Water Colors






In my lovely 3rd world country_ it's right now night rainy season. When the clock strikes a lil' whille after midnoon, the sky begins to darken and makes sounds as if to warn us that she's going to pour any minute then. True enough, it never fails to rain in the afternoon til' early night_daily  this month.


Yet my minds travels back to recent summer nights. When the sky was starry and kind. Night swimming was awesome and sweet. Kaleidoscope pool was beaming, colors were saturating up into our own skin.


Ohh, I miss night swim in the pool with 7 colors. I miss nights without rain out pours.

Astoria, Boracay

We couldn't be happier about our accommodation at Boracay. We stayed at Astoria which was still on its soft opening. the newest resort in station one.







luv the pandan welcome drinks




The location_ in the mouth of station one and at the rear end of station two, was just so right for us who love the whiter sand beach of station 1 and excited about the water sports/bars happenings on station two.




my niece, her 1st time at Bora got mesmerized by the beautiful beach














Cuzin's choice was a poolside room so the kid could swim anytime to her heart's delight. That was not so honest, cos the truth was . .








. . we were the ones who stayed longer in the pool, almost fell asleep in the water, hahaha! !













wifi and cable tv




she didn't want to leave the comfort of our room




we almost missed the mini bar/ref which was zen hidden under a table top




Our room was minimalist and zen like. Everything in there suited our resort needs.








the closet was too roomy thu'  for our skimpy clothes, happy w the safety deposit box for our valuables













generous supplies of bath needs








The bath room was also zen with modern bath wares. Bath supplies were generously provided.




Outside our door, clothes dryer bars could be found. .how thoughtful !




Although the hotel resort was just on its soft opening, and some amenities were still to be set up, I could already say that this one is a top notch. The service was excellent and most all we love the smell of the room ! Hope they would be able to maintain everything clean and fresh the way we experienced it.








The resort manager, Mr. Danny was so sweet to give us a complimentary buffet dinner by the beach ( see at my food blog My 3rd & 7th Sense ) and a port transfer.

Love.love.love Astoria, Boracay ! We will surely want to stay again here on our next Bora visit. Highly recommended !
