More than the white sand

Boracay Island is really a great place to gather, relax, unwind and have so much of fun.

The moment you land to the white beach, you can feel the fine, white sand kissing your feet while the waves slowly splashing to your ankles that would make you say, "This is one of the best the Philippines could offer and I should not miss this."

After the 4-day Global Media Forum at Boracay Regency Resort, we decided to tour around the Island.

After exploring the island, I realized that Boracay does not offer only clear and white sand but an experince whorth reminiscing in your entire life.

During the Global Media Forum, we met a lot of icons and some famous media personalities like; Sen. Edgardo Angara, Mr. Rey Langit, Mr. Rigoberto Tiglao, Mr. Ethan Sun, Mr. Chito Sta. Romana, Mr. Juan Dayang, Ms. Bella Cunanan, Mr. Tim De Vera,  the ambassadors of Iraq, Malaysia and Palau to the Philippines, Columnists and some writers outside the archipelago. New lanscapes in Journalism was discussed by the speakers and I can say that I learned a lot from those seasoned writers. (Two thumbs up for them!)

December 10, and the forum ended. I, together with my co-college paper writers and our adviser decided to enjoy the day. We played frisbee on the beach, under the scorching heat of the sun and do island hopping and snorkeling.

We rode a banca(of course, how could we island hop...LOLZ) with unexplainable happiness. As we continue with the boat ride, we saw wonders that we didn't even expect to see such as fantastic Resorts, caves, islands and islets. the waves were graceful that time and it seems like our boat is dancing with the waves.

Then, we stopped in the middle of the sea. The boatman said that we should wear the goggles and the breathing device to have a clear view of the aquatic life...and we're ready. Miss V jumped to the clear water first and we all followed. We saw some fishes, corals and other things under the surface of the water.We stayed in the water for about 15 minutes and we headed to the nearest beach.

We had our lunch at Puka Beach. Sumptuous sea-foods were served. Eventhough I'm quite allergic with shrimp, I ate some(Ssshhh..my mom don't know 'bout it.:-D)..and there, came the squid. it's a big one unlike the squids that we can see in the market(I was amazed really). After Lunch, we did some picture-takings on the beach. Then, we went back to our boat and continued with the tour.

As we go through, the waves became more hyperactive. Some water splashed on our things and we all suddenly screamed as if it's the end of the world(even it's not ;p). As we pass by the beaches of boracay, we saw different resorts that are really marvelous. We were all amazed that time(that was great really).

After that jaw-dropping sight, we saw a familiar place...

Suddenly, Harriette said, "Ayy, pabalik nata gali?"(Oh, are we heading back?)

"Yes Yet", said Miss V.

Then, we realized that our four-hour tour is over and we have to go down as soon as we get close to the beach where we rode the boat. Before the boat reached the shore, we did some photo sessions again(although we had so many shots during the first and the second part of the trip) until...

We reached the shore at 2:00 in the afternoon. We went back to the hotel where we are staying at and reviewed the snaps of our trip around the Island Paradise of Boracay. What a journey it has been!

It's not only the white, fine sands make Boracay a famous tourist destination but all other things you could explore beyond your expectations.
