Boracay: Beach Paradise
Is there a place where your view is gently guided from the white sand towards the light green waters, and unto the clear blue sky? Is there a place where you can frolick on the soft white sand all day and night? Yes, such place exists.
It’s called Boracay, considered as one of the best beaches in the world - not only in my book, but also by the following:World’s Best Beaches (source: Yahoo! Travel)

Many say Boracay is overrated, but I have always considered it a paradise. It’s a balance between immersing in nature’s beauty and enjoying the comforts of modern life. In other words, you could drink all the booze you could drink . . . and just roll over the sand to sleep (no, I’m not drunk in this photo, but I was definitely way much lighter =).
You should consider Boracay, or other great Philippine destinations, when you think of having a vacation. Make sure to go there at least once in your lifetime. Enjoy.

[...] The “holiday economics” — which simply means moving the holidays nearest to the weekend, to have a longer vacation — was already in place when Congress passed a law “rationalizing” the celebration of national holidays.

This is illustrated in the list of national regular and special holidays for 2008 (although as noted in that article, there are still a number of holidays not falling on a Monday). [...]
