Boracay 201403 Part 2

Exchange rate is S$1 to 34 PHP

Friday 7 Mar 2014

We greet the morning with…. no plans! haha… What happened was the night before we tried to book Ariel’s Point with hotel then our hotel told us…. they cant confirm! Was quite surprised cuz the street agencies can like confirm on the spot but our resort cant. grrrrr…

Anyway, so we tried contacting MBG which was like 1600 PHP per pax but their response abit slow cuz its like all via email la. In e end, our resort told us they have slots available so we just go with them at 2400 PHP per pax.

After sorting out all these, we went for breakies then nua till 9.45am where we got reminded by the resort staff to pack up haha…

The resort minibus dropped us at this place named… “Ariel’s Point” hahah… It is near Beach Station 1. We walked out to see…

QL said “I can see someone is all rdy to jump in le”. hahha saying me me me! lol…. 1 very sane person (shld b YW la) went to ask what time we departing then the staff said approximately 1 hour later.

Thats it! Yippee~ *Splash into water*

As we splashed ard in waters, we can see dark clouds in e skies then we got a bit worried. But heng ah…. the dark clouds float away after a while.

This is the boat that will bring us to Ariel’s Point! Looks very sturdy and cool eh

The boat got 2 lvls. The 2nd lvl is open top de. Heng we managed to get a cabin at 1st lvl

Onboard the boat, there’s a free flow of drinks. Drinks meaning… alcohol, beer n all. haha… And they got a few variety of beer! But before boarding the boat, warning was given tat dun jump when you are drunk. So i also dun dare drink much.

In a relatively short time (ok i fell asleep), we reached! Scary time! There are 3 levels: 5m, 10m and 15m.

The more garang ones once reached, started jumping le! haha so we 4 just sit ard and errr wait for e queue to subside.

Some things…  u jz cant run. The 5m board clear very fast! So once no one, we go over le

BUT none of us dare to go first! So we resort to childhood game of oh-pey-som. Odd one out will go first! We went like 5 rounds with all 3 of us yielding e same results. Haha ppl crowding ard the area were very amused by us.

Wellll somehow e most 胆小wan had to go first   

Cuz I can’t swim so I wore a life jacket. When I stepped onto e board, e lifeguard below blow his whistle n indicate to take off life jacket so bo Bian lo remove…

I tell u…. It’s really scary to just walk out. And it doesnt help with this sign there lo

My legs turn jelly! I m like inching forward while grabbing e railing. I tot i stood there for an eternity but from the video … doesnt look that long la hor….

Eternity is from the pt when i jump off the board till the time I reached the waters. The thot of “Why am i still not in the water” ran through my mind 4-5 times before I really splashed into the water haha… And when u go into the water, water will gush in through ur nose so can taste all the sea water. haha… But will auto-surface. When I surfaced, I was spluttering out all the water and the life guard came over and asked “are u ok?”

I kicked a few times and realised I can stay afloat so I gave him the ok sign and just swam to the ladder. Ladder is quite near as I just kicked like 3-4 times and I reached le.

When I reached the ladder, I saw bloodstains there -.-|| not very reassuring. Heng I finished my jump le Wheee~

Then follow by walking up this staircase. Somehow this girl walk in a very nice manner after the jump. She just jumped from 15m. I jumped frm 5m then i have to hobble my way up le.

All of us did it! (Wet hair as evidence?)

After all of us attempted the 5m wan, these 2 garang girls actually wanna try the 10m and cuz…. scared… so they scissors paper stone. haha Can you tell who go first from this pic? lol

At this Ariel’s Point, drinks also free flow! Haha See the booth behind the 2 girls. Thats where our happy hour is. haha They have vodka, rum and beer. Mayb got others but we only ordered a permutation of these :p haha Their rum n coke is quite nice

Jump jump then it’s lunch time le. haha… Somehow…. I got no pics of lunch haha… too much excitement abt the jump. But there was meat, tuna, some vege, rice etc. Quite a decent lunch but i dun dare eat too much cuz I wanted to go snorkel hehe… After lunch, they also provided some desserts thats tapioca which is also yummy.

