Balagon Uphill


Balagon Uphill...

It's been almost a year since I last visited my blog (I've been very busy with some stuff)...and I can't wait to share the latest experience, well actually this was late last year. It was September 2013 when I set my foot again to my favorite spot of my home town, Sitio Balagon. It's one hour trekking (including few stops) from my house since I haven't done it for quite a while. So just a week after I arrived, I prepare my self to visit the place. Just after fifteen minutes of walking my sweat is already pouring like s**t. It was then that I realized that I really need a regular exercise. Ok, back on track, me and my buddy Rey keep walkin' (he's like five meters a head of me) and he seems like it's natural for him to walk like that in a rugged and steep terrain.

It's really hard for me, I almost catch breath but I have to keep goin'. See, the trick is to stop every now and then to take picture so it wouldn't look like I'm really resting.(LOL).


My buddy, Rey...


God I miss the place! It's also getting cold as we go higher. But I didn't appreciate that much since I sweating really hard. We stopped in an abandoned water tank were we sip some water, still fresh though. And we continue walking according to Rey, It's supposed to be an hour trekking but since he has a neophyte with him, he dought it!


Some interesting shot I took...

A lot of things to see there, like the one above I don't really know what is that It just caught my attention the beauty of nature. There's a lot more, plant that even my mom doesn't know the name. All I know is that my cousin said if you see a fruit that looks delicious check it there's a bird bite. That you'll know if you can eat it, otherwise don't.


Here's one we saw it looks like a banana but it's a vine...there's no bird bite!

So I'm contented with the photoo and I just took one piece and showed it to my mom, and know what she doesn't recogize it. I'm so excited with that tour my struggle really paid off when we reach the apex.










We did it!!!We made it on top!!!
