Boracay Post
Posted under: I just got back from the very much needed Boracay vacation. Let me tell you, it was just what the doctor ordered! Although I spent a shitload of money, I don’t care, I am back and raring to go. It was a great trip, not too much people, and the establishments were pretty much not crowded. I won’t detail the entire trip just because it was a you-just-had-to-be-there kind of thing but here are some highlights.
First thing first, this tat was LEGENDARY. Shameless self promotion taken to a whole ‘nother.level.

The trip started out well enough with everyone arriving on time and prepared. I like hassle-free trips. They reduce the amount of stress significantly which lets you enjoy the vacay soooo much more.
Our Plane Prior to Departure
Our plane after arrival at Caticlan airport
We arrived at Caticlan Airport a little past 4pm and since we flew SEAir there was a free transfer from Caticlan towards Boracay Island. We took a coaster van c/o SEAir as well, towards the Jetty where we embarked a large bangka towards Boracay.

On the boat, there was a caucasian couple beside me. During the trip, my friend Luigi and I were constantly talking about our plans for the weekend. Until finally, the lady asked me where I was from. I told her Manila. She meant, where I was originally from. I was confused. Apparently she thought I was a Fil-Canadian. She even said are you from Vancouver? I responded accordingly and cleared up the mess. I am not. She said I had the twang and really thought I was a balikbayan. (do I really?) But this was a trend for the weekend. Trust me.
We hit Boracay Island and immediately Luigi and I head for the beach. It was awesome.
Beautiful Boracay
Ok I know this wasn't taken on the day I arrived but this is such an awesome beach shot I just had to use it!
The night was epic and so was the rest of the weekend. Between the guys alone, we had so much fun, add some girls and we went crazy. We met the owner of Mint bar Brady and he was one the coolest cats I’ve met so far. At 23, he was quite something well travelled and excellent taste in music. He’s a Kiwi and New Zealand stories are freaking awesome. He also thought I was from Canada btw.
Brady's Bunch
Thanks Brady for all the shots and awesome company man! Seriously will be back and will head straight for Mint Bar.
A fight broke out next door though and it was pretty bad with bottles and shit flying and people jumping out of the 2nd floor. But the police came and took care of those hooligans.
Wait for part two of this post!!!
