Hello Dblchinis!

As you all know I'm a blogger who spent most of my time talking about beauty, yes a beauty blogger basically.

However, during the past few years I was given the opportunity to explore other genre other than my area of interest, say for example: travelling. And having said that I totally fell in love with visiting different countries ever since.
I've blogged about my trips to Japan, Bintan/Batam resorts and the most recent Krabi Trip, this time round I was most honoured to be invited to experience the beautiful seas of Boracay together with Tigerair maiden flight to Kalibo.

The main organiser for this trip omy.sg has made itself a household name for most of us, I've heard of so many different trips that they've organised for blogger participants like me, without them this "travel out to the seas" opportunity wouldn't happen just like that.
I'm thankful and grateful for all the great things that has brought on to me this 2013, 2nd half of 2012 is just crap (shall not elborate) even though my most glorious wedding took place that year. I'm looking forward to receive more great things and thank you to whoever is there to lend a hand!

Ok back on track, a little insight about Tigerair and yes, they have came up with a new branding named 'Tigerair', argh...I just couldn't get the 'ways' out of the whole lingo.
Tigerair SIN-KALIBO travelling schedule happens every  Mon, Thur and Sat (*subject to change in Sep). Flying 3 times a week is indeed a hugeload of conveniency for us!

* Flight Schedule Beginning September 1: Weds, Fri and Sun
Beginning October 7: Mons, Wed, Fri, Sun

Beginning September 1, will be Wednesdays, Fridays and Sundays.

Beginning October 7, we’ll add Mondays (Mons, Wed, Fri, Sun)

Just in time, I literally captured the ribbon cutting ceremony,

My #OOTD, my fashion tip when u head to an island is to dress as lazy as possible. 1 word, Look SLACK!

Nothing can stop a camwhore queen shooting a meaningless background with her face in it.

Welcome garland and again, the face.

Philippines TG representatives smiling from ear to ear.

Traditional Philippines Dance to welcome us.

These are precious memories to be kept, loving the colourful decorated shell pendant.

So proud to be representing Singapore, off to our resort Boracay Regency!

We are 1/2 way there, another 1 hour 30 mins of coach riding and an additional 15 mins by boat.

On our way to catch the ferry, we were provided prepaid sim cards from Hazel, the representative of Singapore Philippines Tourism, this is to ensure our readers/followers get realtime updates from all of us so that it syncs perfectly when I instagram about how wonderful this place is.

After a long an bumpy ride, we have officially met the nightfalls of Boracay, well almost there I have to say.

Upon Reaching Boracay Regency, we were greeted by the halls that are decently decorated and not too elaborate looking.

Notice the sign t says 'Welcome Travel Related and Photography Bloggers from Singapore'
Hmmm... I got an urge reprimand the hotel staff for not utilising the extra space below to add on 'Beauty Blogger'
#$%$#$%  Divalicous or what?! Ok no profanities.

What an abounding number of passports.

While the staff is preparing our room check-in because we'd requested for Sea-View, we were ushered to dinner. Yes After 8 or more hours of travelling (I need to factor in the extra 2hours for ribbon cutting), I'm glad we are finally here. However, rest assure your travelling time won't take this long.
Ok as I was saying, we were all famished as h*ll, d*mn this is hard for me by restricting the use of explicitly.
To be honest, I'm like super hungry but I know I'm travelling with a handful of photography bloggers I know sure cannot lose out, so I took like 1001 pictures before settling down to eat.

An art gallery of fishes, not ginormous but good enough to swallow my fingers.

Filipinos are known for their singing ability, hyping up the crowd.

Galore of shell-food

Wines displayed neatly on racks.

Like the other, I'm well on my way to a being a food blogger, at the meantime this is very much half bucketed.

Another Talent acquired besides having good voices: posing.

Doing my thing others cannot compete with, camwhoreing.

The Lovely People I came with! Actually no, we are all vying for the exclusive 2 tickets (back to boracay) at the end of this campaign.

And so, I had my fill.
Now let me give you a little room tour but before that , you can take a look at the various pricing of Boracay Resorts. Sorry if my price list is a little soggy looking, I've over-fliped it like 2 million times.

So Here's my 'DELUXE ' room, pretty spacious I must say. 
Tour of the walkway and bathrooms.

Ok this is pretty much... hey you just chanced upon a Camwhore Roulette!

Tv and my Dresser Table, I'm  pretty much on 1 channel for my entire stay. Who needs the TV when you have the beach?!

Basic Amenities and sanitised toilet bowl.

Yes the exciting part of the room, Door to the Balcony and is sea view!

Ok hold your breath because is morning and I'm about to show you the real 'Boracay'

Kua Kua kua, only a glimpse of the sea
but nevermind I'll get my chance out there!

Last but not least and ending pose to wrap up part 1 of my trip.

Ok let me try to caption this:
"Life is a never ending journey when taking pictures of yourself is mandatory."
Omg, this is terrible beyond proportions ok bye!

Stay tune for Part 2!
