Mom-Daughter First Scuba Dive

Barbie and Sue

My eldest daughter's name is Midi Barbie Hashimoto, a loving one, sincere, sweet, strong-willed, independent, awesome in her own unique ways. Though I am not her biological mom, she always makes me feel how important I am to her, and I "fancy" the same way, too. Now, she has her 10-month-old "Ken", and I could see that she is one of the most  bizarre, stunning moms I have ever known. I'm so proud of her! 

Three years ago, we went island hopping with some friends in the central part of the Philippines.  That was one of the most memorable trips I have had with Barbie. On the first few days, we were in a tiny, peacful, islet, Bantayan where we had fun tanning under the white sands with never ending walks and stories of love, work, jokes and charming gossips. I knew I was very fortunate to have found such a faithful, caring girl during my struggles, success and adventures in this world of narrow-mindedness.  

After a few days, we followed our itchy feet to another island,  Bohol where we met our friends from different walks of life. Uhmm yes, we were born perfect for each other, more than being soul mates. During the venture, only both of us could understand each other's black and blue, so we decided to stay for two days more for our "first" scuba dive. Well, that was indeed gratifying and dazzling in a way that we wanted more! Hahaha...

Here are some, which I believe worth-sharing scuba snaps with my lovely daughter.  (March 2010: Bohol, Philippines)
