While backpacking may be my traveling style of choice, I also get the urge to take a break once in a while so I can relax and clear my mind especially after a long backpacking trip. Despite the thousands of tourists flocking to Boracay every summer, there’s still a lot of space for relaxation. It’s only a matter of looking for the right spots.

Just as I thought I would be going back home to get a long rest and start blogging about my trip to Thailand and Cambodia, Aliwan Fiesta 2010, and Banaue, a sudden turn of events came my way and a day after my flight from Manila to Iloilo, I was back on the road again, this time to spend a week in Boracay Island. I was so pumped to visit Boracay again during the summer or peak season.

Circumnavigating the island of Boracay by bicycle was an item in my wish list of things to do in Boracay. Seems fairly doable since Boracay is just a small island and they already have a circumferential road (that I’ve only seen previously in maps). During my bike tour, I got to see the beautiful scenes on the “other side” Boracay … but … describing all the biking as a great exercise is an grave understatement (for me at least), I was not expecting that it would be such a heavy workout.

I spent an entire week in Boracay last October 2009. While my friends attended the Philippine Nurses Association Convention held in Boracay Eco Village, I was enjoying and going around Boracay Island. One of the highlights of my recent trip to Boracay was renting a bike for a day and a half and venturing outside of White Beach.

The first time I’ve been to Boracay was during the summer of 1993 when I was 6 years old and year after year, my family would never fail to go to the island. I’ve had many fond memories of Boracay and I was able to witness how the island started to fill up with tourists and hotels. There was a time in highschool when I got tired of going to Boracay and opted to spend my time with my classmates instead.

This January 2008, I visited Kalibo’s ati-atihan for the second time. I enjoyed myself a lot during my first visit last year and made it a point to visit it again this year. As always, ati-atihan was fun and still left relatively apathetic to commercialism. I wish I can write more about my experience but I have too little time right now so I’ll just post the pictures I took during my overnight stay in Kalibo.

In the Philippine Ilonggo dialect, ambot ah literally means "I don't know." After graduating in college, I decided to hold off pursuing my profession and embarked on a free spirited journey of adventure and self-discovery. My travels have led me to many places across the Philippine Islands and South East Asia. I don't know where this path will take me but I'm certain I'll get a lifetime of stories out of it.
