trekking oh-ef-dobol-yu 101

Last June, the "hiker" side got the better of me. So when my friend Mike asked me to join a trek to one of nearby falls.. join I did... I brought along my girlfriend who was visiting me that time(deserves a separate post).
We met with one of our avid hiker office mate together with his family and one expat from Holland who is now based here in Malaysia.

We started trekking around 10am. On the way we passed along this tunnel. You can either wade through the water or walk on the side ledges.

Trek is light and enjoyable and is flat all the way so you won't really spend much effort. The jungle setting combined with river crossing makes it an adventurous experience.



After around 45 minutes we were greeted by this view.

Picture taking time...
Taking a dip..

Passing through the tunnel on our way back..

Another day outdoors.. truly relaxing.

counting in Bahasa

Last night I was trying to teach my girlfriend how to count in bahasa(malaysian language). She was having hard time so I decided to make it easier.


Satu... Dua... Tiga... little Indians
Empat.. Lima.. Enam... little indians
Tujuh.. Delapan..Sembilan.. little indians
Sepuluh little indian boys....

you figure out the tune =p

While trying to find a picture to include in this post, I stumbled upon what wiki has to say about this popular child hood song..

missing hiking...

Last year, I was hiking once a month. This year? isa pa lang =( Now that I am working abroad, mas mahirap na mag hike. Who wont miss views like this?














or the feeling of being so tiny amidst mountains..














Kahit anong pagod mawawala upon seeing rolling hills and grasslands..


hay =( homesick na ako..

pakundisyon...

We're set to do another hike in one month's time. Me and my usual climb buddies. Tagal ko na nami-miss mamundok. Return to Pulag daw. Hopefully magwork out. Maulan dun this time of the year, kaya more than the trek, ung lamig ang kalaban talaga. Since walang time maghike dito, jogging at gym na lang last resort ko.















Our apartment do not have gym so I have to go to my friends condo para maki-gym. Poor? hehe













pulag.. here I come...



















At home I bought two sets of dumbells and foldable na sit-ups board. Ok lang kahit nakakapagod.. kailangan ko to.. kesa namn mapagiwanan ako sa akyatan..

ciao!
