3rd climb to Mt. Pulag

Settled the date for my next Pulag climb next month, on second week of August hopefully. 7 months of no climb and activities, my body is getting weak and weak, need some exercise and outdoor activities to strengthen my knee.

Still inviting people to join the climb next month, I really want to share to all my friends the beauty of this mountain. No words can explain how God created the wonderful things in this world. Truly our God is an amazing God.

"Psalms 65:6 - By your strength you established the mountains; you are girded with might."

"What Decade Fits Your Personality Best?" from Facebook

You are strong and determined and have what it takes to get through life's storms. You are very helpful to those around you-- be it your friends, your family, or even a neighbor in need. You are a great leader and strong-willed person, and take challenges as a way to better yourself...But you also have a deep sense of warmth and nurturing for those you care about. You are well-rounded and tough because you have to be. You aren't a "diva" but rather a humble person with admirable character. With more hard-working, quality like you, this world would be a much better place. By being able to turn a little into a lot, you know how to make life enjoyable even if it's just through the little things..

Stressed!

Been lack of sleep for a couple of nights, cause of this insomnia, wanted to sleep earlier but... rest....

A friend in NEED is a friend in DEED!

"A friend in need is a friend in deed." A phrase means a person who shows care or an action to the person who needs a hand is your true friend, not just in words but also in action.

Sometimes we just don't realize how apathetic we are to the person who needs a help, we know what the person needs but often we just ignore and show no concern. One thing that really matters is that it really affects friendship.

A friend for a couple of years but still lack of something that even I myself do not know, may be intimate relationship or something else... But the good news is that there is still someone who'll respond in your time of despair, the one you called "Childhood Friend." Can't even realize that the one you didn't expected will be the one to help you in those times.

My 5 climbs of 2008

Personally, 2008 was a very productive year for me. Choosing the five climbs proved to be a serious task, especially with my 2nd climb to Mt. Pulag, It was again an accomplishment; A whirlwind climb up to Mt. Cabuyao and Mt. Sto Thomas in Baguio City, and a traverse of Mt. Pico de Loro. I'm really glad that all of my climbs were memorable. Thanks to everyone who made these adventures possible, and also I really thank God for all His provision and His protection all through out my climbs.

1. Mt. Pulag: Akiki-Ambangeg. Kabayan, Benguet
(January 1-5, 2008)

I organized a Pulag trip for my classmates on the last weekend of Decembe. The very cold temperature were thawed by the majestic views that welcomed us on the summit.

2. Mt. Pulag: Akiki-Akiki. Kabayan, Benguet
(October 19-23, 2008)

My most difficult climb took a couple of days including the travel time from Manila. The arduous, three-day trek just to reach the summit demanded so much physical and mental energy from me especially since the climb was a solo expedition. Also had a hard time heading back to the ranger station when a sudden pain attacked both my left and right knee, took me a couple of hours to get back to the station, but still this was one of my successful climb.

3. My. Pico de Loro: Maragondon, Cavite
(November 8, 2008)

At the height of summer, the wide, rocky trails from Ternate was a very cool experience. The summit views entire Cavite and also the wonderful view of South China Sea. Although the succeeding part was very difficult, because of a steep assult, I pushed well into it. At least the sight of all the islands and seas made it all worth it.

4. Mt. Cabuyao + Mt. Sto Thomas: Tuba, Benguet
(November 21, 2008)

Mt. Cabuyao, Mt. Sto thomas and me at last, to be on the highest point of Baguio City was another great achievement. The trail was establish and lots of locals to be ask for infos. The winds here are chilling and cold. A really great place if you want to be alone and spend time for yourself.

5. Mt. Samat: Pilar, Bataan
(November 28, 2008)

The historical value of this trek could not be underestimated, I wasted time on checking this out, accompanied by my guide Kuya Fred. Up for a cultural, visual, and adventurous reward. Saw the marker that commemorates the death and Shrine of Valor of the Filipino and American Soldiers who fought against the invasion of the Japanese. The land where the Filipino and American soldiers united as one for the freedom of our country.

