It’s all go - go at Nigi Nigi

It ‘s been all action at Nigi Nigi Too over the last - month or so —- Why ?

Nigi Nigi Too hosted Star Cinema’s and Viva Film’s film crews for their most recent , just released film “When love begins “ .

Nigi Nigi Too was also the site of many of the shootings, particularly around its beachfront bar and the beach itself - with morning sports events and that magical Boracay sunset being featured throughout the film.

The film was publicly released last week – an amazing two weeks after the completion of location shooting – they say this is necessary with the film simultaneously opening throughout the Philippines before it is copied for cheap illegal DVD’s.

The film stars, blockbuster Aga Mulach and publicly adored sweet and innocent face of Anne Curtis plus a number of young new faces including some of PBBs stars all directed by much admired Film Director Joey Javier Reyes, multi-awarded, talented and an enduring Filipino Artist.
The initial film reviews have been extremely favorable with up-beat positive commentaries. But life in the film business is not easy —- with pre-dawn and long after midnight shootings.

A female staff of Nigi Nigi Too was all excited when asked to serve a refreshment to Aga which was captured on film for only a second but created a spirit of excitement and creativity that throbbed throughout the resort during the entire period.

Just as the film crew packed up their gear – the resort was overwhelmed by a tremendous volume of tropical floral displays in readiness for two romantic beach weddings followed by an invasion of healthy looking athletes who are participating in the Boracay leg of the Asian wide dragon boat competition so it’s all go – go at Nigi Nigi.

Nigi Nigi Too Beach Wedding

Nigi Nigi Too was the sight of a beautiful intimate wedding of Darren and Zhina Berry.  Set on the beachfront with aisle of tropical foliage and selection of tropical flowers, the wedding was perfectly timed to catch the setting sun.  With guests of only family members and close friends, the beautiful couple enjoyed the intimate wedding reception.  The bride , Zhina is beautiful with her light blue dress and her simple headdress complimented her long black tresses and accented her pretty facial features, while  groom Darren is dashingly cool and chic in his blue tinged barong tagalog.

Zhina rock the night with a few songs which we all enjoyed .  Not many are aware  that Zhina used to be  a member of a rock band and gave up her career for the man she loves .  Zhina showed that she has no regrets in leaving concert tours as she sung lovingly to her husband.

As soon as photos are available, I will be posting some of the photographs

Boracay Island “A Paradise Awaits You” by Jason Probyn

Boracay Island combines crystal clear waters, sugary beaches that squeak when walked on, and lush hilly landscapes into an idyllic tourist haven, that’s guaranteed to fascinate and lull visitors into tranquil harmony with its simplistic beauty. Visitors commonly refer to Boracay as a breath-taking, unbelievably magical Island. A paradise set in the unspoilt South China Seas.

boracay

The small island, only seven kilometers long and one kilometer wide at its narrowest point, is located just off the northern tip of its mother Visayan island of Panay. The northern and southern parts of the island rise into picturesque hills, with elevations of 100 meters above sea level, that face the sea with weather worn cliffs. The Island has numerous scattered villages ( ’sitio’s’ ) interconnected by a maze of intriguing jungle pathways.

boracay island

Boracay boasts one of the world’s finest beaches - White Beach, a broad 3.5 kilometer stretch of sun-drenched sand, bathed by a white capped strip of perpetually turquoise water. At Nu Nu Noos you are fortunate to be ideally located at the center of White Beach, conveniently situated to all the main activities. Boracay’s pure white beaches are a sun worshipper’s heaven on earth. Just lazing under the tropical sun is a favorite vacation pastime.

boracay hotels

White Beach runs almost the entire length of the western side of the island. During the summer season ( December till July ) White Beach is the leeward shore which results in calm, turquoise seas, ideal for frolics in its warm water to cool off from the summer’s tropical heat. During this period the opposite, eastern side, forms the windward shore, with almost continuous blustery breezes and choppy seas ideal for the experienced wind surfer. The eastern shore also contains numerous sheltered and picturesque bays, rewarding the ardent walker with many great scenic views.

boracay white beach

The main beaches are dotted with water sports outlets, offering the latest equipment for rental and expert instruction at reasonable prices, including scuba diving, sailboats, ( native outriggers ) and wind surfers. Boracay is becoming Asia’s most popular dive school location with good shallow coral dives and drop-offs to depths of twenty meters being within easy reach, while the more experienced and adventurous may try a cave dive at Black Rock ( ‘Buruanga’ ) or Maniguin Island a distance of 1-1/2 hours by native outrigger, which is popular among shark enthusiasts. To record the captivating underwater scenery, underwater photography and video equipment is available.

boracay beach

For more leisurely pursuits, many local fishermen and holiday resorts offer all-day around the island trips by motorized bangkas, with stop-offs at the northern caves, near Yapak, home of Boracay’s giant fruit bats, locally called “Flying Monsters” and the ‘Kar-tir’ Sea Shell Museum with Filipino craft displays in Ilig-Iligan.

white beach boracay

For active landlubbers the Island’s center extends a natural invitation to hike or mountain bike its many trails, criss- crossing its gently hilly slopes, while offering occasional glimpses of far-off sandy coves, fringed by palm trees. Your hike could extend to Puka Shell Beach, located on the Island’s northern tip, facing Carabao Island. Puka Beach is the home of Boracay’s famous and at one time plentiful Puka shells.

boracay golf

At sunset, a two hour or so walk along the length of White Beach attracts many early evening strollers, before the serenity of the ocean views are over-taken by the awakening of Boracay’s night life, offering numerous economically priced gourmet restaurants, discos, movie houses and cozy bars that add an international flair to the evening.

boracay kiteboarding

At sunset, don’t forget Nu Noos which offers over 50 expertly mixed tropical cocktails to titillate your early evening taste buds on a buy one get one free basis.

Boracay offers an ideal escape from civilization, but if one needs to remain in contact with the outside world, international phone, fax and e-mail services are available.

Boracay is on the brink of worldwide recognition, which within the next five years will probably convert its current tranquillity into the hub-bub of a major commercialized tourist venue.
