Exhilarating.
My love for the mountains started with Mt. Batulao four years ago. From then, I had climbed a few mountains and it had always brought me more urge to climb more mountains. Others find it weird that some people choose this hobby that get them tired, dirty, wet, at times, injured and wounded. Reaching the summit brings a great amount of joy and satisfaction. Every time I look back to my climbing experiences, it's really not the reaching the summit that's makes me excited-- it was how I got to reach the summit, surpassing all the obstacles, the steep path, the slippery, sandy sometimes muddy path, how I had found ways, the strength to stand against the strong winds, the grip in holding onto that rope as the only hope to get to the other side.-- --- truly, it's the climb :)

If I can conquer a mountain, I feel like I can also conquer this adventure called life.
wow mt batulao!!!! huling akyat ko eh college pa yata hahahaha
ReplyDeleteoh ano pang hinihintay? climb na ulit! hihihihihi
DeleteButi natuloy ka rin. :D
ReplyDeletekung makati ang paa ko, mas makati ang paa ng kasama ko nung Sunday.. haha.. dapat cancelled na yan kasi nga andami kong school stuff to do, pero nag insist sya and she needs to getaway. Eh ikaw, kelan ka aakyat? hehehe... Next time, sana kayo naman ang mga kasama ko :)
DeleteI cant have that as a hobby haha masyado akong tamad for that, but I envy pictures of friends posting their climb, ang ganda lang hehe
ReplyDeleteyou wouldnt know until you give it a try :) haha... marami namang mga bundok na pwedeng for fun climb lang. it's a great experience. Hope you could give it a try... After mag climb, sarap magpa-spa... hehe
DeleteI am generally lazy pero game din ako sa ganyan. I think we should be more often visiting forests and climbing mountains now. With all the abuses people do with the environment, landslides and all other environmental sh*t, you never know baka bukas wala nang gubat o bundok di ba? Hehehe... overthinking lang ako.
ReplyDeleteNice photo din. Parang nakaka-relax ng nerves kapag nandiyan. Why drown yourself with alcohol or food to escape from stress when you can actually escape to this beautiful paradise?
Alam ko sa Laguna maraming pwedeng akyatan na bundok :) G kba pg natuloy ka thid dec?! Hehehe.. Pupuntahan talaga kita! Lols!
DeleteI was really thankful for my friend kasi nipush nya to.. Pero eto ngayon, im sick dahil sa sobrang pagod and tension from all over :(
Naalala ko tuloy na tinanong mo noon kung saan ako sa laguna. Natakot ako kasi baka nga puntahan mo ako, eh naka stealth mode pa man din ako, mabuking mo pa ako. hahaha! Seriously, medyo kinabahan ako noon. hahahaha!
DeleteLol! Andali ko kayang kausap :P hahaha.. Eh dahil isa ka sa mga idols ko dito sa blog world, aba di ko palalampasin ang chance na magpa otograp sau! Haha
Deleteikaw na talaga ang pusang gala cher Kat hihihi.
ReplyDeletebigla tuloy pumasok sa isip ko yung song na The Climb ni Miley Cyrus :D
Uy!!!! lss? Hahaha.. Kung gano ka ka-chill jan sa lungga mo, ganun naman ako karestless :P ahihihi.... Every now and then, kelangan mag unplug at kumonekta sa nature.... :)

Deletei just tried climbing (again) two weeks ago. and as always, masaya at nakakahingal siya. pero stress reliever talaga lalo na when you arrive on the top and you can see the world beyond...it's always so peaceful at parang ayaw mo na bumalik sa baba. XD
ReplyDeleteMas mahirap ang bumaba para sakin.. Hehe.. And good job to us.. Reconnecting with nature and all :) more mountains to explore!
DeleteAng ganda! ito na ba ang matatawag mong mother mountain mo? Nakakainggit!
ReplyDeleteHmm.. Mother Mountain? Would that mean, the mountain where I started and would keep coming back? If thats what it is, yhen yes, this is my mother mountain :) climb na! Pero make sure na the following day is for rest. Lols. I got sick after kasi di nakapag rest nang maayos.... Hehehe

DeleteBeautiful shot you got there. I am not particularly fond of climbing mountains, though I've climbed several already. But you are right, the bliss one's get from reaching the top, is a feeling like no other.
ReplyDeleteI grew up in the province and has a taste of climbing a bundok but not even reaching the summit. Well, di naman kasi yun ang purpose namin whey we did climb. We climbed because we wanted to see the "mangyan tribe" residing sa paanan ng bundok, though not the peak yet, Pero, I never had the chance to plan out to climb one on an intentional basis. I hope one day I still can hehe.
