Mt. Pulag and Back
Sunday, May 7th, 2006Thanks to my company’s over zealous security policies I have not visited my friendster account for ages until now.
A number of things have happened since…proclamation of state of emergency by the president…brokeback mountain…zsazsa zaturnah…and just recently the demise of encantadia.
My evaughl friends, Philippine Chapter, went to Hong Kong and Macau for the Holy Week. It was loads of fun adventure wise but a major disappointment shopping wise. There was no sale! We had the most gracious and generous host in Macau. Although, he and his wife are totally clueless with regards to our alternative lifestyle. Or are they really? We’ll have to ask the next time we visit.
The gays are planning on going to Singapore early/mid July. Unfortunately I won’t be able to join. I am hoping I’d be in the sunshine state by then.
Who would have thought that I would actually go on mountain climbing? I am proud to announce that I conquered Mt. Pulag, the highest mountain peak in Luzon, second only to Mt. Apo in the Philippines, without any adverse effect on my skin.
I learned/gained a lot from that climb. One, I should pack light. As usual I brought tons of clothes thinking its best I have choices. So I ended up cursing all the way up and seriously considered throwing some of my clothes along the way. Two, wet ones are the best! They made the whole experience more bearable for me. Three, moisturize and keep your self hydrated. You can never have too much moisturizer and sunblock on. Last, I gained tons of friends.
I am looking forward to my next climb.
