Lahat puede sa Kamantigue

Every dive has its own unique story and memories worth reminiscing about. Lahat puede sa Kamantigue is an addition to MBS' collection of epic dives.

We've checked out Pagkiltatan, Batangas before and usually stayed in Aeres Beach. But this time we set camp in Kamantigue Beach.  The area was very chill. They have kubos, electricity, decent shower and toilet.

We had two dives lined up. Dive 1 was very beautiful. As soon as we had our shore entry, we saw how colorful the reefs were. While some were skin diving, Patrick, Ivan and Kuya Mark checked out the drop off SCUBA diving.

Dive 2 was back in our camp site. Swam all the way to the grotto. It was a smooth swim going to the grotto and relatively a short-distance swim. It was still as alive and colorful when we last dove in there.

The next day we went to Ilijan Falls. 10-15 minutes trek and you witness yet another wonderful spot to boast. Some conquered their fear of height and jumped. Special mention to Kimmie, who kept on saying "on three, 1, 2, (then bails), on three, 1, 2, (then bails)" (100x) hahaha. Good job you did it!


The Log Drop 


Imagine logs rolling from the top. That's what they did! Walang basagan ng trip, lahat puede sa Kamantigue! Dis hawi rol!


Quotable quotes

One for the ROD! ---always referring to Rod, an inductible
walang tulugan--- our deal for the night
cookie monster---referring to Diet who finished the cookies
Ang corny ng dive na to!--- me to Pat, who slept so early (I take it back though, nabawi ng falls!)
I'm screwed!---Dan vomiting and looking for his camera. (which all the while was in his bag)
Puede mag sorry?---asked when you did something wrong like being late, forgetting to bring butane (siyempre puede mag sorry, dahil lahat puede sa Kamantigue)

Others I don't recall anymore. Kamantiguers dagdagan niyo nalang!

And yesss it's a star-studded dive. We have Justin Bieber and Apl de Ap!

We had a happy weekend and it'll surely hype up the week ahead. Thank you for another fun dive episode. Looking forward to another dive on December!

Letting Go

Reading Thought Catalog can bring you a myriad mix of emotions, heartbreaking, sad, contented, relieved, happy, fortunate and a whole lot more. This particular article highlighted important points as if slapping me in the face to wake up! When someone decides you’re not the one for them, don’t argue with them. When someone decides you’re not the one for them, do not, I repeat, do not question yourself.   When someone decides you’re not the one for them, love yourself enough to let them go.   When someone decides you’re not the one for them, take your time to find yourself again, a self that isn’t confined within anyone’s definition of “the one,” a self that’s true, a self that’s happy.   Remember your life before them. Remember all the moments you felt so happy, so confident, so strong and it had nothing to do with them or being chosen by them at all. Everything mentioned in the article pierced my heart, and allowed me to come back into my senses...

October 31, 2017 12monkeys, El Pueblo It was a night of good music, food, drinks, and of course good company! Forever idol Ebe. Naalala mo pa ba sa Baler nakajamming ka namin sa Bays Inn? Ung pinipilit ka ng isang lokal na magtopless ka kasi nasa dagat daw! ! Anyways solid na tugtugan talaga ito. Sa uulitin sa dagat naman na ulit. Ok so tumugtog din si Gabby ng Urbandub at sobrang ok rin niya talaga. At gusto kong sabihing let us support local artists! Dahil ang daming talentong meron ang mga Pilipino.