Blink of an Eye

How to speak with someone you don't even know that suddenly being with you in a blink of an eye? Holding you like something that's been controlled of, and because of that , you yourself has nothing to do but to follow your mind that's being controlled by. Don't know how to escape such thing which had been done by someone unreal.

The Hope

Covered by darkness in the middle of nowhere, can't see anything but... suddenly, a single light shine upon the path that leads the way back to safety. Not even darkness could conquer the light, but still they keep on moving and finding ways to lead us to the wrong terrain but, one thing for sure is that they failed to do so, because nothing can stop the light in bringing us to our home.

Lakbayan Grade

Updated my "LAKBAYAN" grade, so disappointed still got a low grade of "C-". But someday all the black mark on the map will be filled with yellow :D

The Silent Mountain

Does it really exist? Even technology doesn't exist here, just don't even try. Center of the world?. Unexplored dimension, where no body could stand or survive here called The Silent Mountain. Just don't even try cause no body knows what will happen when you get there. Unexplored... Silent... You'll just vanish... a waste...

Will I Ever See You?

Will I ever see you in the rain? Always finding you in the deeper part of it, but failed to do so... still. Please tell me how, how will I... just to see you face to face is more than enough for me. When is the right time? Please... can't you see what I'm feeling right now? If you only knew what's behind of this cage, then your mind will be free. Don't you know that I am waiting? How long tell me... days? months? just let me know that It won't be forever, cause I don't know if I can hold on still, please... You don't even care how I feel.. do you? I'm sure you don't, cause there's nothing I can do anymore, you are there and I am here. It is really impossible to catch where you would fall, in uncountable drops where you are one of them, please tell me where you are? Tell me... Are you just gonna fall and fade away and ignore all the beautiful things that had been stored inside? Is there a way? because I'm still waiting for you... to catch you... to see you... to be... forever....

You Know That it is Unreal!

Being crazy and out of mind for something that, you know it is really unreal no matter what you do.

Conquered the Clouds

First, I want to thank the Lord for his comfort and protection upon me all throughout my travel to Mt. Pulag and back here in Manila. And also for all the people who prayed for me, thank you guys.

For the 2nd time to conquered Mt. Pulag was truly an amazing experience, to be on the highest place in Luzon, watching the sun rising, and with the sea of clouds just a meter away from me. Truly God is an amazing God, His wonderful creations are indescribable.

Leaving

I'm leaving... Please pray for me... Lord, please protect me with your most precious blood as I travel.

They will be...

Do you really have what it takes of where you are right now? Almost in the waves of my mind, I lose on tracking it myself, and everything smiling at him doesn't make any sense, just walk by continuously ignoring all those precious things around. You know what I mean? Do you? My heart is weak but because of it, it makes me more important than the usual I know.

If anyone out there got lost, just look behind and I'll be your guide if you just believe. Don't let fear overcome because the light is in front and they'll lead you on the way where you wanted to be. And they know you more than you know them, they understands you. They will be the one to shine the road you are walking through.

Trust them... I believe...

Just Forget

Don't you ever hope that the things in your mind will ever happen... Forget It...

There's No MORE Reason to...

No more reasons to be like the way you wanted to be, after all those things that turns out to nothing. One thing to remember that it is really like that that you can't complain for your own consequence.

Unseen Nature

I've spotted a chance to let this thing passed onto him but, there's really an unseen nature that covers him. It will be a serious matter if that something holds longer and longer but It won't be forever I hope. When the day comes that they will have the chance to release themselves and vanish, to realize that they are not belong after all.

To be free and go...

Is this it?

Try to gather up all the swelling in my mind, and go to the peak of the clouds racing toward my hurts. I am always prepared even if the goal is still far, I'll continue wherever it leads me to. And as time goes by, every beat of my heart goes down, but still I believe that this isn't a dream, for I am still searching for my own light under the starry night.

I wonder what is this all about... I wonder... I...

I just want them to....

Just a moment ago, I passed through the wind with my mind, with the circle light above the clouds, and from there they move from east to west, just to confirm that I am not dreaming.

Everyday, I'm always thinking of the words that I want to tell my heart but, I don't really understand what it is. I just want to say the things I can't really handle.

