I finally got a fisheye lens. It's a lensbaby optic, but I'm sure it's just as fun as it's bulkier, more expensive counterpart. 12mm vs a Peleng or Samyang 8mm... I know I'm missing something and seeing 12mm vs the 17mm-85mm is a big difference. It's an addiction and I won't be happy till I get that extra 4mm and after that, I'll have to get a full frame camera... or learn to be patient enough for my film camera.

PUERTO GALERA, ORIENTAL MINDORO, PHILIPPINES
This coastal town is well known among tourists for its numerous pocket beaches and many snorkeling and diving spots. The area was designated a Man and Biosphere Reserve of UNESCO in 1973 and has some of the most diverse coral reef diving in Asia. The marine environment has benefited in recent years from the influx of tourist dollars. This has seen a huge reduction in the number of fishermen in the area, as they gain higher revenue from tourists.
Among the famous beaches in Puerto Galera are Sabang Beach and White Beach. Both have extensive beaches with first-class or economy-class accommodations and an active night life with their numerous beach-side bars and restaurants. Sabang beach is the main destination for foreign tourists, while White Beach remains popular with local travelers. Since 2001 White beach has seen uncontrolled development. New restaurants and places to stay are rapidly encroaching on the beach itself and little remains of the once charming beach. Puerto Galera town is a pleasant but sleepy Philippine town with few attractions. It has a large central catholic church and a Pier area, with a selection of bistros and cafes.
Behind the beaches are the huge and generally unexplored mountain ranges of central Mindoro. A particular local attraction is the nine hole golf course perched on the hillside above White Beach which commands spectacular views over Puerto Galera's natural harbor and the Verde Island Passage. Mangyan tribes are scattered over the mountains sides - some of the more remote tribes have no contact with the outside world. Of the eight tribes on Mindoro, the Iraya are the largest. They are based in the Puerto Galera area.
Puerto Galera has become the top diving destination in the Philippines. Excellent diving is found less than 5 minutes from the Sabang area. The diving generally focuses around the areas either side of Escarceo Point which is famous for its current rips. Strong currents are a feature of the diving in Puerto Galera and it is good advice to employ the services of an experienced local guide or dive centre. There are upwards of thirty dive sites all within a 5-10 minute banca ride from Sabang Beach. Marine life is highly diverse. 180+ species of nudibranchs are found in the area and most species of fish can be seen A variety of wrecks have been sunk over the years in addition to the one genuine wreck of an engine of a WWII Japanese patrol boat.
Puerto Galera is also one of the main [technical diving]destinations in Asia. Technical Diving International - [TDI] has many dive centers in the area, offering the full range of TDI courses from Basic [nitrox] to advanced [trimix].

LOLA Day 83
October 28, 2014
Positive week continues. My shiny new purple steeped tea bubble cup arrived yesterday! Today I am feeling good. I am accepting that I am on this journey and that I can't just jump ahead in time and be done with all these emotions and feelings. i am trying to embrace them and the whole experience. But a good tea always helps keep me calm, and even better with a shiny new purple cup! Life is hard, but you don't need to let your emotions control you. It's a strange concept and one I have struggled to make sense of in the past. However I am starting to understand it more now. We let our emotions control us and our actions, when they don't need to.
A tough subject for me is letting go (hahah this phrase now always make me think of the movie frozen). Just letting go and instead of being the one doling out advice and help, I need to be open to accepting what others have to offer. I am open to accepting it, but I think the bigger issue is accepting it for it's face value. People love and care for me and want to help me. It's not because they feel bad for me because I am going through a tough time (well maybe that's part of it). But that they care for me, there are no expectations of payment, this isn't tradieses, they genuinely care and want to help ME. I've talked before about accepting the help others are offering. Easier said then done. I would do anything for so many of you, so why is it so hard for me to believe that you would do the same for me? We need to believe that we are all worth it. We need to treat ourselves as if we are our own best friends.
In my search for today's quotes I came across this post: tinybuddha.com/blog/you-deserve-love-including-your-own/ and it is absolutely, and exactly what i am working on right now. " Understanding who we are, that we are lovable and worthy of love allows us to love and be loved.
I urge you to learn about yourself—your past, your emotions, your reactions. Honesty is key. You have to face up to who you are, which can be very difficult. Imagine me, a confident, organized, highly functioning executive discovering my life was run on an urge to prove I’m worthy of love. That was a hard one!
But if you can deeply connect with the real you, who wants, needs, and above all deserves to be loved, a freedom lies ahead that is beautiful to behold." - Mary Snedon
Quotes for today:
*Don't let them in,
don't let them see
Be the good girl you always have to be
Conceal, don't feel,
don't let them know
Well now they know
Let it go, let it go
Can't hold it back anymore
Idina Menzel - Let It Go - Frozen
*It's funny how some distance
Makes everything seem small
And the fears that once controlled me
Can't get to me at all
Idina Menzel - Let It Go - Frozen
*“The amount of happiness that you have depends on the amount of freedom you have in your heart.” ~Thich Nhat Hanh
