Mabuhay! Boracay, Philippines! =)

This is a long overdue post. I was too busy (I'm actually still very busy =S) to blog about my last 2 trips. I'll write this one now, but don't know when I'll be able to write again for the other. =S Middle of this year, I went to explore one of the best places to visit here in my county, the Philippines, which is Boracay! We surely have some of the most beautiful beaches and I'm proud to say that. =) Many tourists visit Boracay for a cheap but relaxing vacation. The sand is as white as ever and the water as blue as crystals. The last time I visited Boracay was about 7 years ago. So when I went back, there's a lot of new things to see.

We drove from Manila to Baguio for about 6 hours, but don't fret because they have planes going to baguio too which will only take you around 45 minutes to get there. =) We spent 3 days and 2 nights visiting the places and though we didn't get to visit all Baguio has to offer, it's a very nice visit nonetheless. ^^ First we looked for a hotel, we didn't book in advance because we want to make sure the hotel will have enough parking space for our car. We first visited SM Baguio for it's view deck where you can see the most of the city with cool air blowing on your face. Then went to the market place where we bought some fresh fruits and veget...

Hello Davao! Friday, September 7th, 2007 i just remembered that i didn’t write about my recent davao trip! it’s my first time to the clean city of davao and it’s a really beautiful city. went there with 2 other friends and met there by our davaoenia (did i spell that right?! hehe) friend, who is so hospitable and generous and nice and everything else that it made our trip extra wonderful! she became our tour guide, driver, interpreter, etc. and without a complain! you know who you are! thank you! thank you! thank you very much! =) i eat durian, the smell didn’t bother me at all… but after trying to finish a whole durian (only the 4 of us) and eating durian ice cream and shopping for other goodies that are all durian made, i think i’ll pass with the durian for a while. =S the beach! i love the beach! the water is so clear!!! pearl farm is beautiful but not worth the money if you go on a day tour, maybe for overnight stay, it would be more worth it. but stil...
