Not here, not now!

I was the passenger every one hated: opening my barf bag to have at the ready. But not for upchucking into - for sneezing into. I wouldn't have wanted to sit next to me.

Last day in The Philippines

This morning we woke up early, packed and had our last Filipino breakfast before taking a walk to the Ferry back to Batangus. It was a lot smaller than the one we caught over and the sea was pretty rough making us instantly regret breakfast. I forgot to say...

A productive day...

As it is our last full day we decided to make it as productive as possible. It was really windy today so a perfect day for drying our clothes. We must've washed our whole, albeit small, wardrobe. Then Chris trained me on how to sew better, it's amazing how quickly our clothes etc. get...

But equal?

Dive! Dive! Dive!

I did my first negative buoyancy dive from a boat today. Scary in that I did not drop like a stone as I was suppose to. I drifted into the boat. The boats are well designed, fortunately, with the propeller at the back and the dive platform at the front. The dive master grabbed me and helped...

My First Pedicure!

There's a salon in town that caters to locals, not tourists. I enjoyed their $4, one hour massage the other day. Yesterday I went back for the $2 pedicure, my very first. My toe nails are now a strong tangerine orange. They took forever to dry I had a nice conversation with my...

Slow down!
