Hi Elmer @bedouindreamer! it’s been awhile since I updated with the site. We went back to Balicasag yesterday and it was more fun because the sun wasn’t around, the sky is cloudy too. I enjoyed snorkeling without […]

Thanks for your comment @Kyu. I would suggest you get your certification before you go to Balicasag. I am not too trusting about resorts doing certifications as they tend to skip some of the safety protocols in […]

Growing up in Sydney as a second generation immigrant I was exposed to and have used the local expressions like:
“Back of Bourke” – situated or come from a remote location, referring to Australian outback
“Ball […]

Good to hear from you Jill. Renting is a good option and it gets you familiar with different brands and models. Just make sure that you get the gear from credible sources and check the condition. I’ve had a near […]

I know what you mean about the scams. I was a victim last time i was in Bangkok. We wanted to visit the grand temple but were told that it was closed because of some Buddhist celebration. It was so believable […]

Hey Wynna I can help you with your first certification for scuba diving if you like. My instructor can teach you and you can pay installment. But you have to come to Manila for a week. 2 days pool session and […]

The irony is just so true isn’t it? You have to experience and relive being a slave to realize and value your freedom. Kids today need to learn this amidst everything that is just a click or a tap away.

Hi Sonia, thanks for the comment. It’s really quite challenging to move back from Sydney to Manila. Culture shock and all, but you need to have a lot of patience and appreciate the place for what it is and what it […]
