It was nice seeing my UST kada and friends again. The trek at Mt. Pundaquit was hell (but still breathtaking) because we were not prepared, but other than that our gulong-ng-palad-ng-sosyal experience was super AMAZING! The place is divine, a little overrated, but still divine. We had a lot of fun and a lot of food! Hahaha takot magutom!

Highlights:
* Ariel's gulay supermarket
* Rocky sandbed na nakakasugat ng paa! (Swimming is not advisable)
* The boatride that got us mega soaking wet even before we got to our destination. A bumpy boatride that's like we were constantly being thrown a pail of water. Our bags and clothes and all our other things got wet (thank God for ziplocks and Ron's waterproof bags!)
* Our mathematical equations sa pagtatayo ng tent ni sheila. After 30 mins... hahaha!

* "Magbenta kaya tau ng gulay???" (sa dami ng gulay na dala ni ariel)
* Mountain trek pauwi ng naka flipflops, ng super yosi muna at walang stretching = SUICIDE!!! hahaha. After 7 hours of trekking the first thing I did was buy 1 liter of coke. Fuck. Heaven. Darn. - wag tularan.


* Ariel: "Alam mo mukha na kaung papanaw na 3 sa mga itsura nio" (habang umaakyat ng bundok"
*Pag inom ng kahit anong tubig kahit galing stream or tubig ni Kuya guide kesa mamatay sa heatstroke and dehydration!!! (Ron I told you our water's not enough hahaha! AC almost died!). Buti nalang may water source narefillan mga bote namin!!!


* First thing I did upon reaching Mt. Pundaquit's peak : MAGTEXT!!! Shet!!! Ahhh signal after 2 days!!!



TIPS (for Mich, haha!):
1. Don't wear shorts! Wag ako tularan! Hahaha! Well, you can if you're up to a hardcore kuskusan sa paglalaba after. And if your legs can take some beatings from the no mercy talahibs. Wahaha.
2. Bring flashlights, lighters, alcohol (this will save you from those crazy limatiks/leech), scarf/facetowel (coz I swear you'll sweat like crazy), swiss knife, first aid kit and jellyace!!! (perfect trail food since it has some kinda juice you won't be drinking too much water).
3. Know how to read trail signs, in case you get lost (like what happened to me in Malasimbo, buti may trail signs dahil andaming forks! Shet!)
4. Buy a mother plastic. It's liek a huge garbage bag you could use when it rains. You could put all your things there so it won't soak to death. Haha.
5. ZIPLOC ZIPLOC ZIPLOC all your belongings, even your clothes. Saves bag space and saves your things from soaking too. (this saved me at Makiling where we had to sleep in a tent with 1 inch rainwater).
6. Don't bring canned goods!!! Hahaha! I swear, pabigat lang sha sobra. You can bring 1 can of century tuna. You can use the can for cooking. (we did it once!).
7. Don't smoke 1-2 weeks before the climb. AND jog! exercise! cardio cardio cardio! To avoid near death experiences. :P
