Mt. Pico de Loro

Bagamat busy ako sa bagong career ko, nagawan ko parin nang paraan upang mapuntahan ko ulit ang bundok na ito. Mahigit isang taon na ang nakakaraan nang huli kong marating ang summit nito, subalit dahil sa isang imbitasyon, inakyat kong muli ito kasama ang Team Pagong Mountaineers.

Oldest Church in the Philippines

Maraming nagtatanong, bakit puro simbahang katoliko ang nakapublish sa travel blog ko. Sagot ko naman, bilang isang taong nahihilig sa kasaysayan ng bansa, kasama ang ang simbahan dito. Tanging mga simbahan lamang ang mga lugar na hindi masyadong nawasak dahil sa giyera. Nagsilbi itong mga ospital at taguan ng mga Pilipino noong unang panahon. Para hindi na nga akong nagdidiscus, please click here for more photos: Old Churches in the Philippines

Mt. Damas Traverse Circuit

Minor man daw sa paningin dahil sa taas ng bundok na ito, major naman pagdating sa difficulty. Nag-iisa lamang ito sa Pilipinas at Tarlac lang ang meron. Napagdaanan namin ang river crossing, steep trail, gasgas ng mga talahib, rope segments, bouldering at kung anu-ano pa. Naging masaya kami dito, kaya kayo check more photos here: TravellingCup

Camiling Parish Church

Isa nanaman lumang istruktura ang aking nakita habang kumakain. Ito ang St. Michael the Archangel Parish Church sa Camiling, Tarlac. Naiwan nalang ang harapang bahagi ng simbahan dahil sa isang sunod nuong 1997. Pero sa ngayon, ang lumang simbahang ito ay ginagawang isang museyo. More photos here: TravellingCup

Mt. Banahaw

Mt. Banahaw is said to be the Holy Mountain located in the province of Quezon. This time, it's a different concept in climbing this mountain, we had an amazing experience in doing our Tree Planting event held in this mountain. We actually encountered Habagat and typhoon Maring while doing our event, so it added an extra spice to our journey, read our story here: TravellingCup at Mt. Banahaw Thanks to Cheng for the gorgeous photo above.

For The Road

Pagkatapos ng mahirap na pinagdaanan sa Mt. Halcon, it's time for a huge celebration. As in huge pizza lang ang katapat. Sa 27 participants, walo lang po kaming umatend ng post climb. Pero sabi nila kelangan daw may part 2 pa, pero sana hindi kami busy.

The Ruins

One of the most gorgeous structure that I visited so far. It's really amazing! Going to this place wasn't easy, but I enjoyed it a lot, for my story, click here: TravellingCup at The Ruins

Pag-gulong sa Mt. Halcon

Sa aking pag-akyat sa iba't-ibang bundok, tanging sa Mt. Tarak lang ako nadulas, as in dulas lang yun huh, pero dito sa Mt. Halcon, ilang beses ako nadulas at gumulong nang ilang ikot, at pag-bagsak ko ay nasa ibabaw ang paa ko. Tapos nadulas pako sa sa Dulangan River na kung saan may 1cm akong malalim na sugat, at ako'y duguan. Basahin nyo nalang ang estorya namin dito: Mt. Halcon by TravellingCup

Gusto ko lang batiin at pasalamatan ang Batang Hamog Mountaineers.

Kettle Korn: Poppin’ Fun All The Time!

Since I was a child, I already dreamed of becoming a movie star or a stage performer.  If you’ll going to ask to the new generation today, I think they would answer it the same.  Reaching that dream is not easy as eating peanuts, so, first thing I did to reach that dream is through auditions.  From huge reality TV shows of different local TV networks up to an online host positions were just some of my hardworks in reaching my dreams.  But still, that dream is still unreachable, no positive results.  There was a time that I want to become a film director, I want to create my own film in my own stories, and because I thought that will be the beginning of my dream.  But due to financial problems, that dream is still a dream. 

In dreaming, we need an inspiration, so what I did was: I watched a lot of movies on TV and in cinemas.  Different stories, different plots and different people, I am hoping that those movies will teach me on how to act properly in front of the camera.  In watching movies, I needed a food that could be part of the happiness I feel in every movie, hat’s Kettle Korn can offer.  It will be your friend when you’re alone and it will be the food of your hungry stomach.  Kettle Korn served as my friend, and even yours!