After lunch, QL fell asleep cuz she is such a 酒鬼! Drank too much then she needed to sleep off e alcohol :p

RY and I then grabbed snorkelling masks and proceeded down to where we alighted e boat.

But sadly not much fishes to see lei so in e end we just swim ard to enjoy e cool and clear waters!

Then RY needed to pee (somehow this trip keep having instances of needing to pee while we in e seas lol). So we swam back to e dock. Wah climbing up e dock is not easy haha… I slipped during first attempt and knocked into e dock. Was still thinking whether to go down swim after RY pee but I think … 算了

Besides snorkelling, you can kayak too! But I like being n the water too much

When we go back up, QL is awake le! Haha and it’s like 3pm le. During snorkelling, I was asking 1 of e staff what time we r leaving then he told me 4pm so it’s like …. 1 last jump le!

I go first! (But I still jump frm 5m only la) it’s …. Still as scary as first time! So I requested RY to b nxt to me when walking out to plank. Legs still tremble when walking out to e plank. E only difference is … E tot of “why m I not in water” only flashed thru my mind 2-3 times then I in water le hahaha

Do I look less scared this time?

Heh… then RY went next (her 3rd time le! cuz she very buay gam wan that she always “sit” into e water so it’s f**king painful. Most ppl hav their legs touch water first so impact less but hers is butt touch water first ). For her last jump, she …. Still sits into e water.

This time she too painful to shout liao. When she swam up, we saw her whole back thigh is very very red. Almost like bleeding. And e bruise that grew over e days is … Scary!

After our last jumps, I hang ard to take pics. Quite interesting to ppl watch.

The Korean who totally cant swim actually went to jump 15m. His cant swim is really quite serious. The lifeguard came over with a buoy and he was struggling to hold on to the buoy. Then when he got hold of the buoy, he didnt kick or what; just let the lifeguard to him over to the ladder.

Fellow Singaporean who jumped for the first time during e last few minutes but still look so Zen. She looks like she is contemplating about life.

Confirm strong swimmer since she dare to jump wth all the clothes. I regret that… I didnt ask her does it hurt. haha Mayb it hurts so much for us cuz we wore bikini?

1 of e rare few head in

Oh oh cuz the waters are so clear, there is a qn as to if the girls’ tubes were to run up, will the audience see anything? According to YW, cant see cuz when we jump the water bubbles are alot so will cover. We think…. he has been trying to see hahah

Very soon there is a bell to summon us back to boat le.

Such a nice chillax place haha… U wanna do what then do what lo. Got a few ppl who didnt jump but still go there to enjoy the sun, food and free booze.

Haha… Our ride back wasnt as…. quiet as our ride there. hahah We sat with this group of ang mohs who were like pretty high from all the booze. They were singing throughout the whole journey. The songs ranged from some 80s party song to Hotel California to Genie in a Bottle to Baby One More Time to …. Gangnam Style 😐 Think only Gangnam style is new song so I think…. can tell they are of certain age. :p

Oh got 2 Koreans in this cabin with us too and they were like singing and playing along. 1 of the 2 Koreans were like unstable on his feet and tried to go to the deck to puke hahah the staff tell him to puke into the walkway. Heng he didnt!

On the journey back, there were also…. free flow of drinks provided! tadah!

so it just add on to the high-ness of the party haha… I m very impressed by this table haha cuz it got many holes so u can put bottles or water inside and they wun fall over. Ok… unless u drunk and miss the hole haha

The staff onboard the boat was…. ever-ready to give you your drinks. haha I thought with the crowd getting out of control, they will slow down the pouring of alcohol. They didnt! Quite the opposite, they actually made sure the cups r nvr empty. lol…. and the alcohol contents actually gt higher. The ang moh lady in the pic actually ask for less alcohol in her drink and they asked her to just drink haha… They also didnt forget the quiet injured ones (ie us); they did come over and as if we need any drinks. But we just said no. Tho somehow, we ended up with 2 rum and coke still (courtesy of e ang mohs) haha… but shared among 4 of us so still ok.

When we reached the shore, our hotel sent someone to pick us up and he helped us carry some stuff. Took a ride back to hotel where we bathed and go out for dinner!

