Which will I choose?

If i were you, since its not yet summer here in the Philippines and I think it's not that exciting yet to go to Boracay, I would choose all expense shopping. Might as well add to your shopping list the gifts that you're planning to give to your godsons, goddaughters, family and friends. You will not just enjoy but you will also save money :P. anyway, the decision is still yours to make.

Hi. For me, I will choose a beach vacation with my friend. On that occasion, you will have more time to catch up with her and more time and opportunity to talk. While on shopping, your attention may be caught by the things you will shop therefore dividing your time with each other. I also think that beach times are more memorable as you can take camera shots. If the weather is fine, that will also be more perfect that going to the malls as they are overcrowded these days because of the holiday seasons. And you can also go shopping with her even you will be the one paying already for the things you will buy. But if you are more up to or thinking about the things you can buy for yourself for free, then shopping is really the one you should pick. If you think of the opportunity to be with your childhood friend, beach will be the best.
