<b>Water Spout </b>- A waterspout is an intense columnar vortex that occurs over a body
of water, connected to a cumuliform cloud. In the common form, it is a
non-supercell tornado over water. Source: <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Waterspout" target="_blank">Wikepedia</a></div>

We are navigating in Singapore going to China to deliver Soya beans. One of our AB spotted the water spout ahead of our ship it is dead ahead of us. My Chief Officer commanded to alter the course to starboard to avoid it. As
we approach the waterspout you could hear like a Rasenggan was being
cast by Naruto. If you watch anime then you could get what I am saying. This is my second time to see a waterspout but the first one I wasn't able to capture. But this time our Deck Cadet was able to capture this amazing phenomena. I wish I could see more and capture in high definition.<br />

If you are wondering what is "PABIRIK"? Pabirik is an essential tool used by miners in Paracale. Usually, it is made of strong circular wood. Just look at the photos below. The participants in Street Dancing Competition hold a Pabirik. <span style="text-align: center;">It is said that the reason why Spaniards colonized Paracale is because of the gold underneath the town.</span><br />

Mining is like gambling you didn't know if there is gold. Usually, you didn't get anything. Many lives are lost because of mining. Miners sometimes get trapped below the ground or drowned.</div>

Last October 27, 2012 I attended the 8th Philippine Komiks Convention or Komikon at Bayanihan Center, Pasig City. Inside the building I saw different kinds of comics indi, mainstream and local comics. The only reason why I attended this event is to see and to have a autograph of <span class="st">Budjette Tan and Kajo Baldisimo the writer and artist of the famous TRESE Komiks. Aside meeting Mr. Budjette Tan and Kajo Baldisimo I got a chance to meet other artist like Huebert Khan Michael, Stephen Segovia, Carlo Pagulayan and Lui Antonio. They do sketches if you buy a paper provided by Komikon with Komikon label. </span><br />

I know that this post late about Panagbenga Festival. All
the photos you can see here are taken last February 2012. My family went to
visit Baguio City to have some quality time and relax. When we get there we
checked in to the hotel. We rested for a while because of the 8 hour drive from
manila. Our hotel was near the grotto so I decided to take a walk. I was having
difficulty in breathing when I started to go the Grotto maybe because of the
steep stairs. That was my first time to go there and walking solo in Baguio
City. <o:p></o:p></div>

The next morning I woke up early to watch the Parade and
Street Dancing Competition held every fourth Sunday of February. That time I
brought my new D3100 camera that was the first time I’ve used it and the only
time to practice photography. I took a taxi to go to the Melvin Jones Grounds
to take my spot to in taking pictures. I felt the cold air of the morning and
felt the suns heat. I have this burning sensation in my forehead but I endured
to see the Parade up-close.<br />

In this post i would like to share to you what is happening inside
Cockpit arena. Cockfight is a bloodsport between two cocks(Roosters), or
we can call them as gamecocks. The fight between gamecock is held
inside a ring called cockpit. The aim of the game is to fight ultimately
until one them dies or critically injured and unable to play.</div>

Inside the cockpit you will see "SULTADOR" the one who hold the
gamecock. "SENTENCIADOR" by the name itself you can know what was his
job, he's like the referee of the game. "KRISTO" what i know his job is
he just shout a language that a i don't understand. <br />

And even until we reach college Jose Rizal life work's still needed to be studied. Reason? Because his life and works inspire Filipinos </span>especially young people whom he said will be the future of our nation.<div><br />

<span style="font-family: inherit;">We all know that Dr. Jose Rizal traveled to places like Europe and some parts of Asia but he has never been to Daet, Camarines Norte. The reason why I am saying this is because the first and oldest monument of Jose Rizal was constructed in Daet, Camarines Norte. The Bikolanos build the monument to honor the late Dr. Jose Rizal. They started to build the monument on December 30, 1898, two years after his execution. The monument was completed after 2 months and the old mortars and boulders from the old </span>Spanish<span style="font-family: inherit;"> jail were used to be the foundation of the monument.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: inherit;">I've been living in Paracale, Camarines Norte for the past 32 years of my life. I just recently learned that the Oldest Jose Rizal Monument was built in Daet, Camarines Norte a one-hour drive from our place. The monument is located in Freedom Park where a lot of students hang out. I used to pass that area when I visit my mom in her former office and I thought it was just a stone beside the road.</span></div>

<br />
The Mahabang Buhangin is located at Tinaga Island where tourist are amaze by the beauty of the powdery white sand and the clear waters surrounding it. <br />
<br />
After a long year of being away from the Philippines, my friends and I decided to reunite and have a relaxing day at Calaguas. Each of us contributed for the food and the boat that we will be using. The cost of renting a boat is 7k and its capacity is 20 to 25 people. We were just 6 in our barkada but luckily my friend <span style="color: red;"><a href="http://kevinthetravelboy.blogspot.com/">Francis Kevin</a></span> invited some of his friends from Manila and that lessened our contribution for the transportation<br />
<br />
Once you're near the island you'll see the bluish clear water, you'll be entice to dive in the water! Just Be careful because the water is too deep so wait for the boat to be near shore. <br />

I suggest that you bring sun glass and your own tent. You need the sun glass to protect the eyes during noon because the sun rays reflect to the sands causing you eye to get burned by the light. There is no commercial establishment that offers any accommodation that's why you need to bring tents.<br />

<span style="font-family: inherit;">Last March,
I was with my girlfriend in her school accompanying her to process her
application for graduation. When we got there,
the line was too long and
it will take her long hours to wait for
her turn. I've decided to leave her for a while
with her friends. It was my first time in PUP and while I was
roaming around, I passed the old house of Apolinario Mabini.</span></div>

When we got there a lady assisted us to the receptionist to sign the logbook. After that another lady came to us and led the way to another room where the paintings of Juan Luna and Felix Hidalgo are located. There were other rooms you can visit, there is a huge room made for Fernando Amorsolo's art works. Using flash in your camera inside the gallery is not allowed. The flash causes the colors of the paint to fade. Touching is also not allowed because the sweaty fingers may react to the canvas.</div>

The second floor wasn’t available that day because it is being used by the senators. We were not able to see the bone structure of a whale and handmade crafts of different ethnics of the Philippines. Some rooms are not available because the building is under renovation. We went to the next building where Philippines culture are shown.<br />

others. Going here with your family is a nice way to have a family bonding.</span></div>

The photos below are taken in anchorage area in Port Hedland. While we are in anchorage area, waiting for the berthing schedule to load iron ore I saw this huge whale. I don't know what breed or kind of whale is this but seeing a whale up close is just fascinating maybe because it's my first time to see in real life. One time there is something happen that shocked all of us. We we're watching the family of whales go around our ship that moment I am thinking that they are hunting foods. One of the A.B. is hauling his nylon he thinking that he caught a fish. He didn't realize the whales are chasing that fish. After that incident the whales went beside in our ship that's why we are able to get this photos. The whales are just there as if there are waiting for something. The A.B. once again throw his fishing tool but we are shocked when the whale also jumps causing the nylon to be cut off. We all just laugh at that moment the whales must be angry because they prey got stolen by our A.B. If you notice in the last photo the little whale seems to be looking at us maybe that time they have a plan. </div>
