BORING DAYS AHEAD
haven't been doing much in the office ever since i came back from vacation. but even though i'm not really busy, i still wish that i would not have to get up early in the morning and physically take my body to the office. if only i could afford to be a bum.
started my job-hunting already. i've been surfing the internet. haven't really gone walking around makati and submitting my CV, though. have to put more order into pa...
hay...
sometimes, you have to take life's shit with a smile on your face AND AT SOME POINT, THROW IT BACK. as you can see, ma-angst akong tao. madaming issues. feeling madaming problema. e ano ngayon? im pushing 30 so i'm losing my right to say that all these issues are wrought from quarter-life crisis...

POST-VACATION HANG-OVER
didn't go to work last monday because I just flew in that day. tamad to go to office. jo went to manalac to get her stuff. chika-chika kami till late in the afternoon. just read harry potter. decided it's good to read the book again before watching the movie.
worked yday. couldn't get out of the office to fetch bucky from the airport because of frigging work. i forgot to bring the cheques for signing pa talaga so i had to go back to the office after dinner para mahabol ko kay lino who was teaching in APS. good thing traffic was not bad in makati ave and burgos.
missed bucky so much. was very excited to go home. had dinner in Hot pero cut short nga because had to rush back to the office. after the going-back-to-the-office-fast!-episode, we went back to the house for their inuman. calich and his girl were there. they kept on pestering him about their love story to no avail. joshur was also there. he ordered pizza for all, saying that it's ok to spend the money because it belonged to the taxpayers. he's working for congress now. (he's so fat, btw. and still with charmaine, for crying out loud. that girl must be blind). but in fairness, he look decent. i guess, he has to else, baka ipatapon sya ng security sa congress. slept ahead of everybody else. medyo tired coz woke up early to do some brisk walking. have to seriously loose weight. all my jeans are getting tight (halp!)!

CONTINUATION...
morning came as a respite. woke up at dawn and walked the shoreline of the whole island. we saw the sand at the other side of the island. according to residents, the sand moves around the island because of the current. It was smoother and powdier than the sand in the resort's shoreline. the sun was soft and the wind temp just right. after we made the full circle, we decided to see the lighthouse. to our frustration, the gate was locked and we couldn't climb over because of a guard-kambing protecting her baby kambings playing by the gate. hence, hindi kami nakaakyat. tired, sweaty, and hungry, we went back to the resort. good thing good, greasy breakfast was already set on tables along the shore. had a hearty meal. half an hour later, we went under water again. we partly saw the black forest then got swept by the current again. didn't see much but same corals and aquarium fish. it was nice though. forgot the name of dive spot. after the dive, ate again (as usual!) then got ready and packed up for panglao. we took the smaller navy boat. took about 30 minutes to get there. the shore was great (almost like boracay's) but the beach was not very good. ang daming weeds and sea-urchins. you wouldn't wanna go barefood wading in the water. we just rested for the whole afternoon, dipped in the water and waited for sun-set. then had a wonderful dinner of shell soup (yum!), grilled pusit, shrimps, chicken, atbp. super busog after the meal. we decided to walk along the shore. we found a great resort, Alona Palm Beach, at the end of the shoreline. kaya lang super expensive. it looked really classy and well, expensive. it looked its price. we also went to a resort with rooms for only P250 per night good for 2 pax. Ok naman but the shower is common. ok lang if backpacking talaga. slept early due to exhaustion. shared a room with bucky and his parents. 3 beds:one for parents, 1 for bucky and 1 for me. they didn't trust us to be in bed together. funny! as if we could do some hanky-panky together with them around! hahaha!
woke up early. bucky tried capturing the sunrise with his "angle" (he has this illusion that he can beat jake v. in his league...) had breakfast of dinner's tira-tira and bread. got ready for the dive in Pamilacan island. we had 2 dives there. we saw a school of barracudas on the 1st dive. my dive was cut short because of my bouyancy problem. toward the end of the dive, I couldn't help but slowly going above the rest of the group. i couldn't control my BCD so no choice but to go up. sayang ung air ko. as usual, bucky was the 1st one to run out of air so nag-picture taking na lang kami sa taas. the 2nd dive's highlight was when a huge fish bit chito in the knee. sobrang funny! chito and i were buddies for the 2nd dive. we were getting into this area of the big fish. suddenly, it just went up to us baring its teeth! yes, we saw the teeth. it bit chito sa left knee. as in baon sa flesh! i think it was about to attack me next. fortunately, the dive guide drove it away with its knife. we had no choice but to go against the current (which was very tiring). we were quite rattled after the incident (but in retrospect, it was really quite funny! imagine, of all things to happen!) the spot didn't have so much corals and fish because it was just a slope. unlike if wall, there are millions of things to look at. we were almost done with the dive when we saw a frog fish. rare daw un. it didn't look like a frog though. looked liked a black coral with white spots clinging desperately on a stone. there was a very big coral beneath our boat. we stayed there for a safety stop. meanwhile, we were chasing the fish around the coral. dan went up to get the underwater cam and went under again to take some pix. namee and i went with him. took pix of them underwater. bucky threw up after the dive. he didn't feel well because of his bad sinus. wawa nga e. he didn't enjoy it very much. the boat ride going back to pangloa was bumpy and took forever pa gyud. good thing lunch was great. we are starving. hardly said a word while eating. when were were almost done, we kept on joking about chito's fish-biting incident. all too soon, the vacation in Panglao had to end. hay, grudgingly packed my stuff and showered. promised to go back when there's time and money. got back in cebu port at around 6pm. went to the pier coz dan, namee and chito were all going back to cagayan. they planned to go to camiguin. buti pa si namee!
hay, the next day was the end of the great vacation. went to davao to visit mi familia and supervise my little bro's bday celeb. oh well, some good things have to end. pero i'll have other chances to go back there. excited na ako to plan for the next. the equipment was quite expensive. but all was worth it. i spent only P2.5K+ for 5 dives. lucky me. hehee.
