Anilao Trip - Day 4 and 5

Last day of diving cos 24 hours b4 taking a plane flight, we cannot dive~

First dive of the day - Except for the depth, i dun rem much - 100ft close to 30m...anything beyond tt i am "supposedly" not allowed to go cos 30m is for advanced...I guess the onli thing that bothered me was the LARGE amt of sea cucumber on the wall...it's disgusting :X saw the usual suspects..sea urchins, stone fish, frog fish, lion fish...we did see sth tt i dunno is it a sea snake or a long pipe fish =X hahaha but looks more like a sea snake...

second dive is the highlight of the day...cos the undercurrent is unbelievably strong, we are being swept, if it's wind, i would describe it as being blown away...seriously u have to experience it to fully appreciate how scary and strong the current was...i can't even fin back ...just follow the current...drift diving is too mild..more like fly diving...the rate we are being swept, i can't see anything except corals....BUT we saw a turtle!!! woohoo...Hernel suddenly stopped us and signalled for us to hold on to the rocks...i dunno wad we are supposed to look at, just busied myself with looking for a safe rock to hold on to...then i look up again and in front, abt 3m away is a turtle!! wooooooo :) but at that point of time, i was more concerned w staying alive, i was hyperventilating...breathing very hard from fighting the current...and i am very worried for my safety :X then i saw ade's bc being entangled w another guy's BUT the thing is i can't rescue her...if i let go of the rock i will be swept away...she was basically dragged by the current together w that guy...after he managed to grab hold of a rock, she was floating in the "air" and the reason why she hasn't gotten swept away was becos her bc was still entangled..it was reallie very helpless...looking on...luckily hernel realised it and helped them to untangle...so we all hung on to different rocks and watched on for a couple of minutes...the turtle is quite big and quite cute lah...like ben ben de...hahahaa well at least ade got her wish, she smsed the turtle and it showed up...how come i sms my shark but none turned up =.=

besides the turtle, i dun rem wad else i saw...cos the current totallie left me w no time to enjoy the dive...the tot tt flashed thr my head was "I AM NOT DIVING ANYMORE!" that's me - done with diving...hahahhaha...it's reallie scary ok...there were moments i was so scared i am gonna die...diving is considered as a dangerous activity~ but once it was time for the next dive i still went =.= hahaha 善变的我...

Last 2 dives were back w Joy.. a little episode up on the boat, my fin strap broke! so the ingenious boatman somehow had the tools to tape it back and secured it enough for it to stay for the next 2 dives :D thank you mr boatman~vis was bad on the top, descended w the rope again in case we get lost~

3rd dive at Twin Rocks was fun cos we got to feed the fishes~ there were reallie a lot of fishes there..and when they see food, they dun care who u are, they just crowd ard u, u wanna touch them, hold them also ok but the minute the food is finished, bye bye, totallie heartless...hahahah...tt's also where we saw the sch of jacks..they started to surround us, being in the centre is quite a view...everywhere u turn u see fishes :) we also saw an octopus, i think it was annoyed tt we saw thr its disguise and when it hid in the hole, it tugged on Joy's pointer until the string broke! strong lil fella...we also saw VERY BIG bat fish...i m not kidding, it's like half of me at least -.- incredibly big...like mutated fishes...cos too big...hahahaa

last dive was pretty normal...as it was our 4th dive alr, we can't go too deep or dive too long, so we just went Arthur's rock where there was a coral garden....i feel like i am at Nemo's house...there are many clown fishes there...reallie like the coral reef we saw on Finding Nemo...:) beautiful~

we had some difficulties getting up the boat cos the waves are huge! i hung on to the ladder for dear life as i tried to remove my gears...phew~ that marks the end of our diving adventures...

ade had her massage while ash and i stayed downstairs to chit chat a little w roger and andrea plus look thr the photos :)

since we dun have to wake up early for dives, we slpt pretty late that day...that's the night ade discovered we had a cockroach in the room!!! but luckily alr the last night le...so at least we din have to slp in the room knowing that it's inside...but poor ade had to endure the night thinking it might crawl up anytime...haha...

Day 5 was mainly slacking day...

can wake up late, eat as much as i wan, drink coffee etc...

afternoon, we left the resort and made our way to the city...i din take any photos cos no one seemed interested so there's no physical evidence that i have been to manila...haha...and the things in the city is not cheap lor...

shortly after dinner, i started feeling weird...got a pukish feeling...and throughout the whole time, just kept burping :( finally on the plane, i puked...i hate the puking feeling, i rather just stomach upset...but after puking i feel better just tt when i reached home, the feeling came back again so i din get to rest well...kept waking up w the feeling of puking...luckily the next day is a public holiday, so i went to see doc and the whole day i onli ate 1 small bowl of porridge + half a pear...hee...but by Tues afternoon i alr more or less recovered liaoz.. so much for stomach flu = can lose weight...hahaha
