Reminder to Self 004: Tulo Laway for More Laray**

** Laray = Waray for Lakwatsa

Kagagaling lang namin ng Baguio (which was uber-fun... super classic Baguio outing lang talaga! Hahahaa! Kaso uber-gastos rin ako sa pagkain! In fairness kung di ko lang tinodo yung lamon ko... super tipid yung lakad na yun! Eh kaso masarap kumain bakit ba?! Calling all peoples... post niyo naman sa multiply yung pictures hahaha! para pde ko magrab at ipost dito sa blog ko yung favorites ko! hahahaha!)... at eto na naman ako nangangati na naman lumayas sa kung saan.

My scheduled lakwatsa for the year:
1) Bohol (August)
2) Kota Kinabalu (October)

May nangungulit sa akin sumama sa akyat sa Pulag sa end of Feb... kaso... ahm... di pa aker ready.. I thunk... I still need to train. Pero sabagay... tatakbo na rin naman ako ngayong Feb... so feeling ko kaya ko na rin yung Amabangeg by end of Feb... EH KASO!! TINATAMAD PA AKO MAGLUTO! hahahaha! I miss Ace!

Si Ace ang aking personal entertainment system and personal assistant... pag kasama siya okay lang mag-tantrums ako ala Kai! Mwahahaha! Ok, di naman masyadong ala-Kai kasi baka itulak ako sa bangin nun pag tinapunan ko siya ng yogurt! Hahahahah! More like.. pde ako mag-inarte more than my usual self pag kasama ko siya umakyat kasi halimaw lang talaga si Ace! Kelangan ko lang mag-hiwa hiwa ng mga gulay tapos siya na magluluto... hahaha! Kesa ako yung magluluto ng buong meal... mas masaya maghiwa-hiwa lang no... may feeling of "tumulong ako" pero di rin naman naka-depend sa yo yung energy source ng ibang tao masyado! Hahaha!

Maarte na ako ngayon bakit?! Pota! Hahaha! HUWATHAPPENDTOMEEEH?!?! Taena sobrang tamad ko lang talaga ngayon... o baka kasi matagal na akong di nakakaakyat... medyo nakakalimutan ko na yung joy of climbing... at naalala ko lang ngayon yung dread ko of cooking and preparing food sa labas ng tent on a very cold February night in Pulag... which, as I recall, will lead you to eat lupa and damo pag very clumsy ka...

I digress, anyway... as I was saying naglalaway na naman ako for more lakwatsa... may nagreply kasi sa akin yung isang pinagtanungan ko about Mt Kinabalu... tapos biglang sinuggest niya yung Via Ferrata na Walk the Torq. Pwede rin daw yung Mesilau Trail if ever. Eh wala naman ako balak mag-via Ferrata kasi medyo mahalers kesa kung aakyat ka lang... tapos biglang nakasulat sa email 50% muna singil tapos next half is 1 month before the climb na... tapos napaisip ako... POTA! minsan lang ako aakyat ng Mt. Kinabalu... di ko naman dream gawing yearly ang Kinabalu (gaya ng ginawa ko sa Pulag for the past 4 years) kasi di naman ako gawa sa ginto... kung kumikinang man ako... ito'y di dahil gawa ako sa mamahaling materyal... more likely... dahil lang yun sa innate star factor ko! AHAHAHAHAHHAH! HAYLAVET!

Pero anyway ulit... siyempre basa basa ulit ako on Via Ferrata... at habang nagreresearch ako.. may isa pa palang route ang Via Ferrata... ito naman yung Low's Peak Circuit. And according dun sa isang drowing (may descriptions naman yung Walk the Torq at Low's Peak Circuit... kaso di ko maabsorb masyado... mas madali intindihin ang drowing... gaya nga ng sabi ng Michael Learns to Rock... "Paint My love... you should paint my love... it's a picture of a thousand sunseheeetss!!" Hahahah!), mukhang mas sulit yung Low's Peak... nagtanong pa ako ulit dun sa nag-email sa akin kung kaya pa rin ba yung Mesilau-Timpohon na Trail even with Low's Peak Circuit na Via Ferrata.. wala pang reply...

Taena! feeling ko kung pde yung Low's Peak Circuit with Mesilau-Timpohon trekking... HOMAYGEDS! kelangan super duper extra fit akong umalis ng Pilipinas ng October! Kelangan tipong pag mag-Ambangeg ako with a full pack (na di porter ang nagdadala! Kelangan malinaw!)... 1 hour lang nasa camp site na ako dapat... Hahahaha sarap maging ambisyosa!

