my father the hero...

...has conquered land, air, various languages and firearms, and now, (under)water.

he went diving in palawan last week.

doctors always told him he couldn't because of his ear, his vertigo-ish inclinations, his "comes with the senior citizens' discount" health concerns.

but he did it--a childhood dream come true.

makes you believe your life can change, even when you're over half a century old.

(so there may be hope for me yet--to figure out the inner workings of greenbelt, or maybe, just maybe, find, if not the bliss, then more.)
