It's exciting when you reach Station 04. Yu'll find Mang Priring little shelter where hikers can stay and rest for a while. and the best part is...
FREE COFFEE! 
This is not your regular instant coffee. This is brewed Civet coffee. look it up 
Civet coffee beans. Mang Piirng wasn't there when we arrived but his brother was willing enough to entertain us. He told stories and served coffee (he also sold ground civet coffee which I bought two packs XD)

No the coffee is not from this cute kitty XD 
We spotted campers near the summit. Relaxing as they enjoy the view of Batangas from the top.
Almost there! 
It's a crazy feeling of achievement when we got to the top!
the most delicious sandwich that day. Eating lunch after that tiring hike was relieving.

We went down on a wider area to chill, while some of our friends dozed off, we explored around and did a quick photoshooting

I always like spontaneous adventures!
This is the first time I hiked up a mountain even though this is supposed to be an easy climb. It was quite s trial for me especially those muddy slopes. >.< I did this with my friends during my birthday weekend!
No that's how you celebrate birthdays /o/ \o\ /o/

They say it was stolen.  where Tomb Raider the Movie was filmed!  Cambodia 2014

Travel | Sombrero Island

As promise, here's the intense part two of our Anilao trip. After our Mt. Gulugod Baboy hike we headed straight to prepare for the boat ride to Sombero island. since we started a little late on the hike, we're literally chasing the sun. Sombrero island is a very small place with no electricity or sorts, so we aimed not to stay there after sunset. Also the guide warned us that the waves are gonna be crazy wild when we wait that late, and it'll be hard to cross back. Sombrero means hat in English maybe because it is shaped like hat #fancy We only got to stay there less than 2 hours but it's fine. We got to swim, shoot and chill. What I love about islands like this is the extra clear water, white sands and the feeling of distance. We can even see Mt. Gulugod from the island so that was quite a scene. I also got to meet a new friend, a dog. He was friendly, I think he's owned by the island caretakers. By the way there is an entrance fee of 150/person and...
