The future is not set

Today I hung out didn’t do much except hang around Alona Beach. I went to Trendi’s (bar, internet cafe) with Daniel and Mae because they wanted to go on the internet (30 pesos/hour). It was very hot walking back from Trendi’s so I decided to take a swim on the beach. It was refreshing and felt nice drying off in the hot sun.

After cooling off, I went to Coco Vida to go on the internet more and try to plan out what I’m going to do for the next few months. In particular, planning for the PADI Instructor Development Course (IDC), Japan, and when I will need to rent a house. I checked for the best prices for the IDC and required materials. I spent a good amount of time trying to figure out what I need for the required materials--lots of books, some of which I already have, but in the US. It’s okay though because I can probably find someone to borrow them from.

Since the IDC is going to be held in another town, Puerto Galera, I also needed to plan out how to economically schedule when I’m going to go to Japan, move out of Genesis, rent a house, and travel to Puerto Galera. I’m planning on staying in Puerto Galera at least three weeks so I can have enough time studying. However, I might spend several weeks more as an intern if I pass the Instructor Exam (IE). That would mean I might be away from Alona for about a month. Though by this time I will already be renting a house and possibly motorbike for a month where I wouldn’t use them; what a waste. At least rent will be relatively inexpensive compared to if I was renting a place in Los Angeles.

Eh, I hate planning things out.
