April 16,2011

I woke up early morning, around 4am, hmm still sleepy. I check everything that I need to bring, i prepare myself, and when everything is done, I start to go to to our meeting place. My bag is more heavier than my previous mountain experience.

This time, we will be in big group, around 20. We dedicated this climb for those people who suffer cancer. We call this Climb Against Cancer.

We arrive in Bataan at around 11am. We prepare for our lunch. This lunch is so memorable, because everybody was eat in banana leaves, boys and girls, its look like Fiesta, hahaha. Everybody was ready to eat here.
lunch at banana leaf..my first time hahaha..do u dare to eat like that?hehehe
Pagkatapos ng masaganang kainan, we are all busy packing our things.
I am ready to go.. wait fo me Mt. Tarak..whew
1pm.
Start of our trek..
still have energy to smile..after a long walk we all tired so we take rest under this tree, we just only in 1/4 of the trail before the summit.

They said if we reach the banana river, we are near to the summit. So everytime i feel tired, i always said "pls. banana river, show up" hehehe

and finally...
we reach the banana river :)

we will be staying here to take rest and eat some food, the boys are enjoying the cold water, and me? contented seating and taking pictures around, even i want to swim, never, when i touch the water and it soooo cold. I dont take a bath when water is cold, hehehe..

After babana river, we continue our journey till we reach the summit.
this is me, trying to reach the peak, i just hold on the grass for support.

This is a major climb, and they are correct, this is different from other mountain that i climb, i feel very very tired to this climb..grabe ang hirap pong umakyat.
Finally, the summit

Dinner and socials at the summit 


After socials I sleep immediately, Im very tired.
Goodnyt mountain..

When I woke up, its a good day to take picture and look around..
the view from the top is amazing, and i enjoy it...

After picture taking, every one of use are started to pack our things, we will be going down to the mountain. I cant remember our experience when we go down to mountain, sometimes we need to slide, and sometimes we cant avoid to get hurt. One thing that make me laugh is when my co-mountaineer slide and fall like a frog style..hahaha

This climb is another adventure that I will always remember. Everybody were so funny and cooperative. We treat each other like brother and sister even we meet once or twice. Thank you everyone

See you next time :)

I inquired and once we decided, we booked.   Isla bonito - operated by Koreans diver teaching diving. the place is good for diving and snorkling. They have a gadget that you can rent, I think its 300. We didn't try,I like but I don't have underwater camera so I didn't try it. Maybe next time. Actually, they also offer diving class, and Koreans will be your teacher. This place is a good diving spot.   How to go: From buendia-lrt, we ride a bus-ceres transport going to Mabini Batangas terminal (fare-135.00pesos), then there is a jeep,just said that u will be going to talaga pier First,you need to ride a boat to reach the resort, its 45mins travel.
