PhotoHunt: Triangle
Filed under Photohunt, beach, travel
Hooray! I am back in the blogosphere and in PhotoHunt! 
I celebrate my comeback with my favorite element—fire. This is a bonfire we lit on a weekend getaway to a beach in San Remigio, a town on the northern tip of Cebu which boasts of having the longest shoreline in the island province. It takes around three hours to get there from the city. I made the mistake of eating a rather heavy breakfast before we hit the road, so on the way there my stomach felt funny. I puked twice on the road. It was embarrassing, but all in all the trip was great because I was with great company. 
San Remigio is also a great diving spot, but I was such a coward that I didn’t try it even though I really, really wanted to. The diving instructor said I need to learn to swim first before I should try diving (maybe because he didn’t want to be responsible for me).
Believe it or not, I grew up in a coastal city and the beach is my favorite place to be, but I have not learned to swim after all these years. No one taught me to swim when I was a kid, and I think the fear grew bigger as I grew older. Now I wonder if it is still possible for someone in her early twenties to learn such a basic skill?

That’s great- er I mean the photo- not the puking bit !!
LOL
thanks.

Beautiful shot… perfect for remembering something worth remembering.
Good to see you back.
I agree with you. I’ve been there once in San Remigio.
How high is thaat bonfire?
i also don’t know how to swim. and i know the feeling.
i love the bonfire. and am glad to be reading you again.
nice photo. and *woot* you’re back!
SanRemigio seems to be an intriguing place to get to. As for the scuba diving, i’ve been planning to get formal lesson for it. But you know, you don’t need learn how to swim to dive. You just got to listen carefully to your dive master and have fun. However, learning how to swim really helps in the confidence factor in diving.
Nice job! What a creative shot!
@Bengbeng

@philos

@bing
thank you too! i’m glad to be back! i’ve missed a lot.
@maya
yes, i am.
@Marites
that’s what other people told me, but the dive master insisted that i needed to know how to swim. maybe i should just look for another dive master who would allow me.
@jam
thanks!
[…] of was diving–I’d heard from a diver friend that they offer diving lessons in Maribago. I’ve been wanting to learn how to dive. It usually costs around P15,000 to get a license. The manager, however, said I should just let him […]