Dinner at this small cosy place called Smoke.

I think  the dish i liked most … is the garlic rice hahah it really very tasty

The minced meat is not bad too. but sadly lechon kawali too hard also. Think first night’s wan nicest liao.

Think i dun really like e stir fried veggies there. Think… too oily or wat. dun hav e crispness of veggie

Heh tiring day so we eat liao walk ard abit then go back le. On e way back, we saw tis yummy-looking mango dessert so thot order and try haha but…. its only yummy-looking hahaha :p

Actually when we reached our room…. we still play…. Gloom! haha

Saturday 8 Mar 2014

After all the action-packed days, we finally woke up to a nua-ing day! And the weather is fantastic! this is from our villa’s balcony

Today’s nuaing plan is to go to our resort’s private beach. Somehow I imagined a private beach just having sand, coconut trees and of course the waters and mayb some beach chairs. So I was pretty worried what if….. there’s no lunch places there? 😮

Hahaha but ok la there got lunch places. Its actually just another place like White Beach with 1 row of shops and all. But overall less crowd than White Beach. We came to this shop named Sundown Resort and we can make full use of the beach chairs there. Got a Monaco staff w us all the time we are there. So he helped us arranged the beach chairs and umbrella.

Haha… Reach there of course must… take pic. This is the pic taken by the Monaco staff hahh cuz he sees us selfie-ing away. hehe very frenly hor

Then see water liao so … of course must jump in! hahah But its really very cold hahah poor QL…. we threatened to pull her into the cold cold water.

I think it is at this beach that we see YW swims the most liao. I think …. he feels more relaxed here cuz no nd to watch after belongings haha….

Somehow soak in water, then tan, then soak in water again, time pass very fast de. Very soon its lunchtime! This time we all nvr take much pics of the food only this dish of fish which is very nice!  It would have been nicer without the sweet chili sauce tho cuz the fish very fresh.

Throughout this trip, we seem to hav problem hearing each other’s words. I think …. today shld be e ultimate. QL asked the waitress abt WIFI password then the waitress said something abt 1,2,3,4,5.  Then I heard as she asking abt rice and that they will provide 5 bowls of rice!

YW keep laughing at us. Say we old liao. Grrrr no hor! We r jz not in sync. Booooo

After lunch, we went….. Back to nua! This time w ice cream! Hahah got those peddlers ard so we just buy frm them.

Got this other Ang moh couple came w a kid too. Haha they r very cool parents. They can jz let e kid free play a while kind. Haha and e water so cold! And they still dunk e kid in haha…

Got 1 pt I see e mother taking pic of e father n son so I offered to help them take. But she looked abit reluctant. Now on looking back, maybe they were scared of me running away w their camera?

Ard 3+pm, we decided to go back lo and e family also went back w us. Heh…

This pic is taken on e way back and all of us in random positions lol…

QL emulating e poster girl hahah she gt ambition to be poster girl?

The minibus frm resort took some time to come. Haha during this time, we keep seeing rooster crossing e road hahha “Why did e chicken cross e road?”

Back at e resort, we went to the pool to cont nuaing, tanning, swimming n …. slping. I actually fell asleep at 1 of e beach chair using e beach towel as blanket. Haha quite comfy 🙂

Our pool is in e shape of a dolphin. Cute hor?

After pool then go out for dinner lo! (I really can live like this. Wake up, eat, go beach, come back eat)

We all were left w like 4000 pesos or mayb more and it’s our last night. So we decided to find an atas looking beach fronting seafood restaurant hehe and we came to…. Red Coconut Beach Restaurant!

Our seats r really on e fine fine sand and we r like first row frm their “performance” area haha they had dancers and jumping ard bamboo poles. The jumping ard bamboo poles is scary. Keep wondering if their legs will get kiap anot.

Food wise, we just ordered their set menu which have like everything la haha

First they served the soup n bread. I must b feeling very hungry cuz I actually think e bread is very nice hahah cuz it was soft n warm ahhhhhh

Next up is…. Everything! Hahaha there r like so many meats on e plate and they r quite nice! But I think we abit overdose on meats for this trip so we didn’t finish them le

After dinner, we strolled along White Beach in an attempt to let RY spent her pesos. We failed in this attempt (which is a rarity) but we discover a nice show at White Beach!

