I’m back in Moalboal, back working a few days in Kasai before I start my next mini-adventure; I’m going to stay with my friend Jussi in Hong Kong for three months! He’s been living there for a while now and has a spare bedroom, I needed somewhere to stay with a good internet connection to [...]

Mashed
Sunday, August 30, 2009
Life is slow here in Siargao, way slower than it ever was in Moalboal, the obvious difference is of course that I was working in Moalboal, but still, the pace of life here is just not the same. I also find it very hard to get anything done! I had all these plans on organizing [...]
Paperwork
Friday, August 7, 2009
I’m now back in Siargao to hopefully get a little bit less sucky at surfing. But I tell you, it’s a hard task when you’ve have ten-yearolds handing you your ass back after you’ve completely wiped out AGAIN… And we’ve not even started talking about the teenagers and older, it truly is a humbling sensation. [...]
My last breath

Tomorrow is my last day working for Kasai Village, at least for this time around, I’m sure I will be back here for some great scuba diving in Moalboal again soon. Last night we went to Chili Bar to see if this weeks pool competition brought any people… well, the competition was canceled but I [...]

We have a big group of guests here now, 14 divers from California that’s come to scuba dive in Moalboal. This is the biggest group we’ve accommodated during my time here and there’s been quite a bit of planning and preparation.
The restaurant here has been the weakest link for a while and we’ve now had [...]
The BFG

When I was a child my mother worked as a teacher, but more importantly she was also the school librarian. Obviously my dear mother was generally inclined towards reading and learning, being a teacher and all, but every now and then she would bring home a box of new books that was going into the [...]
Older & wiser
Monday, July 6, 2009
Another year gone past, hopefully some new things learned. I feel wiser, for sure!
So my time in Kasai Village is drawing to an end, I’m working until the end of this month and then I’m going surfing in Siargao for six weeks. To top things off we are going to have a pretty full house [...]
iPod Touch vs. new iPhone

Right this moment I’m curled up in some kind of rattan hammock which is hanging in a little hut by the edge of the sea. I am struggling a little bit getting my legs comfortable but it’s a struggle I’m slowly winning so that’s ok.
I’m typing this entry, together with all other online activities [...]
Surfing Cloud 9 in Siargao
Friday, June 12, 2009
Yesterday we went out to catch the beginning of the late high tide in the late afternoon. Actual high tide was around 7, which is a bit late since it’s already dark, but we managed to catch a few waves. I didn’t do too well, guess I could say I stood up for a second [...]
Holiday away from holiday
Thursday, June 11, 2009
My friend Ben is here visiting for a few weeks and we’re currently on this small island in the very eastern Philippines called Siargao. It’s main activity is surfing and it’s now super low season with small
waves suitable for beginners, which we definitely are.
The journey out here couldn’t really have been much easier; a cheap [...]
