Boracay - I'm Yours

I'm back on what promises to be a very long series about Boracay. I was supposed to have a four-day trip but the allure of the place albeit the incoming storm made me extend my stay for another couple of days.

So to start this series, let me share a couple of videos I made on probably the best island cum beach in the Philippines.


The first video mostly contains footage and shots of the Island's Sail Boats as it present itself to the music of Enya's Oronico Flow. Shots were taken in the 3 km White Beach and the adjacent Diniwid Beach at its rightmost end. Hope you enjoy this video:





The second video was taken on a somewhat gloomy afternoon weather so a bit darker skies can be seen. Playing on the background is one of my current favorite song - the tropical. laid-back beat of Jason Mraz' I'm Yours.


More of this tropical paradise on my next posts.

80 took the journey:

Beautiful videos and I love the songs especially the second one. The beach is truly very clean and beautiful and the sea so blue.

Abaniko said...

O kumusta ang gimik mo doon? Nagpamasahe ka ba? Uminom ng beer? Kumain ng santambak na seafoods? Nagpa-tattoo? Namangka? Natulog ng buong araw? Basta, alam kong elated ka. Share naman!

eye in the sky said...

george said...

Original composición y los videos muy buenos.

Lawstude said...

@ kegler747 - the best beach talaga boracay carlo and i won't hesitate to go back.

Lawstude said...

@ the dong - i could almost see you enjoy yourself there dom. ingats lagi.

Lawstude said...

@ evlahos - thank you sir.

Lawstude said...

@ olan - nag-extend nga ako ng stay doon eh kasi napakaganda talaga ng beach doon. sarap maupo sa white sand at manood ng iba't ibang activities doon.

Lawstude said...

@ r-yo - lols panyero. may movie maker kasi bago ko laptop sa try ko gumawa. sana ok naging finished products although marami pa ko dapat matutunan about vlogging.

Lawstude said...

@ rio - salamat doc. sana mapanood mo rin kasi nakakarelax yung mga views doon.

Lawstude said...

@ carlotta - actually yung posts mo about boracay ang isa sa nag-enganya sakin to finally go there. thanks.

Lawstude said...

@ the islander - di kasya ang three days. ako naka six nights and seven days eh. yoko na nga umalis doon lols.

Lawstude said...

@ em - you are very much welcome. more boracay posts to come.

Lawstude said...

@ st. charles - napakaganda doon. kahit umuulan ayos pa rin.

Lawstude said...

@ fishing guy - this is probably one of the best beaches of my country. lots of foreigners there too so everyone will fee at home there.

Lawstude said...

@ abou - sayang talaga di tayo nag-abot doon, saya sana. salamat sa mga suggestions, napakaganda talaga doon lalo na yung puka beach.

Lawstude said...

@ kyels - thanks. more posts about boracay soon.

Lawstude said...

@ alicesg - the sand in that beach is aas white as you can get. so beautiful. i love the 2nd song too.

Lawstude said...

@ abaniko -

gimik - cocomanga and club paraw bro and the best

nagpamasahe ba ko? - yup. three times.

uminom ng beer - san mig lights syempre. di ko nabilang kung ilan.

kumain ng santambak na seafoods - nasira nga diet ko eh.

nagpatattoo - henna lang na tribal sa left arm.

namangka - thrice

natulog ng buong araw - nung fifth day lang kasi bumabagyo

elated? - gusto ko nga bumalik agad doon eh.

Lawstude said...

@ eye in the sky - i always play that song while walking on white beach so i thought of making a video out of it. thanks.

Lawstude said...

@ juleste - balik ka agad doon. ganda don talaga. thnx.

Lawstude said...

@ george - thank you senor.

Lawstude said...

@ beero - thanks bro. i just love the last song tapos yung first song kasi ay perfect sa beach setting. hope mapanood mo yun.

kegler747 said...

I agree, napakaganda ng Boracay pero I'm disappointed lang sa nangyayari over the years kse masyado ng commercialize and the island cannot anymore sustain the environmental effects of the hundreds of thousands of visitors each year. Super gandang ganda ako noong 1996 nung aking first visit to Bora pero this time parang nakakaawa na ang island. I just hope the government is not closing their eyes regarding the many environmental issues haunting the island.

Vanessa said...

Napakasarap naman jan. I need to go there. Hopefully this christmas break.

Leena said...

It`s to hard to imagine such of beach, what you have there!Thank you for sharing this. I wll dream it in the middle of snow and darkeness of a coming winter !
Thank you for your visit my place!

KRIS JASPER said...

nice... it's nice to see something in here that (finally) I have already visited.

anw, I was thinking if you cud feature odd places (i have em in my mind) but maybe not...

keep it up my friend.

dot said...

Looks like a tropical paradise to me!

Aethen said...

Lols. I'm yours by Mraz my fave also. Baka mapadpad ako Boracay this sem break. Yehey, am going to a tropical paradise. I will play JM's I'm yours as background para masfeel. Lols.

Sylvie said...

Great photos and what a lovely journeys!!! :-)

Lawstude said...

@ kegler747 - i feel the same way with Baguio. mas maganda sya dati without SM and other establishment. cant't say that with boracay kasi it's my first time there. nagpunta din ako carabao island at doon ang ganda rin ng beach without much commercial actions.

Lawstude said...

@ vanessa - that would be great, malamig siguro sa time na yon. and i heard na maganda new year doon kasi madami fireworks ang mga resorts.

Marie said...

Thank you very much for visiting my blog.... I will definitely watch your videos as soon as I can. I am sure they are wonderful. I am getting ready to go back to Connecticut......

Lawstude said...

@ leena - thank you too. the place is really like a dream and one of the best beach my country can offer.

Lawstude said...

@ kris jasper - what's on your mind? maybe i can do it if i can. gaano ba ka odd? lols. take care buddy.

Lawstude said...

@ dot - it is a tropical paradise. thanks.

Lawstude said...

@ aethan - that is great. you deserve a break because of the hard work and accomplishments you had this year. the song will definitely be a great backgorunder as you walk in the beach.

Lawstude said...

@ sylvie - thanks. hopefully i could visit poland. i can dream can't i? lols.

Lawstude said...
