i was still in my high school years when i was able to visit boracay. considered to be one of the best beach in the world. do you agree? white sand, clear sea, mouthwatering food. it was the best summer for me. actually my cousin just treated me to boracay because my uncle was sick so i was the replacement lucky one. lol. and i thought i was lucky but things became more exciting. guess what? from the shoreline we can see the newly arrived guests with so many cameras and reporters. what's happening. oh my God. the contestants of the Miss Universe( not quite sure about the date, 1991 i guess are coming. Miss Belgium, Miss USA, Miss Australia, of course Christina Gonzales the Miss Philippines, and all the contestants were there. well boracay is definitely one of the best beaches. but with the arrival of the Miss Universe Beauties, it became the best. i just wish i can afford to go back and visit this year. man i'm so broke. lol

Wow that is just an exciting time for you to be there. Well I also am wanting to go there but then budget constraints always stopps me from going there. I hope someday I would be able to see from my own eyes what you are describing in your post.

boracay will always be a memorable vacation place for me! there are many tour packages now that gives practically everyone an opportunity to visit at low cost -- that applies to both air and sea transportation. hopefully i can visit the place again this december when my fiance visits me :D do check out pearlofthepacific.com.ph, they have warm, friendly staff and the place is cozy with good beachfront!

boracay vacation 08 - this photo was taken last march 14, 2008. I like this structure really!.. it was so cool. it was located at the station 1. this structure was from the fridays restaurant.
I've been there. and I spent my summer and my holy week there with my boyfriend. (actually I also made a topic in this place. please also visit my site.) I fell in love in that place really! the fine white sand, the blue water, everything. we tried lots of activities there. reef walking, ATV, shopping, eating on some restaurants and swimming of course. we also took lots of pictures in that place. we also visited the mounts luhob, the butterfly farm, and I will never forget that we actually take a walk from the station 1 (because our hotel were located at station 1) up to station 3.(I think til "the sand")... damn! our feet were really aching right after we go back to our hotel!but it was such a wonderful experience. I will never forget that and hoping to go back in that place. and what I love is that, I went there with the love of my life, and leave a sweet memories there. actually some says that Pagudpod, and palawan are way better than boracay. I don't know, because I've never been there. but soon , I'll visit pagudpud, and will make a review about that place.

actually it did happen to us to. when we first arrived there, we walk all the way to the end of the shore. we didn't even realize how far we got until we headed back to our hotel. we rode a tricycle and man the trip took 5 mins. that's how far we got. lol

Oh my goodness, it reminded me, Miss Belgium was my all time crush when they were here. I even requested for a copy from kodak. ahahaha. But then, it's sad, I haven't been to boracay yet. I've always had a lot of feedback from bora and it really really sounds good. I wanted to go there but now since I'll be working I won't have time. There were instances when there are team buildings but I can't join them. No money during those times. Any advise on the budget neil? Is 7,000 pesos ok for 3 days? I'm not much into bars, just the beach the sunset. Oh and the sand. By the way, no offense, it was Charlene Gonzales. She was my classmate during my sophomore year at USTe. eheheh. And she is A LOT prettier in person that on TV. c'ya bro!

I haven't went to Boracay but definitely I will when I have the chance! One of our natural wonders here in the country. My brother was treated by his Aunt a few years back. But I'm going to go there too, I'm already imagining the clear beach, the white sand, the food, the people, the place. Wow, Nature at one of her best!

I heard a lot of good things about boracay, but honestly, I never been there before. Well, I'm planning to go there one of this days cause I want to experience the crazy parties my friends are always telling me. But when I decide to go there I will avoid the Holy Week when I go there, because when its Holy Week boracay is so over crowded, if that happens I may not enjoy the scenery and the beach. I want to go there on off peak season with my family and wife. So there, I hope before this year ends I can experience the craziness that boracay can offer.

actually the best time to go to boracay is not during summer but during the time when the rainy season is starting. i know it may sound weird but here's the reason. first of all the price of accomodation will really drop down. second, not so many people, you can definitely enjoy the beauty of nature. the only thing you need is luck. hoping that it won't rain on the time of your arrival.

I've been there year 1999, it was beautiful then but I've heard it has gone even better right now. I've been to most spots in the Philippines and around the world and I"d still rate Boracay one of the best - Truly A Paradise! I love the food there... hmm...so yummy... hope I can visit the Philippines soon!
