Hello There! (again)

It has been months since I last updated my blog. Been really busy with work and now that I can find time, I would like to begin again this thing which I like to do the most – writing and researching with anything I have in mind. For one I would like to start my food blog series, continue my travel blog, and just write anything I like. Please bear with me as I update my blog and provide you with as much that I could provide. Again, enjoy my favorite hobby and I hope I could maintain the pacing of writing regularly. Wish me luck! Yours Truly, Hersh

Donsol back then wasn't as crowded as it is today. Back on my childhood days, Whale Sharks were feared by the locals because there are instances where their boats accidentally hits the whale sharks and so some of the boat capsizes and thus it leads to death many times not only by people but also with the whale sharks. Some locals were very frightened by the whale sharks and thus resort in killing it. There were also instances where locals hunt whale sharks and sold them to the market or sometimes they will opt to have it for their dinner. If you have been there and experienced swimming with the whale sharks, you may have seen some of them having wounds because of some boats accidentally ...
