Despite all this we're travelling fast, we're travelling faster than light. It's almost next year, it's almost last year, it's almost the year before: familiar, but we can't swear to it.

Kind of makes you look small--or can it?

OFF GUANA CAY, ABACOS ISLANDS, BAHAMAS: If ever there was a rather impressive dive spot to end all dive spots in The Bahamas, it would have to be a reef on the north side of Guana Cay in the Abacos group of the Bahamas known as "The Skyscrapers." Sitting in waters as reach 60 feet deep, with coral reaching literally to the ocean surface, one will certainly try and feel impressed by the sheer looks of such being not unlike a small city situated underwater.

Or am I getting a little too Trollkins for myself here?

Yet even with the looks of The Skyscrapers, care certainly needs to be taken in navigating. And you can never tell when a black-tipped reef shark will come along, let alone Jabberjaw ... but maybe for another time, as the Diver's Delight, the craft of the Peter Potamus Magic Divers, makes anchor off Guana Cay, the name prompting Mildew Wolf to wisecrack whether it would have been much amusing if it were named "Guano Cay." Until Peter pointed out that "guano" is another term for dung--especially such used as fertiliser.

And as I said, considering that many of the coral structures of The Skyscrapers reach to the ocean surface, care has to be taken with the approach.

And was it a dive for the books, videos even ... yet you wouldn't want to attempt an underwater game of "hide-and-go-seek" in this particular reef. Even with the Divin' Wolf Pups, who for some reason seemed attracted to some of the reef life hemmed in between rather hefty coral walls. And given just how narrow some of the passages in The Skyscrapers can get, it was understandable that Peter Potamus, considering his bulk (even for the leader of such a fascinating dive troupe), managed to crawl through one especially narrow passage ... diving on his side. And with barely an inch or so of his frame to spare, even with moray eels and black-tip reef sharks somehow seeing their share of fascination at such a sight. (Let's just hope any footage which Squiddly Diddly captured wasn't of an embarrassing sort.)

Yet then again, you can't help but wonder what can make the Bahamas so divable ... and there's some more to note here, fellow Hanna-Barberians!

FINALLY, WINTER VACATIONS!!!!!

yesterday i had the pleasure to turn off all my alarms bc i dont need to wake up early for a week and a half 💆‍♀️

i spent the afternoon during my english class just trying to update my tumblr blog (this one) (didnt work) and talking to my friend on whatsapp.

then i went to a cafe with my dad and we had brownie cups and talked about future and making money. and about our successful relatives and our unsuccessful relatives. it was a great talk! :D

also i started taking a new medicine. my doctor warned me that it could cause some anxiety symptoms on people who are already prone to have it. i just didn’t think it would be THAT MUCH ANXIETY

i was in my english class. at night. i felt like i could have a heart attack. what the fuck

i shared it with my classmates bc at first i didnt know what was causing the anxiety, i was just really really nervous and they asked me if i was gonna do something later and i wasnt so we were all like 🤨🤨

then i remembered about the medicine. and i told them and then my friend arrived and i told him and i still was feeling the fucking anxiety but at least he was there. he was late for like 3 min and i texted him “are you fucking coming” and then he got there. good.
