Feature | Sandugo Mudtrax

-
A proper footwear is one of the most important investment any mountaineer should start with.
I have been using Sandugo's previous trekking shoe - SH1201 and it never failed me on my adventures. I survived my longest hike of 2 days using it so I knew I can trust the quality and durability of Sandugo footwears.
MUDTRAX looks and feels different from it's successor. It looks more like a regular atlethic shoe but with a stronger build.. The soles are equipped with thick and deep tread grooves to promote ultimate grip. the body is a combination breathable cloth and mesh and leather. Although I kind of missed the easy lacing of SH1201 since this one uses regular shoe laces I don't mind because I can change laces whenever I want. 
Me trying it out for the first time at the Farmer's Plaza Branch

Due to it's build, it it almost twice as bulky compared to SH1201 but you'll be surprised on how light it is. Since it is made for trekking and trail running, it's lightweight structure provides a comfortable hiking experience. Speaking of comfort, MUDTRAX also feels more padded and snug.
I have been using it when I jog too. Check out the luminous panels on the photo. A smart addition especially for people like me who jogs at night and for those night campers. Mudtrax comes in a variety of colors - Red, Blue, Gray, Orange and Green. I'm guessing people on Facebook already know I love green haha
I took my new pair on a series of adventures to test out it's performance on actual hiking trips. I survived trekking through musky forests, steep slopes varying from sand, loose soil and mud. Rock climbing smooth, jagged boulders gave me no problems, Although sometimes stepping on wet moss on rocks still gave me quite a slip, it doesn't take away the reality that it supported me on a much dangerous scenario. Sandugo has been promoting MUDTRAX for it's powerful grip and I should say they have the right to do so. 


I definitely recommend MUDTRAX for both beginners and experienced mountaineers. It is retailed for only 1,895 PHP, surprisingly affordable for ithe quality. Keep updated on their Facebook for new releases.

Tomas LA: 13.9777degrees, 760 MAL Days/hours required to summit: 1-2 hours struggle XD  take five!   photo by Joy Hernandez 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)  photo by Joy Hernandez 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. E...

Self | The Nannic Experience

How old do you guys think I am? I always have this intro gag to new friends guessing my age. Thanks to my Asian blood I never got higher my actual age, I usually get lower like early 20s or just right. It's quite fun and flattering honestly. Last December I finally hit my third decade, alarming? not really, but I myself can feel that yes I'm not getting any younger so I need to take care of myself. Come 2018,  I finally decided to get back to myself more and skin care is definitely one of them. For the past years, I never actually paid attention to my skincare. I just use regular soap and a facial foam on a daily basis. So I am grateful for the opportunity to try the Nannic Anti-Aging Facial by Europeanne Aesthetics. What is Nannic?

Travel | Roadtripping Tagaytay

It's one of those days when you just wanna go out somewhere at random and luckily your friends are into it too. Tagaytay city automatically sprung into mind because it is relatively near Manila so travel time wouldn't be an issue. Hello Taal Lake My friends and I decided drive down south. Since we headed off quite late in the afternoon, the plan was to stay overnight for the weekend. We arrived in the city proper at night so we stopped by Tootsie's first for dinner. Tootsie's Tagaytay is an all Filipino cuisine family restaurant along Aguinaldo highway.  The ambiance was homey and the food was great! After dinner we went ahead and looked for an inexpensive inn or hostel. Luckily it wasn't the peak season yet for tourist or else we would have a hard time getting a decent place to stay. **Travel tip: Overlooking views play a huge factor in hotel prices. If you don't mind this, check hotels off road or opposite the "view" side. Y...
