Today, I was lucky enough to have an amazing encounter with the playful dolphins. I've never seen this much and this close. However, I found it hard to get nice pictures of them because they were very fast. So here are some pictures that I have taken, no (dolphin) jump shots though, I'm such an … Continue reading Dolphin Cruise

I was browsing through my folders today and saw the photos I took last December when I stayed in Male' for a day prior to my flight to Manila.

And if the view is not enough, … Continue reading Maldivian Colors of Serenity
I gate crashed yet another fishing party today. The boat left the island at 6:45 am. The moon was still up, the sky still dark. Our eyes half awake, our stomachs craving for warm coffee. I waited for the sun to come out. It's been a while since I last saw the sunrise. I sat by … Continue reading I Thought of Today

Our department decided to visit a resort nearby, Sun Aqua Vilu Reef to hold our farewell dinner for one of … Continue reading Resort Visit – Sun Aqua Vilu Reef

Hence, expect that the country will be so blue. But wait, there's more to the place than just being blue. On … Continue reading Maldives in Different Colors
If there are few things that I have learned upon living castaway-ingly for almost a month, it's not how to catch fish using my bare hands nor how to climb a coconut tree. What I learned so far (and I'm still learning) are these two virtues that are very difficult to learn, let alone practice in … Continue reading A Test of Patience and Contentment
Day 2 ko na sa Maldives. Di pa ako nakakaget-over sa fact na dito na ako magtatrabaho. Feeling ko turista lang ako. Pinag-stay ako as guest dito sa hotel dahil kailangan daw maexperience ng mga staff kung paano maging guest. Siyempre ako masunurin lang naman na empleyado. Naka-stay sa isa sa mga villas dito, kumakain sa … Continue reading The Ocean is Calling
