Early this year, I've lost what I thought was my life but then again I managed to regain myself and discovered a lost love - my love for outdoor activities.
Back in the days, where in I would spend my summer months in my mother's hometown, I remember that the only thing I do was to bum around, enjoying mother nature at its best. Loving the terrain of the Philippines, I swore to myself that before i explore other places, I would see to it that I will explore the entire (hopefully) Philippines first.
2006. I explored Sagada province with my friends. I so loved the place. The cools breeze that damps you face is very electrifying. Views that would leave you in awe.
2007. With the same set of friends, we planned a north luzon exploration. Toured Ilocos Norte are. We visited Laoag, Pagudpod and Vigan. Was able to see the wind turbines, the vast sea of Pagudpod, the famous light tower, Marcos' shrine, the Malacanang of the North, the lovely old city of Vigan, different museums and the old churches around the area. Also, before the year ends, I was able to visit, for the first time, the prestigious shore of Boracay with another friend, Hana.
2008. One day trek at Mt. Pinatubo. We've done the long trail, it was about 2-3hours walk under the sun. After the very tiring walk on the trail came the breathtaking view of the crater. It really took away all of my tiredness.
2009. Thanks to a friend, was able to meet an outdoor group. I was introduced to the art of mountaineering and beachineering. It was a whole new thing for me.
So because of this, my passion for outdoor activities was given a new spark.
