Anilao Trip - Day 2

Didn't slp very well, kept waking up every hour or so...

when it was time to wake up...as predicted, ash was the first to get up...hahhaa ...ade and i continued to 赖床...

very soon we had to battle the waves and get on the boat again...start of our day (like fishermen lidat)...go out to the sea...to Daryl Laut, a hotel tt collapsed in the late 70s...

was supposed to swim over the structure etc...was a bit concerned w my buoyancy so i stayed very close to Joy and tried to keep away from the frame works in case i cannot control and crash into them...

Saw a small baby frog fish + a bigger one...both trying to stay camouflaged but Joy spotted them and the small one being inexperienced, got spooked by us and tried to swim away while the bigger one is more zai and continued to stay still as though it's part of the coral...hehe...very cute scene...

We saw a sch of STAGNANT bat fishes...with the leader swimming alone...quite an amazing scene o.o maybe i mountain turtle...i nv see stationary fishes b4...keke..

There were a couple of trumpet fish...very weird looking fish..nice :) also saw a big fat clam...opening n closing the mouth =.=

Saw big fat mantis shrimp for the first time...but cos of the pincers, i dun dare to go too near...and b4 i know it, it zoomed into the hole liao..haha

Joy showed us a big long sea cucumber, it's quite disgusting actuallie...grossified =\

just b4 we ascended, the pros were crowding ard the big patch of sea urchins ...apparently they were looking for mandarin fish~ but i din know at that time and b4 i knew it i was slowly floating up...then i spotted an unsuspecting mantis shrimp so i signalled ash to come and take BUT she saw the nudi near the shrimp instead and took photos of the nudi...i was like...-.-" and cos i was floating up, i decided not to go lower to point to her where the shrimp was...haha...lazy~

Due to the history of Philippines (ruled by the Spanish for 350yrs), there are quite a lot of names of places in Spanish, some of the natives can speak a little spanish too..the next dive site we went was called tres cuevas (3 caves)...Current was strong that day...i was swept to the right all the time and i kept banging into Joy...i dunno how she managed to stop herself or slow herself down...i am totallie not in control of my body...just letting the current sweep me =.= I had to fin back and hold on to rock (double checked to make sure it's not a stone fish in disguise) to look at the small crab and shrimps in the anemone / corals...Clown fishes are as territorial as ever...frowning at us as we swim pass their houses...keke...

After the 2nd dive, i had a headache and decided to skip the 3rd dive...tt's when they saw a black tip shark!!! ahhhhhh! wasted! :( ade stayed w me cos she twisted her ankle when she jumped off the boat...when i jumped off the boat, i scraped my back against it -.- injury #183 i think =.= so injury prone...zzz...

Both of us slpt till they came back from the 3rd dive i.e. we slpt for close to 4 hours!!! so as expected, i totallie cannot get to slp in the night while ade snored happily beside me...so li hai~

the mango shake at the resort is nice, for someone who doesn't reallie like mango, i liked the drink but nothing beats coke :P but i onli drink coke at dinner cos i dun wanna keep burping into my regulator...hahaha..even without the coke, i alr burped very frequently into the reg le :X

after a bad night of slp, i was a little zombified the next day...but more ppl came, it was no longer just the 5 of us...so the dining table got more n more ppl liaoz...just tt we din mingle...still stuck to the ade and ash...zzz
