One Fine Afternoon

It's payday, and we were looking forward to our trip this coming saturday. The mountaineering group that I belong to organized a training climb in Mt. Cristobal. We will be doing the traverse, which would mean, that it is going to be a major climb. My baby's first major climb. My first without Sir Karl or Ton or Bampi around.   So we went out and ended up in The Fort to check R.O.X out. We were so excited to see the Deuter bags that they should have stocks with. Unfortunately, there are no shipments yet, and the bag that we wanted to see were so big, i might be able to fit inside.   We lucked out on the stove instead. The snow peak stoves were on sale, costing us 1K each. We bought 2 since I will be taking it back to jani. We lost his stove during the Gulugod Baboy trek and i am still feeling guilty about it.   We ate afterwards in TOSH. Trivia: Did you know that TOSH stands for The Old Spaghettu House? Wala lang. First time ko kase kumain dun and it was one of Jeff's favorites. Har har!   After realizing that we were both tired, sleepless, and that we are to come in at 8PM for our regular shift, we decided to go home. I got to sleep on the way back and he might have done the same too. So ngayon, parehong puyat and antok, but happy. First time ko ulit lumakad sa labas doing the HHWWPSSP thing.. hahahaha!   I am happy, and content. Sometimes thinking that there could be a catch and at the same time trusting that there isn't one. I have got to stop overthinking. After all, we have all the time in the world, and at the rate we are going, I really, really, and positively think that this will last.   BTW, he is scheduled to meet my mom the week after our Cristobal climb. Can't wait! :)

Makiling Traverse

Last april, me and my group, the Piknikers went to Makiling and did a traverse dayhike. It was a fun, tiring, and fulfilling trip which would either make you give up or continue with the journey. I chose the latter and as Sir Pik mentioned, it was the emotional fulfillment that would matter most.

I again overcame my fear of fatigue in the middle of nowhere, tested my patience, and my group, no, more like my family were there to support and guide me all the way. Love you guys.

Here are some of the photos as i will be adding more later:

Group shot sa bus:




A signage on our way to peak 3, i think. this was before we took our lunch break:




Hm, matarik din pala ung ibang akyatan, kaya ko to.. YOSH!






What do you know, kaya naman pala..




Yay! made it, pero wasted na. :)




A view from Makiling,


And another.




With Bampy, together with Liriox and Lanie. Mejo makipot ung daan,














Pahinga lang sandali. Mga cuties ng piknikers. :)




Group shot. Single pa ako dito :)




Isa pa habang pahinga. I think this was after the palanggana..



Malapit na daw.. the never ending 45minutes to go..





After 10 million years, narating din namen ang Agila Base. But wait, there's more! Malayo pa pala yan.. Haha!




Finally, a store.. nakapagpahinga momentarily.. Again, malayo pa to sa place na pwede mag wash up.. Pero, nakangiti na ako :)



Mga taong putik.. In fairness, mukha lang pagod, pero mukha pa din malinis.. hehe! Or maybe because katabi ko c Tonton.. :)




It was such a fun climb. Gusto ko umulit, pero wag muna ke Makiling.. I will come back, cguro pag mas malakas na ako. :)

Proud to be in a group who really cares for you. Regardless of how difficult the road to success is.

And so, I finally said the words..

Despite fear and doubt, i finally said it.   It has been a long time and this is the time I finally felt comfortable in telling someone that I love him.   Among the firsts:   First time that I will be able to celebrate a special occasion on a specific date - May 18. I cried my fear out of previous experiences. I was able to fully open my heart and got accepted as I am. I feel secure with a simple touch on the back or a kiss on the hand. I feel overwhelmed (and goosebumps sometimes) with a simple text message or a chat session.   I know this person. I love him. I am keeping a positive outlook. I am keeping my faith and putting my trust.   I am happy. The happiest I can remember.

happy :)

it's been a long time since i felt this happy. can't wait for the day that you'll be fully healed. i have avoided the "L" word since, but somehow, i know i can confidently say it a hundred times over.   lift your head baby don't be scared of the things that could go wrong along the way you'll get by with a smile u can't win at everything but u can try and baby u don't have to worry coz there ain't no need to hurry no one ever said that there's no easy way and when they're closing all their doors and they don't want u anymore this sounds funny but i'll say it anyway girl i'll stay through the bad times even if i have to fetch u everyday you'll get by with a smile u can never be too happy in this life coz in a world where everybody hates a happy ending story it's a wonder love can make the world go round but don't let it bring u down and turn ur face into a frown you'll get along with a little prayer and a song lift your head baby don't be scared of the things that could go wrong along the way you'll get by with a smile now it's time to kiss away those tears goodbye

Senti Mode - How Can I Tell Her About You

Wala lang, just felt the need to be on sentimental mode today. Maybe because i am currently listening to a playlist i created from a long time ago. Sad but true, the song tells a lot about what could have happened. Lobo: How Can I Tell Her About You She knows when I'm lonesome, she cried when I'm sad She's up in the good times, she's down in the bad Whenever I'm discouraged, she knows just what to do But girl, she doesn't know about you I can tell her my troubles, she makes them all seem right I can make up excuses not to hold her at night We can talk of tomorrow, I'll tell her things that I want to do But girl, how can I tell her about you? How can I tell her about you? Girl, please tell me what to do Everything seems right whenever I'm with you So girl, won't you tell me how to tell her about you? How can I tell her I don't miss her whenever I'm away How can I say it's you and I think of every single night and day But when is it easy telling someone we're through Ah girl, help me tell her about you
