Although Shantee wasn’t able to join me and Marc on our Boracay trip last weekend with Pinoy travel bloggers (which was sponsored by Microtel Inns & Suites Boracay, in partnership with South East Asian Airlines and Zuzuni Boutique Hotel and Restaurant), we made sure to bring her a present so she wouldn’t feel so bad:

We bought the shell dog necklace Shantee is wearing on the photo above from one of the vendors in Puka Beach. It was actually a bracelet, but the vendor willingly adjusted its length so it fitted Shantee while Marc and I jumped waves in the Puka Beach surf.

The beach itself isn’t really ideal for swimming (but then again, January isn’t really the best time to go to Boracay unlike during the summer), but it was nontheless beautiful. Marc and I even imagined that if Shantee was there, she probably would have been easily swept away by the undercurrent on the seashore.
Shantee’s real proud of her Boracay shells dog necklace!

Aside from providing us with high-quality room accommodations, Microtel also gave us some tokens and freebies. I would have gladly took home one of their chiropractic beds—but you just can’t have everything Anyway, the Microtel giveaway included a pair of simple bead bracelets—which, of course, became additional dog necklaces for Shantee!

Here’s Shantee wearing the Microtel “dog necklace”

She doesn’t seem to feel bad about being left behind and not being invited anymore, does she? Hehe.
