Boracay Vacation 2011

When my hubby and I got married, we picked Boracay as our honeymoon place... Three days after our wedding, we then proceeded to manila port area to have an adventure ride by sea.  There are no promo fares from cebu pacific and airphil back then... The ship left at 5:00 pm and we arrived Caticlan at 7:00am the following morning.  It was an amazing experience.

After 10 long years,  we went back to Boracay  now with my only Son - Kaeiro.  I had made reservations for an October flight to Boracay via the Zero Fare of Cebu Pacific... Lucky for us we availed the promo.  We arrived at Boracay Airport October 6, 2011 and left October 8th.

We want Kaeiro to experience Boracay...  How Boracay became one of the most beautiful beaches in the world...  The land and sea adventures that this island offers... the night life... the scenery and the soothing water of the boracay sea... and most especially the white sand beach that stretches from Station 1 to 3....

        

Kaeiro had fun... we all had fun... we had an ATV/buggy adventure, went to aviary farm and ocean tower. We also went island hopping, snorkling and fish feeding near crocodile island... We saw the so-called resort of Manny Pacquio which is so beautiful and tempting... We experienced helmet diving which was unforgetable and    exciting... We also went bar hopping and enjoyed the fire dance performances.  Just like anybody, we surfed the d'talipapa and d'mall for souveniers and pasalubongs. When the it's time to go home, we felt a bit of sadness... We will come back, I said... maybe next year during the school break...

What to expect in Boracay in terms of fees...

To the Boracay:

Terminal fee Manila - Caticlan =  200.00/pax
Caticlan airport to Jetty port via tricycle =  50.00 one way
Environmental fee = 75.00/pax  (free-child 7 below)
Terminal fee = 50.00/pax
banca ride from jetty port to cagban port = 50.00/pax
Port to station 2 = 100/tricycle

Going home :

Station 2 to port = 100/tricycle
banca ride to caticlan port plus bus ride to kalibo airport = 200/pax
terminal fee caticlan port = 50/pax
terminal fee Kalibo Airport  to Manila = 40/pax

Our Activities:

ATV = 500/pax
Buggy = 1000/ride
Island hopping with insurance = 1300
Helmet Diving = 400/pax


A boracay vacation is somewhat costly but the happiness that we experienced during this short break from everything cannot be replaced by any numerical value...

How much did we spend during this vacation? Not too much...

But this is for sure... We had a blast!  We enjoyed every minute of it!  We will come back! Soon!

I did not forget you...

No, I did not forget you...

     I am just busy...

No, I did not forget you...

     I am just preoccupied with lots of things...

No, I did not forget you ... 

     I am just overwhelmed with  other things to do...

No, I cannot forget you... 

     because you relieve me from stress...

No, I cannot forget you... 

     because you make me relax even for awhile...

No, I cannot forget you... 

     because you make my day more interesting...

No, I will not forget you... 

           MY BLOG 

what I wrote 2 months ago...

I've got this craving to surf the net for small profitable business that I can venture on in a few years.  I don't know why? What I know is I want to have a business.  Yeah we have a computer shop and a school service business but I want to have a craft store and bookstore rolled into one.  So, whenever I saw an article that interest me I print it and file in a folder.  A few days back when I was cleaning up my drawer, I saw that folder...I opened it and saw that file of articles.  When I browsed each article, I noticed that it summed up to one thing... Crafting...

My Family Trips...

Every year we make it a point to go out of town during summer breaks.  This is to relax ourselves from work and for my Son to enjoy his summer vacation.  Our prime weekend getaway is the beach.  But if time permits, then we fly to other provinces.

Happy Mommy Moments!!!

Missing this...

I finished my reports, labelled and filed them.  I passed it for signature and off to the head of all heads.  Now, i'm trying to figure out what to do with my 4 hours of stay in the office before I go home and cuddle my 2 boys.  My Son has no class today due to typhoon juaning... My hubby works at the bank near our place... He can check on our son every so often... No worries!

Anatomy—branch of biology concerned with the study
of body structure of various organisms, including humans

As I was surfing the net.. I thought of a free anatomy book... So I did google it... Yeah, I saw one and downloaded it... The title of the books is "Anatomy of the Human Body" by Henry Gray.  I printed out the first topic of the chapter which is Embryology.  I read it, highlighted the most important words, and I even took down notes at the sides of every paragraph.  And then I stared at it and told myself... "Just like old times, huh!"  I knew myself like no body else... I knew I miss this.. I knew I miss Medicine... I miss studying Medicine... Maybe I am not fully convinced or I am just convincing myself that Medicine is not my calling... I left Med due to financial constraints... not that I flunked Med... no no no... It was a sacrificed decision so to speak... I am the eldest, there is a financial crisis in our family and I still have 4 little sisters that need to go to school.  You decipher it... No, I don't regret what I did.  It was for my family and nobody can question it.  I just missed it.  Can I come back?  Can I go to Med school again and finished what I've started?  Am I ready for it?  Can I?  Or just let it be?

Mom and Kaeiro's Funtime...

.
Two weekends ago, while my husband was attending a Gun Show at the Megatrade Hall at Megamall, me and my Son, Kaeiro, went down to Timezone and Toy Kingdom. Whenever we go to the mall, the only shop he likes to go to is Toy Kingdom. And when he likes to play, then Timezone it is...

Toy Kingdom in Megamall is Kaeiro's most fave shop.  Because here, there are lots of life-sized cartoon characters like Naruto, Ben10, Spiderman etc. on which he is fond of taking pictures with.   Also here you can find the Lego room for kids.  Kaeiro likes to build house, make robots and cars,  so this feature of Toy Kingdom is an A+ for him. 

Whenever we go to the mall, my Son likes to scout for new toys to buy for his birthday or Christmas.  Because we always tell him that the money that we have are hard earned and we cannot buy everything that he wishes. But for consolation, he can pick a toy not higher that 200 pesos or we will just play at timezone. Most of time, its timezone...

Happy MoMo Weekend!!!
