I told her that our friend would come with us to boracay island and she would also share some money for her plane ticket but her food and lodging we would shoulder. She was excited a month ago about this trip but now she said she doesn't feel like going to that island or anywhere. She just wants to stay home. It's just okay with me if she doesn't want to go anymore. I can save the money and use the money for expenses at home.

I have been to boracay ages ago! haha i wish i could go there soon, but not during the busy months. we went there before around february and it sure was a great vacation days! :D i wonder though when i would be able to go there - i am going to have to ask my boyfriend then. wohoooo ;P im sure as hell excited now just thinking about it. ;) Oh, going back to your sister, perhaps she just wants to relax at home and not have to pay for any expenses at the moment, we sometimes come to that time where we aren't able to shell out some money due to some restrictions, right? good luck though with your sister, and hope you both get to enjoy time together soon, even if not in boracay.

It's my brother who would pay for every thing. She just don't feel like going there but um sure that once we go there she won't be sorry.

my parents live in the same province where Boracay is located,and i visited the island many times,i can survive there while spending less without putting into expense the enjoyment,that is the advantage if we are familiar with the place we know where to find the best bargain without sending too much, my response to your discussion may be out of line, and i would like to apologize for that, but for me i wanted to visit Nasugbu,Batangas, i was born there, and they say it also has many whitesand beaches, i love the beach, here in Cebu where i stay, we have many beaches too, but what makes a visit to Nasugbu,Batangas more meaningful for me is that it is where i was born,i wanted to visit my birth place someday. i was told we leave near the beach, my parents rented a house there when i was still a baby. my pa is a soldier who was once assigned in an airforce base in Lipa city before he was assigned here in mactan, cebu.

That's too bad. I don't know where boracay island is, but it's an island..So it must be cool! I love traveling but I can understand why she might want to stay behind. There's always next time I guess?

Hi hotsummer! How are you? About your sister, maybe something happen which cause her uninterested to go to anywhere.. or financial reason which made her lazy... There are things for sure she is considering.. Nothing personal on you or others that will come or go with you to boracay.. Have a safe trip and enjoy your vacation hotsummer! Just give her "pasalubong" (bring her something from boracay)..

It should make you curious to find more what had happened suddenly. But thinking other way, she would have some important issues other than a holiday. Well anyways, don't bother her much. But do ask her very kindly once again for the trip. A very happy holiday and new year to you and your dear sister.

you do the right thing. Dont pushed to do it if she dont want, because even she go and go with bad feeling because somebody already pushing her to go and that will be terrible trip i think. Use the money for usefull thing is great because i believe you have lots of needs that still need money.

It is a shame your sister doesn't want to go to Boracay Island anymore and I wonder why this is. Since she was excited about it I wonder what has changed in her mind. All of you sharing the accommodation costs would have been fine. It seems like you will be saving the money for life at home. Good luck Hot Summer.

So, your sister doesn't want to go because your friend is going? Or, she just has her reasons not to? I really miss Boracay, but my husband doesn't like to go back anymore. Our last trip to the island was in 2011, for our daughter's birthday. I would want to go back there early next year. If I can't convince him to go, perhaps, I'll just take the kids with me, and my mother or a friend.

I feel like this sometimes. At first feeling so excited and when the even is getting near, the excitement fades away. She might just need some encouragement from you, like remind her that the expenses are ok and how great to spend your vacation there doing some fun stuffs.

Based on your sister's initial reaction I'd say that she would want to go. Who wouldn't want to go to Boracay?! I've been going there yearly since 2010 and I can't say that I had enough. Every time I leave the place I feel that the time I spent was not enough (and to say that I usually stay there for 4 days/3 nights). did you ask your sister if she had money problems? Unless you get a plane ticket on sale, a Manila-Caticlan fare is quite steep.

From the discussion and the responses to it I came to know that Boracay is nice island. and can enjoy their with less expenditure. When your sister was earlier ready to accompany you and later changed her decision by which you may save your money. But this your approach does shows your affection towards your sister. Instead you must ask her reason why she has changed her decision. Convince her. Try to solve her difficulty if any she has.
