guess who finally got wet in 2006

[CLA]

ps - nainggit ako talaga while it was in my hands kanina...nahulog ko pa nga (Joke!!!!)

Hahaha! Papasakal kita kay Ellen if that actually happened (just kidding).

You know I was also considering Ike and it took me ages to decide which strobe to buy. In the end I just flipped a coin. What Ike did you get? DS50 or the bigger one? I guess it's too late to ask this now but why'd you choose Ike? Did you have to change your housing as well?

Ike DS 50. Manual controller...you can actually control the intensity of the flash depending on your f stop. Also it is smaller but packs a lot of juice and it comes with a diffuser na.

Cathy, buy a diffuser for your strobe to avoid white wash. Also set the strobe in the "STTL" mode if you're not going to use a sync cable.. Its actually a switch at the back.

Well I can only give you my first impressions because we were together for only a few hours and half the time was spent underwater.

Jag struck me as a very “genuine” person- warm, honest, spontaneous and perceptive. I really appreciated the way he treated me like an old friend even though it was the first time we actually met. He seemed to greatly value the friends he has made in scubaboard and is especially fond of the PPD gang – especially you Caloy. He thinks you’re cool. Plus he had no macho diving airs whatsoever. You know how some divers act like diving is a competitive sport- walang ere si Jag. He seemed happy just to be in the water - which I guess is how it should be. He loves diving and is serious about improving his skill - I just felt sorry that he couldn't dive as much as he wants to. No complaints either even if ginutom ko sya. We finished the dive at around 2pm and never got to meet up after that. I think he had a hectic schedule and I was feeling under the weather that weekend. Anyway, I wish we could continue our kuwentuhan some time in the near future along with the rest of the PPD gang.

Jag- I hope you don't mind that I posted my impressions of you. All good naman. Just remember that I'd rather be behind the camera and behind the scenes my friend. Also, I was reading this post by diver dennis "are underwater photographers a PITA" in basic scuba discussions and am starting to feel guilty. Sometimes I forget that my camera is not my buddy and I hope I didn't neglect you while we were down there.

Caloy- did you see new gear at Ellen's? Ok ba? I'm so excited and can't wait to paly with them- as if naman I knew how to use it. What did you get? (off topic but well- I'm the OP naman).

rave reviews naman so it's ok hahahahahahaha

kaso buking that i have the hots for caloy

btw, i'm posting the DIY dive computer harness i was telling you about in another thread

hay naku! i took a whopping 2 photos during that dive trip! one of cathy, one of me, i was so excited to get into the water i didn't want to take the camera out of the dry box hahahahaha

cathy's so nice and sweet... very softspoken... but we shared so many stories about life in palawan, SB, you guys (read: chismis) and so many other things...

i also know her real age but you won't be able to guess it! (unlike the most of you whose ages are in no way secrets)

@Jag - Huy! I didn't ask for your pic. The bangkero is suffering from malnutrition I guess.
