached the small town of Kalibo. And ride came to send us to our hotel which was just minutes away. Pretty sweet for just few hours eh? The next day, we were already up like super duper early in order

Daytrip to Pagsanjan Waterfalls

Another throwback story to share. A day after coming back from Kalibo to Manila. I think it was our last day there. We had a change of plans to go for a day trip to Pagsanjan Waterfalls instead.  Yet again, a zombie mode for all of us as we barely had enough sleep.  We didn't want to waste time getting stuck in the traffic jam, so we were up early to have our favourite Filipino breakfast before our family driver came. Long way on a highway, everyone know how bad traffic jam can be in a busy, congested city. It's always nice to find delicious snacks on our pit stop to the convenient store/gas station/comfort room.  We all shared this. Baked and cheesy!  And just had to snap this because we were stucked in traffic and obviously I was bored in the van.  On the highway in Laguna, To where we were finally in the city of Calamba.  Passed through rice fields, hills and mountains. Signboards and lots of swimming pool places. Or wha
