Boracay Trip - Honeymoon Nga Ba?
Last Feb 27-March 1, we went to Boracay for our honeymoon part 1. Pero teka honeymoon nga ba siya, since meron pa kaming kasamang 5 friends, my brother, 1 baby and 1 yaya? well... We arrived Bora a day ahead of them, reason? wala to spend sana a whole day with my hubby (naks! hubby na). The problem is waaaa..... umulan the whole day pati whole night!!!! huhuhu
so... anong masasabi ko about Boracay? well... I expect a lot!
I always thought Boracay was a paradise but I am wrong... or at least in my own Point of View (para sa akin lang po ito mga peeps!) I admit I love beaches and I have never seen as fine as powdery as cold as white as Boracay sand, No beach as wide as Boracay shoreline (during low tides). Maybe Boracay was a paradise, 5-10 years ago, but now it is so crowded. Parang tuloy pag Boracay=Gimmik! I am not gimmikera kaya I didn't enjoy the Disco Bar as much as my other friends did. You can make me go to a bar and sit back and drink and get drunk but for me to dance that's one thing I'm sure I'll not do hehe I can sing but I can't dance. Actually, there are still some nice things to do than gimik lang, there are a lot of affordable beach wears, you can sit back and enjoy the sea during sunsets, walk from stations to stations. If not for the people we are with, Boracay will not be the same. Siguro if there's only Emer and Me baka not that fun.
Here's my kuwento: First day we arrive Kalibo around 1115am, we look for the one who arranges our land transfer, ride a bus to Caticlan for around 2 hours, the road is already cemented but there are a lot of narrow zigzags which is so tiring and can cause headaches. When we reach jetty terminal, we paid for the 50pesos environmental fee and another 50 pesos for the terminal fee and rode an estimated time of 10mins boat ride to reach Boracay Port. We arrive Boracay around 2pm, check in at Boracay Peninsula and look for a resto for our lunch, we walk going to station 3 and decided to eat at Casa Pilar, this is a certain no-no for recommendation coming from me, we hate the food, we ordered a sinigang that taste just like a nilaga. We paid 420 pesos for the 2 of us and we are so not satisfied. So we look for a dessert for "pampalubag loob", we walk muna sa beach to at least enjoy the water and bought halo-halo (50pesos), before going back.
After that, we stayed at the hotel the whole time super lakas ng ulan, it was already dinner time when the rain stops, so we decided to walk going to station 1 this time to look for a nice resto to dine. We found Gasthof, and for the same price we paid for our lunch, we love love the food. We ordered Inihaw na Pusit and Korean Liempo and it was so worth it. we had a good dinner that night but again the rain pours so badly that we have to run all the way to our room. tsk tsk... malas talaga our first day was so boring!
Day 2 was when the fun began, my brother and his friends arrived past 12nn, in time for lunch. We had lunch at d'Mall's Mang Inasal. Emer paid 223 for the two of us na! super mura diba? the food is sympre ok naman. After Lunch, we didn't waste anytime na, lakad lakad, chickahan and swimming. after the fun, we had snack's at St. Michael's Crepe, crepes cost around 130-200 and it can already serve 2 person (for snacks lang ha), they serve crepes nicely and most, their crepes are heavenly! After a long walk, the group decided to have dinner at Discovery Shores
. We paid 671 per person for an eat all you can salad and pasta. Honestly speaking, for a seven star hotels you'll expect more, and their pasta taste just ordinary, I'd rather eat at aVeneto. Emer and I went to sleep around 12mn while the others went out for a drink!
third day was our last whole day so we decided to make most out of it. after breakfast, nagpa-henna kami and because most of us paid for 2 henna's umabot kami ng lunchtime. So before doing anything else again we had our lunch at Paraiso Grill... sobrang not recommended ito, they cheat on people kasi, our friends had a 150g tuna and they charge for 250g, instead of explaining in a nice way, super bastos at nagdadabog pa sila, super not friendly ang mga tao! thumbs down so after lunch the
gang decided to try Jonah's Fruitshake, which a lot of friends and forumers testify that they have the best fruit shake in town AND GUESS WHAT??? they are indeed the best of the best! kaya nga sabi ko boracay = jonah's fruitshake ang maaalala ko later on. since our hotel is located just beside Regency, and since my brother and his friends said that Regency buffet is a must try we decided to have it for our last dinner together. for 550 pesos each, every dish is superb! After that, we bought pasalubongs and lakad lakad para d lumai ang tyan!
Last night nga e, so... everyone decided to enjoy the last moments together, tumambay muna kami sa napakawide na beachfront, had Artic Vodka, played dare or dare, When we had enough we decided to check out one of their bar.
We settle for beachcomber bar, we ordered 2 pitcher of their cocktail drink. said that it is a mixture of rum, vodka, tequila, orange juice, and it doesn't even taste like it has these alcohol. Walang tama! pero pwde na rin and lasa! so, after hanging around, we decided to have a walk, then nakita namin un guilly's na super daming tao, and the crowd seems having fun, so the guys decided to have a drink again! pero Emer and I decided to just go home and have a rest. Along the way, grabe we saw people having sex by the beach, ala live show. and pangit tingnan. Sobrang commercialize. there are also a lot of prostitutes. parang ang dumi na tingnan. Then I realize, if not for my sister (who wanted to go to bora) hindi na rin ako babalik. I'd rather go back to bohol or cebu. So, we retire to bed around 3am.
Last day, or I mean, last morning for Emer and Me. We woke up 7am and had a quick breakfast, we rode a bananna boat ride for our last Bora Adventure. It was already 10am and we need to pack up, the rest went off for Parasailing, and we need to go home.
Sobrang hirap pala ng feeling na aalis ka na while others are still enjoying the day. ok lang sana kung sabay sabay kaming uuwi pero the time you have to say goodbye para sa mga naiwan grabe kakainggit! hehehe
We had our last lunch at Bacolod Chicken Inasal, it is a lot expensive than Mang Inasal but it also taste more delicious than the other. It was already 12nn and we have to get going... our flight was still 450pm and we are really wondering why they fetch us early, siguro dahil sinabay na nila kami with others who have an earlier flight, para makatipid? badtrip no? we could've stayed until 1pm sa bora kesa spend almost 3 hours waiting for our flight! bad bad!
Anyway, the whole trip was really fun. It was my brother's barkada ang kasama namin pero dahil super saya nila kasama at dahil close na rin, every day spend sa bora was great because of friends. Last year we went to bohol-cebu with Mike and Arnel na so we know ok sila. Cole and Jules are also super fun kasama, Ruth is also fun to be with. Syempre my brother na sobrang masaya rin kasama, kaya right after the trip lahat kami nagplaplano na for our next destination... san nga ba? dumaguete o road trip!
And so for the wrap up, honeymoon ba to or Bora trip with friends.....
