I SWEAR. Once I get a job and save up well, I’ll immediately book a flight and take a trip back to my hometown!!!! Ugh. Seeing pictures like this kills me. I miss our beaches, my hiking trips, my friends… everything. :(
Personally, I think we should all just participate in a voting event if we’d be in favor or not of the prospect of divorce; even the RH Bill.
I believe it’s about time that the Church permits the people to choose for themselves…

Documentary about a London Bus Driver who goes to Manila in the Philippines to experience what it is like to live and work as a Jeepney driver in Manila
WATCH THIS YOU GUYS! It’s a must-see.
I salute Josh for his bravery—haha! You should see how he’s constantly shocked by the things he saw when he first got here! I also salute and thank Josh for his compassion.
I actually cried while watching this video because it shows how dismal life can be especially for those who are ill-fortuned. So guys, you should be thankful for even the littlest things that you have because some people got it worse than you; and that more importantly, you should at least try to give back to the society if not be a good citizen to help uplift our country.
This video and what it has shown is actually one of the many reasons as to why I want to support the RH Bill.
Boracay, Philippines
April 9-13, 2011
With Charles, Eugene, Roma, Kliff, & Ken
Five days in Boracay! It was fun! Too bad though that there were only a few pictures… Charles was the only one who brought a camera. I didn’t have any decent pictures/solos even! :|
*Purposefully did those black strips on my friends’ faces for their privacy :>
Now here, my Tumblr friends, is my brave friend, Eugene.
(The one who abandoned me when I thought I was drowning. HAHAHA! Kidding!)
From the guys that we had with us, he was the macho-gwapito (LOL!) of them all! Why? Because of course, he was the ONLY one who had the guts to jump down from the 16M drop! Yeaaaaah man! That’s like jumping from a 6-story building, more or less!
There was actually a warning sign on this drop; that only experienced divers are advised to jump from it. Inexperienced ones could dive but they are advised not to.
Of course that didn’t stop our dear ol’ Eugene! HAHAHA!
The thing though… is that, as you can see from the video. He made a mistake. Maybe the drop was too long for him that’s why his upper body bended forward—as if in anticipation of the water. And that’s a big NO-NO, so unfortunately, this happened to him:

He’s still alive and kicking, don’t worry! He was a bit jolted at first, but he laughed it off afterwards! His nose and gums must have been pressured too much—the effect was multiplied ‘cause he was still wearing his retainers when he jumped.
After this, and while we were on our way back to Manila he can’t help laughing (as well as us) whenever we rewatch this video of his. He personally said that he think he might have gone crazy! I mean, he repeatedly jumped over the 7M and 9M boards a LOT of times!
I salute you Eugene!
*Now, I think I should upload more of these videos in Facebook; I believe they’ve been waiting for this!
Ariel’s Point
Boracay, Philippines
7-meter drop

Cliff diving, baby!!!!
This was my first time and you have to definitely try this out when you go to Boracay! It’s so fun, exciting and… yes! Thrilling! :)) My tip to you? Just don’t freakin’ think about it. Just. Jump.
Haha! Because I promise you, if you dare stop and think, you’ll end up going back and away from the board! 7M was the only level I can jump. I dare not jumped from the 9M one, most especially on the 16M drop! It would be suicide! (One of our friends did though!)
In this video you’ll first see my first mindless jump(take note: mindless, ‘cause you shouldn’t think about it! I sure didn’t!) and you can even hear the voices of my companion shouting out to our other companion, Eugene. ‘Cause you see, we had a deal. I can’t swim. So… just in case I might die after I dive, Eugene went ahead and SHOULD BE waiting for me, assisting me to safety.
But guess what! Once I landed on water and resurfaced (the water’s very VERY deep so you’ll just instantly bob up the water ASAP), Eugene thought I could handle it so he left me alone! I WAS IN TOTAL PANIC!!!!!! (Just listen to my friends’ dialogue during the recording of the video!!! HAHAHA!)
And thereafter, guess what? I realized I could swim a bit! And for the love of my life, I freakin’ did! Hahahaha! My friends all scolded and then laughed at Eugene and then me. So anyway, seeing as I can swim, I went for my second dive which is also in this video.
Oh, the guy after me in the first drop is Charles, my ex! Haha! Our friends’ laughed ‘cause his feet were like in total hysteria that it was comical! :)))
The third drop wasn’t recorded; yet it was my biggest boo-boo. Becauseeeee, I started to become too mindful of the board and the sea and the height! I had to go back just when I was at the tip of the board and took quite a while as I mustered to gain my ‘mindless’ composure again. Thank God I did, so the jump went great!
• Please do not imitate me when I dive. You should be upright and your hands should be at your sides especially when you’re not a professional diver. That’s the least you could do to NOT hurt yourself. Unfortunately, it’s only after the trip did I notice that when I dive, my arms were above me! …that’s not right; but the good thing is, I wasn’t hurt!

• I still can’t swim. I thought a miracle had happened! I tried to try out my supposedly-swimming abilities on the shallow waters… and yeah, I can’t. Haha! I can’t even float! It seems like I can only float and swim when the water is very deep. But for only a short amount of time.
• With the board, I feel like I’m in a pirate movie—minus the sword-holding pirate to poke me. :))
Other activities in Ariel’s Point are snorkeling and canoeing. We had little time left for these activities ‘cause we had so much fun diving!
Fire Dancing
Boracay, Philippines
April 10, 2011
Finally! For lack of better things to do tonight, I decided to upload some of the pictures from Boracay! :>
It was my first-ever trip to this island and of course, how can you leave Boracay without catching a fire dancing show? We caught this group while we dropped by that bar/club beside Guilly’s Island—sorry, I forgot the name.
Anyhow… by the second day in Boracay, I got tired of seeing these fire dancing thing all the time :))
