another falls

eto pa ang isang falls na malapit sa pagsanjan. actually, mas una mo itong madadaanan kung patungo ka ng pagsanjan falls. mas mataas ito kumpara sa pagsanjan pero mas mahina nga lang yung agos nito. ang lugar na ito ang sya ring nagsisilbing stop over kung papunta pa lang kayo. dito magpapahinga sandali ang inyong mga bangkero, pwede rin kayong mag merienda dito at uminom ng tubig lalo na kung nabigla o na excite kayo sa mga rapids na inyo ng dinaanan. magabwi na rin kayo ng lakas ng luob dahil mas malakas pa ang rapids magmula rito hanggang makarating na kayo sa inyong pakay.

at kung nais nyong walang masyadong asungot sa pictures nyo, agahan ang pagpunta dito. kami kasi e mga 8 pa lang ng umaga e nakasakay na kami ng bangka patungong falls. kaya naman, solong solo namin iyon ng kami'y dumating dun.

at bago ko malimutan, sabi ng mga bangkero, pag malakas daw ang alon (malamang pag maulan) e hanggang dito lang sila naghahatid. sensya na at di na namin naitanung kung pano yung binayad nyo kung hanggang dito ka lang. di na namin naisip yun dahil narating naman namin yung pakay namin e, nyahahahahah!!!!

try nyong puntahan ito.... mag-eenjoy din kayo... pero... warning lang po....

pagsanjan falls

nung nakaraang weekend, napagkayayaan naming magpunta ng pagsanjan falls. wala lang, isang biglaang lakad na walang kaplano plano. basta gusto lang namin marating yun, nakakahiya mang aminin, kung saan saan na kami nakarating tatlo, pero first time pa lang namin dito, heheheh.

sakay ng bangkang ito, tinahak namin ang bumbungan river mula sa bayan ng pagsanjan hanggang sa may waterfalls. masaya ang aming paglalakbay, kulang kulang isang oras bago namin narating ang aming pakay. exciting lalo na sa mga rapids. may labing anim daw na rapids dito, di na namin nabilang dahil yung mga huling (3-5) bahagi ay masyado ng malakas at di na namin nagawang bilangin dahil sa ang hiling namin e yun na ang huli, nyahahahah.

pagsanjan falls, cavinti, laguna (nikon D70)

ito ang pagsanjan falls. initial reaction namin nung makita ito, "yan na yun?" maganda naman sya kung pagmamasdan. pero sa mga tulad naming iba't ibang falls na ang nakita sa tuwing umaakyat kami ng mga kabundukan, it would be a regular one for us. in fairness, very exciting yung trip going here (pasalubong sa agos) at yung pabalik (mabilis dahil sabay sa agos). not to mention yung ganda ng view habang nasa bangka ka patungo rito.

note: sa mga nagnanais pumunta rito, mangyaring dumiretso na kayo sa bayan mismo ng pagsanjan, laguna. naruon ang tourism office. dun na kayo kumuha ng mga bangkerong maghahatid sa inyo. Php660 per person lang ang bayad (max 3 per bangka). pwedeng mag-tip pero di pwersahan.

salamat nga pala kay eye sa pagpapahiram nya ng D70 camera nya sa trip na 'to...

Edet River

This is Edet River, this is where everybody usually have their lunch when taking Akiki trail of Mt. Pulag. As for us, instead of having a leisurely 1.5hour break, we had to cut it off to 40 mins to make up for the lost time on going here.... this is the life of an adik, heheheheh

Mt. Pulag

Last weekend we did some "adik" (addict) climb on mt. pulag.

Mt. Pulag Summit (Grassland) as seen from Ambangeg Trail

Why adik climb? We took the Akiki-Ambangeg trail of Mt. Pulag. It's not that unusual except that normally it will took any group 2 days to go up (via akiki trail) and 1 day to go down (via ambangeg trail). Our group, took akiki trail in one whole day. From 11AM to 10PM with rest only to eat lunch, snacks and dinner.

Taken from the summit just after sunrise

Why do such thing? Each member have different reason why they joined this climb. As for me, I would like to see how far can I go, and it will also test your emotional and psychological strength. And I learn (again!!!) something on this climb, if you're going to do such climb, you should come prepared. And since, it's been a while since my last climb, I had a hard time because of my cramps on both legs.

Mt. Pulag's Camp 3

Our guide told us that there were other groups (that he guided) who tried to do the same but all of them failed. And at first he thought we were just joking when we told him our plan. And he was really surprised that we actually did it. In spite of our two-hour delay in starting the trek and two of us suffered cramps, we were still able to reach campsite on the set time and still enjoy the view.

Watch out for more pictures/posts regarding this climb.