We are always together that I can even feel the good weather, holding that close to my mind in a difficult situation.

I just want to look into my eyes as it turn away...

Just like always

Just like always, as I turn my head towards the sky, melted away by an unexplainable feeling. Since always been together, never thought that the space between will become bigger. But there's just one thing that remains, the reason everything keeps me walking on.

Cold

A Cold night....... I feel..

No...

I am holding a lot of time on my hands, just quietly holding them on my palm. When I recalled each of them one by one, I thought that I understand everything but, little by little they are fading away. Times when I can't find the answer, longing for something so far away, just spending my whole life repeating those things over and over again. Sometimes wanted to grab them all at once in my hand and never let them fade away, but no one ever notice to share that feeling.

Completely Different

Can't really keep something with a person you only believe. Whatever we do, nobody can stop anyone from doing something he/she desires. You can't really force a person to change the way you want to, and you will realize that you are just wasting your effort.

Sometimes, it is really good to be alone all by yourself. Maybe for me not sometimes, but always. I really don't know the reason why but it makes me feel better to be alone.

There are people who just see YOU as YOU! The reason you stand, the reason you are breathing, the reason your heart beats. and the reason.........

Mystery

Since then, there's really something mysterious about the rain. It's like an unseen force that coming from each drop that make someone feels good. There is always something in the rain....

Lying with your head flat on the ground, watching the clouds moving up in the sky is the most comfortable thing every mankind could experience. Maybe not all but majority I guess.

Just let the clouds take away the pain. Given me the chance to choose, I would choose to sit on the clouds staring down onto the world... so peace... so quiet... Just moving with the clouds all over the earth, all over the world.

Never Give Up

You've got to be careful
with the things nearest to you,
You know the closer you get to something
the tougher it is to see.

Explain to me this happiness
that you just got to experience,
or maybe you're so blessed
that you can't even remember.

That you stand here now,
that you live and breathe,
they are all miracles
just by themselves.

And I'll never take it for granted,
It is fine to say "Never give up"
and "Keep chasing your dreams."

But the more time you spend talking
the less you get done,
I'll press a handful of courage in my heart
and with its help, survive another day.

IMPOSSIBLE!

Sometimes we are so hardheaded that we keep on longing for something obviously we do not deserve. It is like your looking to the right and at the same time looking to the left, and that is merely IMPOSSIBLE! Everyone knows that its impossible. So hardheaded that we still keep on longing for something that will never ever happen.

Blessings

It is really a blessing to have someone in your life who understands what you feel or even someone to treat you special even if you are not close with each other. What's amazing is that there are some people around you who feels what you feel without even noticing them. They can read your feelings without telling them. Closer to you than your own family, that they are the one who truly knows you better.

That is even much better for someone who cares about what you feel other than someone who is always on your side but never had the time to care about. That they will say they've done their best but the truth is.... NEVER.

Since then till now, always imagining if there is someone in this world who has a personality, attitude and thinking same as mine... If there is... I hope to know and meet that person.

Innerself

What is it all about to wait for something you really don't understand. You don't even know whats ahead of all. To a place where there is nobody except yourself, the place where there is peace and all you hear is the sound of your footsteps, wind and nature. Nobody to interfere or bother. Does anyone out there really understand the true meaning of "understanding people's innerself"...? I guess nobody could, only God can really understand each and everyone's innerself.

Sonicflood Concert

Sonicflood concert yesterday at Araneta Coliseum with Harbey and his friends. The concert was excellent. They're really anointed by God. The lyrics, the music and the melody its perfect.

Genuine or Fake

Do all pastors have the same motive? Do their motive of being a pastor is to serve God, or just to use the name of God for their own sake, for them to be respected by the people? I am not saying all pastors but are they all true? or lets just say genuine?

How can we know if a pastor is true or fake? I think there is no other way than God alone to know if one pastor is genuine.

Frustrated Photographer

Do I really have a gift in Photography? What skills(abilities) am I really capable of? I always feel that I do not have a specific skill(talent) within me... or may be the problem is just within me, on the way I think about myself? I don't know. I like to do a lot of things, like photography, I really like photography, but... why do photography doesn't like me? frustrated....
