Boracay Day 3: Island Hopping, Chicken Feasts, and a Little "Budol"
 
Day 3 in Boracay was all about exploring the island and indulging in some delicious Filipino food. We started with a hearty breakfast buffet at Laud Restaurant, setting the stage for a day of adventure.
 
Our Itinerary:
 
- Mangrove Forest: We took a relaxing stroll through the mangrove forest, enjoying the lush greenery and calm waters.
- Bulabog Beach: Benigno got his hair braided by two local artists, creating a masterpiece of braids. Unfortunately, the iconic tree was crowded with people trying to get the perfect photo op.
- Sinagpa and Doniwid Beach: We snapped tons of pictures at these beautiful beaches, soaking up the sunshine.
- Key Hole and New Coast Beach: More picturesque scenery and photo opportunities!
- Puka Beach: This hidden gem lived up to the hype with soft sand, crystal-clear water, and a relaxing vibe. We even managed to squeeze in a 20-minute swim. However, be warned - there are "budol" vendors offering free mats but requiring you to buy their overpriced fruit shakes (250 pesos) due to generator usage.
- Lunch at Andoks Chicken: We took a trike to D'Mall (60 pesos) and enjoyed a feast of pork sinigang and a whole roasted chicken (750 pesos).
- White Beach Tambay: We spent the evening relaxing and watching the sunset on White Beach.
- Grocery Run: We picked up bread and noodles for dinner at the local store (100 pesos).
 
Budget Breakdown:
 
- Breakfast Buffet: (Price not mentioned)
- Land Tour: 2000 pesos (including tips)
- Trike to D'Mall: 60 pesos
- Andoks Chicken: 750 pesos
- Grocery: 100 pesos
 
Total: Approximately 2910 pesos (around $55 USD)

I ♥ Puting Buhangin Pagbilao - Quezon (2012) - 09/29/2012

Image
I always pray for good weather when planning an out-of-town trip, as a typhoon can easily disrupt carefully planned travels. Fortunately, when we visited Puting Buhangin in Pagbilao, Quezon, the weather remained clear. I had been longing to visit this place since last year, but unforeseen circumstances always led to cancellations. Growing up in Quezon province, I felt a deep connection to this destination and wanted to appreciate the beauty of my hometown.   Initially, I had planned a solo backpacking trip and shared my travel plans online out of excitement. That's when I received a message from Mac, who expressed curiosity about my travels. I proposed the idea of going together to Puting Buhangin to cut down on expenses. Without hesitation, Mac agreed to join me on this adventure.   On the day of the tour, heavy rain poured down, making me fear that the trip would once again be cancelled. I reached out to Mac via SMS to confirm if he still wanted to go. If he had changed his...

I ♥ PMA BAguio City 12/12/2010

Image
Philippine Military Academy (PMA) Baguio Philippine Military Academy (PMA) Baguio was the first tourist spot I visited in this humble city. I went there last 2008 with my college friends and I really enjoyed our short stay there. There is no restriction in visiting the area. However, due to its gaining popularity they implemented policies that may annoy some first time travelers.  All visitors entering PMA must have individual valid IDs. A person without a valid ID can't enter PMA. If you're in a group and you don't have ID, you will be instructed to get off the jeepney at the gate and wait for your companions with IDs while they're enjoying the tour. Also, wearing slippers is a big no-no when you wanted to enter its premises. Even though you are wearing your expensive flip-flops the security personnel won't show any mercy and you may be force to await your companion at the gate. They promote wearing shoes because people who wanted to visit the area shou...

I ♥ Pundaquit Zambales 03/27/2011

Image
Pundaquit Beach Zambales Pundaquit, or Pandakit is in San Antonio Zambales, a small fishing village on an attractive bay with a long white sand beach. It is a small barrio next to a glorious South China Sea and surrounded by paramount mountains. It is home to many fishermen as several boats lined their beach. The sun was glaring as I tried to take in the striking surroundings. The beach was very clean, unlike some of Subic's beaches I visited before.   I was really confused if Cove and Island is the same but according to my research A cove is a small type of bay or coastal inlet. Coves usually have narrow, restricted entrances, are often circular or oval, and are often situated within a larger bay. So definitely, we are not going to ride a boat just to get there.  It took us four hour of bumpy ride to finally reach Subic Olongapo and another hour to get to San Antonio Zambales with just 2 hours of slow traffic and the difference is our total travel time. We don't...
