Back to the cubicle
I know...I know...I have not been blogging much so here's a recap of my "Holy" Week:
First day at work after a break and I'm gasping for air.
Sure, I'd rather be in the cubilce than walk around aimlessly with my mom at the hospital. Although I saw this old lady that made me wish to grow old as fab as her:
Her hair piece! Her matching shoes and bag! Her floral prints! Gahd....I shudder in such an apparition!
So, as respite from the ghastly clinical walls of the hospital, my family and frieds hied off to Zambales. Good thing a family friend owned some cottages and lent it to us. At times, it was as if the beach was just ours and we enjoyed swimming and skin-diving.
Of course, the pictures: (We had more than 200 shots and here is just a fraction of them. Thanks to Ronnie's underwater casing for his digital camera, I had my frist underwater shots! LOVE THEM! Forgive the varying sizes of photos....i really hate photobucket)
I did not fart when this photo was taken. I was rushing to the surface after my skin-dive 15 feet down. I find peace and relaxation as the water crushes my ear drums from the pressure and my lungs are bursting for some oxygen.
Vogue-ing at the beach. After spending a small fortune on my snorkling gear, what do I do? An homage to the fashion divas....although you won't be seeing this shot in the next Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Edition.
Proud parents? We were screaming with glee as Onyx fearlessly paddled into the ocean. Too bad after a few minutes, she was exhausted. Well, she's just barely three months old!
The Addams Family at the beach? We are all smiles thankful that we escaped, even for just a few days, the suffocating realities of adulthood. (From left) Ronnie, Dang (clutching Onyx), Denden with Max the boxer, Marj and a beached whale.
Sea bitches! My sister Marj poses with Max who was confused to see the sea for the first time in his life. He was shaking and did not know what to do: dive into the waves or drink the sea. He drank and shat some nasty stuff later.
Here's Denden trying to answer one of life's mysteries: What is swimming with one fin flapping?
Off to the next sea adventure. How I managed to get in this tiny bangka in the middle of the sea is another of life's greatest mysteries.
Just a tiny part of the vast underwater metropolis. We were careful not to touch the corals, altough the boat man boasted that he will collect some corals. My sister said that it is against the law. With macho chest-thumping he proclaimed, "In htis parts, I am the law." I almost blinded myself from rolling my eyes.
Here's the boatman. He is like a luminous underwater phantasm. Actually, there were several points when we wanted to drown him. You saw the pic of Denden swimming with one fin? That's because the other fin was still on his boat when he left back to another island.
Inay, may butanding o! This is me grazing by the corals. It looks like a whale shark feeding off of mutant broccolis.
Protecting the goods. Here's Mia guarding Dang's precious sweet corn kernels from the ocean. Hey, we like to swim right.....sea ocean, have junk food with us. Although we fed the fish with skyflakes and we were swarmed. We were too busy distributing the cracker flakes to take photos, unfortunately.
Beat this, dyesebel! My sister Marj explores the corals with grace and ease but then saw the camera and does this:
Kaya mo ito, Darna?!?! Not even the sea can stop us from cam-whoring!
Lords of destruction. These starfish are cute and colorful, right? Well, these guys are on of the major reasons the corals are dying. I know, we should have picked them up but where will I put them? I cropped my hair and can't wear them as hair accessories!
