to the 3 readers of my blog, i apologize for the rather long delay in posting messages. the office had been preparing for this big presentation, so i couldnt do much on my rest time except read the online newspapers.
at any rate, we went to legazpi city for business, then last saturday, we went to see the whale sharks (butanding) at sorsogon. initially i didn't want to, since i'm not really a water person & my bora trip w/ bambi would be coming up soon (watch out for bora bloopers!). but since it was quasi-office thing, i went ahead.
i have only ridden (right tense?) in bancas in less than five times throughout my entire life. when i rode last saturday, it was so cool! the spray against the face, the freedom of being able to sail across the water, it was amazing!
afterwards, the spotter would stop the banca and point to where the whale shark has been spotted (hence his title). in our flippers, masks, snorkels, and life vests, we dove in to swim for the fish. the first two times i missed it, but upon the third time (sans vest), i got to see it! beofre i went for the trip, i thought the whale shark was only as big as a human, at most (you can bonk me on the head now.). upon seeing the creature, it was huge!!! It was longer than a danged car!!! I even almost touched it’s tail fin! Wow!!! :D:D
=============
unfortunately, during our return back to the metro, we came in the airport late by 5 minutes!!! As a result, we had to take a rented van to manila, which takes around 8-10 hours. At camarines sur, we even experienced a blowout! Hay, 5 minutes… :(
