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!
The night was full of fun and screams when we entered the horror booth located at Parkmall, Cebu. Last year, we visited the same booth. Compared to last year's theme to now, this year's theme is a lot more scarier and the theme is "The Hospital". You will only spend for just about 15 minutes with those bloody nurses, doctors and patients. Amidst the strange echoes, harrowing sudden noises, and terrifying surprises awaits inside the booth. Are you scared now? Wanna know what's inside? Well, I don't want to tell everything here, I want you and your friends experience the booth. Location: 2nd level, Parkmall, Mandaue City, Cebu Admission fee: 50.00/person Guidelines: Have fun and enjoy!
What is your best piece of advice about life? Everyone relates to this. Each of us has a lot of happenings in life. A person right now might be in a situation of struggling while other is just chilling. If you are following on my social media accounts, I posted the question and I am glad and thankful that some of my friends are very supportive and answered it. What makes it more amazing is that they are not afraid of sharing of what they have learned and it's helping a lot of people especially in today's generation. So, I listed few of those who answered my question and give some comments about it. Happy reading! 1. Do good of your life and do not let anyone ruin your dream(s). Push it and be happy! - @terinasan Always do good in your life, I know there are different ways of defining doing good. But please if you think that it is good then keep it up. 2. Enjoy it... YOLO (You only live once) - @bestkaren17 Life is too short and should enjoy every single moment ...
Most Filipinos are from a family where most are Catholics. One of the traditions that is being celebrated every year is the Holy Week. It is a very sacred time to recollect the last of Jesus' life. The time of taking reflections of the sacrifices Jesus has done to mankind. It is also the best time to examine our personal live, especially our deeds. Holy week is celebrated in different ways. Some spend time with their families, travel internationally or locally, etc. How did you spend yours? Like everyone else, I always look forward for the Holy Week to go home in the province and do everything different from the daily routine in the city. These are the things that I did during the Holy Week: 1. Sleeping That day when we arrived in the province, my body was in hibernate mode. From an overnight travel I already slept like almost 10 hours. Then when I got home, I slept again, after lunch and dinner I slept. You can call me now the sleeping beauty but I don't have beaut...
