Machong Kikay Meets Boracay! “The Banana Boating Experience”







BORACAY? Well, this is one of the best destination to take in 2010! A place wherein you can embrace the whole serenity and silence of Mother Nature. Going to Boracay takes a lot of money but because I’m a H.R.S student, our school required us to go there for seminars and Hotel Familiarization. Last January 19, 2010 we went to Boracay. We were traveling for almost 11 hours before we departed to that spot. At first, I didn’t feel any excitement maybe for the reason that we are the 2nd batch of this trip or maybe I want a CASH rather than the jaunt to Bora:]] Actually, I joined just for the sake of my grades.

La Carmella Hotel (Court Yard, Station 2) was the place where we stayed and rest after a long long travel. After a day, we already accomplished all of our academic activities. We ate lunch together with foreigners! After we consumed our meal, (burp!) our school director declared that the remaining time was all ours.
"YES!" Everyone kept on saying this word especially me. Gosh we’re FREE! That day was also our last day so we need to budget our time and make every moment count. That’s why we preferred to try the Banana Boat. It’s a big banana shaped boat and costs 350-450php per head but because we’re a good negotiators, we got it for only 200php per head. That ride took 15 minutes. Our group consists of 8 persons. We went to station 3 to pay & start that extreme ride. For our safety, they gave us the life jackets then we immediately wore it. We’re all excited!:) We sat on the banana boat eventhough it was not yet on the water. Ignorant! hmmmm very funny. Instantly, we stood up and we just waited for the signal of the operator. When it was already settled, we ran again going to the boat quickly. Based on our actions, we’re all excited! Then... One, Two, Three, SAY CHEESE!^_^ Of course, we first took a picture before the boat sailed.^_^ The speed boat was starting to pull us. This is it! The water goes deeper & deeper, it made us more excited. We placed our feet in the water. Then we moved, we rocked, we jumped, and we also teased each other while singing the children's song, “sit down, sit down, we're rocking the boat".^_^ We’re really naughty that moment! One thing I’ll never forget is that when every time our photographer (a friend) was taking us a picture, we always looked at the camera. Making some crazy and wacky poses, emoting, acting, and laughing out loud! :) Our enjoyment faded a little bit when we realize that the time was near to end.

Going back to the starting point, the operator of the speed boat gave us a sign that we should take off our hands from the rope we’re holding. We asked him why. Then the operator made an alibi for us to convince. Hands free by following him. Suddenly the boat trembled then totally cap-sized. Thanks to our life jacket, we’re floating! After we emerged from that salt water, we’re shocked yet still laughing. As a result, I told to myself, “Yes! Now I enjoyed Boracay!”.

The banana boating was the most thrilling experience we have encountered from this trip ever! How about you? Have you already tried that? That ride made my trip to Bora so meaningful. YAHOO. . . Completely, Machong kikay (it’s me) met Boracay! :) You must try it too bloggers! ^_^
