Rain in Summer

Image
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 shower yet, honest t

Boracay Travel 2017



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 will recommend you to book your activities when you're there already because you can negotiate with the tour guide at affordable prices. These activities cost 2,500.00/person (on our case).
