The High​light

This day is the continuation of my adventure. According to my checklist, ang gagawin ko ngayon ay "Matutong magluto at Makaakyat ng bundok". Kagabi pinakita ko kay Daddy yung list ko, also I discussed with him kung sino yung makakasama ko dito. Naplano ko na kung saang place at sino-sino yung mga kasama. And on this adventure which is hiking, I called Alana, Alizah and Fajra to come with me, luckily pumayag sila.

"Tine, tumawag kanina sila Lana, sabi nila nasa byahe na sila. Siguro mga 10 minutes nandito na sila."

Maaga rin nagising si Yanni to prepare my breakfast, also last night we prepared the things that I needed for hiking. In my bag, I had a map, syempre baka maligaw kami, headlamp kasi medyo madilim pa, water, my medicine, first aid kit in case may masugatan during pagakyat, insect repellent kasi base sa research ko maraming insects doon sa mountain, food tsaka other things na kailangan when you do hiking.

Ang mountain na napili ko is Mt. Tapulao here rin sa Zambales, it was in Palauig if you want to visit. I decided na doon nalang kasi maganda daw tsaka challenging mountain siya. While waiting for my friends, I eat muna my breakfast para may energy then for today I wear a jacket on my inner top is a tie dye crop top and black leggings.

"Tine, kapag may problema tumawag agad ha."

"Yes Yanni, don't worry may kasama rin naman po kaming ma guguide sa amin during the hike."

"Tineeeeee" Fajra

Here we go, nandito na sila. Nag pahinga muna sila mga 5 minutes then we go straight to our destination. We use one car para madali habang nasa byahe nag kwentuhan muna kami. Ilang oras rin kasi ang byahe.

"Last night I searched for Mt. Tapulao and guess what, maganda daw yung summit." Alizah

"Yeah, I had my powerbank nga eh, you know when we reach the top let's have a photoshoot, instagrammable daw eh." Alana

"Gurls, may dala kayong chocolates, penge nga." Fajra

"Wait, I have, but it's dark chocolate."

"Yeah, kahit ano basta makakakain." Fajra

After little chikahan, natulog muna kami, we have an hour pa naman para mamaya full energy kami.

"Wowww, anlayo pala lalakarin." Alizah

After 20 minutes of walking, nakarating na kami sa mismong place, ina assist na kami ng mag guguide samin. He also discussed with us yung mga dapat gawin para alam namin, then we start hiking na.

Kuya Ry, our guide, told us na mga 1 hour bago kami makaakyat, well it depends on parin sa bilis namin.

"Tine, excited nakoo yieee." Fajra

"Me too."

Nilimitahan namin yung chikahan kasi mas nakakapagod pag habang naglalakad kami at nagsasalita. May hawak rin kaming flashlight para mas malinaw yung dina daanan namin.

"Girls, okay pa ba kayo diyan?" Kuya Ry

"Yeah, a little po hinihingal lang." Alana

"Sige, pahinga muna tayo, upo muna kayo diyan." Kuya Ry

May mga upuan dito na gawa sa puno, siguro para narin sa mga umaakyat incase na mapagod sila. Nagpahinga muna kami ng 10 minutes. Uminom ng tubig, nagpunas ng pawis at nagpicture. Dala dala ko yung camera ko to capture this memorable moment.

Then we continue our hiking, medyo mahirap kasi may mga madulas na part na nadadaaanan namin, then there's a part na madamo, but despite that nakarating rin kami sa summit.

"Wowww, ang gandaa." Alizah

"Anlamig, parang nasa Baguio ako." Fajra

"Girls, pwede na kayong magikot, make sure na magiingat kayo." Kuya Ry
