I miss Boracay

Philippines shuts tourist island of Boracay to tourist for 6 months!!

hmmm I'm not going to raise any comment about this issue even though I've so many things to say right now. *sigh* .. Not going to pointing fingers. Not going to be one of the bad netizens. Cause I'm nobody. 

Anyhoo this particular entry was supposedly been published looong time ago with a different title on it - "things to do in Boracay". Since it has been stayed quietly as a 'draft' for 2 years, finally I decided to upload with few of the videos and photos when we were in Boracay... 

Enjoy!
