It’s been a while since the last blog post I made, writing this while in the rhythm of the falling rains. It is summer season here in the Philippines, we started to feel the heat during the month of March. Summer but raining, I know right? Today is Sunday and the rain is still pouring yesterday. It hasn’t stopped yet. Before the rain happened, it was very, very hot, well, I don’t know if you guys can feel it too. Let me know if you have the same feeling. But still, I am very thankful that of rains because it gives us a cold environment, taking a pause from the heat, especially that we are weekend days. The sky is gray, Mr. Sun is not showing and no heavy winds. To be honest, my perspective of being productive was changed or let’s say updated. I used to describe it by accomplishing major tasks; going outside to buy something, cleaning, cooking, washing clothes and etc. But now, it has been two days today, I did nothing of those mentioned tasks. I haven’t taken a s...

It has proven by a lot of people that Boracay is one of the best beaches found in the Philippines. It is very known to its sand's texture, fresh air, parties, fun activities and more. Yes, without a doubt Boracay, now, is a smidgen swarmed but I think it would be occasional.
Here are the details of our travel from Cebu to Boracay:
Getting to Boracay:
From SM Cebu City, ride MyBus to Mactan International Airport and it cost 25.00/person.
By an airplane, we had the last flight which was 11:40 pm and arrived at Kalibo International Airport at 12:45 am.
When in Kalibo International Airport, ride a van going to Jetty Port and the fee is 200.00/person. Travel time is 1.5 - 2 hours. In our case, we were just 6 passengers with the same trip to Jetty Port. The driver couldn't find other passengers, so he asked for 1,400.00/special trip in order for us to travel right away.
At Jetty Port, ride a boat going to Cagban Port, Boracay Island. Fees: environmental fee - 75.00/person, terminal fee - 100.00/person, boat - 75.00/person for non-Aklanon while 35.00/person for Aklanon.
At Cagban Port, ride a tricycle going to Station 1, Station 2, and Station 3. It will depend where your accommodation is located. The tour guide that we had told us that the fare going to station 2 is 100.00/trip only, but we paid 150.00 because we didn't know how much it was at the first place.
Note: Amounts are in PHP currency
In going home, just reverse the steps above.

Things to do:
You cannot say that you enjoyed Boracay unless you experience the activities there. So better save-up money because surely you'll get to enjoy it. Activities are expensive, but there are people in there that will offer packages at a good price.

I'd like to share to you a summary of our trip, just click the video below and don't forget to watch in HD. Hope you enjoy the video!
2017 was a year full of travels with friends, family and the love of my life. This year, I got a chance to travel again. Due to hectic schedule I haven't prepared our itinerary. I did some research where to go and it led me to go to Camotes Islands, specifically the town of San Francisco . Actually, I have been there already, I think it was a year ago. It was just a one day travel and had an overnight camping at Santiago Bay. This is my second time visiting the island and I still love how it is now. The beach in Santiago is still open for public, glad that it wasn't acquired yet. Unlike with some known islands, some struggling with a sewerage problem, some became crowded and polluted. Camotes is still a fresh, beautiful and amazing island. An island worth to visit. So, here are the highlights of our trip in Camotes Islands. 1. Caving Paraiso Cave Note: Entrace fee is 40.00 each. Timubo Cav...
"Spontaneous evenings out are dependably the best ones", the group had a hard time to think where to go. Some wanted to play board games, drink espresso, karaoke, and so on., however then, we wind up a crisp night at The Monastery . It's located at the Veteran's Drive in Apas, Lahug, Cebu City. The place is more vivacious around evening time with its astonishing lights, acoustic tunes, reasonable sustenance and beverages. Al Fresco The two things that I adore the most about The Monastery are its chill vibe, which makes you have an inclination that you are comfortable, and the way that it is ideal for both night out and a fun night with companions. For a sentimental night, I suggest sitting in the Al Fresco area, where you can appreciate a glass of wine while listening to an unwinding music playing and they do have live bands as well. The Al Fresco area is encompassed by charming shining...
