Remember how I was so determined to win last summer and exert my effort to do all the 20 Summer Photo Challenge. Last June they announce the winner and I won. I was really happy, I immediately told my parents about it. And they were also excited to celebrate their 30th wedding anniversary in Subic. Yes, although they said it's for barkada package I asked Ms. Cara Francesca del Rosario-Dizon the owner of Subic Grand Seas Resort instead of bringing my barkada with me I asked her if I will bring my parents and family to celebrate the wedding anniversary of my parents and she agreed and happy to be part my parents celebration.

Alta Vista de Boracay captured from the middle of the sea, we were excited while we were travelling via 2Go Travel Navigation. The photo from above gives the idea that Alta Vista de Boracay is located at one of the highest peak on the island. While we were still on 2Go ferry boat we were asking are we there yet? So to kill our boredom we just taking pictures then I accidentally saw the elevated water tank. So I zoom my camera and viola! I saw the Alta Vista de Boracay.

This is the view from our building, Illiniza. You can see the Alta Vista de Boracay infinity pool from here. There is also an on going works near the property I think they are building a mall.

Yes, it's true. I spend my weekend in this beautiful paradise called Boracay Island for free.

How did I do it? Well let me share you my stories behind it. And also what made it special is that it is my first time to visit here.

As we all know, Boracay Island is one of the tourist destinations here in the Philippines probably one of the places on your travel bucket list. But when we heard the about Boracay we also think about the budget and how much we need to save just to enjoy this paradise.

There are a lot of travel blogs who offers their experience the cheapest way possible in this island, but as for me as I said I spend my weekend here for free.

I know most of you turned their eyebrows and want to know how I score to be here for free.

Did I win in a contest? Do I live here? Or do I have relatives living here?

The answer is no.

Oh, you probably thought I just wandering around the internet, just surfing and Google and type the word Boracay Island so I can see what this island has to offer.

I'm part of Quality Management Department. I'm the one who wears eye glasses third row on the left sude.

This is where will be staying at Illiniza Building.

Tug of war Blue Team vs Green Team

I don't know what is this game called but they use their T shirt, run fast to the beach then squeeze the T shirt on the pail.

I don't know also the name of this game but the one person is blind folded then the other give the direction.

We were having fun after the team building.

Having our breakfast at Alta Vista de Boracay clubhouse

My breakfast, mixed vegetables and roasted chicken

We try the Banana Boat

After the Banana Boat After we had fun riding on a banana boat, we got hungry so we ate at D Talipapa. Then just enjoy the whole day wandering around Station 1 to 3 of Boracay Island.

Enjoying the beautiful sunset.

Having fun for a jump shot to this white sand beach.

I finally experience to step foot in the white sand beach of Boracay Island. Its very fine and powdery white sand.

We take a group picture.

Boracay Island is beautiful but there's a lot of these green algae/moss.

People's wandering at the white sand beach.

 After are picture taking, we ate again at D' Talipapa then go back to the hotel and enjoy the rest of the evening at Alta Vista de Boracay infinity pool.

Day 3

Because it was Sunday and our last day here in Boracay, I slept early last evening. I will leave earlier than my our coworkers because my flight is around 10 in the morning.

I came to Kalibo International Airport around 8 in the morning.

The view from my window saying goodbye to Boracay Island.

This is my first time to take a flight alone, the first time I have experience it I'm with my family having a vacation to Dakak Island. What I've learned from this journey: Travelling via Roro Ferry Boat for 9 hours is not scary as I thought. And riding on a banana boat is not scary too. Boracay Island has a fine and white sand unlike the beaches I've been to. There are a lot of water sports activities offers here, so if your into it save some money for it. There also a lot of green algae/moss on the white sand so better swim further to avoid it. A lot of bars and party people wanders at night. You can look for cheap restaurant but offer good and delicious food at D' Talipapa. It is one the best place to unwind or celebrate great occasion. What happens in Boracay doesn't stays in Boracay, because the memories stays in my heart. Boracay Island is hype destination, not really for me in my opinion because I'm not into water sports activities and party or bar goer but I do love just wandering around. And I also plan to bring my family and friends there to see the place.
