Scuba diving at Boracay

My favorite hobby.. I was so excited to go diving in mainly because it is tropical water meaning I don't have to don my 7 mm wet suit, just a board shorts and rash guard shirt, Yippeh! My first dive was wreck diving into a sunken vessel. My buddy and I went down 97 feet and was able to penetrate the vessel.

The second dive was shallower just about 40-60 feet with "mini wall" diving. Corals and marine life were all beautiful.

the most beautiful sunset

I finally got a chance to start organizing all the pictures I took while on vacation at the beautiful islands of the Philippines. All my posting  for now will be " vacation pictures". To start off is the most spectacular sunset I've seen in long time. This was taken at Boracay beach. They say travel photos is not complete without a sunset . It was pretty amazing watching the sun go down. Radiant colors filled the sky. Below the pictures are the times these pictures were taken to give  you guys an idea how long it took for the sun to disappear from the horizon. Enjoy !

back in town

It was indeed a fun and exciting vacation, short but full of memories. I was nice to see my family and old friends back home, my native land the Philippines. Of course the highlights of my trip were
1. Attend the first Toboso family grand reunion in Ilioilo
2. escapades in Boracay- enjoyed the beach, diving and nightlife
3. spent time in Marinduque, my hometown-we were given an grand welcome by a tradition called "putong" where we were serenaded and was given crown and bouquet of flowers
4. Diving in Batangas-that was so awesome. Corals and marine life are magnificent. I will go back there in a heartbeat
5. Manila-the traffic, overcrowded malls. went to have some clean fun at comedy bars in the Library and Music Box. that was fun....

I will be posting pictures soon..so please come and visit again. Cheers!
