Got inspired early this morning when the Department of Tourism Philippines released yet another fun and exciting video as it gears up for the Visit the Philippines campaign for 2015 (I still dream of working for them!), so I'm sharing again some of the photographs I've taken during my Boracay trip last July.
Trivia: Boracay is my first plane trip destination back in 2008 and I have come back every year since then :)
Going to Boracay is like going home. I usually just book a flight, get excited for months and never need a thing to prepare for it. The island always welcomes me with a three-station stretch of inviting beach, waves of turquoise waters and friendly people.
This year, I have enjoyed a few walks alone along the beach to people watch and simply inhale every bit of beauty that I'm presented with. The unstoppable crashing of waves is so noisy, but its the kind of noise that you inevitably zone out to.
We've had our share of rainshowers during our stay, which was expected since it was monsoon season, but I am also quite happy with how I got a bit of silhouettes and highlights in my photos. A good surprise, I must say :)
I have been to several provinces and islands here in the Philippines, but it still puts me in shame when there are thousands of them that I have not still set foot on. Just in case you're planning a trip for next year, you might want to consider this video below :) :)
That is exactly how I feel whenever I see photographs of places I'v never been to, and probably would never set foot on. It's depressing in a way.
ReplyDeleteI do feel that way too sometimes (esp when looking at parts of Europe), but I guess the least I can do is to dedicate more travel here in the Philippines haha!
DeleteApril, your country is so breathtakingly beautiful :)
ReplyDeleteI think we're already congested in the city, but our islands, I believe, are the true gems of our country <3 Thank you so much Sara!
