“ e v e r y thing s ta r ts w ith a dre a m”
why did i make dolphins Last Month...well, late last month, I went to Oslob for one of the most amazing experience in my life. When I was a kid I already experienced seeing marine animals but this took it to the next level. When I went to Oslob [cebu], I was able to swim with some whale sharks. But before I actually swam with the whale sharks, I was able to watch some dolphins during the sunrise and I thought to myself, “dolphins are such amazing creatures, I want to make them!”. TAKE NOTE! in placing the telephone wire to the body, make sure the wire is 2x longer. tape both ends together and make sure it forms a THIN OVAL not a circle
