Maganda Boracay

BORACAY BORACAY...one of the most beautiful beach i have ever seen. My next stop is Maldives..haha..and my dear Asawa already promise that for our honeymoon..tsk tsk..haha....

My trip to Boracay was really a very meaningful one. Besides we made many frens there. Really wanna thanks san, eric, ailyne and family and last but not least members of Boracay Hills. thanks for making our stay so much more interesting.

During our stay at Boracay, me and asawa basically eat and eat and eat..we ate everything that was being recommended on travel advisor from station 3 to station 2 to station 1..we basically eat through the whole white beach..haha...

LOCAL DELICACIES IN MANILA

Some local philipines food..i mean its suppose to be really nice..but its a little too salty for us..haha..I think manila is very famous for their hot plate stuff!! I'm really not sure bout that..
Its grill fish with brinjal and tomato and salted egg and raw inions..we dun really know how to eat that as well, but it wasnt too bad..quite tasty..

Sweet soup which contain banana, yam and sweet potato.

Philipines pork intestine craker..they have pork skin, pork big intestine, small intestine...all sort..and its a little "porky" smell

JOLIBEE
We ate so many times of Jolibee in Philipines..I mean u can see Jolibee at every single corner in Manila..its like everywhere..haunting u to eat them or dey will haunt u down..Its actually just a simple local fast food outlet js like
Asawa enjoying his jolibee..


Next stop---BORACAY
It was actually really frustrating story here..Damm Cebu Pacific..I will sue u down if i have tons of money..damm..I js hate Cebu Pacific..

First time in my whole life that I had sat a flight which the air flight was being cancel last minute due to sunset when dey already delayed it for more than 4 hours..its like I wasted a whole day at the airport waiting for a damm airplane that din even plan to land at the first place..idiot!!!

We end up taking another flight the next morn at 5.45 am ..so tiring..idiot..dun ever sit Cebu Pacific..I warn u!!
Asian spirit is much better..but its really interesting that all airplane to Caticlan uses propeller plane instead of jet plane..haha..propeller plane are all kinda old school darling..somehow my Asawa js got so addicted with propeller plane..He's like receiving a pot of gold when he knows we'll be flying in propellers..
LEMON CAFE

Best place for lunch after a morning wild activity.. The sandwhich is fantastic..dey uses apple and celery to make their salad sauce..u feel like as if ur eating something fresh out of the garden!!haha...its kinda exaggerating but its also kinda true k!!

HORSE RIDING
We went horseriding up to Mount Luho to see the best view of Boracay..To tell u the truth, its only interesting for the first 15 minutes...after that its kinda bored..and at the end of the horse riding trip u will get a big ass and pain in the ass..
Thats the best comment i can give bout horse riding trip --good view at Mount Luho..
PARRAW SAILING
Its the MOST-FAMOUS-MUST-DO-ACTIVITY in Boracay..If u never been on a parraw sail, means u never been to Boracay..
Red Pirates is one of the most famous parraw sailors in Boracay..Go check out their blog..I dunno izzit a must or not..but I realise all their captain have really long hair..Wats with the captain and long hair..dun understand the physic of it..but its really interesting sail trip..U can have the water splashing all over ur legs as they sail by..really nice..and Captain Raymond is really friendly..haha..

MOTORBIKING
Another interesting activity we did was motorbiking thru all those muddy and rocky roads..getting all ur legs covered with mud..If u wanna have mud spa..try this..hiak hiak..At least u dun have to lie down doing ntg with mud over u..this u can enjoy extreme biking and mud spa at the same time..haha....


RANDOMS....
Handmade slipper which is any shape from fish to butterfly, from spongebob to spiderman and a red penis!!
Try to read this..nigi nigi e nuonos.nono...bla bla..wth!!


HENNA TATTOO
U have to do this in Boracay..its really cheap and its fun when ur too bored and you have ntg else better to do...
My tatoo artist busy drawing stuff on my leg and i'm busy posing to the camera..a very busy day!!


MOST FAMOUS STONE IN BORACAY
Dun ask me why izzit famous..its js famous..I really dunno y its so famous as well..its not even written on the travel advisor..its js some locals told me it was famous..and they aren't sure as well why its so famous...
Trying to eat some part of "the stone of Boracay"

DOS MESTIZOS
The place for the romantic spanish dinner..as in really fantastic Spanish food served there..but its not that cheap la..quite pricey but really worthy..especially when my asawa is paying for it!!haha...(my asawa will kill me for this..shit...dun care, i'm going to write it anyway)

It really have great grilled fish, beef meetball, salsa sauce...total indulgence..If ever u gone to boracay..u really must try out Dos Mestizos..or ur trip will be fruitless..as in "tak makan the buah there"..(what am I talking..totally mixed up my language)


