The cold never bothered us at Mt. Ulap.

Afternoon air reeked of crisp pine trees as we start our ascent at Mt. Ulap. Being opened to the public last October 2015, Mt. Ulap is the newest charm added to mountain enthusiasts. Located at Itogon, Benguet (home to the biggest mining company) is a 40-minute drive away from Baguio City, you may want to add this in your itinerary while you are in the area. Standing 1,846 meters above sea level and nestled in the midst of the expanse highlands of the Cordillera region, Mt. Ulap promises a rewarding experience for hikers and non-hikers alike. We arrived at the City of Pines 10 in the morning, had a quick brunch while waiting for our rented van. We worried about the weather, the sun shy and a bit drizzling, would it be cloudy with no chance of meatballs? when Kuya Philip arrived, we settled in our seats and got ready for the winding road. As we got away from the city crowd, the roads leading to Ampucao greeted us with pleasant view, while exclaiming our long ‘wooows’, we saw mountains over mountains, overlapping in different hues of green, our eyes feasted with the magnificent panorama. We reached Brgy. Ampucao and registered at the Barangay Hall (fees at Php 100 for dayhike and Php 200 for campers). We had orientation, uttered a prayer and introduced us to our guides, Glen and Rey (guides fee – Php 400). The guides our native youths and they earn from guiding over the weekends as a support for their studies. Some 200 meters away from the hall is the jump off point, Totombek, with a cemented path uphill as start and good for warm up. As you go along, the grassy track then gradually increases into woodland dominated by pine trees. We passed througha wooden gate and soon we are on the first peak. From up, you will see the surrounding community, the adjacent community (Mt. Sto. Tomas, Mt. Ugo, Mt. Pulag, Mt. Arayat) and the distant Baguio City. We rested a bit nad luckily we met Wyatt Maktrav Bedural – this cutie boy is the famous kid mountaineer who climbed 32 Philippine mountains. He was 8 months old when they hiked his first mountain as family. He played with us and took many pictures as mementos. We passed by many hikers, advanced through them with wave and greets. After energizing a bit, we continued our trek and arrived at a clearing named Ambunao Paoay. The rolling hills were bathed in melancholy green verdant field. From time to time, the sun gives way to the clouds, letting the hikers experience the chill - us with arms outstretched and faces up. Though the sun was at its zenith, we disregard its heat and bask in its balmy air. The cold wind playfully caressed, making us hugged our bodies tight. After another upward and downward, we reached a peak with stone balancing and formations. We passed by rolling hills with occasional rocks and finally arrived at Gungal Rock. This place is full of massive rocks (we wondered how it got there, or what formed them), and who dares to have a picture taken should have the guts to venture a death defying stunt (nah, just kidding). You just have to wait for your turn, to have the ‘pang profile pic’ perfect shot, but please take extra careful as the spot is really really dangerous. From there, you could see the outside world, still and beautiful. After some time, a fog blanketed the area, taking pictures is not possible because of zero visibility. We took our time to rest and ate ‘kamayan style’.

After stuffing ourselves, we continued our journey. Next to Gungal Rock is the camp site. We were surprised to see several tents and the mood was a little festive. Maybe the peeps were happy they will give their tired bodies a rest. For us, we must continue fast because it is getting darker. Some 20 minutes more, we reached Mt. Ulap’s peak, but decided not to go up and take a look at its foggy top from a distance. As we continue, we met a herd of cows who appears also in a hurry, perhaps, they also don’t want to get caught in the dark. We did traverse and took the exit trail leading to Brgy. Sta. Fe. The slopes down are steep with stair-like tracks. We passed by a cave where their tribe forefathers were buried who they guessed was there for over a hundred years. Halfway, the rain poured down. I was trying to look more sanguine than I felt, praying our ordeal would soon be over. I often asked our guide, how long it would take us to go down. There was a house where we stopped to let the rain pass. The descent went easy and when we continued, from afar we could see the lights from the houses below, a sign we were near the exit point. We passed by cemented pathways, several houses and three hanging bridges and we are done. We started 12 noon going up, and were down 8 in the evening. 8 hours of hike with a total of 8.6 kilometers stretch. Exhausted and starving, thankful no one’s hurt, we still managed to give a laugh about our adventure. Nevertheless we are beyond happy and content. After all the huffs and puffs, seeing the surreal beauty of God’s creation, it’s all worth it. It is just so darn worth it. True to its name, Mt. Ulap promised clouds, these white mass scattered in the vast of ethereal blue sky, gently touching the mountaintop in their daily rendezvous. Atop, time stopped and stood still, a reminder that our frolic life in its thousand forms should be lived in a subtle way. And oh, yes, the cold never bothered us anyway.

Because in California, your dual problems of half-busted Christmas lights and backyard crop of vulnerable citrus trees complement each other quite perfectly. #thecoldneverbotheredusanyway

Just a Little Kiss

Inspired by thecoldneverbotheredusanyway's suggestion! :)

"I dunno if you'd be down for AUs, but how about a Modern!AU Jack and Elsa on a date? Maybe walking in a park or something c:"(2 Down, 3(?) to go!)

--Modern!AU Jelsa - Jack's a mischievous rascal and a bit of a troublemaker but he has a huge soft spot for the prim and proper, elegant and classy Elsa. She knows he's trouble but she sees past the tough exterior and sees the gentle, loving man he really is. Coming from totally different upbringings, they seem to be apparent opposites, however, they have more in common than anyone realizes -  like their shared secret of their mysterious winter powers, for one.--

I had the idea for a while and the suggestion inspired me to finish it! :3 I feel a need to draw more with this Modern!AU... Uh, oh. 

NO REPOSTING PLEASE! :O
