Boracay Island. My college friends invited me to accompany them to Boracay, a week after the Holy Week to relax and talk about our college as well as our present lives. Sort of recollection isn’t it? But don’t get me wrong, I am not complaining since it’s an all expenses paid trip. Hehe.
After hearing this escapade, I kept on thinking that this would also be a great opportunity to take photos of this paradise and upload them on my Flickr account. Hmm, I believed that it took us 7 hours of travel from Bacolod City to Boracay. It was a boring one since sitting on a bus for 6 hours was not funny after all.
We wasted no time in exploring the island as we were welcomed by the sunset and the ripples. It was a good place I thought – good place to take photos hehehe. Our stay wasn’t really smooth-sailing, there were certain instances where we almost had a fight with the locals there. The eat-all-you-can dinner set-up was always a treat for us – too bad it’s only for 3 hours. The crystal cove is an amazing natural treasure, the banana ride is a breather, the snorkeling area is a visual feast and sunset is truly a mesmerizing experience.
Well, I will grab this chance to say thank you to my friends for this treat (you know who you are). I hope this experience will serve as a prelude to the next step I am about to take regarding my profession. Hehe. Fingers-crossed.

ReplyDeleteLovely photographs of the island! They could be in the glossy pages of a travel magazine. Boracay pictures occupy large space in my scrapbooks. They are picture clips from magazines, and I have to mention that your collection are much better compared to most of those taken by professional photographers. You just have a natural eye for the best angle and light. Just looking at them makes me feel like I'm there. Maybe in my next visit to boracay, I should take pictures myself, too. The pictures you shared here are just so inspiring.
ReplyDeleteI wish you well ~ Jeques
thanks for the kind words Jeques. It was my first time last summer and i had to take advantage of the place.
ReplyDeletei am humbled by your words. thanks.
