We had a fun Sunday!

My mom's department had a family day. We spent the day island hopping. Well, more aptly, we were beach hopping between two islands. It was so much fun. We rented a boat, yung bangka ha, yung may katig and not the sosy kind.

The first thing that crossed my mind when we got to our first destination was, "golly! wala akong camera!" Hang ganda talaga! I went crazy swimming, snorkelling, eating and riding the boat. Well, I think we all went crazy. I am so sun burnt! But I love my bathing shoot line... Teeheehee... Too bad I can't show it off at work! Baka pagalitan ako ng boss if I wore something that showed a little more skin than usual.

But back to reminiscing... We saw tons of colorful corals and sponges. There were starfishes na iba't ibang kind, and sea urchins and brittle stars and alangan, fish! I even got to see a couple of sea snakes! Wowsie talaga! A biologist's paradise!

One of the places we went to had three connecting caves... Kewlness but sumkina dark and malamok ha... but kewl nonetheless.

My younger brother, Lance, and I decided to scale the wall of the cliff. Ala lang. We were scaling with the Theme from Mission Impossible playing in our heads. And then *plak* ummm... wrong sound effect... *splash* tumalon si Lance sa may pool. Hmmm... how do I explain the pool? Basta, it's between two atolls. umm... An atoll is a coral island... ayun, so may pool dun! And then *kablog* tumalon din ako! Wowsie! Andun pala si Nemo nakatira eh. *I wish I had a water cam* It was really awesome in it's awosomeness... It’s like the Edsa of fishes. There was even a school of fish that was in a ball, literally. And when the tide comes in, the ball separates, and when it goes out, ball ulit! Ang saya saya!

The last place we went to is called Wishing Well. It was a rocky island that is medyo mataas. Some person developed it but it’s now abandoned. There were two old slides. And Lance, being the crazy guy he is, tried the slide. Ayan tuloy! Now you’re stuck down there! Swim to the other side na lang! Hehehe…. Kaya naman niya. But I saw an old rope and threw it down to him. Eh di mas enjoy… carrying the tune from MI again.

I really wish I brought along my camera. I shouldn’t have believed my tatay when he said that it would get wet. Ang laki ng bangka noh! Pede siyang dry duon. Words are not suffice to capture the beauty. Ha basta, serena ako!

I'll see if I can borrow pictures from my mom's officemate. But I doubt she took pictures of the scenery.

It was fun! We're gonna do it again this January for my folks' 25th Wedding Anniversary! They're gonna renew their vows in front of the cave. AMANDA!! Punta kayo dito!!!!!!

*muah*
