I have been MIA longer than I
thought. Geez. I will not give you crappy reasons though. Bottom line is:
laziness hit me straight right through the core. Blimey, you’ve no idea.
Anyway, let’s get right down to business. So part of why I’ve been busy is that
I’ve been having some little adventures lately. Last March 20, I and my friends
and younger brothers buckled up to conquer Mount Kan-Irag, or commonly known as
Sirao Peak in Cebu City. We started our trek from Talamban and honestly
speaking, I was not physically ready for a very long trek. Look, I was
certainly not well informed that it would take four (4) freakin’ long hours to
get there. I swear that was pretty hell of a life-and-death situation in there!
I can’t seriously put all the feelings –of fear, anxiety, excitement, hope and
all in between—into words. Guess you really have to do certain things to feel
how it’s like, right? There were big rocks and boulders and steep mountainous
slippery road along the way. Too bad I wasn’t able to take videos for you to
actually see the path we’ve been to. Anyhow, you can just imagine how it was
walking and trekking and ‘crawling’ and panting and climbing and more panting
& climbing for 4 hours long under the heat of the scourging sun. Darn that
was pretty exhausting. *catches breath* But the moment we reached the top, oooh
‘twas awesome! It’s not really about how magical the place is (well partly a
bit of that), it is more about self- fulfillment. It’s like saying to yourself:
challenge accepted and challenged accomplished. Alright, so Sirao Peak now off
of my bucket list. Now that’s some real deal. I’m excited for more. Oh yeah
rock on!
