** deep down i want the best **

I'm a newbie in this ever-satisfying and always exciting underwater hobby.  I'm so lucky to have discovered scuba diving in one of the most beautiful places in the world:  Palawan, Philippines.  Since then, I've gotten my advanced certification and have been diving every week.  With my nitrox course coming up this weekend, I decided to gear up from head to ankles in Scubapro (because my booties are pink Gull hi-tops + fins are Technisub Aqua Lung Blades 2 in black with lime green detailing), thanks to Torben at Pacifica in Cebu and to my instructor Dong, whom I can perpetually count on for diving advice...

Scubapro MK20
Chrome plated marine brass * air-balanced flow via piston design * patented composite/stainless steel piston * 5-port swivel * externally adjustable intermediate pressure * thermal insulating system * nitrox compatible






Scubapro S550
Technopolymer body + components * peak performance air-balancing system * ergonomic safe-grip mouthpiece * lightweight + compact (for avid travellers lke myself!) * air-balanced linear flow valve * diver-adjustable VIVA with high-flow exhaust valve for easy inhale + exhale




Scubapro R295 Octopus 
Classic downstream valve * 1m hose for convenient alternate air source function * L + R hose attachements for flexibility * compact + lightweight *fixed VIVA for safe and uncomplicated use * ergonomic mouthpiece for less jaw fatigue

Now all I'm waiting for is my ladies' BC,  and I can't seem to decide between Scubapro's Bella or its Ladyhawk...it all boils down to what matches my pink accessories...and since the Bella is only available in the blue/black combination, perhaps I should seriously look into the latter...

It Does An Athlete Good...



The perfect breakie for the marathon runner:  A couple of "naners" to prevent the cramps, protein-packed foods (eggs - 7 grams/ounce per large egg; bread - 4 grams/slice; Nutella - 2 grams/2 tbsps.) and some complex carbos for body fuel.

Giacometti Variations on the Catwalk


"...my plan is to elongate standing Giacometti sculptures and clothe them with garments.  The idea of extending an extreme yet existing idea to its logical conclusion has been a working method for me."
~ J.B.




Standing 15 feet tall made of resin, steel and bronze, these stylish waif sculptures by John Baldessari are currently on view at his "Giacometti Variations"  exhibition at Fondazione Prada, Via Fogazzaro 36, Milan, IT
