day 3 we took an early flight to boracay! paradise!! haha. but wasnt tat easily accessible. first we had to tk a domestic flight to caticlan. den a tricycle to e ferry terminal. den a ferry ride to boracay.
so after crossing air/land/sea, we finally arrive at boracay! our hotel tat we stayed in was nigi nigi (wondered wat it meant but didnt have a chance to ask e pple) i have no complains abt tis place man. except tat it could have been more sunny in e day n more starry at nite. loved e chill/relaxing vibe there! everyone always smiling/friendly and nice.
time flies when u're having rum. hahas. v true.
despite it being a tourisy place, tings there were really cheap. so cheap u dun have to tink when u spend. u noe wat i mean? u just order/buy anyting u wan. e sand there was white n fine n e water was so clear!
we had a great buffet dinner w live music and went to another bar to chill later in e nite. e red stuff in e bottom right corner is actually a mosquito net which e resort set up for us. how nice!
day 4 planned to go out on a saiilng boat but e wind was toooo strong. oh well. but we just couldnt leave e place w/o goin out at sea. so we settled for a motor boat which brought us snorkellin and to tis island for lunch. tot e bottom right pic is really funny! hahas. these pple who brought us out were really nice and u totally feel lk they are not out to cheat ur money just coz we're tourist. u noe wat i mean? life on e island is really laid back and chill! just e way i like it! loved boracay!
nite falls n we're back in manila. went to fort bonifacio for italian dinner. food and service was really gd (they served dessert w chilled fork)
so our flight was at 850pm. n by e time we got on e cab to e airport, it was alr lk 620pm. so we boarded e cab n e driver said given e traffic it'll tk 3hrs to reach e airport! MY HEART ALMOST JUMPED OUT OK! after much pleading he said he'll try to make it in 2hrs. my foot lor! he took wrong turns/drove so slowly when there were no cars ahead saying he cant go beyond e sp limit as we see buses zoom past. big buses ok!!! those travel faster than him!!!!!!! nearly knocked him unconscious so tat i could tk over e wheels ok! worse still, when we were near e airport alr (lk finally!) he took a wrong turn again!!! n had to ask arnd for directions. mins were ticking by! i was alr making mental prep tat we'll miss our flight. i mean we need time to check in n all rt. n finally we reached and made it! thanks to v v nice n helpful airport staff! we were lk super unglam dashin into e airport lar. den passing e security checks we were supposed to produce our passports which were locked in our case. we just threw everyting on e floor to open our cases (we had lotsa shopping bags w us which we had no time to pack into our baggage) n e security guard being so nice let us pass n even inform e check in counter (which was alr closed) tat we're here to check in.
both of us were super thankful tat we made it. can u imagine otherwise? in tat ulu pandan airport w no more flights flyin out till e next nite. e last leg of e holiday really spiced up e whole trip man! so much tat on e plane our adrenaline levels were still so high!
anw really glad tat we came back in one piece. tinkin back, manila is indeed not v safe. esp for 2 small lil gals. hahas. e nice fam actually asked what were we tinking coming to manila like tat. hahas.
but all in all i tink tis was a really quite an experience. thanx to my wonderful companion cum treasurer who took care of our common fund.