HAY SHIYET!

Things to do for a successful Climb:
1) Dapat by May, I should be doing 10K runs 3x a week na di ako namamatay after the run.
2) Dapat by August, I should be able to do 15K runs 2x a week na di rin ako durog after the run.

Reminder re my reminders:
1) TAKE CARE OF MY KNEES!
2) I should be able to train with minimal impact to my knees as possible.
3) 1 = 2 lang naman basically (see numeric list, directly above this line)... pero gusto ko ng lists eh bakit?!

EEH NEEHCADEEMA EEH NAA WEENAH!

EEH NEEHCADEEMA EEH NAA WAH!

ORA! ORA! ORA RAH!

NAOMI! NAOMI!

RAH RAH RAH!

Chine-cheer ko sarili ko! BAKIT!?!?!?! Hahhaaha!

HAYMZOEGZAYTED WENS EGEN!!!

To Climb or Not to Climb? That is the Question!

Potaaaaaaaaaa!!! Di pa ako ready umakyat ulit! October pa ako ready!!!

Tinatamad pa ako magluto sa bundok! Tinatamad pa ako umakyat ng bundok! Tinatamad pa ako tumakbo para maging ready sa akyat!!!

Eh kaso 'tong si Juani (HS dabarkads) nangungulit na sumama daw ako... kasama niya rin pala nag-reserve ng slot sa Talikasan yung isang kaklase niya ata sa Chem nung college. TAENA!!! Ayoko ng may nangungulit sa akin... KASI NAPAPAISIP AKOOOOOOOOO!!! Lalo na kung gusto ko gawin pero tinatamad lang ako gawin!!!

Tapos biglang nagtext... kasama na daw si Jeannelle (HS Dabarkads na mas ka-close ko nung HS...na favorite yung Backstreet... habang ako naman Boyzone... pero di kami nag-usap for a year dahil sa Code Red! Pota! Hahaha! Battle of the Boy Bands! Leche!) AYAN TULOY!!!

Ayoko nga sumama sa Indra na Pulag eh! Shiyet!! Nagsabi na ako kina Sir Jing at Joy na di ako magpu-Pulag kasi tipid mode ako...(kasi akala ko may kotse pa ako till Feb nung tinanong nila ako... saka di ko na rin sinabi na tinatamad ako para mukha lang akong lakas! hahahaah! hilig ko talaga magpanggap!) tapos biglang sasama ako kina Juani (we'll at least wala akong kelangan alagaan masyado kina Juani kasi Talikasan yung sasamahan namin... so sagot na ng mga GL sa UPM sila Juani... mwahehehe! tamad much?!)...

HAY HAM SO CAHNFYUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUSSSSTTTTT!!!! Gusto ko sumama pero tamad pa ako! Kung sumama ako... kelangan ko na tumakbo ng seryosohan kung ayaw ko matulad sa akyat ko last year kung san ginamit ko si Kai para magmukhang LAKAS lang ako! SHETDATPAK! Hahaha! Labyu Kai!

SO... TO CLIMB OR NOT TO CLIMB? DO I? or DO I NOT?

Reminder to Self 003: Brain Bursting!

Potaena! Di ako makatulog!!!

Besides the almost-freezing temp, I have this idea of starting a Travel Blog. Andami-dami kong naiisip kung paano ko siya gagawin.

I'm going to try to remember the places where I've been since I was a kid. Tell a story kung pano ako napunta dun, pano pumunta dun, what I like about the place, etc. Maybe I'll put a link to albums that are currently existing online and then mark those places where I've been nung di pa uso digicam, then go back to those places with camera on-hand para astig!

SHET! plano na naman ng plano! Di naman magawa... di bale... at least nakarecord na dito.

Sana magawa ko to!

Reminder to Self

GALAW GALAW KUNG AYAW MONG MASTROKE!

Taena! Kelangan ko na talaga mag-damoves kung gustong kung umakyat ng Kinabalu at bumabang di wasak... at kahit sabi nila di daw ganun kahirap...

at my fitness level... homaygeds... I'm deds!

Tama na excuses! Potaena! Bakit kasi ang galing kung gumawa ng rason.