Introducing the dancing chef! Hehe….

Actually majority of e songs they danced to are in English. Only this segment in Korean. But to hav a segment on Korean already show e amt of Korean tourists there.

Watching the chefs dance is a joy cuz they look like they r enjoying themselves! Haha got a guy standing at e corner of e video, he is like a monkey like that. Sometimes he dance until tired le, he will just fool ard n kajiao e rest. Got a certain pt, got ppl order steak so he was like grilling e steak n dancing too! I wonder if this way of cooking will b better; dance 8 counts => flip e steak, dance 8 counts => serve e steak! Lol…

Their stamina (and memory) is quite gd sia. Cuz they stood there dance for like erm…. 30 min or so sia. Shagged~~

After e dance end, we hang ard to take pics of them and they invited us to go take pic w them! Awwwwww~

Oh oh ya the dancing chefs are from…: *drumroll* Seabreeze Cafe! Next time we shall go there eat! To see if they cook as well as they dance

We continued walking along White Beach and chanced upon quite a few fire-throwers haha this one is like going very close to e guest and she was like totally cool abt it. Haha I can feel e heat just walking pass them lo.

Somehow restaurants/pubs along White Beach seems to close pretty early. By 10.30pm, quite a few of e restaurants r closed le and it’s Saturday night! Sad 😦

We took e 11.15pm bus back to Monaco. Haha and no games tonight cuz nd to pack 😦

Sunday 9 Mar 2014

Its our last day le!!! And we decided not to risk having a lousy breakies so we took e 8.15pm shuttle to go D’Mall and eat at Lemoni Cafe! Quite high ratings on tripadvisor.

Their deco is nice and … Very clean lines hehe

food is quite gd! I had some mango toast cuz I can’t really think abt eating meats by then lol….

Each of us order a breakies and a drink each. Total bill came up to 1603 PHP.

Breakfast finish and we go collect t-shirts that YW and QL custom made e night before. These are handpainted!

Heheh mad cool right? So bright n cheery, just like them! Made me regret not doing hahah

We *must* visit the beach one last time and say bye to it hahah….

I even tried to take pics of e fishes at e beach but I think frm e pics can’t tell they r fishes hahah what u think?

hehe then we all realize that RY’s sunglasses reflect e beach nicely! So we all crowd ard her and take pic of her…. Sunglass! 😀

My first time using my cap is e last day at e beach hahha oops… Lol …. I think I look totally at home at e beach. I shldnt go home!

Hehe… On our way to taking e bus, YW decided to throw some hoops!

His score! Not bad for a 60sec throw. Hahah (I shall be nice and not post his first score)

Ahhh somehow I totally forgot to intro this mart where we get our water and necessities. Hahh I think this shld b e only supermart in White Beach ba. Hahah….

Ya… We dun wanna go home 😥 Our journey back is also via MBG but luckily this time no car sickness.

Our flight back is the first day Tiger Airway Spore take over frm Tiger Airway Philippines, according to 1 staff there. It was madness; they were using laptop w 3G dongle and network there was bad. In e end, RY and my boarding pass is handwritten wan -.-” Forgot to take pic of it.

Yeap, we r pretty pissed. But also going-home blues la

After the bad experience during check in, I dun dare to leave e airport so we ate in. And I had…. korean instant noodles!

Kept seeing at Budget Mart thruout e whole trip; made me gian

Bye Boracay! We will b back! (After we go Cebu and Palawan etc etc)

Boracay 201403 Part 1

Its been 4 years since I heard about the amazing Boracay beach from fellow tourmates when I went Greece.

Finally all thanks to Tiger for flying direct to Boracay and for a price of S$236.79 with carry on luggage! wheee~

Exchange rate is S$1 to 34 PHP

Wednesday 5 Mar 2014 Singapore -> Kalibo -> Boracay

Seldom do I get window seat with good view cuz usually at night la or too glaring.

