Fishing
with Palauan Chiba Shiro. I caught a white snapper. We are with band
member Wilson Prima and carpenter Romy Soriano. In the middle of our
fishing, Wilson threw up all he ate (fried rice, etc.) because of rocky
waves. After that, it serves as bait to the fishes and we caught a lot
especially groupers (lapu-lapu).

"Desperado" by Eagles and requested me to lower the pitch by 1 step. At