BITE CLUB
Serving from a quarter pound to a total weight of 1 pound worth of beef meat in ur burger. totally worthy..those meat are real wei..when u bite the burger..u can feel the juiciness of the meat and u feel the rise of ur adrenaline. With all the sauce leaking out from the burger making a whole big mess at ur hand (in my case I did made also a little bit mess at my white shirt; so in future, dun wear a white shirt when u wanna eat any burger in BITE CLUB)

And their fries..totally fantastic when u squeeze the whole chunk of mayonnaise and mustard in. I know its damm hell fattening, but forget bout the fat for one time..so worthy..but trust me u feel so so so damm guilty after that.cos I've been complaining to my asawa bout how fattening it is after those fries..kinda pissed him off..haha..
HAWAIAN BBQ BABY BACK RIBS
These ribs are fantastic..My asawa was bising-bising -ing the whole time of wanting to eat another time of baby back ribs..they are actually bbq baboy (pork) ribs with sweet honey sauce. This is a definitely must try delicacies at boracay..and try to eat it at ur hotel not at the restaurant..cos its totally obscene..Besides you really have to eat it with all ur hands covered with those sweet sauce to feel the SHIOK-ness of those ribs darling!!
ARIA
Its named as the best place to enjoy Italian food plus the sunset along white beach with occasional performance by Boracay's most FAMOUS FIRE DANCER..
We din noe what to order...really..first, we're not italian..2nd, everything looks nice..3rd we're really js dunno wat to order!!

So we order a plate of Italian spaghetti and another dish which is the picture above. I forgot wats the name of it either..Anyway, its salmon fish in tomato salsa sauce served with bread.

Truthfully, both asawa and me thinks that there is ntg really so interesting about the food in aria as well. its kinda normal to both of us...I'm not sure whether its because we dunno how to savour italian delicacies or its really not so special after all..


Check out this video..its part of the fire dance that i recorded. The dancer is a she-male. But she really really good..no breast by the way but really good and nice lady feature. Minus the breast and the voice..I definitely envy her as a lady..My baboy Asawa keep on compare my dancing skill with hers..damm!!!

JONAH FRUIT SHAKE
Jonah serve the best fruitshake in the whole Boracay..errr..I think it even beats the quality and the price of all the fruitshake in Malaysia. First it only cost u 5 bucks for such a large cup of fresh fruitshake. Plus u probably feel as if u drank it out from the fruit itself..Its really live up to its name.

PHILIPINES "SATAY"
This is again another famous food in all over the Philipines..Its actually served like satay. The only difference is that its made out of pork rather of chicken and kambing..and its all sorts of parts in the damm BABOY..from intestine to meat to the ears to the skin...u name it!!

ISLAND HOPING AROUND BORACAY

*******Crystal Cove and Bat Cave

Kissing the statue nipple...I dunno y must they built those statue which high definition of human anatomy.
Walking down into the dark dark cave...its actually a cave which is halfway submerged into the sea..so u can actually swim in the cave itself..with the fishes around u of course..dun expect it to be a fish-less sea!!
Another stupid elephant statue with 2 stupid baboy so interested in taking photo with him...
This is what i call cave. u really have to crawl through the "cavey" tunnel in order to get to another part of the cave..its really interesting..and there is bat hanging around der..if u open ur mouth upwards, it might js drop rite into ur mouth!!!
A little photo with our "PRETTY" boat guide..(I think he loves asawa cos he rather hug him den me)

*******Seafood Buffet
Its just a buffet lunch that is serve at the beach..I think all the ppl at boracay loves to eat at the beach..Its js the most "heng" thing to do der..but its really nice la..so no complain!!

********Our boat
Thats the boat we sat for our island hoping trip..ntg special js trying to get someone to compliment my not so perfect body..so i dun feel so guilty for eating so much!!
COCOMANGAS
The famous shooter bar in Boracay..Guess wat its famous for!!

There this challenge in Cocomangas which they call it the shooter challenge where the challenger have to drink 15 shots of liqour (liqour as in tequila shots, gin, bacardi, vodka...u name it and they have it in one of those 15 shots..crazy ppl) in a limited time and still remain standing. If u succeed as in manage to finish 15 shots and still in 1 piece den u can put ur country name to fame!! If ur a damm good drinker den give it a shot and try to get Malaysia to a higher ranking..so far the damm korean are stil no 1..

Rumoured to serve the best pizzas and mango shake in the whole Boracay. The mango shake is nice..but Asawa say the pizza is so-so..But i think the pizza is nice as well la..

BEACH MASSAGE
Its basically a relaxing and damm cheap (what I mean by damm cheap is that it only cost u RM28 for whole relaxing 1 hour) 1 hour massage session on the beach by the friendly local aunties. those aunties were really friendly la..we end up chatting with them the whole time during the massage. But try not to be too conservative der la..cos I end up taking out my clothes in front of everybody at the beach front with only my bra on for the massage. Thanks god i wore a nice bra..not some granny bra..shit!!

