Boracay Madness: A pre-wedding prep vacation...

Last June 15, 2007, me and bry headed to kalibo for our much awaited vacation. It was our first time to ride a plane, and knowing me...I'm really super nervous!!! And it was also our first time to go on vacation for just the two of us, and it's really FUN and ROMANTIC!!
There was an option to join our friends on an earlier date but I can't file my leave at work by that time, and yes, we are really looking forward to spend that vacation for just the two of us. It was a plan! haha...
We're not really picture addicts but we have pics of our special moments...but here in Boracay we have a lot of pics...and we just knew that we are addict on taking our own pics...above is the pic bry took overlooking the Kalibo Airport.....
Moving ahead, the moment we step foot at Boracay port, gosh I thought it was a swimming pool! (take note: it's just the port!) But yeah, when we saw the view of the whole boracay, it just seems so perfect!

We stayed at Pearl of the Pacific Resort in the posh Station One...I love the sand there...
It's really nice there, our room, the staff, the sand, the beachbeds and everything...









Enough with the beauty of station 1! Let's talk about our activities there...of course we took like an hour rest before we go out, and the first thing we did was to eat our lunch at sea lover's....wow!!! Super sarap talaga! And then we tried the Island's famous shakes!!! And then we just had a walk from there back to station 1 to change our outfits and start to enjoy the island, while on the way back to pearl we were offered to rent an ATV on the way to Mt. Luho Peak (the highest peak in Bora), of course we obliged, and that was our first activity there.

Okay, that was really tough, because it's so high and my nervous side really made me tired on that trip, but oh well, the view is really awesome and we got to see the other side of bora...
After that we just walked the whole strip of the island and get to see everything that it can offer...window shop at d'mall, viewed the sunset at our beachbeds, of course captured moments, ate dinner at gasthof, we walk our way back to the hotel and just stayed for a while by the beach before we took our rest. And that's for our first day in the island...
Hmmm...second day...first stop...ISLAND HOPPING!!! It was actually fun but the time we arrived in Crocodile Island the water was really not behave just to say...so it made us really dizzy and I got scared when bry told me that he just saw a seasnake....duh...what do you expect my reaction will be??? friends you know my reaction already...hehe...and I even begged to our boatman to stop feeding the fishes because I'm afraid that the seasnake will go near us...whatever!!!

After that, Bry's most awaited!!! JETSKI!!!

Hay, it's really tiring...but it's fun kahit mahal....hehe

After this we just hanged out at the beach beds of pearl, bry had his henna, i had my hair braided by a super nice girl, I sunbathed to have my tan, played with the sand, swam, and bry had his skim boarding tutorial with a native there...and then after that...you can't disturb him!
After this, we are really tired but sayang naman kung hindi kami lalabas....we just went to pier one after dinner....chill out session, but the rain poured a bit so we need to go inside, but it's still cool, after that we just bought some chips, water and medicines at d'mall and then we rode a tryke headed back to our hotel. To sleep!!!!
It's really sad when we woke up in the morning of our third and last day at bora...Bry and I were even talking about extending for a day, but yeah, can't please ourselves by that time because we have committments in Manila by the next day. haay!


The first thing we did was to hang out at pearl's beach beds and feel the island (since it's our last day), took pictures at Willy's rock since it's just near our hotel, swam a bit, we even took picture of ourselves at Waling Waling's famous swings...and walk ourselves to station 2 to have breakfast and had our last minute shopping for pasalubongs and ride our way back to pearl at around 10am.

When we arrived at pearl at 10am (which is the best time to swim because the water is so blue and it's going high tide already) it's like our feet was stucked in the floor and doesnt want to climb up to our room...at that moment we really like to swim even for 15min, but we can't our flight is at 4:00pm but we need to be out at 11am and need to be at Caticlan at 12:00pm and be at Kalibo Airport at 2:00pm...well yeah the 2 hour allowances were just enough for us to still enjoy the water!!! waaahhh!!!
While we are on our way to the port, there's really a feeling of sadness...we don't want to leave boracay, and it's our favorite place in the world. We'll be back for our honeymoon in January 2009. :)
