Have you ever gone fishing?
Last Saturday night (here) I was able to chat a bit with my family. I saw my cutie Elisse who kept on dancing with her favorite tunes, talked with my dear brother, my mom had some crying moments (she said she misses me) and dad proudly showed me his big big catch!
My dad always goes fishing, almost weekly. This time around her caught his first record of 10kls fish named Apahap. Dad told me he had another catch but his rod snapped and lost it. It's ok since they pay their catch per kilo so he spent quite a fortune that day. In that fish pond you can have the option to buy your catch or leave it there for other people who wants to take home some fresh fishes. Of course dad won't let his chance pass not bringing home this great catch, he paid Php1,500 for that fish! hahahaha that's too much! It can buy a good amount of entire groceries already for a family. He told me he was given a big discount since it was weighed for Php2,000. I'm fine with his decision, just looking at his photo with a great smile makes me smile too. I asked him to send me a photo of his catch and here it is. I saw his fish when he excitedly brought it up my room (at home) to show me on cam as we chat! He can barely lift it. This photo doesn't give full justice with the fish size, it's actually bigger if you see the fish in full length.
I miss that place where dad goes for fishing, went there several times with Elisse and one time with my husband. Maybe I should blog about it next time since I have nice photos taken there. It's a very relaxing place where you can just stay there by the nipa huts by the pond and have some picnic or w=even take a good nap. The air so fresh but expect the hot sun. You'll definitely get a tan if you spend the day there. Who cares if you can have more fun fishing, right? I had the chance to try fishing but I'll need more practice for a good swing. I know blogger Bengbeng loves fishing aside from photography since he had some fishing series posts.
Do you have any fishing experience? How do you think about this as a hobby?

Do you have any fishing experience? How do you think about this as a hobby?
Woot! Woot! FC! LOL :D
hehe you made it =P
Your dad sure is happy in the picute. 10Kilo! Wow! That is really one big catch. I have never managed to fish anything out of the water before. LOL :D
Your father fish weekly? It really love it huh! ;)
Yupe! I made it Ayie! And thanks to you. :p
You mama cried huh! I would to if I were her. After all, she raise you up. :p
since he had his bypass surgery he got so much into fishing, that way he's getting relaxed from work and it's a good stress reliever, the place is not too far from our place so it's ok.
hehe maybe fishing out girls tekkaus! ahahahaha you're a dead meat to your wifey!
I was actually surprised with mom since she's the real tough one and never really shows emotions. So don't be surprised why I seem to be so ok here being far away from my family. Mom has taught me well how to be independent and tough. Maybe coz I'm the one who talks to her much and gives her advices at times. I told her I should be happy coz it's bad for baby to be stressed and crying =)
That fish is real big.
I used to go fishing when I was a small child, but not now due to certain reason.
rainfield,
yeah it's big and heavy =)
nice to know you've done fishing before, it's good to experience that too =)
whoa! that's huge! i may try fishing with my hubby next time. :)
Huge fish! No wonder he's so proud! :)
Wow! Your Dad sure loves fishing. :)
And you must've enjoyed seeing little Elisse dancing around.:-)
sorry.. Know nothing about fishing.. =.="… hahaha.. Just know need to use cacing as feed only
I don't like fishing... sorry I am someone who can't keep stilll, so never can I fish :P. If I want to keep still, i rather sleep heeheheh!
I like fishing but long time never did it already. Miss it. Always wanted to go fishing in Open Sea but don't have the chance. Recently Malaysia getting popular with saltwater fishing in man made pond.
i have tried once in a little pond, and that's it.. all my baits were gone, and while all my mates each got their catch, i was the only one with one!! guess i'm not born to go fishing, haha :D
Thats a BIG fish Wow!!!!
LOL
:)
wow! that is one BIG fish!
goodness, that is HUGE.
I don't think I can do fishing as hobby, I don't have the patience of it. And secondly, I don't have heart to cook what I catch :*-(
That fish is massive! ;)
Cool post and I'm waiting for more about this beautiful place! I like your stories a lot!