This was taken shortly after we took off but dun look like spore so shld be msia?

This is just before the plane land in Kalibo. Oh and using my iphone haha

The airport at Kalibo is really tiny. Its like a very big function rm so you can see the whole area in a while. The first thing i noticed was that the signs have English, Chinese and …… Korean! haha First time I see signs with Korean but no Japanese haha…

When we exit airport, we were a teeny weeny hungry so we crossed the road to look for some food. Saw some street food of sticky rice so we just bought 1 each at 10 PHP. Originally was still tinking to share 1 w RY…. but she rejected me but gd that she reject cuz it tastes darn good!

The journey to Boracay is really not simple. After landed, we have to take a 1.5 hr ride to Catilan port to take a boat ride to Boracay then take a bus to our resort haha…. Complex right? But no fear! there is the all encompassing myBoracayGuide! Just nd to register with them and they will guide you from 1 transport to another. haha no brains required. Sidenote: MBG may be good n all but we got a driver who like to step on brake abruptly so I got abit motion sickness.

We were lucky to take the boat at sunset! hahha Its really a salty egg yolk!

This is the boat that will bring us from Catilan port to Boracay. Boat ride is just a short 10-15 min ride so quite fast.

After e long journey, we finally reached Monaco Suite

Its really suitable for big group cuz got a big living room! Can play games at night (thats what my mum said when she saw this pic and thats wat we did for 2/4 nights lol)

But tho it look posh n everything….the floor dun feel very clean and overall it lacks the warmth that we experienced at Sandalwood

Our room!

Big bathroom with rain shower!

After unpacking and wah-ing at our resort, we took a shuttle bus to D Mall.

I thought its a real mall lo haha but its just shops along the beach, like Patong like that.

We decided to eat at this 888 Seafood Restaurant where we had our best Lechon Kawali!

So good that we ordered 2 plates of it haha… its basically roasted fatty port haha. Shiokz!

Our remaining dishes! The one with egg is Philippines food named Pork Sisiq with lotsa 猪油

Whole meal is 2285.50 PHP which I tot was pretty decent cuz I was wondering if we will get ketok for food at this touristy place haha..

After dinner, we walked ard and bought some beautiful handcrafted-on-the-spot keychains. Tadah! We actually went back twice hahah…. 12 for 350 PHP. QL was saying the handicrafter is like our manicurist, Celine. hehe

The artist!

As we admire/choose/oooh-ahhh over the handicrafts, got a guy walked over to tell us about day tours. So he have this island hopping 1/2 day tour at 2,500 PHP for all of us. This was like much cheaper than hotel’s 5900 PHP and this guy looks like he know what he was talking about so we just signed up with him. I was expecting some form of receipt like in Phuket like that but this is all he gave us! haha

Ronaldo the man!

I abit stunned also but he also gave us his license to keep la so abit better. And his name on the license is really Ronaldo. Cuz I was saying will every other person on the whole street be named Ronaldo anot. My frenz all laughed at me say i very skeptical.

Now that we settled next day’s itinerary, we can go back n rest lo! We went to buy some groceries (potato chips is part of grocery) then back to resort and rest for the full day ahead!

Thursday 6 Mar 2014

Rise and shine to… selfie! hahah… Wind very big and skies very clear! woo hoo~

Hurry go eat breakies lo! The breakies area is divided into outdoor and indoor. We wanted the outdoor then the waitress said wind is very big so the salad may fly up so in e end, we just ate indoors and looked longingly at the beach haha

Sadly the breakies wasnt fantastic so we actually tot of going elsewhere for subsequent day’s breakies. But heng la… it got better over subsequent days.

This is what greet us when we reach White Beach (the happening part of Boracay and hence should be e most polluted liao)

See how happy RY is.

YW went to settle some insurance stuff with Ronaldo hence we 3 stayed at beach to take pics. Yeah! For insurance, each of us gotta top up 200 PHP each. Then supposedly Ronaldo also topped up 600 PHP for all 4 of us.

And… introducing my tour mates! Clockwise from the left: QL, YW (QL’s husband),  RY and… me! tadah!

