Tarak Ridge - 4/20

My first ever major climb...and I frakkin survived!! All I have to say is never underestimate a mountain.

The only hike I have ever done in my life is Mt. Pinatubo, it was a 2 hour hike going to the crater and another 2 hours going back. It was definitely hard, since you had to traverse in sand like terrain which made walking really hard (it's hard to walk in the dessert, imagine your feet sinking into the sand with every step you take).

But just like every hike, reaching the summit was as rewarding as getting your very first medal in school. I had cuts and bruises all over because I was wearing the wrong hiking clothes and I had cramps on the way. I'm no mountaineer but I'd really like to climb another one soon.

Here are some of the photos from the trip. Ofcourse, each hike is super special if you do it with your friends :)

(sorry couldn't upload high res photos since they took forever to upload ;) )

Here's to more summit assaults!!

MALASIMBO 2013

Some photos from an insane weekend. I'm not pretty sure if I will visit the festival next year again since it created quite a big hole in my wallet. :)  But nevertheless it was fun. I had the chance to hang out with the best people on earth! There were a bunch of us who went, Germans and Filipinos. Sadly we didn't get drunk HAHA. But the music that saturday night was good enough for me.

Out with the Old, In with the New

I haven't been writing in this little old blog of mine. I have yet to read some of the posts that I have made, but I clearly remember that I had some fun ones and some posts that only talked about how insanely depressed I am.

Until now, I am still depressed and sometimes lonely. I feel that some of my friends have seen the world and I have yet to even take a glimpse of how pretty it is. 2012 was such a roller coaster ride, with surprisingly so many new friends and beautiful places that I got to visit.

6 months ago, I wasn't your typical drunk party goer (although I haven't reached a point where I can actually call myself a drunkard) these days I'm at the club at at average of twice a month, drinking and going home extremely late on weekdays and going to farflung places and cashing out all the money I have in my ATM.

Not so idealistic but, definitely more fun, fabulous, and adventurous compared to my old self 6-7 months ago.Aside from the overflowing alcohol and deafening music, the best part of 2013 was I had the chance to meet some of the best people on the planet. I have learned that friends are not measured by the years you have known each other, but by the quality of time spent with each other.

With true friends, you get that ZING! every time and you may call them wherever, whenever and all you guys do together is simply have a great time. It's just surprising that in a short amount of time, it feels like you have known them forever. I love how they can just holler at me through a phone call or a through text or through the numerous PM message boxes on facebook, and I'm there running to where the fun is. I may not have mastered the secrets to being a social butterfly and how to successfully flirt with boys, but eventually I will get there, for now I am so happy with the little group that I was able to form through the few months that I got to learn to live a little.
