A Summer to Remember in Boracay (Part Two)

Life was cool in Boracay as I enjoyed the White Beach which has three sections: Station 1 dubbed as the most expensive station because of its luxurious hotels and establishments located in the northernmost part ; Station 2, the place where we stayed, is the center of White Beach and the best place to shop, eat, and party; and Station 3 is the southernmost section and the most peaceful place.

Night life was so hyper in Boracay. One of the attractions was the fire dancing,, and La Carmela de Boracay has this in their pool. Many tourists, local and foreign, were busy watching the fire dancers exhibiting their talents. And I was one of them who was mesmerized with their performance. Your night life in Bora would not be complete if you would not go on partying at the famous and elegant Epic Bar where tourists, and the artists were spending their precious moments with friends and family. I joined the party at Epic Bar with friends from Manila, Makati, Cebu, and even from Norway, India, Japan, and Russia.

Beautiful ladies, handsome men, pretty gays, gentle lesbians were gathered together to dance with the music. The loud music plus the noise from the tourists made the experience worth remembering. As I roamed around, I happily witnessed also the dancing chefs. They cooked at the same time danced.  The night life started at  6 p.m. and ended in the morning, and people just enjoyed partying without considering the expenses and of course the effects of the alcohol.

I did not have the grand time enjoying the water adventures in Boracay since my primary purpose was to present a paper in the international conference. Though the schedule was so hectic, I found time for island hopping with friends from India, Norway, and Manila. At least, I had a panoramic view of the beautiful and world-class Boracay. Bora is Bora indeed. While we were in the middle of the sea, there was this man in his 40s who asked for a tax. “Sir, bayad po.” My friend from Manila answered, “ Ha? May bayad ba pati rito? Dagat na to ah.” Another man was also busy selling ice cream in the middle of the sea. “Ice cream po. 50 pesos.” My friend reacted, “Bat ang mahal manong? 30 pesos lang yan sa Convenience Store ah”.  We all laughed.

And we reached also the island where the bats are resting. We wanted to visit the island but we needed to pay again so we just decided to stay in the sea and glanced  at the bats. We had a stop over at Puka Beach. We visited already the Puka Beach during the Day 2 of the conference prior to the island hopping. Puka is a virgin beach as what they say and it was so relaxing so stay here. Only few, most of them were foreigners, were there swimming and sun bathing.

 “Bora is full of haram.” This was the statement of my Malaysian friend. Sexy ladies and men were sprouting. You cannot afford to close your eyes because you will miss the chances, the chances of watching these bodies.  If you want to feel heaven, just stay in Bora and you will have a grand time enjoying what has life to offer.
