Summer class is end, phew…

Now is the time for another adventure trip. This will simply a backpacking to Banaue - Sagada [caving] - Baquio on May 31 - June 3 2007.

"Ang Pinay naabot ang tuktok, kaya ng Pinay!" was the first statement coming from Noelle Wenceslao as she radioed the basecamp of Mt. Everest informing the team that she was just reached the highest triangulation on earth, Mt. Everest - The Big E… on Wednesday, 6:10 a.m Nepal time or 8:10 a.m in Manila, May 16, 2007.

Last April 21, 2007 i had a privillage backpacked to an unknown mountain in Nagaland Northeast India. Practically, i was in the mountainous area of himalayan range.

Man… it was really close to Kathmandu!!! Perhaps, i could be able to visit Nepal someday.

… Noelle, can’t wait for Mt. Pico de loro mountain climbing.

…you can’t go for the summit because you feel obligated to. You can’t do it because you want to shoot pictures. you can’t do it because you want to write a story about it. And you can’t do it for someone else, because that someone else won’t be there if you screw up.

You have to do it because you’re really motivated from inside, because you have your own personal reason to do it…