This tiny boy is the one who steered our boat.

Originally he was just using the engine to move n all. Then got this part where the boat need to “park” to allow this guy to go get kerosene and this little boy have to use a very long pole to navigate the boat.

Can see? Just to balance the pole already tough le. And he gotta use it navigate the boat. A very different childhood that we have.

Ahhh can you see e clarity of the waters? OK. u cant.

Ry wanted to demonstrate but …. the water abit far away haha but i tink u get e general picture

Our first stop is…. Crystal Cove! Basically its an island with a few coves that have crystals in it. This island has very nice viewpoints too!

The blue and green waters behind us….

MY island! MY MY MY

Another 退隐江湖 place?

The first cove we visited had this as an entrance. When I looked at it, I was like “huh? can my butt fit thru anot??” it looks damn tiny la!

Descending the narrow stairs to this dark area … which looks even darker with my shades on haha… kinda scary…

These are the crystals! Nothing much to shout abt haha

This trip we got many grp pics cuz… the guides confiscate my camera!!!! hahah… My frenz were laughing at me cuz I have to request to take my camera back to take certain views…

Oh! And the guides are quite familiar with camera. See this shot below? We have light behind us so we would have turned out as all black shadows. But the guide quite gd; know how to on my LX5’s flashlight without me showing him. haha They must have handled alot of cameras before.

Oh ya if u noticed, we didnt have any bags with us in all the pics cuz…. Ronaldo was carrying them for us 

So from cove 1, we moved on to cove 2. The descent this time has a great view!

Model not part of the view tho she is pretty great-looking too. After we descend the wooden stairs, we have to …. “walked” through this very low ceiling tunnel. Basically its like squat and walk like that. very 辛苦la!

But the amazing guide they can like just zoom in and out of the tunnel and also helped us take photos hehe (yes, w MY camera. *grouchy*)

Anyway where does the tunnel leads to?

To another of cove with waves splashing in! hehe… I m more into the green green waters splashing in than the crystals

Somehow, everyone have very nice poses when they come to this place….

Only me got this one

The guide was like moving my legs that way, setting my hands to a certain height, then miming me to arch my back (obviously I didnt get this one since I didnt arch). My frenz were like dying of laughter standing there looking at me being shifted ard. What kind of lousy frenz I have lo! boo~~

Hehe… after all the climbing, we finally get to go into the waters! For snorkelling!

The first area we went had rather strong waves haha… and we only put on our snorkelling masks in the waters so I tink i drank a few gulps of the sea water. And i dunno why my snorkelling mask keep having water go in this time But ok la I still managed to see all e pretty fishes. haha Got Nemo, Dory, parrot fish and alot of coloured fishes; rather unlike Phuket/Krabi fish variety.

Ronaldo went down with us for this snorkelling area. I think cuz he scared the waves big also ba. He helped to use the bread to get the fishes come over and…. QL snatched the bread from him -.-“ haha he must be ?!?! Cuz the waves here very strong, so we can only snorkel near the boat, within the “legs” of the boat. There got a string that we can hold on to. Think QL knocked her head into the poles a few times cuz of the waves.

Short while later, we have to move in to this inner area for 2nd round of snorkelling. At the 2nd snorkelling area, we have to pay a 20 PHP as snorkelling fees.

There are more boats in this area and its closer to land. So waves not as big but fishes also not as nice la.

Cuz many boats, so there will be vendors going round selling drinks and coconuts. YW bought a coconut and said it tasted salty. Lol… mayb seawater sprayed onto it.

Off we jumped into the waters again! This time Ronaldo didnt follow us liao. Guess here is deemed safe zone. So…. he took my camera again!! I tell u. He is trigger happy! He took at least 50 pics of us snorkelling haha… I shall… select 2 to put here

After all the snorkelling, I felt very thirsty and I saw… the icecream man! haha This icecream man dun come with the bell but we still know of his presence haha…

And no, the ice cream dun taste salty haha… it is yummy! Now i know ice cream after snorkelling is shiokz de! haha…

We then start our way back to mainland lo. End of the half-day trip lo. Hehehe… On our way back, we saw quite a few ppl para-sailing. Then QL was saying the waters so clean here so she dun mind trying. Then I was abit scared cuz it looks a teeny scary hahah then in e end RY n QL convinced me tis is e reason we shld try in grps! Cuz we will gek/encourage each other to do it! bwhaha

So set la! We agreed on a price of 6000 PHP for all 4 of us and arranged to meet Ronaldo back at the beach at 3.30pm while we go lunch n let our lunch digest.

