Highlands for a summer in BUDA Vista Garden Resort

Highlands for a summer in BUDA Vista Garden Resort

We are in the middle of the summer and it was a little odd for me to go hiking when I know that this season is hotter. I was in Mt Megatong last week and I felt like I might need some staycation somewhere with colder temperature.

BuDa is the place to consider if you are looking for a colder one. BuDa means Bukidnon-Davao as it connects or the boundary between the two. Bukidnon has a nickname…

A night in Mt. Megatong and a day in Kipaliku river

A night in Mt. Megatong and a day in Kipaliku river

First of all, it will make sense if you know why you hike or go to any kind of travel. We all must start with “why” so whatever we face along the way, we only see the end goal. Hiking is not easy and whatever you see in someone’s post at the top of the mountain will always mean that they took some time challenging themselves.

Mount Megatong is the pride mountain of Sto. Tomas, Davao del…

Words that Matters

Imagine you woke up one day in the future and there is a law that you have only 500 words to say or write or sign language in your entire life. And when you reached 501st word, you will be punished. And death is the punishment.

This my fiction type thought that is rumbling in my head for a while now. What if we have to shut our mouth or stop spreading words in order to save our life? Would…

Adulting: Losing Friends

Our student years are surely memorable and most of our friends we have now were our schoolmates. How long do you think you can keep friendship with them?

I was very active in our school organisations and so I made so many friends. Some of them were very close to me, only few were actually left as my friends, real friends.

Why I have lost them?

Always remember that losing friends is…

Leaving Corporate Job

It was a very hard decision, but I took the risk anyway.  I was driven with ambitious mind, wanting to own a business, work on my own, competing in the world of entrepreneurs.

The drowning moment made me decide to leave.My corporate job is challenging, I was learning but I think it was a bit too much to handle.  It is a common thing to have so much in our plate and we are struggling to choose…

Accepting Imperfections

We thought we are really good at doing our own craft, we are emerging in the world of talents we belong, we are all amazing in our own way. But somehow, you can’t do everything at the same time.

In my life, I’m starting to become a “Jack of all trades” as I do almost creative stuff from drawing, video editing to graphic and web design, and now writing. I admit, I am master of nothing.

23:5 Are you Happy?

23:5 Are you Happy?

Questions have specific answers, but not all.  Some questions can give us time to think, because of its ambiguity.

Are you happy?

First, all of us are different individuals, and we have our own reasons of happiness.  We have different types of living, different mode of satisfaction, and different ways to be happy.

Second, we may have the same land, same hours of living and same being.  But it is…

23:4 Game of emotions

We’ve been friends for so long, you were my first buddy in college years.  You were my companion, you were my entire horizon.  You were, who knows me deeper, who entered my inner life, who knows my weaknesses.  Weakness, where you found stimulus to play with my emotions, you know it is hard for me not to care about you, to love you, but you used that to play with my emotions. You ask things, let…

It is getting weirder now.  The moment I close my eyes, I know I will be somewhere else.  I still have my consciousness, the fact that I can acknowledge in my dream that I am just dreaming.  I have enjoyed this kind of activity in mind, until the dreams of mine are getting weirder.

Earth Time.  Have you wondered when will be the end of the world? Who knows? But in my dream, I was given a vivid…

23:1 Fast-paced

If I will just talk about big dreams, goals and objectives in life, I have long list in mind.  We can control what goals we want but one thing that’s uncertain is when.  The timeline is difficult to handle, we can make our own  but we can’t make sure that everything will be in our favor.  There is no specific timeline for everybody, but there is a specific timeline designed for you, only.

Mt. Batolusong is located in Tanay Rizal, Philippines. Almost 3-hour drive from the Metro. It has three summits and sea of clouds but only by chance because there are some instances that the wind is strong enough to wipe the clouds.

It is a really good exercise and it keeps your body active and fit.  You have to bare in mind that trekking requires enough energy so you have to compose yourself first before starting the hike.  Mt. Batolusong is a minor climb and a good place for beginners in mountain climbing.

Things you should have:

Headlamp/Flashlight

Water (You can refill your bottle with the fresh water from the mountain along your way)

Extra shirts

Backpack

Foods

Sport Shoes

Sunblock

Cameras

Extra Money

You can buy food along your way to the peak, there are two stores that sell good food for energy.  But to cut your costs, you can bring your own crackers or bread.  Do not bring a very big backpack since it is just a minor climb to ease the struggle.

At the PEAK

It was nice and very relaxing place.  I wasn’t able to witness the sea of clouds but I felt the magic of two rainbows right at every peak.  The peaks were named Mapatag Plateau, Duhatan Ridge and Rangyas Peak.
