Never lose the kids in you! I have feelings from my childhood that someday I will climb up and hike many mountains. I felt it when I tried to climb up the hills on our place that we called “Kastilyong Buhangin.” It is the boundary of barangay Olo-olo and Barangay Sawang at Lobo, Batangas. Alfie Alegre and Marlon Robilios were the first people I had been with on my first hiking adventure. Going up and down is challenging and the experience at the top is rewarding.
The Hike Rewards
The fresh air is very abundant all over the place and it is very good to improve health. Socializing and having new friends on the trail is good opportunity to learn and to expand your network. The feeling of being successful when you reach the summit is a good psychological practice. Hiking can give the feeling of success overnight or a day hike. And basically the views from the top create different sets of emotion and feeling. Focus on happy thoughts and it feels it with you.
My Hike Attire
I am wearing rugged attire on Mt. Tagapo and Mt. Pico De Loro. I want to wear complete gear before Mt. Pico climb but I did not find time to buy. Please enjoy what I have. For sure I will enjoy it more when I have proper hiking attire. Sling bag, fitted jeans, t-shirt, jacket and sandals.
Awesome Tour Guide and Porter.
Following the footsteps of the successful people is the best way to achieved success. You can hire them if no one in your team knows how to get there. Having porter to carry your things is nice but I haven’t tried it before.
Food and Drinks
One of the best things to enjoy is food at the campsite and drinking along the way. 2 Two litters of water and lunch pack are good for a day hike.
The fun and safety
Never never never lose the kids in you! Always be careful and be observant because not all steps will be good for you. It is fun when get there at the top and keep safe to enjoy more.
Not so very expensive adventure
Compare with having diner in fine dine in or movie date, hiking usually requires a registrations fee that is most likely around twenty to one hundred pesos (20-100). The rest is how you prepare things, food and transportation fare.
Why I love to hike?
This is how I forget the rest of the world and enjoy my life at the moment.
