Day 2 Boracay- Whole day water sport activity

Oh ya we stayed in the La Carmela de Boracay, located nearby station 2.

There are 2 swimming pools, the front, which used for Scuba diving lesson and the back, for kids and adult's swimming. 

Front pool

Back pool

Lobby

So day 2, we went to do the water sport activities, for PHP1800. 

I know it's quite expensive but hey, this is the reality. The vendor charged us higher price because we are foreign tourists. 

If only I can speak Tagalog, maybe they will give discounted price.

So the funny story is that, almost all local that we met, treat and speak to me in Tagalog, coz my face and hair look like locals. or maybe more like Filipina maid, I guess. LOL. But once I open my mouth and talk then no more discounted price. Sadnessss.....

 So off we went to Station 1, to ride ATV to Mt Luho, the highest point in the island.

OMG! Amazed by God's creation!

My dream house

Again, my DREAM house

And then, we went for a Zorb.

Yep, Zorb.

That ball, and we went inside that ball,  to be deliberately thrown and somersault and kick each other's butt for a good 8 seconds.

Nah! this ball, am talking about!

Yes! We did it!

And to celebrate our survival, we had a local food for a lunch. 

I like this one, Taho, with tapioca balls. 

This is a Filipino salad style 

Sinegang
(Sweet and sour pork prawn soup) 

Chicken and Pork and Flakes Adobo
(meat seasoned with the sweet soy sauce) 

So after lunch, we are happy and contented again!

 Next! Go to Reef Walking!

Aiya so feeling kena cheated because the vendor didn't give us the photos/ video CD of us reef walking.

Don't know why I so happy here.
Basically before going down to seabed, I put 20kg helmet on my head, the helmet filled with O2 so that we can walk walk walk and feed all the little fishes.

That's the end of our water sport activity!  

Next! Willy's rock!

It's just the rock with Mary's statue on it

Mary is one of my fave Bible characters so love it to the max visiting this rock! :-)

Love this photo to the max, too!

Just a normal milk-shake, Nah! nothing special!

So after a long tiring day, we went back to hotel to freshen up and go out again to hunt food for dinner.

We ate dinner at Gerry's Grill

Pork knuckles
WOW! so fatty and meaty

Beef ribs! Best meat and sauces!

This is Station 1 at night.

Not contented enough, we ate supper at Hawaiian Bar-B-Que.

Try the Best pork ribs and shrimp BBQ so yummy!

Too much ate meat at the same time made me want to puke!

So that's that! Day 2 is over!

Day 1 Boracay

Day 1- Holiday to Boracay

It's been in my bucket list to go to Boracay and finally it's a dream come true.

Why Boracay? Let's the pictures explain it later:


Oh ya but before that, how to go Boracay from Singapore. It's pretty troublesomely long and tiring journey actually.

From Singapore, we need to air transport (by flight, thanks to Tiger Air) to Kalibo International Airport for 4 hours.

And then, land transport (by coach) to Caticlan Jetty port for 2 hours, or should I say, 2,5 hours plus the waiting time.

And at last, sea transport ( by Ferry) to Boracay island which take around 15 mins.

So total we spent the whole day to reach this island.

Sounds scary?

But it's ok, although it's been like hell we went air, land, and sea transport, until my bums wanna explode, but it's worth it. Seriously.


Ok, Let's the pictures explain:

Flight which took about 4 hours

Reach Kalibo airport!

In the waiting room for a ferry boat ride

Why the sea-port is like abandon one in Resident Evil!?

this is Ferry or rather uhm...boat...

Our room, quite spacious and pretty decent
No mosquito flying around. 

I found this! Holy Bible in our room! :-)

And then after check-in hotel, we went for a dinner at Christina's, it's a casual Italian restaurant.

Swimming pool outside the hotel

And then we went to D'mall to sightseeing and buy some necessities and go back to our hotel for a good rest night. 

Pretty much tiring and we just want to have a good night rest for tomorrow whole day activity

That's for day 1.

R3storation Gr0up

There is something different this March.

I've been attending this special group (yes, last week was our first group meeting) and surprisingly, we all really can click that well. To each other. Very well.

Honestly speaking, we are from different background, different age, and different nationalities. But we still can click very well.

Maybe we have something in common...Maybe we have a same faith...Maybe we are women...Maybe we are God's women, who chase after God's love... I don't really understand. But it was so embracing that we could, you know, open up to each other, told stories and testimonies, encourage each other's, and the list goes on...

Knowing the facts, that I am not alone. Many people surrounds me who really support me and listening to my stories, well.

Knowing the facts that, there is an ultimate and powerful God, Jesus Christ, who stands beside me and watches me every single breath, well.

Knowing those facts makes me contentedly happy. Knowing those facts makes me come out those teary joy! That's the power of knowledge, I suppose :-)

OK, enough for rambling...I'm still working on Boracay's post. will update you very very soon!

God bless, everyone! Happy Sunday!