Léia :)
That's a big catch! Your dad must be really happy. I can feel your family miss you deeply. Yeah..better don't think too much..stress is not good for the baby. Think happy thoughts ya. :)
To answer your question ganda...I don't like fishing. Never tried before actually..haha. I can't stand the hot sun. I really dont want to get tanned..hehe
Cher,
So your hubby likes fishing too? I think it's a guy thing huh! You better try and join him, for sure he'll be happy to have you around =)
Lina,
Elisse...that we enjoyed so much! She was really on the groove and me and hubs had this pasted smile on our face.
Dad's really proud coz he finally have a record!
a safe trip for you and your family!
dolly,
no fishing for you so better just stick to your new found badminton =)
ladyviral,
you're so "relaxed" hehehe
well everybody has their own sports and hobbies, just like you loving to swim...right?
Superman,
so far no open sea fishing for dad just there in a fishing area near our place. How come no more fisihing for you? maybe too busy?
SK,
then you're off to just eating fishes then! =P
you can always try next time maybe you'll have more luck =)
your dad sure looked proud n happy in that photograph!
i had went fishing once, it was slow but every time we got 1 fish, we are squeaking like crazy.
it was fun. XD
btw, how do you chat with your family? through phone? through webcam? you mentioned "seeing" elisse too.
made me curious. :p
Anya,
it's really big and I'm happy for his catch! thanks
Eng,
not only big eng but extra heavy =) he was struggling to lift it when he showed me
jessica,
i can go for fishing as a hobby but not to clean and cook it later too
leia,
ok will definitely write about it later on but for tomorrow something special's up for me to blog about
mummy sexy,
yes think happy thoughts! =)
funny that when i was home they always complain of my moody antics and now they are missing me so much! hehehe I think elisse is not enough to pacify mom...she even reminds more of me coz we have so much similarities
no sun for you? haha that's why your skin is so fair! mummy sexy so vain =) hehe
Levian,
fishing is relaxing and rewarding when you have a catch...i also feel the same when we get a pull form the reel
i chat using Yahoo Messenger and we use headset and video cam. no typing juts pure talking and seeing each other =)
I'm still busy today...the whole day and tomorrow i will be back to the doctor. You'll see me blogging away again by the end of the week most likely. In a while i will give bro in law driving lessons and still need to pick up hubs. haha what a day!
i always wanna go fishing... guess can only do it in Sibu when i go visit bengbeng :) or you in the states... you gotta teach me how to master the swing~~
wow that's a big fish!!
now that's definitely a big catch. i don't have any fishing experience but it's a treasured hobby for millions of people.
Ah yes swimming.. I guess so heeheh... sleep still is the best though... I seriously swear, I lose more weight when I sleep more :P.
Fufu,
I haven't even mastered it muself! hahaha! I don't do fishing here, there in the philippines. If you go there and we're also around then we can go to many places and eat eat eat too! hahaha
Bengbeng will be so happy if you'll visit him again. hehe
Ramblings,
It will be nice if you can try it even once, who knows you might enjoy it too! =)
Ladyviral,
sleep according to study is essential for diets and weight loss =) so by doing that, you can be on your way to a slimmer you! hahaha
what a day indeed!
it sounded fun too, at some point.
again, you made you feel like it's so cool to work from home. :p
sweet! seeing each other like they are really there.
you can see them quite often this way. :D
Oh my! The fish is so huge.
Levian,
Not that often coz everybody's busy there and it's hard to catch up with the time. It's ncie to work at home but there are pros and cons with it. Of course regular office employment has more regular income on standard basis. It still depends on what industry you are in for work at home to be really efficient.
ECL,
haha must be my dad's lucky day to have such a big catch! =)
ah true, unless only few persons are involved then the gathering would turn out to be easier.
but technology sure has made communication much cheaper n easier to achieve.
lucky for you, living away from home are much inviting this way too. :)
that is an incredible catch. it wouldnt have been easy to bring in that one. Bengbeng will b glad when Aiyie and Fufu comes to Sibu :)
Wow! That's a really big fish! I've never go fishing before! It will be a new experience for me!
Levian,
I'm just thankful with today's technology...it can truly bridge you over distances.
Bengbeng,
Now that I know too many blogger friends there in M'sia, I can feel comfy now setting plans laid out for M'sia. It's always being moved and postponed but maybe next time around we'll land there!
Foong,
Then go to Sibu and tag along with Bengbeng, he can give you fishing lessons I guess. hehe
try it even just once, it's fun and can be boring too if you won't get a catch! hehe I can't say it's all fun coz It'll be a lie.
