Up up north. Palaui Island, Sta. Ana, Cagayan

clangiestower

It all started with a friend’s solo trip dream to Palaui Island… But with the clingy friends that we are, four of us went on to this adventure. Amazing Race: We booked a 6PM Florida bus trip bound for Tuguegarao(located at Kamias). It was almost 5pm when we all gathered up at Shaw Blvd. Getting a cab was a struggle at that time because it was rush hour, so after 5 mins of trying and because of time constraint, we decided to take the MRT instead. But heck! MRT was fully loaded as usual so taking it is not an option (Did I … Continue reading Up up north. Palaui Island, Sta. Ana, Cagayan

Hey there, pader!  I was stressed these past few days and I want to go up high and distress. So I invited a couple of friends to join me in a dayhike near Manila. There were a few who said they’re joining but eventually cancelled for a number of reasons. Oh well… Initially, I planned on climbing Mt. Talamitam but ended up picking Mt. Batulao just beacuse. I went up with a friend who had no choice but to join because I’m still climbing even solo.   The bus we boarded left the Coastal Mall Terminal at 730AM bound for Nasugbu, … Continue reading Mt.

Tarak Ridge: A noob’s first major climb

clangiestower

It has been years since I last went for a climb so; I considered this climb to Tarak Ridge a major one. I was only given 3 days to prepare for this climb. As a result, I ended up wearing the wrong type of shoes, didn’t use the right bag, and lacked other essentials as I have my climbing stuff at my parent’s house. Thanks to Ron for the head lamp, Joed for the trekking pole and Angel for being the master. Haha! We left Cubao at 8am and arrived at Brgy. Alas-asin past 11AM. We registered, changed clothes, and … Continue reading Tarak Ridge: A noob’s first major climb

Boracay first timers

clangiestower

It has been our (my best friend, @dawnchang and I) dream to go beaching since April but due to our volleyball games, our summer weekends were all spent on balls and not on a beach. So just right when the rainy season began, we hopped on our way to the beautiful beach of Boracay. That’s me and Dawn making faces while on the plane. Our first night was just all rest as we’ve got no sleep from work. First night was all about selfie, selfie, and selfie. And oh, we made our bed a “trampoline”. Le kids at heart. Lol! … Continue reading Boracay first timers