But, here’s I want to share, if I will be going to star in my own movie, I want a type of a movie that will inspire the other people, the movie that would tickle the heart of the audience.  The scene that based on the reality, like for example: there’s a poor young boy living with his five siblings and his parents, in the poor province.  In his young age, he dreamed in travelling the Philippines then discover the hidden wealth and writing the historical background of different sites.  Because of his courage, after finishing his college as a scholar, he went to Manila alone and searched for a job that fit his qualifications.  After five years of working in a call center, he begun doing a travel blog about his previous trips and when he received a positive response from the readers, he tried to travel to some places for the sake of his blog until he became a travel addict.  By the way, I think I am just giving my own story.  But, I that’s the plot I want in a movie.  From an ordinary boy going to a successful person.

Ilocos Sur and Norte Escapade

Ito ang pinaka hagard kong byahe sa buong buhay ko.  Ito ang pinaka malayo kong byahe sa kalsada, wala pang tulog, walang seryosong kain, lahat challenge, pero sobrang saya, read our story, click here: Ilocos Sur and Norte

Mt. Guiting-guiting Traverse

This mountain is said to be the hardest mountain in the Philippines, so being in the group who planned to conquer this mountain, I felt pressured, but when I saw the gorgeous mountain, I said, I will do my best for this climb.  Read our journey, click here: Mt. Guiting-guiting Reverse-Traverse

Damo at Horayzon

Nakakatuwang isiping habang tumatagal ako sa aking pagBlog, mas lalong gumaganda ang aking mga larawan, diba? Kagaya nalang nito kuha ko sa Mt. Marami sa Batangas.  Gamit ko lang ay isang digital camera at hindi ko nilagyan ng kung anek-anek na effects para mag mukhang sosyal.   Alam kong agains the light ang pagkakakuha ko nito, pero bonga parin sya, davah?? Siguro kelangan ko na ngang bumili ng mga pangmayamang camera, yung tipong megang 1 meter and lente, para kita pati mga pores ng mga dahon ng damo.

Habang kinukunan ko ang picture na ito ay nanginginig ang kamay ko, kasi naman wala pakong kain ng mga panahong yan.  Sinabayan pa ng bonga at walang katapusang init ng aking katawan dahil sa init nang sikat ng araw.  Pero lahat po iyun tiniis naming lahat para lang maabot namin ang aming hangaring maabot ang tuktok ng Mt. Gulugod Baboy.

Today, nagpaplano kaming mamigay ng mga tsinelas at mga gamit sa paaralan para sa mga bata ng North Uyao, Oriental Mindoro.  Sabi kasi ng tita ko dun, halos wala daw pambili mga tao sa area na yun, pero gusto parin nilang mag-aral, kaya tutulungan namin sila.  Kayo, baka gusto nyong tumulong email nyo lang kami sa mytravellingcup@gmail.com and lamyerda.group@gmail.com

Mt. Marami

Isang magandang araw po sa inyong lahat, alam kong mas maganda parin ako sa araw na ito pero gusto ko lang i promote itong travel blog post ko.  Gusto ko lang ishare to sa inyo dahil wala lang, may maipost lang ako, namimiss ko na kasing magpost dito sa personal blog ko e.  Pero wag kayong mag-alala, nasa mabuti akong kalagayan sa pagkakatong  ito habang binabasa nyo ang sulat na ito.

Ang picture na nasa kaliwa ay kuha sa Mt. Marami sa Batangas.  Ito lang naman ang ika 11^th na bundok na nahawakan ko – ay naakyat pala, medyo bastos lang diba? Pero naging masaya ang pagtahak namin sa bundok na ito. Kasama ko ang Batang Hamog Mountaineers sa pagkakatong ito, pero kulang parin kami.  Kaming mga pasikat lang ang nag-attend sa event na iyon.  Marami kaming nakilala, at marami rin kaming pinagdaanan.   Napakainit ng mga panahong iyon, pero okay lang samin, dahil nagpapaitim naman talaga ako.  Pag summer kailangan sumusunod ang balat ko sa panahon.  Kung gusto nyong basahin ang buong post ko, klik nyo lang ito oh: My Travel Guide.
