This is the 1st spot where we snorkel. My first time as well. Now i am really glad man are land animals. Yes i love the sea but just on the surface and not whats deep inside where ya get to see its freakish little side. Its filled with fishes, paddlepop-look-alike fish, aquarium fishes and other fishes that look like those that are sold in supermarkets. I still prefer fishes in filet o fish or wrapped nicely in clingwrap on display. I couldn help it but people are feeding them with stale bread, and bread and fish simply reminds me of filet o fish. This is how sucessful mac is, instillin all this deep into our minds.

I thought fishes are bad enough, until i saw the oysters. Disgustin barnacles like shell embedded into the rocks. Yucks. Couldn believe they are actually the same thing served in classy restaurant where people pay for it.

And then there is the shit like sea cucumber. Shit is not just bananas, shit is sea cucumber. B-A-NAN-A-S. *Just listen carefully to the lyrics of hollaback girl by stefani gwen.* The sea cucumbers lie motionless on the seabed. And the seabed look like a wreak too after all the corals die. Ok some corals look like lingzhi but still i couldn bring myself to touch any of them, soft or otherwise. I had tried to picture them just as plants, each consist of cells, nuclei, mitochondra and all but still i just couldnt. I guess man stay on land for a purpose.
