That Was Helluva Ride

Golly gee, I've been on hiatus since November. But that doesn't mean nothing fun happened to me. It's the exact opposite as a matter of factly. And I've no one to thank but God for every bit of blessings He have never failed to shower me. :)

So what on Earth have I been up to for the last quarter of 2011? WARNING: This is gunna be a long one:P

November Highlights:

My first climb evaaaah!:D I

As always, I saling ket-ket again to Pops' camera club's out of town event. For this month they opted to climb Mt.Pulag. And if you're a dear friend of mine, you'd probably know how much I've been wanting to climb way back college days, if it weren't for (insert speculations here). :P 

My first climb wasn't so good although the whole experience was fun and to say unforgettable would actually be an understatement. We didn't reached the summit because it was raining hard already in camp 2;  No clearing at all, it was 13 degrees freezing cold while we tried to sleep inside our damp tent in our wet 3 layers of clothing, the wind was so hard you'd think why the fudge did you joined that climb (haha!), and for the love of all our Canons and gadgets, we just really couldn't make it to the summit with that kind of weather. But still, it was quite an experience! Like HARDCORE experience. :D

So how did our supposedly sea of clouds go? Here, just us posing for the camera hahaha! FAIL:))

DECEMBER Highlights:

Jump-started my December with another climb. This time I was with SoLe (Society of Lost Explorers). I've been bugging my friend, Alvin since late 2010 about me joining their group but this girl got busy with work and grad school and voluntarism that put my joining their several climbing invites aside. But after my first climb, it just made me crave for some more, so I bugged the poor friend again. *teehee* :))

I couldn't be happier knowing the SoLe people. They're just all simply funny and very easy to get along with. They're very friendly, no dull moments, and you just won't help yourself but laugh at their hirits. These peeps are cool. ;D

On my 2nd climb, there's still no clearing! But what the fudge I met these awesome bundok fellas. :D

After that first week, I got busy with work. We had to fix everything for the kids' Christmas party and 3rd quarter exam before we set for the Christmas vacation. The kids, oh those love of my life kiddos had so much fun during the Christmas party. :D Too bad I wasn't able to take quality videos this time, though... 

A day after the school's Christmas party, I flew off for a Cebu-Bohol trip with some college friends!:D

I can only take full advantage of the Christmas vacay and Holy week in my line of work, so during those opportune time, I'd see to it that I'd have a decent memorable vacay. And this one really made a mark. I fell in love with Bohol. It's such a beautiful place. <3

And I spent the remaining 2 days of 2011 with SoLe in Mt. Batulao. Batulao is by far my favorite mountain. It's so pretty and calming and photogenic. I love that mountain. It's a mountain I'd definitely trek again. <3

And I'm glad I spent it with SoLe 'cause those people really added spice to my life. It's like me getting exposed to new things that were non-existent in my world before. :D

There ya go!  Those were pretty much what kept me busy for the last quarter of 2011. And so far, 2012 had been really spoiling me w/ fun. Thank You God! Excited for all the upcoming climbs and travels!:D
