Conquered Mt. Pulag
Natupad din ang matagal kong pinapangarap, ang maakyat ang Mt. Pulag. Highest peek of Luzon rising 2,922 meters above sea level. Wah! Here also registered ang coldest part of the Philippines. It records as low at negative degree celcius.
Together with my schoolmate and friends, we climb Mt. Pulag namely: Apol, Ian, Rhanz, Babes, Binx, Jessie, Edwin, Ross, Chippy, Ethan and Sam with OA's Mike and Marky, MFPI's Chris and Ren
Mt. Pulag is considered the 2nd highest mountain in the Philippines, next to Mt. Apo of Mindanao with only a few meters difference. It is considered as one of the most beautiful National Parks in the Cordillera Area. Mt. Pulag is typically different from the rainforest mountains in the Philippines because of its open area (no trees mountain). It also has its distinct characteristics of changing color on different occasions and season. During the dry season, Mt. Pulag is brown similar to the chocolate Hills of Bohol. During the Rainy Monsoon season, it will vary from light green to rich dark green rolling plains, almost similar to a well maintained golf course. Local People believed that is was, and is a play ground of the gods.
Nahahati ng 3 probinsya ang Mt. Pulag namely Ifugao, Nueva Vizcaya and Benguet.
We scheduled the climb last Septeber 1, 2007. Following the itinerary, we arrive 5:30AM at Baguio via Victory Liner. In the city, we took our breakfast and prepared all our things for the trek. We've ride a jeep going to Bocod, Benguet. We've seen the fascinating Ambuklao Dam. Grabe!
Before tumuloy ng akyat, nag seminar muna kami sa DENR, Ambangeg. Dun palang ulan at lamig na ang naghahalo. We've transfered to another jeep. This time, 4x4 na to endure rough terrain going to Ranger Station.
Finally, after roller coster ride, murmuring of prayers and instense nervousness, we finally arrived at Ranger station. Mike briefed us of what we expect on the Camp and the summit, the trail and the weather. We've started trekking at 2PM after our lunch.
Mahabang lakad at akyat. Ofcourse, nakakalibang kasi malamig at maganda ang tanawin. We've passed Camp 1 then pitch our tents at Camp 2.
Dito na. Kasabay ng lamig at ulan while putting up our tents, inabot na ko ng mala-hypothermiang feeling. Sobra, chill-out talaga, to the extent na namanhid na mga daliri ko sa paa at kamay. By night, we decided na sa Kubo nalang kami magpalipas ng gabi. Gin and Matador helped us fight the antagonizing freeze. Below 10 degrees celcius na raw yun. Wah! Grabe. Sa huli, kami nalang nina Arian and Rhanz ang naiwang gising, sa balitaktakang computer warranty ang dahilan...hay, hanggang sa taas, trabaho parin...Hehehehe.
After a chilling night, we woke up at 6Am, we continued the trek to the summit. Ang sabi, if you've taken pictures without the endemic dwarf bamboos (Yushania niitakayamensis) and Benguet Pines (Pinus insularis), di maniniwalang nag Mt. Pulag ka so we made sure, may souvenier pics kami with that. Sayang, wala nga lang kaming na-encounter na Cloud Rat.
The summit. Thrilling and breath taking talaga. Kahit madalang magpakita araw, overwhelmed parin kami. Finally, we've landed sa highest poing of Luzon. After several picture shots, we descent back to Camp 2. There, we took up our breakfast. By 10am, we've started to descent back to Ranger station. This time, pabilisan na ang balik.
May mga mabilis nakarating, may mga relax lang lumakad, at may mga pinahaba ang lakad...hahahahah!
We've took our lunch sa Ranger station. By the way, all the foods served were prapared by Mikes group, with Marky (Chippy's apple of the eyes) as the chief cook. Swabe ang food. Teriaky, Nilagang Baboy, sushi rolls, bacon and egg with soup (Don't know the number...hahahahah), asado and the best....Buttered Veggies.
Sabi nga, babalik ka parin sa pinanggalingan mo. So we headed back to Baguio, enduring same rough agonizing terrain to Ambangeg.
We've also sited the MFPI and ASMSI project, "Bring books to the Boondocks" were the group in cooperation with the Asian Foundation distributed books for the indigenous brothers and sisters of the Cordilleras.
After arriving at Baguio City, some of us decided to head back then to Manila, some took time to experience night life at Baguio were we enjoy the BEST BAR at Nevada Square... hahahah, thanks Ethan. and some, enjoyed the city till next day.

Patay na si Nico, buhay pa si Mica
Parang napagbuhusan ako ng luha mula sa langit kagabi. Sumabay pang may sakit ako. Ilang araw palang, maliksi pa siya, pagkatapos..........
Iniwan na nya ako! Wahhhhhhh! Nico! bakit?
Sa kabila ng nangyari kay Nico, di iniwan ng kapatid nitong si Nica ang labi ni Nico hanggang datnan ng ama ko. Nilalambing parin nito kahit wala na! Di rin agad inalis ng ama ko ang labi ni Nico, upang hintayin ako, at hayaan ko munang bigyang pugay ang namayapa!
Lumong lumo ako ng makita kong nag aking si Nico ay wala na! Sayang!
Pinurga ko sila kagabi, malaki na masyado ang tyan ni Nico at nahihirapan ng kumilos habang napakaliksi ni Nica. Sa di ko inaasahang pagkakataon, di na pala aabot ng kinabukasan ang mahal kong si Nico...
Oh Nico, oh! cute na TUTA ko! Wah! bakit mo agad kami iniwan? Bakit ayaw mo nang mag gatas at mag dog food, sa halip, kanin ang sabaw lang! Kakahinayang, Cute pa na mana ang TUTA kong ito.
Di bale, buhay pa naman ang napaka sigla ng TUTA kong isa, si Nica, na kapatid ni Nico na bigay pareho ni Philip Jalea. Hay! alagang alaga ko pa naman ang mga ito!
Ni si Mina, o si Sam, ayaw ng tingnan ang labi ni Nico! Manghihina lang daw sila!

