In the pool where I’m swimming there’s an old chap working in the locker rooms. His job is to mop up water. See, he’s got this squeegee mop, but randomly he also uses a broom and dustpan to scoop up bigger, more evil puddles of water!
Before you swim you have a shower, right, and drop [...]

10 Bar Service!
Monday, December 14, 2009
About six months ago I invested in a Patima housing for my Canon G10 together with an Inon Z-240 strobe, a major step up after my Canon Ixus with on-board flash. I’ve taken a few thousand shots with it now and have actually managed to get one or two decent pictures!
The camera itself is a [...]

I’ve been in Hong Kong for just over a week now and I’m still grinning like a silly monkey every time I get outside. After living in London I thought I was ready for ‘just another big city’. Well, London is pretty big, but it’s not TALL! And I mean MONSTER TALL! I’ve never been [...]
Balik balik!

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 [...]

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 [...]
German bread!

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 [...]
iPod Touch vs. new iPhone
Saturday, June 13, 2009
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 [...]
Order up!

After starting to mentally compose the letter of complaint to EMS, the company who was supposed to deliver my parcel containing all of the exciting parts of the new underwater camera setup, and specially send a virtual boot to whoever is in charge of updating the non-functioning web-status, I was getting really impatient. I’ve never [...]
