Day 53: Dive Logging

Vela Luka, Croatia Not much happened today besides doing my Divemaster training course (ie. assisting Tom and his students with Advanced Open Water Navigation course) in the afternoon. I’ve been racking up dives lately and I ran out of space in my dive logbook. Was […]

Aw, Tom and Charli!

Day 52: Goodbye Charlotte!

Vela Luka, Croatia A lot happened today…. where do I begin? Morning: During our dive briefing in front of the dive center, we heard this loud bang. We turned to see a yacht, a rowboat broken in half, and 4 kids in the water. Apparently, […]

Mosquito Coils

Day 51: damnumosquitoes

Vela Luka, Croatia I have to admit I didn’t really take any picture today. So today’s topic will be something I would have posted two days ago had we not bumped into the grasshopper in the staff house. Ever since two weeks ago, I have […]

Day 50: Urban Explorers

Kid Jumping Across Bonfire

Day 47: Summer Solstice

Vela Luka, Croatia I was on the evening shift today at the dive center. On my way back home around 9:30pm, I went pass a bunch of people sitting outside their house and watch their kids jumping through bonfire. I thought it was just some […]

Day 46: Thirties Are The New Twenties

Vela Luka, Croatia Andy kept reassuring me that thirties are the new twenties. I think he’s more concerned with my psychological well-being now that I hit the big 3-0. I spent the day working as usual. It started off with dive-leading two New Zealanders and […]

Last Day in My Twenties

Day 45: For Tomorrow

Vela Luka, Croatia Last day of being in my twenties! I thought I’d take a picture of myself before I became “old.” Hehe. I’m pretty much the colour of oompa-loompas from Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. Guess that’s what a month of sun would do to […]

Open Water

Day 44: Open Water

Vela Luka, Croatia The whole staffs went to a sea-urchin clean up mission for the day and I was stuck at the dive center scanning. During which, I bumped into this article in a dive magazine about Bobby and Marjolein. Apparently, when they were working […]

Vela Luka, Croatia So…. I don’t know what it was between me and Facebook all these years. I refused to be on it despite everybody’s urges. No particular reason either. But today was the day I finally gave in. I guess I realized that people […]
