I just turned o-n-e

Hmmm. Lemesee. I think it has been a while since I left this blog void of updates last July. Honestly the only reason I have is that i am too lazy to write........ (or too busy with work..? NOT!) However I still think one needs to have some dedication on something he ought to do -- and I feel bad about the wasted time (and money!, i am paying for the domain name you know) that I should have shared a lot via this blog.

But! I've been to places i never thought I'd be for the last three months, and I can't wait to share it here.

I am no mountaineer. I don't even know if i am classified as "amateur". But one thing's for sure: I've grown a strong attachment to the outdoors, especially the mountains and to enjoy the company of people who share the same passion; hence my first (and hopefully not last), investment on this new addiction.

I figured it would be time to reward myself with something that I know I will always use.
Meet Cutterpillow, my first hiking companion.

Tarak Ridge: Weekend dayhike

A week after our postponed twin-climb in Batangas, the mountainist Ivan took the initiative in making up for the lost time and planning effort by letting us hike with him in the craggy and sharp rocks of Tarak ridge, a well-known spot for hiker-wannabes like me. Hence, making this my first major climb. Take note, though, that this is not your typical walk-in-the-park type of adventure as tough trails and deadly cliffs are out and about. 

I tried my best to capture what my lens and film could see, while treading the forty-five degree slopes of the trail. Here are some of the selected unprocessed photos from my camera.
