I always wanted to try climbing alone, but I dunno what came into my mind when I invited someone that I've never met before. Yes a total stranger "do not ask me how our communication started" hahaha! I was surprised when he said " yes im going!" pero syempre may DOUBT pa siya! ikaw ba naman ayain ng hindi mo kakilala. hahah.
So there we go! we went to Mt. manabu, with my sister and Mr. Robert,- my sister went with us unplanned, well I dunno her thing why! and that was a diff. story :).

The travel was good! It was que sera sera! I just have my photo of a itinerary from some blogger I got on internet, it was served as our guide.
I was thankful because of the good weather, windy at least! We came and back home dry :)
The trail was muddy, obviously due to rain maybe a days ago! so it was pretty not easy. Pero hindi mawawala yung FUN kahit nakakapagod.
He has sense of photography. haha he told us a lot of his bad experience in Manila, I dunno why I found it FUNNY! maybe the way he delivered it. hahaha
When you see a big cross! well then that's the summit. I don't know the story behind the cross, just like what I have said, I'm not so interested with the history of place I go, but if I have time I could do some research.

Word from Duray:
Trusting stranger isn't bad, and wasn't bad at all. Relax, don't be so judgmental, avoid thinking negative things to people, do not conclude. Do not assume that they would hurt us, that they would do this or that! Just be wise! huh?? anu daw? Wala ang akin lang naman eh hindi ako nag iisip ng masama sa kapwa tao, I made them feel that I trust them, and you know what?, good-vibes will come to you, You will be able to think and decide wisely if you are on your calm mind. Wla di ko pa rin magets :( basta kapag hindi ka ng iisip ng masamang mangyayari sayo wala talagang masamang mangyayari sayu! hahaha WHATEVER!
FINALLY! walalng kahirap hirap, just 3 hours we spent on trek including the stay at peak, in return? another bliss experience.
