Status: In A Relationship

I still remember the day when a friend of mine invited me to join them with their upcoming climb and without thinking twice, I said, "sure."

November 3, 2012, after a long hours of work, we packed our things and went directly to the nearest bus station bound to Nasugbu, Batangas.

After 1-1/2 hours of travel, we arrived at our destination, the jump off of Mt. Talamitam. This is my first climb and it's a night trek.  The trail to Talamitam is easy, but it took us 3 hours to complete the trek up to the summit.

We set our tents and tried to cook foods for our dinner but sad to say, the stove didn't work out well, so, we decided to just feast with our precooked foods.

The next morning I was mesmerized with what I saw. The beautiful sunrise. I instantly fell in love.

I told to myself, I will see you again, soon.

November 23, 2012, I met her mother, Mt. Pulag.

then her Sister, Mt. Batulao on February 3, 2013

her Uncles, Mt. Manalmon and Mt. Gola on February 10, 2013.

and went to their place and tried some buwis buhay stunts.

Afte meeting her mother, sister, and uncles, her evil Uncle summoned me to visit him along with my friends. On March 10, 2013, I eventually met him, Mt. Cristobal (Devil's Mountain).

then her paternal Uncle, Mt. Isarog, on May 25, 2013

and to close the year, I met her cousin, Mt. Tagapo, on November 3, 2013.

To start the year 2014, I eventually met her curly Aunt, Mt. Maculot, on Jan 18.

After more than a year of being with HER, YES, I'M IN A RELATIONSHIP...WITH MOUNTAIN:)

A big thanks to my friends for introducing her to me, Crazy Monkey Mountaineering Society.