TALIPAPA
De Talipapa is supposed to be the biggest marketplace in Boracay which stretches as long as 400 meters. However due to a big fire accident in Boracay, most of the souvenirs shops were gone..and the land tenant din wanna rent it to the locals anymore and kept the empty land for dunno what use..it seems kinda deserted already i think. Anyway the new de-talipapa is not as big as the old wan but i guess its still quite almost the same..
Great seafood at the market..really fresh from the sea..and the lobster are really big big big in size, so is the price!! so we decided to go for the smaller version of lobsters...but the bigger version of prawns!!haha....butter garlic grilled prawns..totally fantastic to be couple with fragrant garlic rice. when u eat those prawn and fish..dip it with their local philipines fav sauce - soya sauce with "cili padi" and lots and lots of lime juice..Those taste will linger in ur mouth even after u finish ur meal..

101 souvenir shop owe by eric. Visit there..Nice good looking boss with cute little doggie..Anyway eric and san were one of those friendly locals that we met there.
Little group photo taken in the middle of the "sand storm" and "heavy rain". And of cos its taken by someone who has good photo taking skill..

CREPES
Tomato and egg and cheese crepe..Its a little different from what we see the crepes in Malaysia..but its tasty though..not much comment on that..cos its js crepe..ntg to comment about the ambience cos ntg special either!! hiak hiak hiak...pity crepe shop!!

PUKA PUKA BEACH
These are the famous PUKA SHELLS that I've collected from the beach..Isn't it beautiful??Its like all over the whole beach. Its like every 2 steps u take there these puka shells under ur feet..and of cos the beach is really beautiful but its kinda deserted..not much tourist, js a few locals lingering around trying to sell u some of their puka bracelets...other then the beautiful beach and sunsets, really ntg much so worthy about puka beach..hehe..

LAST BUT NOT LEAST..BORACAY HILLS
One of the best resort I ever stayed..really..warm and friendly hotel crew who are so very willing to help you wherever u need their help..First time that I ever stayed in a hotel where the crews are so homely welcoming us with their service and friendliness.
If i ever had a chance to go Boracay again, I would definitely like to stay at Boracay Hills again. Its total relaxation there. Perfect place for honeymoon. Really wanna thanks my dear asawa for arranging all this just for me.
Little Maya looking into the camera..Isn't she cute..she's js so lovely...
Little Maya and Sunny..taking our last group photo before we leave..aii..kinda miss Boracay now!!


LEAVING BORACAY BACK TO MANILA...
Kinda sad to leave Boracay..But no choice, Asawa need to work and I need to go back home to accompany my family for the last few weeks before I leave for UK for 2 years. hmmm....Boracay really carve out many sweet memories for me..Thanks asawa, thanks for giving me a really memorable holiday before I leave for UK..

Long Since I Blog

Its been really long time since I blog..I seems to abandon my dear little diary for quite some time..hehe..really really sorry..

Little update of myself...

Been really busy with everything that got to do with me furthering studies in Scotland which includes visa, air tickets, discount cards, exchange rate ( that goes up the next day and down down down the very next moment..damm..cant Malaysia stay at a more stable currency condition?? Whats wrong with this ppl!! Do they even work?? ), redoxon (vitamin C), CASH CASH CASH, laptop (RAM, Processor and Nvidia is totally driving NUTS!!), accomodation (stupid RGU haven received my payment..hope my money don't js dissappear into thin air), School fees....and lots lots more..

The 2nd thing that I'm currently very busy and tiring yet very indulging and hard to quit is DANCE!!
**hehe...I dunno what kind of expression shall I put in here either. .. Been practicing dance every night from now preparing for a performance end of this month. Hope everything goes well for me and Jason. Hope we can blast HYATT with our performance. haha..

****Anyway, I been really practicing hard lo..till my back almost tore into half from bending here and der..I can be plastic woman anytime now!!

The 3rd most important thing is spending time with my family. Kinda sad that I would be leaving dem for 2 years. or even longer. .though I will be coming back once in a while (as in a very long time for me..all thanks to the stupid rocketing fuel hike which caused the stupid air tax to leap even higher which indirectly makes me very pissed!! Cause it cost me RM3700 js to get an air ticket from M'sia to Aberdeen..argghhh...)

4th is even more interesting..haha....I flying to Philippines for a nice little holiday...YAY!!! will be flying in 2 days time...chilling out in Manila for a few days before going for a "skinny dip" at Boracay!!

Okie..thats all for now..I'm on the phone talking to *****

Muackx Muackx...nite nite..
