Winter in a Tropical Country

This year, my vacation destinations have been mostly of beaches...Boracay, Bohol and this November in Coron.

Philippines being a tropical country is obviously rich in these beaches. And beautiful as they all are, I wanted to try something different, something 'cooler'. But how in the world can I experience the winter-like feeling without going too far.

I have been intrigued once...

Ang Ganda super!

I read in some random blog that winter-like temperature happens in Batanes. Right then and there I made a decision that one day, I will go to Batanes to savour the 'Winter' in my own tropical country.

I have searched more pictures of Batanes and it's definitely nothing I've ever seen before. The green landscapes looked so beautiful and peaceful. I'm sure it's a perfect getaway I will surely enjoy.

And finally, with another Blog contest from SEAIR I'm taking another chance to fly to this terrific destination for free.

So why should they choose me to win? I have five reasons.

One, I joined the Boracay blog contest and wasn't too lucky. I think this time I'm luckier and they will choose me. Hehe

Two, I haven't traveled with SEAIR on any of my trips. So I'd love to experience their service.

Three, of course I wanted to experience winter in my own country. There wouldn't be snow though, but hey, what is 7 degrees of cool weather!

Fourth, I'd love to travel with a few other bloggers as we altogether document our happy Batanes getaway!

Fifth, simply because I want to win! :)

Thank you SEAIR! http://flyseair.com/ for this!

One and Only Boracay

 

I know, I've just been to the beautiful, gorgeous and extraordinary island of Boracay during the first weekend of July 2010.

So why in the world am I writing this entry for SEAIR & Microtel Boracay Bloggers' Tour?

Well, I might have to start with a short history. In 2008, myself and three of my colleagues at work decided to finally take the plunge and visit the well known Boracay Island. There's three of us who haven't been there, so it's an enormous excitement and frenzy from the very start.

When I first saw the island, I was immediately captured by the fine white sand, that I would even mistake it as baby powder! Just kidding. But honestly, I so love how cool the fine sand glides through my feet. It's indescribable really. I've never seen or felt anything like it.

I'm sure you'd think how the sand makes such impact to me. But you see, it's really these simple things that makes me happy! If I can only take home a bottle of sand, I would.

And so, because I can't get enough of Boracay's fine white sand, I'm taking this chance...and wishing other bloggers the luck!

Do check out SEAIR's Facebook page!!!  And start writing. I'm sure you'd also want to join the Blogger's Tour!
