!! Already edited the scenery pictures. !!

~ I was late. Good thing they didn't leave me. Thank you, guys!
~ I haven't had not one wink of sleep. Just imagine how I looked.
~ Loved the smell of the sea, I missed it
~ It's my first time, i think, to see a mangrove and plant them. It's also a first to see plants' roots growing upwards though the species that we planted grows roots down into the ground
~ I learned a new word, propagules, which refers to mangrove seedlings
~ It took us longer to, literally, cross the ocean get to the tree planting site on another island than do the actual planting of the offshoots
~ It's my first time to see and hold a live starfish and hermit crab. They, like, thrive in hundreds or thousands in the area, like a "constellation" of starfishes, and if you're not watching you step, you might step on them. I saw some dead starfishes, probably because they were trampled upon. Poor, Patrick.
~ Watching starfishes "glide" is really fascinating
~ I saw something eel-like thingy while we were looking for some more place to plant the shoots, and it freaked me out a little
~ Someone took home starfishes. Stupid heartless kiddos!
~ Raw pictures, they looked better on the cellphone's LCD screen. I'll edit them when I get the time.
~ Buko-flavored ice candy trips. Ayos.
~ Loved the sceneries, you should've been there. Hahahaha
~ Finally had fast food, which I haven't had for months. Ahw. Happy food.
~ I went to the HF Photoshop Seminar right after.
~ Went to party with friends after the seminar.

Oh, lookey here. I got a video!
