“The world is waiting to be discovered, explored and tasted.” – travel magazine The thing is, they don’t tell you everything or they tell you many things the way they want to tell the story. No matter how well you think you know a certain place, its people and culture from reading, watching television or…
I was surprised and disappointed to find out that Facebook Timeline erased some of my priced hiking photos when I switched to the new format. I always considered my Facebook (used to be Friendster during the pre-FB era) account as back-up hard drive to save photos and important notes just in case my memory card…
This is my first attempt to post a blog article about a stock activity and I must say that I’m pretty challenged by it. The truth is, I barely have the time to attend to my stock portfolio because of my “unusual” work schedule at the office. The moment I arrive home (at around 7PM),…
On our way to Bokod, Benguet to trek the renowned Mt Pulag peak, I was thinking how I will definitely miss the Pacquio – Mosley fight and how I was so physically underprepared for the hike. There were no signs that we will be heads on with a tropical depression! These are some lessons I learned…
Is climbing the corporate ladder difficult? Well, climbing a mountain in corporate attire is… FUN! Yesterday, July 2, 2011, me and my hiking buddies PinoyMountainbear and JuneeysJourneys trekked the peaks of Mount Palay-Palay (Pico de Loro) at Ternate, Cavite. Here are some of our pictures at the peak.
Bloggers weren’t exaggerating when they said that the trail is rocky. There was way too many boulders in Mt Tapulao! Sobrang dami! Nung paakyat, sabi ko souvenir. Pero tinapon ko din. Nakita ko na ata one year supply ng bato na dapat kong makita sa isang taon! Our ascent was painfully slow, 10 hours. Our…

suffrage is neither an obligation nor a right, it is a privilege afforded to filipinos by our constitution, today many people will vote, but not me, i hope, you will all vote not only wisely but conscientiously not only with the mind but with the heart, to choose candidates who will not only protect your rights but uphold…
We were supposed to do a traverse, but we lost the trail from the peak so we decided to take the backtrail. The mossy and thick forest is more than enough reason to take your breath away. If this is enough, you might want to explore the other side of Mount Cristobal. Its jungle is…
Christ has no body but yours, No hands, no feet on earth but yours, Yours are the eyes with which he looks Compassion on this world, Yours are the feet with which he walks to do good, Yours are the hands, with which he blesses all the world. Yours are the hands, yours are the…
Honestly, I did not quite enjoy this run. First the singlet was thick, tight and was just an ordinary white t-shirt that is not well suited for running (well, maybe for 1.5K runners the t-shirt will do, but not for 10K runners, the t-shirt was too uncomfortable). There was a pair of sunglasses in the…
There is always a good reason to go back to some place you’ve been before. It is interesting to know what has changed and what has not changed. As they say, the destination is never a place but a new way of looking at things. We left Manila exhausted because of the end-of-month obligations at…
Ran 5k on October 28, 2012 with Tess.
No modification of the point of view taken, no selection of other facts for study, no natural bent of mind even, can enable a man to escape the predestinate opinion.
(from the novel “No Country for Old Men” by Cormac McCarthy adapted to film by Joel and Ethan Coen) Llewelyn was just hunting when he stumbled upon a pile of dead men in the middle of a dessert. Everyone was dead, except one, who asked him for water. He had none and didn’t bother. He…
