Taking a break from my Tokyo posts to make way for this one. You know how others have so-called “birthday posts” on their blogs? Well, this is my version of that, haha! Continue reading “Wasteland No More: Birthday Trek to Mt. Pinatubo”
Ambuklao Adventure III: A Photodiary
One sure sign that you truly enjoyed an experience: you have a hard time letting go of it. I was randomly going through the photos uploaded by others who were with us during the Ambuklao Adventure III last October 24 to 26, and I just knew this deserved a third post, if only to wrap it up. This photodiary will never do justice with the amount of fun we had during this enriching experience, but I hope it shows, even just a little, how much it did.

The Four Lakes of Mystical Kabayan
We might not realize it, but we all have our “no-fail-places-to-go-to”. It’s the kind of place that you can go to repeatedly and never fail to be satisfied, awed, or amazed.

Its situated perfectly, giving us, i-Benguets, the best of both worlds: the conveniences of urban living, and the sheer grace and magnificence of nature. Is it any wonder, then, why it never occurred to me to live anywhere else?

Ambuklao Adventure III: "The Adventure Lives On"
When I hear the word “Ambuklao”, what comes to mind is the Ambuklao Dam, the wide lake we pass by along the way to, say, Kabayan, and tilapia. Recently, I’ve heard about the place being opened for several adventures, such as kayaking. Then came the opportunity to join the 3rd run of the Ambuklao Adventure series, and me and my friends grabbed it. Continue reading “Ambuklao Adventure III: "The Adventure Lives On"”
