Boracay Never Bores!


Jersey Iggy apologizes for posting her beach photos seven months late! But hey, beach fun is timeless fun! Here she is enjoying one of the many activities you can have while in Boracay, Philippines: island-hopping on a boat!

She was awestruck by this luxurious seaside resort in the paradise island of Boracay.

For the more adventurous, there's also snorkeling, parasailing, and deep sea-diving available around the island.

Back in the sandy shores, Miss Iggy saw a guy creating a sandcastle. They are made daily in front of certain business establishments with the date written on it. Tourists who wish to have a picture with these sand sculptures are expected to tip the sand artists.

Another thing Miss Iggy thoroughly enjoyed there was the Longsilog breakfast (Longganiza-Sinangag-Itlog), a combo meal of native sausage-fried rice-and fried egg goodness. This simple-looking dish was especially delish eaten right next to the sea with coconut breeze all around you. Miss Iggy savored every sausage slice with spoonfuls of rice!

Dreaming of a White Beach Christmas


The cold winter months make Jersey Iggy long for the white sand beaches of Boracay Island in the Philippines. Sand and sun on one's skin feels so much better than being in a Snuggie blanket!


But wait, she was really there! But that was way back in the month of May. Now it seems so far away.
Look, a cave with shell ornaments!


Even if it's December, keep a little summer in your pocket and stay warm during the holidays!

Boracay Redux ala Miss Iggy

supersampled. heh.

Seemed like Miss Iggy enjoyed her first Boracay trip with Gingmaganda last year that she had to be back for more. Alter ego Singapurple Iggy found herself riding the Paraw to catch the sunset, chilling at Jonah's Fruitshake for her daily dose of Vitamin C and posing gamely with Kermit Jr. for 'several' sunset shots.

a Paraw is an outrigger sailing boat, made from wood and bamboo. Riding it, you get to sit on it's 'wings' and catch the breeze while it glides on water.

jonah's fruitshake, we heard, is the best in the island. They serve their mango-kalamansi (lime) shakes-- their best sellers, on really tall glasses. yum!

the proverbial sand castles-- of course!
