Boracay

I'm back from Boracay and i'm already missing the island so much!!! The ride to Boracay was a little dreadful cause we had to take a 3.5h plane ride to Kalibo, 2h bus ride to the port, 15mins boad ride and another 15mins van ride to our hotel. Transferring luggage from one place to another was the worst and plus waiting time, in all it takes about 7h to reach Boracay which is soooooo long!!! But its all worth it when you reach the place and look at the beach. When we reached on the first day it was night so we didnt get to see much but the next morning, i woke up to this,
I took this from my bed!!!  So pretty right?!
We immediately went swimming after our breakfast. The water was really clear, love love love the sea there.
Spend our second day mostly walking around and eating after the swim. We happened to chance upon  my mother's friend hotel and it was really nearby our hotel so we ended up spending our evening there. They were super friendly and kept asking us to go to their hotel for breakfast and brought us for island hopping the next day.
Us and my mother's friend who was super super super nice!!!
It started raining though and i nearly died?! So freaking cold!!!
I still went for snorkeling anyways hahaha!
Walked around in the evening again cause the place is quite big and my father was finding all his seafood hahaha!

The fourth day was sailing and parasailing!!!
When i see people parasailing, i didn't thought much about it, but when i was up, it was a little scarier than i thought it will be. But i'm glad i tried it :)
And then we waited for a while till just before the sun was setting to sail! 
I don't think my love for sailing will ever die HAHAHA 
Even though we couldn't sail the boat, i really enjoyed myself  :)

The fifth day was helmet diving and ATV
Helmet diving was a little disappointing. We didn't get to walk around much and only stood there to look at the fishes. The helmet was really really heavy and it rested on my shoulder which really hurt quite a bit.
And then it was ATV time!!! My favourite out of all :)
Drove the ATV to Mt. Luho
Jumpshot at the top of the mountain but look at all the failed shots before i had a proper shot (there are more failed shots actually hahaha!)
FINALLY!!!
Initially when i first tried the ATV it was really scary? Cause we are driving on the road together with all the cars and motorcycles, and the people there drive quite fast?! But after awhile it wasn't that scary already and i enjoyed it alot :D
Went to some art museum after that
I think i look like a guy here HAHAHA
I peeped at a guy O:
We went to some club by the beach at night and we got to see pretty fireworks by the beach!!! It was the best part of this whole trip i really love it. And on our last night we saw fireworks from our mother friend's hotel too!

We went shopping on the sixth day at D'talipapa and ate seafood. We had to go to the market to choose our own seafood and then bring it to the store and it will cook it in anyway we want it to be.
Chili crab!
Butter&garlic prawns ( I LOVE THIS)
Half eaten sweet & sour fish cause i was too excited
Half eaten grilled squid
Hums which were as big as my palm

There are lots of seafood, pizza and western food in Boracay and this are some of the food i ate there
Fish&chips
Literally chips and the fish was really good even though it doesn't look as nice haha
Calamari
We ordered this in almost any place we went to eat. The calamari there is really yummy
Half of the time, the pictures are taken halfway after way cause i'm just too excited to start eating /:

Breakfast in my mother friend's hotel, Hannah hotel 
Unlike the breakfast provided by the hotel we stayed in, their menu changes everyday which was super good cause after awhile we'd get bored of eating the same food. There are more variety but i ate it before i could even take a photo hahaha!

On the seventh day, we went to walk further along the beach which was more rocky.
Actually we can jump off the cliff from here but we weren't in our swimming attire!
I was quite sad i didn't get to jump off the cliff :(

Had dinner at Hannah hotel on the last night and once again they all were super nice. Really missing the beach and the people at Hannah hotel :(

On the last day we woke up, had breakfast and my mother's friend  came to send us off :( Van ride to port, boat ride, bus ride and finally plane ride again. The flight was delayed because the kalibo airport was really slow.

The 8 days spent in Boracay was really enjoyable and i definitely want to come back again!!! :)

Reached sg and was greeted by es!!! I really really missed him alot :(
But guess what,
The top is arrival and the bottom one is departure.
I landed at 2022 and es was going to fly off to Seoul at 130!!!
I got to spend a pathetic 3h with him which made me miss him even more now :(
kdhl!
7 MORE DAYS!!!