It was their 1st time at Mt. Maculot
Mt. Maculot, here I come again!
A week before June 16, 2007, madaming nag backout para sa hiking schedule na to...Hay! ewan ko nalang pero I told them na itutuloy ko ito. Wala nang atrasan. Hehehe! nadala ko ata sila.
Saturday came (June 16, 2007). Finally, natuloy narin.
Manels participants,mga first timers na officemates ko: Loisa Marasigan, Tina Saniego, Eloi Lorenzo, Maryl Aquino with her sister Joy, Bill Plaza, Cynthia of Audit and his boyfriend, Kriz Cardenas, Jenny Chua and former officemates Ferdie of GS and Rucel of E100.
Ofcourse, with the veterans, SMS Alumni Group: Me, Ross Cosio, Binx Jetajobe, Sam, Babes with Randy and my friend, Jhun Addao.
We all met at the Bus station located at Buendia corner Taft Ave. Hmm, late pa nga kami. 3pm na kami nakaalis! We arrive sa Cuenca at 5:30pm kaya nag rent na kami ng jeep to transfer us sa jump off ng Mt. Maculot. We started trekking at 6:30pm. Though hirap ang mga first timer, they did gave their best para maabot ang camp site. They really excerted great effort to fulfill their dream, reaching Mt. Maculots camp, meeting their expectation of what the its beauty awaits them.
At 8:30pm, all participants reached the campsite. Some pitched their tents while some rested. We had cooked our food, fix their things and most important syempre, ang "SOCIAL", we enjoyed so much each other while drinking brandy. (Lupit talaga ni Mamatadorrr!!...Grrr!)
Most of us took their rest while the KULITIW's na di makatulog, abay nangulit na lamang...(Ito na nga siguro ang epekto ni TADOR...hehehe). Di ko lang alam kung naaliw sila sa mga awit naming:
- Hindi kita malilimutan
- My way
- Ugoy ng duyan
...at kung ano ano pang nakakaantig na awit... si Ate Loisa nga, di namin alam kung tumatawang tulog o tulog na tumatawa..ah! ewan ko ba. 3am na kami nakatulog....pagod!
Pagkagising ng umaga, pinuntahan agad namin ang ROCKIES, the forever champion sa sceneries. At di ako binigo ng pagpopromote nito sa mga Manels officemates ko. Really, na impress sila. Iba talaga ang nature. At nakisama pa ang panahon. Galing!
10:30am kami nag trek pababa at dumaan sa bahay ng kaibigan namins si Kuya Apol. Kahit wala sya don, inasikaso kami ng kanyang nanay.
Hay! na-enjoy talaga nila........................ Yun nga lang, masakit ang mga katawan nila! Hehehe!
Uyet uyet!

My 1ST FSDI Encashment
Eager to reap the fruit of my waiting, I decided to to ENCASH my earned FS Daily Interest to my existing Equitable PCI ATM account affiliated to VISA Electron last Thursday, June 14, 2007. I wired transfered US$45 only then rolled over the rest to my existing SIP account (My TOTAL investment) for my FSDI to further grow. On June 16, 2007, Saturday, I've checked online my EPCI account at www.fastnet.com.ph. I've received my first FS DAILY INTEREST right on my ATM account. A No-book Cash Deposit worth Php 1932. Equivalent to US$45 less US$3. Not bad.
So happy to know that FRANCSWISS.BIZ really works. I did another wire transfer that day worth US$53. I'm excited to check it again this coming Tuesday, June 19, 2007 and planning to transfer another my accumulated FSDI on Friday, June 22, 2007.

US$180 and keep on earning...thanks Francswiss
This evening, I've checked my Account at francswiss.biz, to found out that after 4 days, I've earned US$180 already. Since I don't have an internation Mastercard ATM, I've rolled out it instead to my SIP account. Got US$ 1180 total for my Investment.
Hopefully, I could apply my BDO Mastercard ATM on Friday. Still here at Olongapo!
What the heck of that KEY
Kakainis talaga! Di man lang sila nagbigay ng info regarding sa pagbabago ng schedule ng badminton tournament sa FTI. Ni isa sa mga players namin, di nakapag laro then malalaman mo pang counted default pala. Pano ba naman, di man lang kami na inform ahead na binago na pala ang schedule. As usual reaction, nag PROTESTA kami. Hope na may action after.
Ang di namin makakalimutan sa araw na yon, yung pagkawala ng car key ng isang boss namin. Wah! Malas kaya ako? First time ko pa naman sumabay pauwi sa car nya, nawala pa ang susi.
Hinanap na namin sa mga lugar napuntahan nya, pinaglagyan nya ng gamit, ladies dressing room, ginalugad namin ang buong sasakyan nya, ilalim nito pati mga gamit yet wala parin.
Hmm, "BAWAL ANG PORK, ANG BEANS" May memory gap na, or na MISPLACE lang ang susi.
Sa di inaasahang pagkakataon, malapit na kaming mawalan ng pag-asa, nagpakita rin sa wakas. Sa di akalaing mangyayari, napunta sa isang plastic na may mga damit...
Hmm, kailangan na siguro ng ENERVON prime! Hehehe....Peace out!
Sakabuuan, sarap maghanap....hehehehe!
