In this edition, I'll discuss what different activities you can do, and where you can buy souvenirs . It's quite few since three (3) days is so short for a Boracay trip.
Jonah's Fruit Shakes! - MUST DRINK!
 |
| Yummy Fruit shakes L-R (Avocado milk, Mango Milk, Mango Banana, Mango Lemon, Avocado Mango and Mango Banana) |
These Fruit shakes have several combinations you can choose from. The price of each bottle ranges from Php 90.00 up to Php 115.00.
The shakes are fantastic! It's one of the best shakes I ever had!
You can really taste the fruit, not like other shakes where the ratio of fruit to ice is 30:70. I think the ratio in this shake is 75:25. Your penny is really worth it!
Of course, we weren't able to avail the happy hour promo, since we arrived there at around 11pm.
Yet, it was still a fun night!
I just don't recommend you guys eating there because the price is not worth it for the taste.
Tip: Once you're drunk, you may keep on ordering stuffs. So stay cool! :)
Just keep in mind, that each lonely planet shop has their own artists and their specific design.
Shirt prices are:
Some stores offer 8, 7 and 6 keychains for 100. So you should look for the one that offers the most.
Other stores have keychains that are 3 for Php 100. these keychains are not present in these photos, since i'm not that impressed with the quality of it.
Tips:
1. Do not forget to ask for a discount or a free gift, whenever you buy a lot from that store.
2. Try to speak in Filipino. Even if you are a foreigner, try it because they usually offer a large discounts to those who they think are locals.
3. Never be afraid to leave a shop in thinking that other stores might not have it.

Club Paraw - MUST GO!
Club Paraw is located in Station 1.
As we are looking for Jonah's Milkshakes, we passed through this club and the songs being played are GENIUS! Even on a 6pm time, there were already people dancing :))
Club Paraw has spacious place for your barkada to hangout. They have their happy hour until 10pm, where drinks are cheaper.
KAMIKAZE DRINK - Php 600 to Php 430
SanMig Light - Php 80 pesos per bottle to Php 300 for a bucket of 6
and the like.......Of course, we weren't able to avail the happy hour promo, since we arrived there at around 11pm.
Yet, it was still a fun night!

| Still partying at 2:00 am with great music |
I just don't recommend you guys eating there because the price is not worth it for the taste.

| Crispy Pata + Sisig ( Php 750.00) |

Souvenirs - MUST HAVE
Buying souvenirs was my top priority in my trip. I have read several blogs about different souvenirs that i can find around Boracay! Here are the souvenirs that I bought:1. Lonely Planet Shirt
 |
| Shirt Price: Php 820.00 for white ( XS-XL) |
The shirts here are handmade and it requires 2-3 hours working time (No pending shirts for them).
If you are planning to buy one, order it 2 days before your departure date. This is to make sure you can have it on time. We were just lucky to have it hours before we leave Boracay, since we only ordered the night before.
Black shirts are more expensive than white shirts, while female sized shirts are cheaper than male sized shirts.
There are 3 branches that I saw around Stations 1, 2 and 3. So if ever you miss the first store, you'll find the next branch.
Just keep in mind, that each lonely planet shop has their own artists and their specific design.

This is my shirt! Yes, i ordered the CHIBI one :) it is so cute : >

2. Island Souvenirs
Island souvenirs offers personalize shirt that is cheaper than Lonely Planet. If you love "I <3 BORACAY" shirts, then you will surely love this store!
They have shirts where you can put your name on it. "Mark <3 BORACAY" with a cool font style.
 |
| Each small shirt is only Php 119.00. |
Shirt prices are:
White: Php 300+
Black: Php 400+
Colored: Php 500+
There are 2 branches of Island Souvenirs around Boracay, one is in D'mall the other one is in Station 2.
Due to limited time, i wasn't able to order one, instead I just bought a small scale shirt from them as a souvenir :)
I've talked to the cashier if they do ship the personalize shirts, and the answer is Yes! I just have to add Php 160.00 for the shipping cost.
3. D'Mall
D' Mall offers several souvenirs from Keychains, to bags, to Boracay Shirts, Otap, etc. D'mall also have different boutiques like Caterpillar and FILA.
Other stores have keychains that are 3 for Php 100. these keychains are not present in these photos, since i'm not that impressed with the quality of it.
Tips: 1. Do not forget to ask for a discount or a free gift, whenever you buy a lot from that store.
2. Try to speak in Filipino. Even if you are a foreigner, try it because they usually offer a large discounts to those who they think are locals.
