My Summer 2011

I haven't been updating this blog lately. I admit, I have been procrastinating. But I do hope to update often as much as I can.

Summer is almost over, but I never let summer pass by without having fun. Week before the Holy Week, I went to Boracay to meet some friends. That was first time I went to Boracay alone, so I took a 5 hour bus ride going there. I stayed there for 3 days and had to go back home since I have work. In spite of the short time vacay, I had fun! Even though i have been here before, it's always a great place to visit during summer.

We stayed at Fridays Boracay, courtesy of Amor who happens to be Joy's friend. I didn't spend even a single cent during my stay there. The food and accommodation was totally free. Thanks to Joy and to the Cooper's.

So here's a few photos from Boracay. Enjoy!

So, week after my beach vacay, I went to Pampanga to visit the bf. For how long? Indefinite. Oh just kidding. I'm staying here with him a little bit longer. We just have some good trips to do. :)

More photos soon!

Guisi Beach, Lighthouse and Ruins

April 7-8, 2010 my classmates and I, together with our school adviser went to one of best beach resorts in Guimaras, Iloilo. We have agreed to go at Guisi Beach Resort and Lighthouse on weekdays to avoid the crowd during the weekend, plus the fact that it's summer here in the Philippines and school is out, so we had a feeling that excursionists, foreigners, and some balikbayans would go there too. It was a great experience to have spent my summer with my classmates - the MK 4-1, the last batch of marketing students in our school. We made it uber memorable since it would be the last event that we will be spending our time together, so we stayed there overnight.

Here are the people I will truly miss, the MK 4-1.


Ok, enough said. I will just show you some photos. :)

The long road ahead to the resort. It won't be turbulent when there are friends who get to walk with you. :)

The unspoilt beach

Me enjoying the water. I find this picture weird though, but it's rather candid. :)


Clear waters

Breath taking view

You have to climb for you to get to the ruins and old lighthouse

Climbing up

This is the original Guisi Point Lighthouse, it was built in 18th century. It's really really old and rusty just by looking at it. It might even collapse anytime from now.

It's rusty stairs


There's actually a sign not to climb to avoid danger. (words in Hiligaynon; Ilonggo)


But I tried to. Luckily, it didn't collapse. LOL


The white lighthouse - it's active and working. (sorry was not able to a good picture of it)


Ruins of a settlement during the Spanish Era

The sunset


Before going home, we did side-trip Trappist Monastery. Went inside the church and purchased some delis.