Our lunch is fast food, Army Navy. YW told us it is quite a common Philippines fast food. The taco is mine! haha… cuz I miss Taco Bell… And this taco is really quite nice

We also shun bian made use of Army Navy loo to tidy up (put on sun tan la, comb our hair la etc etc) haha… The loo needs a key to unlock and key will only be provided to guests of that place

Eat full full liao so we decided to explore another stretch of White Beach. Sun very hot and I walked until abit seh…. The rest said too hot liao so they dumped RY’s hat on my head to shade me. And I really felt better after that.

During our walks, we chanced upon this sand castle. Hehe so nice right! Later on in the evening, we also saw a similar one then when we tried to take pic, a local kid told us no picture. Must pay to take picture. Then we realise the kids there build such sandcastles and charge tourists to take pics with them. haha So enterprising. Got 1 night we saw 4 Taiwanese paid the kids 100 PHP to build 1 with 4 of their names. Then the kids still go find candles over to let them take pics. Totally service-oriented~

We strolled ard until 3pm like that then we found a beach chair and dumped our stuff (and YW) there then we jumped into the waters! Haha… the water is still freaking cold so it totally revive me!

Very the soon, its time for our parasailing! hehe…

First, we took this big boat to a floating platform where we then… switch to this speedboat.

There are 8 ppl in the boat so it made up 4 pairs. The parasailing here is quite good in the sense that 2 go up at once so you got someone to chit chat w up there haha…

The other grp went first and they were like totally cool abt it. Its like you just sit down and they clasp u to the parachute then let go and u just fly up.

However when it come to my grp…. somehow we all screamed (except for YW) during takeoff. Sibeh xia suay haha…

But after takeoff, its quite ok lei. Quite relaxing; until we hear the creaks in the hooks and bars then I will worry abit haha… View up there quite nice too…

We brought our cameras up thats why we got all these shots. RY even did a selfie! haha…

When we were up there, I was telling RY “wah later QL and YW will be the last couple. Lets get them to dip them into water hahah” Cuz the first 2 couples weren’t dipped into water mah, so I was tinking maybe not part of the para-sailing.

Shortly after I said that, our sail start to dip pretty low. Then I was telling RY “oh mayb time’s up le so they rolling us in”. RY smarter; she said “we only getting lower but not nearer to the boat lei.”

See the difference between the initial pic’s angle? haha… And yes, we were really dipped into water but to ard waist area so our cameras still dry. And the water is pretty cold! Dunno RY yelled due to the cold or shock of going into water haha…

Anyway, after dipping a while… they raise us back into the air haha… quite cool! haha our parachute close-up!

Some of the other designs of the parachutes hehe…

When we reached the shores, our “guide” actually came and fetch us too. But we told him we want to go Jonah’s Fruit Shake and asked him where it is. He actually lead us there haha… oops and its quite far.

When we reached there, QL went in first and came out saying “wah the food looks gd too. we can eat here!” Haha… So we happily sat down and order food. Naturally, we ordered Lechon Kawali too but its kinda tough at this place. haha. The soup is Pork Sinigang which is like tom yum soup but without the spice lol….

Dinner cost a total of 1555 PHP and we also ordered 4 juices which is like the main pt of Jonah’s and we totally didnt take pic of it haha…

This is how the exterior of Jonah’s look like

As we ate, we got very distracted by the beautiful sunset haha

hahah even took selfie! whee~~

Ok it look nicer without me in it haha

During 1 pt, I ate halfway and came out to take this pic haha.. Think my frenz also blur cuz sun set finish liao. Haha… I have been eyeing the boat ma. Once it reach somewhere central, I wanna come out n take haha

晚霞也是有她的美. ^.^
