Dragon fruit Promotion

Been busy with our dragon fruit promotion lately. Dragon fruit?!?!? I know... I know... it's probably one of the weirdest thing to promote with regard to its exotic touch. But that's what pays the bills. =]

We are handling flyers out in 15 locations across HK. People who are interested in the prizes will have to collect 12 stickers and mail it back with the slip that we distribute out. Today, 14 flyers came back to the mail box. They got me pretty excited. Yes... but only 14 flyers. Hopefull there will be couple of thousands coming in for the next few weeks.

Dreamcatcher~















If you want a develop a hobby, you need to invest time
If you want a good living, you need to work hard
If you want a loving relationship, you gotta pour your heart

Being passionate about something often need sacrifices... But how much you are willing to give in? How much you are willing to sacrifice? When you are dreaming of becoming part of something great, would you leave all your responsibilities behind? Or they are just illusions to stop you to become who you wanna be?

There is no definite answer in life... do your best and you will become who you want to be at the end.

Bohol, Philippines - Diving Con't

OK, I think I got over excited on my first few postings, it is turing into an essay. Time to wrap it up. More pictures in my album which I will pose the link later. Before I go, two more pictures... just two more. =) dive dive, uhm... i meant bye bye.













Bohol, Philippines - Mt. Chocolate

CHOCOLATE HILLS! The world famous chocolate hills! You can only find it here in Bohol. It is an unusual geological formation which is composed of around 1,258 perfeclty cone shaped hills about the same size. During the try season, the grass dry up and turn brown, hence the name. Some people say it is formed by sub-oceanic vocalnism or lime stone weathering. Man... why make it so complicated, just think of them as super sized Hershey! Worhahaha. Believe it or not, some people claim this is the “8th wonder of the world”!


























There are actually some tribe dressing up to put up some touristy shows, such as ... blowing a fire ball~ Are they really local tribe? We wondered! Maybe they will be heading to a club late at night and dacing to Black Eyed Peas. MY HUMP~ MY HUMP~ MY HUMPPP...

Bohol, Philippines - Crew & Stuff

The diVe HaRd group. This is our crew. Roy, Paul, Waigor, Raymond, Nelson are all very experienced divers. Their wives are all very nice, too. It was so much fun to have them sharing their diving stories. We have learnt A LOT!




























STRANGE
STUFF! In one of the dives, I spotted something so eye catching, it looks like it’s glowING in the deep blue sea. I finned towards it and it is this pinkish lotus like plantation sitting on a hard coral. It is so strange because I haven’t seen anything like this before. Another strange creature is nudibranch (sea slug) which is quite popular in the divers world. But, it is strange looking, PERIOD.



























tiny
STUFF! This is my first imperial shrimp image so it deserves to have a place HERE! (Thanks to Wai gor for coordinating the shrimp position) Moving onto land, we are here to see the smallest primate, the Philippines Tarsier! He is about the size of my palm. Looks like his eyes are popping out huh... I wonder if it has a large brain. Maybe his brain is too big causing too much pressure to his eyes.

Bohol, Philippines - Part II

Unfortunately, I didn’t have the chance to see some big guys, but other group said they saw two eagle rays flying around 20-30m during their dive. Darn... It’s OK tho, because I have encountered the biggest school of jet fish EVER! I think there must be around 10,000 of them or even more. You got to watch out tho! The water gets murky when you swim close... Yes... fish dumps flowing all around!!!




























Another unusual visitor flied by my and the camera wasn’t quick enough to get started. I was only able to get his tail... This fella is not SMALL!















I did my first night dive in this trip. It was kinda cool to be in the water in complete darkness. In the beginning, everyone was kicking each other because we were in a big cluster and couldn’t see at all. I got a few kicks on my face and I kicked a few, Oooops... In a short while, we learned how to separate into two groups. It was extremely difficult to take pictures during night time since focus becomes an issue. At the end of the dive, we were filming a hermit crab with a spot light. It was pretty funny. I found it is better to take video than pictures during night dive.

Bohol, Philippines - Part I

This is our second diving trip, Bohol! Let me introduce my dive buddy/wife/model/camera lady. She likes to stay around 30m zone which I have trouble to catch up with. Bow Down~ Bow Down~




























This is the place to check out some of the most beautiful soft corals and sea fans. Other than that, a lot of clown fish. Maybe because there aren’t many big guys to be checked out so much attention was paid to the little ones.





























Sea fans and soft corals are just beautiful in Bohol. It is incredible to see the richness of underwater life. They impressed me so much I took so many photos and here are a few.
