Chronicles of my Boracay trip

These aren’t ALL the pics, just a couple I’ve chosen to upload to my blog. The rest of the pics can be found right here, my webshots album. Just click on the album labeled “Boracay in October.”

The rains welcomed us as we landed in Caticlan. Baaah, humbug. We were drenched to the bone as we ran for cover from the plane onto the lounge.

The sky may be cloudy and the waves may be high but who cares? I’m one happy little bunny in Boracay!

We had a sancastle building contest. Let me tell you, my group and I had a very good vision of our sandcastle… too bad we weren’t able to do justice to that vision!

We had an “Amazing Race” contest. It took us all over Boracay. Here I am with my groupmates. We were exhausted but still in high spirits. Top 12 out of 15 groups isn’t too bad right?

Low tide called for a parade of sailboats by the seashore. I was a bit sad seeing those “G” (Globe Telecom) banners on each sailboat. It took the magic out of the vacation for me. Those G sails were reminders of civilization and the city, two things I didn’t want to think about while on vacation.

The classic Jonah’s shake. This is Banana Peanut. It was so refreshing and delicious. My officemate got a Choco Banana Peanut shake, and it tasted like bananas with crushed Chocnut. My other officemate got a Mango Pineapple shake — delish!!!

Everyone was too exhausted after the race to play a game of volleyball. But as the sunset drew closer, a ball was brought out and trickles of officemates started bouncing a ball around.

One of those party nights. Shortly after this pic was taken, my friend and I got a Red Horse bottle each and waded in the beach. Sheer bliss!!! Feeling the waves around your waist, staring up into the stars while being slightly inebriated is a beautiful feeling indeed.

The famous streetside (or sandside?) barbecues. My favorite was the jumbo hotdog. They bbq’d it and covered it with a sweet sauce. Oh yum! It cost P30 but it was worth every bite.

There’s something about Boracay no photograph and no words can capture. Boracay is something you have to experience for yourself to understand how one can rave so much about it.

Boracay Bloggers EB anyone? Hehehe. Here’s to relaxation, rejuvenation and to nature’s beauty. Cheers!

Hi! I'm Toni Tiu, and I've been blogging at at Wifely Steps since 2003. This started as a blog to help newly weds adjust to married life. It has evolved into a home and parenting blog.
