Air Philippines' Piso Fare

I have booked the whole family to Boracay on March 2012 because we will attend a family friend's wedding. I only booked one way though because the date we plan to return home happens to be the day after the promo runs. It costs less than 400 per person.

Until the next promo fare, as I have to book our return flight.

Have you met my materialistic side? *Barney tone*

Yes, I know, it's five months away from December and yet here I am listing down the things I want for Christmas. Or right now.

Camera bag - The one I'm using right now is the default freebie bag that has a Batman stitching on the front. The problem is it's not going to keep it safe and dry. I need a light and durable camera bag that can protect it when I'm outdor.

1. Customized Leather Luggage Tag - I love the vintage feel of this.  it looks like it belongs to my grandparents then handed down to me. 
2. Combination Bag Lock - I want this because I got so paranoid about the drugs issues in airports. This is to make sure that no one opens my bag and put some drugs and whatnot inside. It also prevents someone from taking stuff out of my bag. I am particular about this brand because a card is used to unlock  instead of a key. 
3. Lonely Planet Southeast Asia on a Shoestring - Just because! Maybe, someday. Soon!

What's inside my backpack?

Promo fare means no check-in bags so I packed really light on a recent trip to Iloilo.

Here's what's inside my backpack for an overnight beach trip:

1. Clothes - Clothes take up the most room in my luggage so I rolled it neatly to save space.
2. Swimsuit - What's a beach trip without something to wear on the beach?
3. Travel towel - Compared to normal ones, this chamois towel is easier to dry, not bulky and will not get heavy when wet.
4. Mask & Snorkel - I brought my own set to save money from renting.
5. Dry Bag - If I know I'll be riding a boat, I make sure to bring my Rubber Ducky dry bag. I don't want my electronics to get busted in case the boat turtle turns.
6. Hat - I don't want my hair to get really dry since I'll be spending a lot of time under the sun.
7. Sarong - This one is definitely a travel must-have! I can use it as a cover-up when swimming or a blanket when it gets cold at night.
8. DLSR - This one is very obvious.
9. Waterproof Camera - Cameras are always a must have on vacations no matter where where my destination is but I don't want to risk the DSLR getting wet on the beach.
10. Tripod - For obvious reasons that I don't want to bother other people to take my pictures.
11. Food - In case we get hungry while on the road.
