Iloilo and Guimaras...AGAIN!

Despite of having a lot of friends from Iloilo, I still don't consider it a place I enjoy going to. But Last June 2010, after arriving from Japan, I learned that our barkada (Bora gang) was booked for an Iloilo trip for our friend's birthday so I had no choice but to go with them. It's their first time there while it's my Nth time already.

I was touched 'coz my girl friends from Iloilo (from a different barkada) organized a get-together for me. So we went to MO2 at Smallville for a Karaoke night. Then after that, I went to Flow for a party with a different set of friends.

with SMB friends

with Iloilo party friends

 
 more friends partying at Flow

The next day, we're off to Guimaras. Actually, my bestfriend and I didn't wanna go 'coz we didn't have a good experience there the first time we went there. But since, it's a part of the itinerary that the birthday celebrant prepared, we all went there. We rented our own boat and it's really expensive. We could have just taken the normal passenger boat and rented a multicab upon arriving in the island, but it didn't turn out that way. We spent most of the time on the boat, only to find out that we're visiting exactly the same place we went to during my first time there. We just had lunch at Reiman's Resort and that's it. Well everyone didn't like the trip but at least we all loved the mango shake haha!:))

 the time I had fairer skin haha

friends on the boat

Guimaras Island

After the Guimaras trip, we proceeded to the hotel to prepare for Angelia's 20th birthday party at Bourbon. It was a crazy birthday party. Or should I say, too crazy to handle?





That was quite a night! The next day, we had lots of oysters for lunch then off to the airport for our flight back to Manila. A fun trip made possible by cool friends.:)

Don't Trust the Special Holidays Much! =P


The time that Nov.27-28 were declared holidays, my friends and i immediately booked a ticket to Iloilo so we could visit our friends and head to Boracay after...not knowing that the declaration would be reverted. Argh. So we filed those days as a leave of absence instead.

We flew via Cebu Pacific. Unfortunately our flight got delayed. They got a nice airport in Iloilo. Unfortunately we weren't able to take photos 'coz were already starving.



That's SM Iloilo. Went here right after visiting Guimaras 'coz we realized we can't survive a day without seeing buildings. hahaha!=))

Oh and that's the very stressful Guimaras. Trust me, this photo can't tell how awful our experience there was. It's just so weird that people there didn't know how to treat their tourists well. No wonder, until now, its tourism wasn't as great as that of other islands.

Well if not only because of their World's Sweetest Mangoes and the oil spill years ago, they won't get that semi-popularity. We didn't even had a chance to taste the fruit itself, we just had a shake. haha! Oh, not to mention, we had a very tasty seafood lunch too.=)

Boracay experience needs a separate blog entry haha!=P
