It's strange because she can eat shellfish (crabs, shrimp, lobster, etc.) but with fish it's like she even gets hives when the aroma's in the air, which sucks cause we're Filipino and eat fish practically twice a week. She's always yellin at me for not eating fish when I was pregnant, lol, I was more a pizza everyday girl hahaha. And, yes please PM me, I love to pick the brain of fellow journalists!! I just got started in the business (printwise) ~ but have done doing some tv reporting before that. Would love to hear more details about the mag. you work for =)

get this, im allergic to shellfish too. anything that swims.

I agree. I dive and I absolutely love it because you feel a part of your surroundings rather than just a spectator looking down on it. Plus, you have a better sense of what is going on around you (like if there are any sharks hanging around). I'm not generally too scared of sharks and I swim in the ocean often BUT this freakin' shark was supposed to be giant with massive jaws and that freaks the crap out of me! I live 15 minutes away from the attack, so that didn't help either.
