A Free Sprited Homo Sapiens

Stayed in my room for 48hours! Random things keep going in and out of my freaking head. Things like, how will I get that CANON EOS 550D without completely selling my soul to the demons. I've been thinking about money, investments, business and reading "how will I become rich?" articles. Also, I've been browsing photographer's profile, and realizing how I badly want to be just like them. Sigh!

It's in my wish list!
And by the way, I got 3 days sanction for not reporting in school during the first day of classes. And on the second day, I was 27minutes late. Consequently, I have to face her, that woman who terrifies students with her incredibly horrifying gawk!  She told me, that she will be keeping an eye on me, which she also say to every  student who makes a not-so-pleasant impression to her. I wonder, how on earth will she be able to do that.  Well, I will surely be keeping an eye on her, while keeping an eye on me. She scares me. Guess, 90% of the population felt the same sentiments that I have. Hey Ma'am! I'll be as nice as possible, so I won't have to talk to you again. 

 Tomorrow's going to be the start of the true battle. 6 days in school, and I will absolutely be very busy on the things that I hate the most such as waking up early, trying really hard to understand my lessons, and of course pretending to be listening during discussions. However, no matter how I badly dislike these things, I will surely miss this. So for now, I'll try to enjoy every single day of my last  semester in my beloved school. 

Moreover, I'm currently trying to acquire that skill of not being scared to anything or anybody. I want to be - unrestricted, uncontrolled, FREE! Worrying about the things that are nonexistent is completely stupid and useless.


That's all for now!

The Summer 2011 Escapade

We ended our summer with a blast! My friends and I (by the way we call ourselves, The Castaways), went to one of the most popular tourist attraction in Matalom, Leyte -- The Canigao Island!


Canigao Island

Tacloban to Matalom is a 3hour trip. Fare is P200.00/head via a public utility van (Van Vans). From the highway we rode in a pedicab (P5.00 fare) going to the area where we could rent pump boats going to the Island. Matalom to Canigao Island is a 15minute trip, and we paid P45.00 (back and forth) for the fare.


Pump Boat
It was almost 4:00pm when we reached the Island. We paid P20.00each for the entrance fee. And since there were no more cottages available for us, we opted to rent a tent for P300.00 and a mat for P80.00.

Tent

After setting up everything, we started going around the Island.  Small stores were already established where you can buy foods, drinks, souvenir items and some other things you might need. They use generator as a source of electricity.

So these are some of the few remarkable things we saw in the island.
The lighthouse. However, we didn't saw it's powerful flashing lights.
Summer Romance - Get a room please!

Jellyfish - Don't touch it.
Can't take his eyes off you!
Of course - The fine, white sand!
Corals everywhere!
Sea Urchin - You may now rest in peace!
Canigao Island -- At last! *phew*
And by the way, this trip wouldn't be this FUN without them --- THE CASTAWAYS!


The Splash!
One day, these things will be remembered as one fun-filled summer 2011. And that I would be one of those people who will be proud to say: Oh yes! I've been in Canigao Island!
The happiest people don’t have the best of it. They make the best of everything.
