Undas Weekend at Cordillera
Mga 2 months ago, nadiskubre ko na may long weekend pala sa katapusan ng October. Ayos. Parang awit sa tenga kase ang ‘long weekend’. Ibig sabihin, mahaba-habang pahinga...

Drifting through Mt. Balagbag + Mt. Maranat
I feel so blessed to be born and raised in Rizal. It’s a 2-hour ride province from Metro Manila that has it all – falls, rivers, mountain range, caves...
Oh, napadpad ka.
Mga kung anu-anong kwento. Talambuhay. Karanasan. Opinyon. Kwentong barbero. Mga kalandian sa iba’t-ibang istorya, sining, awitin, panayam, bisyo, kabiguan at tagumpay. Maligayang pagdating!
Mga 2 months ago, nadiskubre ko na may long weekend pala sa katapusan ng October. Ayos. Parang awit sa tenga kase ang ‘long weekend’.

REAL-TIME ENTRY 10:11PM TERMINAL – Pasado alasdyes umalis ang bus. Masaya kaming nagkita-kita sa terminal. Si Drew, si Jaja, si Emjhay, si Alfred, si Erli, si Efraim and si Jerald ang mga makakasama kong aakyat sa pangatlong pinakamataas na bundok sa Pilipinas, ang Mt. Pulag. Ewan ko ba at nahilig nalang kami bigla sa pamumundok. Pang limang summit ko ang Mt Pulag. At ngayong nasa byahe kami patungong Baguio papaunta roon, sa totoo lang, puno ako kaba. Nasimula kaming magplanong akyatin ang Mt. Pulag last year. Overrated na siguro…