Sabi nga ni Sir Hillary... it is not the mountain we conquer but ourselves... but why am I super strong?!?!? Super strong sa katamaran! PAKDATSHET!

Even if I don't believe in resolutions... at kahit di gumagana sa akin ang pangungutya ng iba... ganito na lang...

FUCK YOU ALL PAPAYAT AKO AT MAGIGING SUPER DUPER EXTRA FIT!

Yes... kelangan mag-mura para feel na feel na feel!

My Favorite Website

...for today... and for weeks to come...

Lonely Planet

Taena!!! I NEED MONEY!!! I NEED TO SAVE MONEY!!!!

Pakshet mauubos ang non-existing kayamanan ko nito!!! Akala ko pa naman yayaman na akO!

Travel... why dost thou tempt me so!?!

Papayat na Ako!!!! Pag naregularize ako...

Mwahehe!

I never followed any diet... kasi I love food. Nor did I follow any exercise regimen just for the sake of slimming down. Masyado akong tamad for it. I know I need to lose weight. My mama, pictures, weighing scale, and clothes can attest to that... vehemently. Pero di ko lang talaga kayang tumayo at gumalaw just for the sake of "health" and "good looks".

Mas masarap humilata sa higaan at mag-series marathon kesa mag-medyas, mag-sapatos at pumili ng outfit na di ako masyado pagmumukhaing mataba pero appropriate naman for exercise.

Most times, I don't care about my weight... pero pag naghahanap na ako ng damit na isusuot sa events... saka ko naiisip na... fuck! Kasya sana ako sa damit ko 2 years ago! Swak sana yung dress na yun for this event. But alas! I am 2 years and 30 lbs too late to fit in that styooopeeed dress!

BUTI NA LANG!

I have decided to climb Mt. Kota Kinabalu next year! I will schedule my flight and book a room as soon as maregularize ako! Kelangan maregularize muna ako... mamaya niyan wala ako pambayad sa flight and room ko... Ayoko maging taong grasa sa Malaysia nO!

Exercise here I come!!!!

Where I wasted my time today...

Cebu Pacific Website. Sino ang mag-aakalang nakaka-adik pala mag-check ng flight/hotel/destination combo?

I want to traveeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeel!!!!!! DROOL!

My Birthday Wish

World Peace.

Hahahahahahahahaha!!!! Hayaan niyo na ako! Feeling beauty pageant contestant bakit ba?!

Ok... my actual, selfish birthday wish... is...

as always...

Money! Money! Money! (Is so funny! in a rich man's world!)

And my actual, attempting-to-be-less-superficial birthday wish is...

as always...

Another safe and happy year for my family and friends.

but my actual birthday wish is... (kinda selfish but I still don't care)...

as always...

To lose weight and then travel to a place I've never been too. And have fun there!

Kelangan specific... mamaya kinidnap pala ako at dinala sa "place I've never been too"... mabuti na yung careful...

Kasi sabi nga nila... be careful what you birthday wish for!

Hahahhhahaa!

Places to go to...

Kamikochi - Japan Alps National Park Resort

Shet! Tapos may hot spring pa.... This is where I want to go to relax... where I can hike and then come back down to a hot spring... tapos massage... tapos lamooon! Shet!

I also want to go to Nepal... but this time to volunteer... I'm not saying that I'm a golden hearted person because I'm not... I rarely volunteer here in the Philippines... I used to in college (because there were lots of opportunities and we would usually pass them off as org activities) but after college... I only get to volunteer when disaster strikes... (well... now that I think about it... disasters do strike our country often enough)

Anyway, I just want to experience volunteering in another country... see what it's like to help in another 3rd world country where I don't understand half of what they're saying. I found this site www.idealist.org where you can search for volunteer opportunities which are suited for the skills you have and you can also specify WHEN you want to volunteer... this is especially helpful for those who want to volunteer using their VLs (vacation leave). And the first country I want to visit is Nepal... although I''m not climbing Mt. Everest... because let's face it.. besides the fact that I can't afford it... di rin keri ng mga taba ko no! hahahha! So... ok fine! volunteer na lang tayo sa Nepal... at least I get to be in the country where Mt. Everest is, right?! hahahaha! Talk about settling! For anyone interested you can check www.webnepal.org. They offer various programs I think.

But then again... be it volunteer-vacation or pure relaxation... I still need... Money! Money! Money! It's so funny! In a rich man's world!
