plunging into the abyss

The project that I need to finish before mid of this month is honestly suffocating! When you have it all laid out and still the result seemed to appear so vague, I couldn’t help but think of something that will at least break the toughest ice.

While most of the people who come here home in on climbing the majestic heights of Mt. Apo, my friends and I came to a unified idea of [skin diving] in the south. I can see everywhere a line of mountaineers wanting to explore the sulfuric trail above. I really admire them and do wish that one day I too can make it at the summit. 

Work is what brought me to this place but I am most thankful to have this amazing chance over the weekend to take a plunge into the abyss of the Pacific Ocean.

No one among us has gills to use to stay long in the deep. I have my scales though which perhaps pushed me to bathe into the sea! What we have on hand were snorkeling masks and fins, aqua shoes, underwater camera, rash guards and a full tank of courage!

The giant cliff of about 90 feet deep divides this amazing body of water into two compartments - one leading to the sea and the other to a restricted cave. Dancing along with the fishes was an explainable experience. So accommodating of them, I remember brushing gracefully a few off my face because they're already blocking our way.  

We've got plenty of marine treasures in the Philippines. It took us a day and a lifetime to find the place, but it's all worth the long travel. The day is nearly expiring but up to this time, I can feel the fish tails and lovely bubbles we had under the sea. 

So real a kingdom when nature spins magic into the deep!
