Boracay - small steps towards outsides!

First checklist!










It's going to be all about Boracay, Boracay, Boracay...
* RM 1500 in pocket, or else you gonna forget your dream to go there.
pakej Trips4u Travel & Tours
- 3 star hotel plus the most comfortable airport transfer I ever had

*from Kalibo Airport 3 star bus ride for 1 hour and 45 mins and then comfortable boat transfer from Caticlan Jetty Port to Cagban Port on Boracay next Island cab straight to our hotel; it's round-trip, all-in includes terminal fee and environmental fee covered! )

= RM 538 for 3 pax, RM 488 for 4 pax )
BUT this rate only works in January, rate changed on February because it's gonna be super high peak.
And also on Amihan season!

* Is it safe? Safe weh, insyaAllah niat baik kita di tempat orang maka baik lah kita disana. Police dia di merata-rata tempat, especially when they having late-night party. No smoking on the beach or else you will get fined! No bring drinks at White Beach, their Beach police always patrolling 24 hours! Police biasa pun ada, kadang kadang kat celah-celah gelap kat D'Talipapa pun ada dia jaga. So, rasa secured so far.

* You need to walk, walk, walk. Refrain yourself from riding tuk-tuk, you might get to pay higher than you should be! Just walk and enjoy your 360 degree view. Tengok gelagat sekeliling anda, mana tahu jumpa jodoh kahkah!

-Walking along White Beach's path to D'mall.

3.30 pm
- Michael picked us up on tricycle for ATV ride to Mount Luho.
Instructions given; do not overtake, refrain yourself from speeding, obey your instructor.


one thing they don't tell you what to do if any emergency happened, I had ATV accident on the way down from the Mount Luho, brake isn't working. It was scary moment I ever had, I had to make decision fast! Or else I would crash into Ayu therefore I crash myself towards mountain's cliff. Just terbalik je dengan ATV, bangun bangun ara pandang je ATV yang ara naik tu. Marah nak mampuih awat lah hang brake putus tengah tengah turun bukit, cb. Nasib baik bukit landai tak macam bukit securam ara masa test jpj.

*injured then it's the company fault and they brought me to nearby clinic. I was worried more about that we missed parawsailing activity. hahahah! I got an x-ray on my left knee, alhamdulilah Dr said nothing serious just muscle injured, no dislocation, no bone fracture. Slowly, heavy bruises appeared on my right leg, left knee, scratches on left arm, huge impact on my right ribs. Right now, slowly recovering.


Be careful people, when trying extreme sport!

*on Mount Luho, it was priceless view I ever had! I can see the cave that Taylor Swift shooting for her music video's Style and mesmerized look at Bulabog Beach; not to my expectation that there is not so many kitesurfing due to not-so windy weather.
