Pawikan [Sea Turtle]

Ang Pawikan(Sea Turtle) ay isang uri ng malaking pagong o galapagong may mga palikpik imbis na paa. Karaniwang nabubuhay ito sa dagat. Kabilang ito sa superpamilyang Chelonioidea at Dermochelyidae. Ang mga ito ay reptilyang pandagat na naninirahan sa lahat ng mga karagatan ng mundo maliban sa Karagatang Artiko.

Isang Pakiwan ang nakakuha ng aking atensyon noong ako'y nag "dive" kasama ng akin mga kaibigan sa Samal Island, Davao. Pinangalanan ko itong "XycLer". Wala lang! Para may pangalan lang siya. :P

This Sea Turtle is approximately 6 feet long.

Ginawa kong lang naman talaga ang blog post na ito para i-share ko ung video na nakuha namin nung nag-dive kami. 

 

Sana'y nagustuhan niyo! :D

diving @ Samal Island, Davao

I never thought I'll go diving in Davao. I was in Kidapawan, North Cotabato when I contacted Xycris. Xycris invited me to stay overnight in his place to catch up and hangout. Since, I'm going back to Manila the next day, I agreed.

Xycris and his family is into diving. They have a scheduled dive the next day, Sunday.  He and his dad invited me to join. I was hesitant but excited at the same time. It will be my first time but I don't know how to swim. Hahaha!

On our way to the diving spot in Samal Island, someone caught my attention. He's a Japanese, good looking guy. He's been in Davao for almost 6 months already, he's a licensed advanced open water diver, an addict. What caught my attention really is that he's deaf. He communicate through writing using his tablet.

Here's Xycris getting ready to jump and preparing his underwater camera:

Yes! it's required to hydrate before jumping to the water.

underwater cameras are ready.

Eto naman po ung mga pictures na nakuha namin habang ini-enjoy ang pag da-dive. marami kaming nakuhang pictures pero syempre limited lang ang pwede ko ma share dito. :D

Clown Fish! Nemo is that you? :D

Eto talaga ang kumaha ng attention naming lahat: Isang "Pawikan" (Sea Turtle). Sa sobrang laki niya, e mas malaki pa siya sa akin. :D

"Pawikan" almost 6ft long

Sobrang nag-enjoy ako sa isang araw na pamamalagi ko sa Samal Island. Hinding hindi ko maigpagpapalit and kakaibang "experience" na iyon. Kahit kinagabihan kailangan ko nang bumalik ng Manila, kahit pagod at walang tulog, isang napaka-sayang bakasyon. Kahit ang akin mga pinakamamahal na pamilya at kaibigan.

The Magnificent Lake Sebu

Lake Sebu is a natural lake located in the municipality of Lake Sebu, South Cotabato and within the Alah Valley region. It's a beautiful 300+ hectare lake nestled 2316 feet up in the mountains. Lake Sebu is one of the many bodies of water supplying important irrigation to the provinces of Sultan Kudarat and South Cotabato. Also, it is the home of the indigenous tribes, the T'bolis, known for their T'nalak weave.

A visit to Lake Sebu's famous 7 Waterfalls and Zip Line.

I only visited 2 Falls. Falls #1 and #2 but i've already seen enough. The place was spectacular! From Falls #1 you have two options on how to get to Falls #2, you can take a habal-habal ride to get there (P100 - P150) or you can take the challenging route, 774 Steps stairs. The runner in me took the stairs and the view was magnificent. It's breath taking.

I don't need to say more. Here are the photos:

Falls # 2

@razzzledazzle_ Yours Truly! :P

Unfortunately, I never had a chance to try the Zip Line. It is said to be the highest and long Zip Line in Asia. It's Shamcey Supsup's fault. The Zip Line was closed because Shamcey is shooting her Nestea TVC at Falls #3.

"It has been an amazing experience.! I'll be back soon."

Hello razzzledazzle_

out with the OLD!

"karangkarot" has been my online handle name since i started joining social networking sites and also been used as my running handle name when i join the takbo.ph community. It was derived from the word 'kangkarot' which means people or someone who likes to move all the time/someone who move from one place to another all the time.

You might want to asked why changed "karangkarot"?

Simple. I am not that same person anymore! The foolish, immature, and brat "karangkarot" has grown up .

Say HELLO to "razzzledazzle_"

"razzzledazzle" was derived from the word "razzle-dazzle" which means a state of confusion or hilarity. In sports, it is a complex maneuver designed to confuse on opponent.

I am addicted to contact sports, hence, I chose the name. I had been training for boxing and muay thai. YES! I dedicated some of my time doing contact sports.

What's New? You'll find it out soon.. :D
