So, where's Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie In Boracay!?!

pssstzingggg!....bang, pink,plonk, toink, tzing, urgh, uhh,uhh, uhh! spitting blood, gasping one's breath. Hold another gun then fired for the last time. Still, amidst crossfires, there 's one man standing. Unruffled, dapper as always, beamingly handsome in his Omega Seamaster watch! tsadanggg!!! presenting the man behind 007 -Mr. James Bond! Waahhh!?! was sickened with his movies watching them for almost six hours from Tagbak to Caticlan by King Long of Ceres. Perhaps, king of long trips! We left Iloilo City last Sunday at 11am and arrived Boracay at 6pm. Missed the setting of the sun by spending all the time looking for the resort where we will be billeted. Toink! Then, had dinner buffet at Kaiseke, and my friend had her tattoo, drank coffee at Starbucks and fruit shake at Jonah's. After that, a quick watch of the fire dance at MO2, then back to the cottage. Of course, ended the day with a Mary Kay facial spa session for a beautiful night rest. Following day, had mass at Sto. Rosary Church. Visited my friend who owns Boracay Plaza. Then, took some photo shoots going back to Station 2 for an hour dip to the sea carpeted with green algaes. Yaikks! not so much fun. Boracay water was just like a swimming pool, fishes were also white. Not much to see under unless you will really go to their diving sites. But, there were more gimmicks like parasailing, banana boat ride, jetski,etc. After swimming, we went back to Boracay Plaza to see my friend again. Had a quick talk, proceeded to Pearl of the Pacific to look for Sanson and Dunne, then we hopped from one resort to another. Had fun talking to people on the street while waiting for my friend. Took shots of the streets and its details. After that, we went to "walang kamatayang" Andoks- for lunch, quenching our thirts with a liter of C2. At 3pm, we went back home to the city. Then, another....tzinggggg, ping,ponk, plink. This time the protagonist was "wa poise"...exhausted, haggard, has the looks of the "pasan ko ang daigdig". Typical of Will Smith, but of course, also still standing amidst smokes, bombing and crossfires. These movie flicks kill me..hahayyy
Well, anyway, they said the Hollywood Couple were in Shangrila. Hope, it was true. I do not know.

Less than $10 Getaway in Guimaras Island

One of the best islands in the Philippines is Guimaras Island. This is a real penny pincher day trip getaway that we backpackers love most. Your money here is doubly or triply guaranteed with all the sightseeing, places to visits, boating and swimming adventures. Alubihod, in particular, is what we liked most. It's our getaway to other small islets and other resorts. If you want private swimming, you can hire a boat and go to Ave Maria for hours of intense swimming and snorkeling. There, we learned to cross swim from one island to another island. Sometimes, it's real deep when it's high tide. But, of course it's more challenging. In this part of the island, you'll see rich fish corals and many colorfuls fishes. The area was not affected with oil spill in 2007, but somehow affected by villagers fishing. Nevertheless, it is still one of the best swimming ground we have in Guimaras, other than Guisi, Isla Miguel and Taklong Island.
In Alubihod, you can hire a boat good for six persons at $11 for 2 hours. This will bring you to the turtle sanctuary, then to Ave Maria and other adjacent islet cave and resorts such as Baras and Isla Naburot. Entrance fee is at $0.33. Jeepney fare from Jordan is $1.78 vice versa. While boat fare from Iloilo City to and fro is $0.67. The total fare is only $2.45. You just bring your own food to stretch every penny you have, but if none, Alubihod restaurant can serve you the food that you like. Along the way, you can also visit the Trappistine Abbey for a short stop. There you can also buy some Guimaras delicacies and fresh mangoes for take home items.
Scenic Guimaras Island is really worthwhile to explore and enjoy most by both local and international tourists.
