YEHEY !!! we woke up around 8 and immediately, we checked outside if the weather changed and by golly it did! it wasn't sunny but it wasn't raining! excitedly, rose and i had breakfast (breakfast buffets were part of our package) and by 10 a.m. we were on the beach! rose was going to swim and i was going to relax and possibly sleep more on the shore. wow! yesterday i couldn't fully appreciate the beach since i was lugging around a heavy bag. on our second morning i just had my mobile and digicam with me and writing materials (pencil and sheet of paper). oh dear, the sand is all that i've heard about and more. it's so fine, it's like powder! baby powder! you could walk the length of the shore without any slippers and your feet won't get burned! the trees that line the shore are like a wall that separates you, the sand and the sea from the world... ah, life...all i could say at that moment was..."life doesn't get any better than this..." 
so rose and i simply walked on the beach looking for our own spot. and it turned out that our spot was beside the famed "sandcastlemakers" of boracay. rose was fascinated by the castles and was interviewing the manong on how to make one. apparently she got so inspired that after her dip in the water, she settled in the sand and made something. not a castle but a turtle :) so that's how we spent most of the morning, in the sand, taking pictures, looking at the beautiful people there, rose making her baby 
turtle, listening to music and me, writing. ah, life... since the sun wasn't out, we stayed there until mid-afternoon or when our stomachs finally couldn't stave off the hunger :) we went back to the room to change then it was off to d' mall for lunch...after scouting around, we chose lemon cafe, one of the newer restos in bora. perusing the menu, i noticed that almost all of the offerings had lemon in it...well, i should've known because it is lemon cafe. rose had the porkchops and watermelonginger slush while i had the seared tuna and mangolemon slush...for starters, we had shrimp bisque.
(l-r the bisque, shakes and my tuna beautifully presented. the tuna sits on a bed of lemon mash, surprisingly delicious mashed potatoes with lemon!)
after that sumputous lunch, rose and i went around d' mall then hurried to find a spot on the beach at around 5:30 for sunset. we found a resto that had lounge chairs and we ordered mango shakes so we could sit there without being bothered. between rose and i, she has an eye for poster shots.
those are just my shots. i'll provide the link to rose's pictures once i've uploaded them. so we lounged around until around 8. that was our last chance to see bora at night since we were leaving the following day.
rose and i "hiked" to station 3 then back and finally settled on having dinner at Patio. it was a very relaxing day...the kind of lifestyle you can only dream about. we didn't want to think that we were leaving soon...but we did have a couple more hours to be on the beach tomorrow...
