Christmas is still the best and most celebrated time of the year. Just a take away before I end this blog... Let us not forget the true meaning of this season. We do not have to buy expensive gifts for our loved ones, but if we have all the money to spend for them then it is good, otherwise, we can still show them our love by being there for them and by showing them how much love we have. Christmas doesn't have to be expensive, instead it has to be special.

Here's a wonderful Christmas message from Brian Walters

Merry Christmas everyone and may the good Lord shower us with His blessings and Love all throughout this and the years to come...

Peace to ALL!

Hound Haven Philippines

Hound Haven Philippines

I was browsing through the list of my favorite GMA documentaries when I came across an iWitness episode by Kara David on Dogs particularly on K9 dogs who served the military for the most part of their lives. My heart was torn into pieces upon learning the lives these dogs take on after retirement. Good thing Hound Haven is here to give them a temporary shelter and find them a new HOME...

Please watch and share!

I am sharing this with you all so as to create awareness that these furry friends need our care and to belong to a family who can provide shelter and love... They truly deserve more than what they are getting now...

Here is how we can help!

I believe they will soon find their new family. I am planning to visit this place one of these days... I know I can make a difference through small things, I hope you can visit them too!

See you! =)

Intro To Freediving

I recently had the chance to spend a weekend conquering one of my fears… Exploring THE SEA… and to top it all, I learned the basics of freediving.

Before I start, let’s define what Freediving is… According to Wikipedia (which I suppose is the “go to” for such definitions. Lol!)  - Freediving, free-diving, free diving, breath-hold diving, or skin diving is a form of underwater diving that relies on divers' ability to hold their breath until resurfacing rather than on the use of a breathing apparatus such as scuba gear.

Upon arrival, we were asked to leave an ID for the rental of freediving gears (snorkel and a pair of fins).

Introducing Coach Roger and my new friend Audrie

My good friend Reymond Pante who introduced me to freediving...

Pictures below were taken during lecture. So, since the activity entails holding your breath, we started off by learning the techniques of how to properly do it.

After this, we then proceeded to the site. Two options to go to the site, you can either walk (takes about 30 mins) or take a tricycle for 50php.

Pictures below were taken during the floating session before we headed off to the deeper part of the sea.

 

After checking on each of our swimming and floating skills, we then started to swim going to the diving site.

Below were our pictures during the diving activity. I didn't know that this event will change the way I look at deep seas (everything went good except from my few bouts with muscle spasms, lol!) Before I post our pictures, first off, let me thank the people behind this unforgettable experience. Freediving Coaches of Asia, you guys are the best. They are composed of people working on a common goal and that is to bring people closer to the sea... special shoutout to the Master Coach @Jeroen Elout who hails from another country yet chose to stay in our beautiful Philippines and spearheaded this freediving activity.

Free Diving Coaches of Asia aims to:

 1. To teach EVERYBODY on sea survival. To reduce non swimmer rate and the yearly drowning count. (Drowning is the no.1 cause of death among Thai youngsters aged 15 below, each year 3000 kids drown)

2. To teach freediving to everyone, because once people start to love the sea they can eventually help in taking care of it.

3. To train more coaches as thousands are needed if we seriously want to teach a nation how to survive at sea.

Freediving Main event

Kudos to all our Coaches Coach Roger, Coach Anthony and everyone (sorry I forgot the names of the rest of them)! You guys are really awesome...

Guys, here is the most recent upcoming event posted by Free Diving Coaches of Asia. Kindly visit their site and like the page.

Lastly, Special thanks to my newfound friends... I hope we can all get together again for another set of Freediving activity. Thank you everyone for being the best! Ryan Eramis Apayat, Aubrey Rodriguez, Crissy FabelPadre, Jeff Belchez, Kenneth Domingo, Lawrence San Juan, Tiffany Delos Santos, Presa Prangko, Rap Paolo and Reymond Pante.

I highly recommend this activity as it will make you appreciate nature at its best. Hope you enjoyed my weekend escapade! 'Til my next adventure!
