My Water Moments - So Near Yet So Far

If I had to choose between outdoor activities such as trekking, climbing, firefox-ing, etc and water related activities, I would choose water related activities. HANDS ZDOWN!! I enjoy snorkeling, swimming by the deep end of the pool and someday, I wanna give scuba diving a try. It would be so awesome to swim with non-scary looking sea creatures and I wanna admire the view down under. Heehee. Now now, dont act all shocked and surprised that I actually enjoy a sport. You can lift your jaw back up or something.

So anyway, when I heard the family was planning a trip to PD last month, I got all excited. I mean...hitting the beach would mean snorkeling, banana boat rides, swimming....how not to go all gaga??

The hotel we stayed in was called Thistle.

By far, the best looking hotel I've ever stayed in. The room was big and the interior design was so modern and high class. Don't get me started on the toilets!! It was so pretty and comfy!! Uncle Bill got a great package deal on the hotel rooms, therefore the decision to stay over for a random weekend getaway.

After we checked in and had lunch, off to the waters we went!!

I look like I'm drowning because I sorta was. The pool was bloody deep and I was trying to stay afloat while posing. Hard work okay. See, if we had a camera that could be brought into the water, then different story lah. We'll get to that later.

Next, we marched over to the beach for some fun in the sun!! I think the most exciting part of this trip would be the banana boat ride. It had to be mild because Lil Ethan was on it and we were pussies. LOL. Since I didnt want to bring my camera with me for the ride and let the wave kill it, I asked my mom to help take a picture of us on the banana boat.

This is what she got.

Looking at this makes me wish that I had camera that is water proof, shock proof, temperature proof and can snap pictures near water, under water and above water. Awesome kan? Oh well.

The following are other results of the photos I've taken with my regular camera and the inability to get closer to the waves.

More sea and sky, less sand.

Anyway, now you see my point kan? All my pictures have to be a distant away from the water. Cant go any closer also. Now, if only I had something like the DSC-TX5 a.k.a Sony CyberShot T series.

Ch-ch-check it.

If I had this camera, my pictures would have been so much better in so many ways. I could at least snap pictures and show how the real water experience was. I spotted so many funny looking creatures but unable to snap pictures because duh, it was the water and I would have snapped some if my camera was water proof. Oh, here's something random. When I go swimming, I put on my contact lenses and I dont have my own goggles therefore, I cant see what's underneath the water. With the Sony TX5, I can just simply go under water with my eyes closed and snap away and I can admire the pictures once I'm out of the water!! Cool huh? Kekeke.

One more thing, I dont have to worry about dropping my camera into the water or from anywhere I'm standing. Why? Because its water proof and shock proof. Amazing.

This lil gadget is awesome in so many ways. Its water proof (you can snappity snap pictures as far as 3meters under water for about an hour!!), temperature proof (it can survive really harsh weather conditions), dust proof (your pictures will spotless regardless of the environment you are in. Think haze, etc), and shock proof (You are allowed to drop your camera at the height of 1.5meters). These features are just making me drool and want it more!!

The function of the camera develops beautiful images even in low light, creates a more natural and vibrant images, and more importantly a more realistic pictures with superb contrast. The best part is, it comes in so many different colours that suits your style.

No prizes for guessing which one I have my eye on. Duh...PINK!!!!!!
