12. Mangingisda

It was a great afternoon and we were very excited to see the sunset so we asked the group to stop the discussions for a while so that we could walk at the beach and get the chance to witness the sun's shinning rays. We were very excited to see the reddish orange color of the sky again (just like the one we saw at Naawan, what a hellish view!). And due to consistent public demand, we decided to continue the planning conference after the dinner.

And so, off we go! Walking and at the same time taking pictures not only of the scenery but also capturing the modeling talents of my colleagues. The sun's not setting yet, but i decided to take a few shots just to capture its rays. And then we continue with the journey, walking and looking for interesting things we can find on the beach. There's not much shells on the sand, few coral stones and even though i could easily walk barefoot, i still decided to wear my slippers since its nice to see traces of it on the sand.

Earlier part of the journey

Since its low tide, we were able to walk far from the shore and have pictures on stony ground (i dont know how to describe it eh!). Then Cee Jay's mind focused on those two people carrying nets and bamboo cages (picture below). I thought it would be a nice subject for my blog so i wasted no time and took a picture of them while they were still near to me. I would like to ask them their names but it looks like they mean serious business with the sea. Nevermind about their names na lang, i got a picture of them naman.

can u teach me how to catch fish like using that?


We were still busy taking pictures, making wacky gestures and pretending like starts hahaha! But then i could not take my mind of them. Are they making enough money out of that? Can they feed their entire family just by casting nets? i asked myself (Of course, how would i know?).

Still on the water, throwing nets.

The sun's beginning to show its true color but then those two mangingisda were still there on the water trying to catch some fish. I just hope they will have plenty. And i wonder, how can they catch plenty of fish, the waters too shallow. Then again, i saved the question in my mind since at that moment no one can satisfy the curiosity i have created. Many of us were too concern about the sunset.

And sun didn't failed us. Before we went back to our session hall, it made a beautiful farewell then sky covered its color with black.

the sunset!
