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. I stayed in a guest house and took some photos of the room while letting the time pass. I am so used to being alone without feeling… Continue reading Melancholia
One of the perks of working here in the Maldives is that whenever you get stressed from your daily tasks or routine, you can just go out of your office and look at the stunning view and you'll be so relaxed when you get back to the office. 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
Fishing is my most favorite thing to do here in the Maldives and a lot of my colleagues have noticed my love for this activity. My friend even said, when Aysa hears about fishing, she forgets everything - even me. Whenever there are fishing trips, I am usually present. Sometimes I get invited, sometimes I… Continue reading I Gate Crash Fishing Parties
Malé is the capital of the Maldives. It is small and densely populated. Today, I got a chance to roam around the city and have taken some photos. Streets Male has narrow streets, of course, what do we expect from a very small place. Hence, people use motor bikes and you'll see tons… Continue reading Roaming Around Malé
It is not easy to island hop here, hence in my 6months here in the Maldives, I've never visited any other resort except ours (the company that I work for I mean) till last week. 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
In this post, I won't talk a lot. I will just show you the Maldives through my eyes (and lenses). 5o Shades of Blue The Maldives is composed of 99% water and 1% percent land. 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
