GIRLS... GIRLS... GIRLS...

I am a beauty pageant fan. But I am not a frustrated beauty pageant contestant. Hahaha!!! Last week, I had the chance to go on a one week caravan tour with 24 MISS EARTH candidates from different countries. It was an opportunity to talk and know more about the girls. I took pictures of them everywhere they go. I had the chance to dance with them.

The caravan went to Pagsanjan, Tagaytay, Cavite and Calatagan. The girls had courtesy calls, tree planting activities, parties, swimwear and talent competition and fun on the beach and waterfalls. It was a tight and hectic schedule. But the girls managed it, maintaining their poise and grace even under pressure.

Thanks to OPMB for making this possible. Visit www. opmb.com for more pictures. Actually, I was sent by OPMB to be with Miss Colombia because it was OPMB who sent her to the pageant. I was assisting Miss Colombia, Lia Correal, during the activities.

I will miss the girls!!! It was one week with them and we had a hell of fun!!!

Here are some pictures with the girls:

32 FEET UNDER WATER

I had my first taste of the Underwater Experience, Scuba Diving. The idea started when I wanted to go on vacation. I thought of something new. And since I love the water so much, I thought of a new thing to do. Not the usual swimming and strolling on the beach. DIVING!!! All I wanted then was to take pictures of myself underwater.

WOW! It was an experience of a lifetime. Good thing is I'm an experienced swimmer and diver because I live near the sea. My Scuba instructor even laughed at me because he was the one catching up with me under water. I swam too fast, he told me. And to my instructor's surprise, I swam so deep for a first timer. For beginners, it must be only up to 20 feet deep. But i went even deeper, 32 feet!!! Wow, I didn't know it was that deep because I enjoyed swimming with the fishes and looking at the corals.

And guess what? I found NEMO. hahahaha!!

I will go scuba diving again!!!
