ICE SKATING @MOA

Last month was truly a jammed pack month for me with tooo many travels and activities but i love it.. 

Niyaya ko ang aking tita and cousins to watch the pyro show since i've been waiting for this   for more than a year  now..  but i was not able to balance my time kasi halos nagkanda patong patong ang trips ko.. same month din kasi ang Hot Air Ballon sa Clark , team building sa anawangin cove and boracay trip.. kaya ayun super busy...  

Since mejo maaga kaming nakarating sa MOA we decide to experienced ice skating.. Sa tanda kong ito ngayon lang ako nagkaroon ng lakas ng loob sumubok ng ice skating.. and nakakatakot na nakakatuwa sya.

Akala ko madali lang, pero di pala un totoo.. mahirap cya ha... kasi nung una ang yabang ko pa.. di ako kumuha ng instructor hehehe nghinayang ako sa additional 150php na good for one hr only....  Since ung mga pinsan ko ay may kanya kanya ng instructors.. i was just in one corner and tried to get used to the skates.. but i cant!!! super di ako makatayo sa kinalalagyan ko.. it was so hard na feeling ko anytime pwede akong masadlak, madulas, tumumba, eh ang laki ko pa naman na tao.,.. nakakahiya !!

Mas naloka pa ako kasi meron mga 5 yrs old na kinakaya or mani lang sa kanila ang ice skates... nakakaloka talaga...  after almost an hr, nanginginig na ang tuhod ko.. i wanna end this misery as in.. ang hirap ha.. di ako ngeenjoy nagbayad pa ako ng 350php (sna tama ung amount pero close to that prize it think).

Nang maabot ko na ang labasan... pumunta agad ako sa cashier and nag hire na ako ng instructor....

it was really funny kasi nung nagkaroon ako ng instructor mejo natuto naman ako ng very very light and naenjoy ko na ang pag ice skates.. will definitely gonna try ice skates again....ang saya ng feeling eh =)

first time makasuot nito

first time ko makatapak sa yelo =)

parang ang dali dali pra sa mga batang ito =)

snow snow snow!

oh di ba kahit panu nakatayo naman ako 

with my cousins na mas magaling pa sa akin

pao, me and hanna

SCUBA DIVING IN DAVAO

a dream come true!

Sa lahat ng lugar na pinupuntahan ko i always wanna try SCUBA DIVING.. but since i always travel on a budget laging hindi ko cya nagagawa... kasi naman rates begins from 2,500 php and up... and i know i just can not afford it... lalo na kung its only good for an hour or few minutes only.

That's why im so thankful to MAXIMA AQUA FUN in Samal Island  kasi they ONLY charge 650php for a 30 minute dive and just add 100 php and you will have a hard copy of ur underwater picture .  Super mura di ba... at first medjo hesitant pa akong tumuloy kasi kinabahan ako... imagine that was the day after Japan was hit by tsunami and here i am in the ocean having all of these activities.  Pero since all of my travel buddies are ready to take this activity there's no way to turn back.

mai was too afraid to do this activity but she SURVIVED!

r master JOEY!

Kuya Allan and kuya Tuting was r instructors for this dive.  Una ang pag suot ng mga diving gear.. nakakatuwa, para kaming mga bata, super costume ang tingin naman sa kulay itim na maala goma na ito.. di maiwasan na pagtawanan ang itsura ng bawat isa. Matapos ang picture taking, its time to face the waters....  at isuot sa amin ang 25kilos na oxygen tank.. in fairness super bigat nya ha.. pero as we all know magaan na sya pagdating sa tubig.. whats so funny was , nilagyan ako ni kuya allan ng pampabigat.. (ibig sabihin magaan pa ako heehhehe)  .. then the training / practice begins..

Since i just came from my boracay trip last month.. i can still remember some instructions in diving, ang super nahihirapan talaga ako ay ang paglunok para matangal ang pressure sa ears ko or pagblow ng nose at palabasin ang pressure sa tainga.. kasi kapag umiilalim ka ng dagat.. parang nabibingi ka ng sobra. as in and ang saket saket nya sa ears ha.. super

Tapos meron pang pagkakataon na pinapasukan ng water ang mask mo so kailangan mo syang tangalin para makahinga ka.... sa lahat lahat na to... isipin nyo na lang kung ilan beses ako umahon sa karagatan, kung hindi man ako nabibingi eh, di ako makahinga.. there was even a time na tinangal ko ung mouthpiece ko kasi hindi na ako makahinga... and its a NO NO NO pla.. sabi ni kuya allan buti daw at nakataas pa ako kasi ang lalim pa daw namin.. according to him asa 25 meters na kami.. he was actually testing me kung ilan ang kaya ko... i think un n lang talaga ang kaya ko.. kasi ung mas malalim dun di ko na naabot eh.hehehh gets ?  =)

APPROVE.. pero sa ilalim ng dagat UP yan

nakakabingi talaga

peace MAN

ang ganda ng mga clams

Views under the water was just sooooo  amazing...  nahawakan ko si NEMO, tapos nakahawak me ng mga plants , corals and ibat ibang uri ng lamang dagat na doon ko lang nakita ng ganun... super enjoy ako sa ilalim ng karagatan.. ang super nice ang SEA WALL nila sa Samal.. ang daming species na andun... for 650php its worth it!

Pinaka naloka ako ay ang malalaking clam na iba't ibang color... super ganda.. and when you touch them ay naku gagalaw cya.. so it means buhay na buhay ito..

Dahil sa experienced ko na to.. im really inspired to get a DIVERS LICENSE.. iba ang pakiramdam kapag asa ilalim ka ng dagat.. mas tahimik kaysa sa ibabaw ng lupa =)

Wala talga akong macomplain sa scuba diving activity namin.. masaya sya ng bonga! my first scuba diving experienced was truly a BLAST!!

another unforgettable trip / experienced for all of US!




HAPPY TRAVELS!!!
