DIVE LOG: Open Water Flash Back

I have been out of my Underwater Wonderland far too long. Coming from an at least every month Diving Habit since I got certified last January 2009, it is such a shame that my last Scuba Dive was last August 2010. So before it officially turns a year of Scuba Drought, my buddies and I are driving to Anilao, Batangas for an "Awesome Diving Weekend" this August 20-21. Since it feels like I'll be diving for the very first time, I cannot help but recall my first encounter with SCUBAAAA..

FAASTFORWARDD TO OUR LAST POOL SESSION ||>> Who can ever forget the NAUI JUMP?? I don't want to be a spoiler to all those who are yet to take Scuba Diving Certification Classes - All i can say is that its one Hell of a Breathtaking Jump that you cannot not try.

She Got INKED

THY WILL BE DONE ON EARTH AS IT IS IN HEAVEN
(Matthew 6:10)

 

The 6th to 7th of April 2011 (for all the good and bad ones) will always be sketched in my memory bank and eternally inked on my skin (on my spine to be exact) -- Yes, that's the fateful day that Charisma GOT INKED.



More than the Fascination of Art and the Desire to Fully Express my Self through it, having myself INKED is a Profession of my Faith and a reminder that though we have the Free Will to live out our lives the way we opt to - the Will/Plan/Purpose of the Big Man Up There is far More Greater than what are Minds can Conceive, Much More Fuller than what our Hearts can Hope for. 

This Year Marks my Quarter Life and its truly proving to be one Heck-of-a-Roller-coaster-Ride. 2010 was a shower of Love, Bliss and Unmeritted Blessings; 2011 is when Characters are Tested, Emotions are Pruned, and Individuals are truly made better by the Changes that they Challenged to Face, Embrace and Learn from. Bring it on 2011, with Hope Regained and Faith Refueled -- am Ready for You!
