Boracay — Raleene.com

The purpose of this trip's stated on my previous post...

the Shangri-La

with my roomies Melai, Megann & Cheyser

2nd favorite drink (take a guess)

They told us we were going to a press event but turns out we were just going to chill at the Tattoo Lounge.. Major outfit fail, I could've worn something that didn't scream "I like bodycon everything and I'm a city girl." Ew.

The other super friendly bloggers that I had the pleasure of meeting:
Chuckie Dreyfus, Kring Elenzano, Ivy, Sonnie Santos, Cheyser Pedregosa, Doy Buenviaje, Megann Jabola, Melai Entuna, ES Dimen & Coy Caballes

We were all treated to a SpaParty at the 2nd floor of Epic. I chose a back massage (cos I reallyyy needed one) while the other girls got their nails done + nail art.

This was the cool Tattoo Lounge just outside Epic. Super fast wifi here! We also got free drinks while enjoying the music.

That night we had dinner at Dos Mestizos with the Globe Tattoo guests...

my #1 fave drink (and of course it's not a shot of Bacardi)

The other bloggers weren't really into clubbing, so Cheyser and I dragged Melai & Megann into pre-drinking before hitting up the "clubs" (what exactly do you call them in Boracay?)

Our 2nd day involved tanning & swimming in the morning...

Cheyser's probably the most diligent blogger. She's been blogging and asking for the nearest wifi spot ever since she arrived on the island.

Right after swimming + tanning. I really prefer myself with a darker complexion. I don't know why so many Filipinas hate being brown. I guess it depends on what works well with your features.

Glad I bumped into Camille! She was forcing me to extend my stay but I couldn't :(

So glad I was given the chance to go on this trip. I finally got some time in the sun at another island.
I get some sense of clarity whenever I'm away from the city, when I know that work's far away and I can't physically attend to the more important things.

These kinds of trips make me thankful. I'm prone to wanting things and envying others whenever I'm surrounded by career-driven folks in the city. It's great to want to strive for more, but right now I'm more than thankful to be in control of my time and work load at the age of 22. I am always inspired, always surprised and always driven. I can't complain.

I was invited by Globe Tattoo along with other Filipino bloggers to the launching of the LiveTattoo.ph site at Boracay.

I knew my parents weren't going to allow me to travel with people they didn't know so I told them the week before the trip just so they couldn't say no, with the tickets and hotel reservations all paid for and ready. Thankfully they didn't get angry and they even gave me the numbers of important people on the island just so I could contact them in case I got into trouble (haha). I guess they figured I was getting really old & they had to start allowing me to go out of town without chaperones. Yes, I am too sheltered like that.

I saw a couple of friends, made new friends and finally experienced the night life in Boracay. My previous visits weren't centered around partying since it was mostly with the family and I didn't really get into that until college.

So glad I got to party and visit the island again this year, all thanks to Globe Tattoo.

Along with LiveTattoo.ph, Tattoo also launched its 3 new lifestyle sticks designed to give the Tattoo subscribers the full passion-filled experience!

Powered by the reliable 4G network of Tattoo, surf at speeds of up to 7.2Mbps with Tattoo Player, Tattoo Explorer and TattooStylista.

We were given a chance to pick one lifestyle stick and I chose the Player stick. It's designed for gaming, movie and music enthusiasts. Apparently it gives Tattoo subscribers access to five free music downloads, free credits to online games and 50% off on Ayala Cinema tickets plus one year unlimited free access to movies and gaming sites like gamespot.com, ign.com, sureseats.com and rottentomatoes.com. Super cool! I was first given the Stylista but I figured that I didn't really shop online too much unlike Melai and the other fashion bloggers. It's weird that I chose music, movies and gaming over online shopping, but I guess I prefer shopping in physical stores if I'm only looking locally.
