January 15, 2017 - the start of something new, something unexpected from two people who knew each other before then but it didn't occur that something might come up and turn our worlds closer until we no longer can keep up with the emotions. We finished the trail together and hopefully, not just this mountain but the world out there.
Started off Brgy. Ampucao and a few minutes of our start saw this little house. |

There no need for a guide, its a find-your-own-way kind of hike but there's an environmental fee collected by the Barangay. It's just about or less than an hour hike from the cemented road but depends on your pace of course.

but here's a bit about me
I am just like any ordinary girl.
I am not into sports, I am clumsy though I want to learn a few martial arts stuff (for self-defense in cases of...)
I am comfortable being alone.
I am romantic at heart. (haha!)
I am usually silent.
I am very much sentimental.
I am stubborn (at times).
These few that just made my day. I hope it does too for you.
1. I asked God for a bike, but I know God doesn’t work that way. So I stole a bike and asked for forgiveness.
2. Do not argue with an idiot. He will drag you down to his level and beat you with experience.
3. I want to die peacefully in my sleep, like my grandfather.. Not screaming and yelling like the passengers in his car.

Villa Escudero
-a plantation and a resort in on the border of Tiaong, Quezon, and San Pablo City, Laguna, which the famous Waterfalls Restaurant is located (well, it's really the reason why we went to this place).
and it's a 1400 worth experience!

They do serve Filipino cuisines |
While on our way home from Baguio to Ifugao, we passed by this beautiful lake along the road and had to stop to take some photos. It was a breath-taking view and the wind that touch your skin is just soothingly cold you may want to spend more time and just think about life and anything under the sun.
This is one of the best routes when you're on a road trip and it is just an hour and half from Baguio City. But the road might be quite nauseating for some since the highways were made at the sides of the mountain so either you go a 360-degree curves or go up and down or left and right routes. So drivers must be careful.
You'll see hanging bridges as well aside from the scenic mountain views just outside your windows.
