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!

Sugar Rush

5am in the morning we arrive at SM Mall of Asia (MOA) parking lot. I was with Phoebe, James, Jedd and Jay, who drove us. There were already a lot of participants roaming. I got off the car and started securing my toe nails with band aid! Ayokong matanggalan ulit ng kuko. Dalawaang beses na kong natanggalan. By 5.15am we were with the rest of the UP MBS runners. Yeahay! It's my first ever 10k run. 5.30am the event began. RUN! The MBS pack run All of us running together. I couldn't have finished 10k without the MBS support. I really can't believe I made it! I'm so proud of myself. An hour and 15 minutes of running. Whew! Now we have a time to break weee. My legs and feet are still aching! But the whole experience was worth the pain. Here's to more runs and a healthy lifestyle! More Photos

Short Lived 2 of 2

I learned and discovered things about myself and about relationships that I wouldn't have known without having gone into that short lived relationship. Lower the tone of my voice. He's the first person who told me that I talk as if I'm angry or picking a fight. And then I got it validated by a colleague who told me to hear myself when I speak weeks later. I'm very cautious now. I believe I have the sweetest voice already! Be vocal of how I feel . There's nothing wrong with showing your vulnerable side to your partner. Trust that your partner wont judge you or belittle you .  Be open and honest with everything. No secrets. Your partner has the right to now after all he's the one who should be able to listen to you and help you. Getting into relationship means hard work . It's not always fun times. Be ready to battle with different situations. Not everything is about YOU. Don't be self centered. I learned I have insecurities I need to fix. I nee

3 1K LOSS

 Today I lost 1K USD. It's the initial amount I invested on XTB. I'm now left with 223 USD, which is the total profit I gained since the day I started trading for real (Sept __, 2023).  Here's what happened. I mistakenly opened a wrong position. I checked long frames and they seem to be down trend. I put a trend line on h1 frame and it's also going down with 3 candles going up. I figured those were negligible and will eventually go down. I went on to check m1 frame and as soon as it went down trend, I clicked red for sell. And less than few minutes, trend went up. Increasing my loss too. I couldn't look anymore so I logged out.  My strategy was to let it open overnight, thinking it will eventually go down to the set TP. Hours later, XTB automatically closed my position at -1023 loss. I couldn't believe it. 3 weeks worth of trading with consistent gains, now all gone in just few hours and one single mistake.  Ok I understand now that it will take forever to get b
