Moderate Breakfast?
More like GIANT pancake!!!
i only manage 5 slices out of 8!!!

Dive twice today, 9am and 2pm
travelling solo is great cos u talk to other ppl
but its also kinda lonely sometimes
when you just want to talk to ur travel companion
OR not to be bothered by some drunk ppl =_=
This is the happening disco in Moalboal town every saturday night.

He`s suppose to be in bed,
but he was showing off dancing skills in the disco tech
i had to buy him a coke for his effort. :p
Dracula Dan from Romania,we met in the afternoon
in HOTLINE Internet Cafe.
He was super sweet,
cos some other drunkards were
acting like some annoying jerk, and Dracula said
`come join us if u want`

i left the disco abt 12am
it was amusing to watch the locals enjoying themselves
and lady boys who dont wear bras, super amusing!
met the lads again while on my way back to my room
so we chat until...3am in the morning!
They`re from Canada, Holland & Romania of cos.

Last day, i ate my last filipino lunch here
thats Ate Lina and Esther at the back.

and of cos the boy from the disco.

Cebu Day 3 - Seafood Spaghetti + Wine

This is the BIG FISH i saw the first time i dive

Uncle Uli from Switzerland.

Uncle Uli looking over Gamie (jamie)

the boat-boy who's starting the engine.

Dino's mom, Lindy Bustamante. :)

Im just gonna snorkel with them while they dive.

Clear Sea at 230pm!~

Giustino went shopping in the local market with Edmond.

for Seafood Spaghetti ingredient.

It all started cos i told him

" I CANNOT COOK!!!"

and Giustino made it a point to make sure

i know the real italian recipe...

he was complaining non-stop abt the ingredient.

cos to him its not FINE/GOOD/PRESTIGE enough

(+_+)

As you can see, we help him around a 'borrowed' kitchen

Edmond cleaned the fresh seafood from the market. I did help as well!!!!! (=_=)

Wiping sweat off the chef's face.

Its quite amazing, he cooks and attracts a crowd!
The end result i will post it later. cos i need to eat lunch now.

Mr Giustino from Italy volunteers to cook

Seafood Spaghetti here tonight.

and USD of course, dont worry for me, YET. This is the SpearFishingMan- Mr Giustino
Dino Bustamante, my diving instructor.

Tanned, Tattooed,Talented

He's 38 (same age as my boss)
he asked me to swim independently
cos i keep holding his hands and not let go
finally he write in his underwater notepad
"holding hands makes me want to fall in love"
Well, i still hold it anyway, cos im SINKING!!!

Cebu Day 2 - First Step into Underwater World

Jazz's mom, LINDA.

Jazz is the internet cafe-HOTLINE-guy

She asked if i was Japanese,

I said I'm Malaysian :)

She said cos Japanese likes to come here for Filipino food.

Cost me only 25 pesos!! Cheap like mad!!

GUESS WHAT?

This is SIZE- S!!!

(O_0)!!!!

I thought I will NEVER be able to wear anything

in SIZE - S anymore!!!!

DINO made my day!!!!

Dino taught me the set up & we're off-shore diving

It was amazing to breathe through the regulator!!!

Fins makes me clumsy,

but holding on to Buddy Dino

i'm pretty safe.

I felt like losing direction

but the underwater is nothing compare to the land above.

I see fascinating fishes doing magical things

NEMO is everywhere,

we even see its relative, Blue Damsel!!

Somekind of long sea horse and so much more

and im only 5metres deep.

There's a DROP-OFF, trust me,

for a beginner like me,

its really scary to look at that

DEEP BLUE BOTTOMLESS SPHERE
