One Hell of a Week!

in OCD3 years ago

I don't care about personal bests and bragging rights. I don't care if I can't reach 10 meters as long as I can hold my breath long enough to pose for a photo. That's all the matters. 😂

Hello everyone!

How are you coping up with the crashing of the crypto market? Wait. Is that even crashing when it's crypto? If it was the stock market, the world would have gone crazy. It's been ages since I posted something on this account and I now don't know if I'm doing the right thing. I'm still catching up with a lot of my curation duties and other tasks requested by @acidyo, but I'm inserting this post because: Why not?.

So what really happened aside from a lot of people panicking over crypto?

Well, since this blog is all about me, I won't be sharing with you some world news. I will be sharing some updates on what I've been up to in the past week. I feel like that influencer who's been gone for a few days and then came back sharing a lot of stuff. Here's my "influencer" update:

Basking in the sun at Kota Beach in Sta. Fe, Bantayan Island. That was before I was burnt to the crisp.

I just came back home from a whirlwind of a vacation. Last June 14-16, we were in Bantayan Island with my researcher friends. It was my second time on the island since I've been there last 2016, but I appreciated the island more this time. We've been to familiar places, but there are places I've never visited before that I was still surprised. No wonder Bantayan Island is still one of the best destinations in Cebu. I've written a lot about Bantayan from my previous visit and you can find them in my blog. If you're interested, just scroll down in my posts as I'm so lazy to put a link here now. 😂

Let me share some photos to give you an idea of that escapade. Watch out for the full posts, but don't keep your hopes up. I'll probably write about it next year. 😁 I still have a lot of travel, food, and photography posts to share, but I'm always busy with OCD so...

That's me feeling my hair while enjoying the sunset in Bantayan Island. Told you this update is all about me. Did you notice I wear the same rash guard? Yes, because I couldn't to buy a new one at this crypto prices.

There's nothing there, bitch! It's just white sand.

Sun burn is shaking!

Looks like I finished the whole seafood platter. I'm the last man standing... No, I'm the last man sitting. (Yes, I tweeted something like this.)

From Bantayan Island, I just rested one day (June 17) and immediately prepared my stuff since we were scheduled for Moalboal on June 18. From June 18 to June 22 (today), we were in Moalboal for freediving. I was with @indayclara this time. June 19 was her birthday and we planned this last month that we would go freediving on her birthday. Five days and four nights with no itinerary except freediving! One of the best decisions so far! We met with @glecerioberto in Panagsama on June 19 since he was also in Moalboal with his other group of friends (who are also my friends). It was epic!

Admiring the corals of Moalboal up close and personal while trying not to black out cause no one's gonna rescue. 🙈

Again, let me just share some previews of that vacation. Expect more photos and videos from the freedives we had in the coming days.

With @glecerioberto's circle. I'm also friends with them, but I'm not part of their circle because I was a bitch way back. They're interested about Hive so hopefully they'll join.

I guess that's all for this update. I never realized it's really tiring to be an influencer. 😂 Since Hive and all of crypto are down and it might be a start of a bear market, I will lay low in the coming months. Consider me a bear who will be hibernating in a long crypto winter.

It was a blast, but I need to rest to recharge my energy. My introvert self is now raising the alarms. 😂

Thank you so much for accommodating and for the breakfast! @indayclara liked you so much so expect that we will meet you again soon! 🙈

Haha, introvert problems, need to recharge. Same here 🙌, I enjoyed the positive vibe over breakfast, and I learned something new from @indayclara. I look forward to meeting you both again soon 😀

Thank you @discoveringarni <3
Likewise! Thanks for sharing your energy too.<3

😍 I can't believe almost a week has passed since. Time flies! Have a wonderful weekend!

Good one. But I am afraid of the waters :/

You'll eventually overcome it once you expose yourself continuously. I was also afraid of the deep blue before, but I overcome it and it was a liberating experience.

Awesome photos.
Wow, that looks like an amazing trip. That seafood platter is something else. Looks like there was a lot of food there. I wouldn't have left either.

 3 years ago  

Go ahead! Have that vacation! But don't overdo it like me. After that continuous vacation, I needed some rest that I slept the whole day yesterday. 😂

Hi there, @ybanezkim26 it is true what they say if you needed a rest after a vacation it must have been good :)
