Back to Pulag! Can I just say, this weekend was the BEST weekend for me this year...so far :) I'm not really an outdoorsy person. Lately, though, I've been attracted to the idea that I could try being more active and I shouldn't be afraid trying new things--going outside my comfort zone and pushing myself to see how far I can go. The climb was far from easy, believe me. Considering we took the beginner's trail, there wasn't anything amateur about it! I wanted to cry at times and just give up. But then I realized that there's a greater purpose why I was doing the trek, so I soldiered on--and I made it! I'm glad that I went up the mountain with my cousin Diwa, who's also a godsister of mine. I love it that I get to experience such adventures with people I love and care for. It bonded us even more, given that we're already quite close.
I want to share with you all my Mt. Pulag experience through photos. Enjoy looking at these and I hope that through these pictures you'll be able to somehow experience Mt. Pulag.
Our group before we started the trek up. It rained! Good thing we were ready with our raincoats :)
An hour to go before we reached the campsite...photo-op/an excuse to rest!
At last! We've arrived at the campsite. All smiles, but you have no idea how tired we were!

With my cousin Diwa and her friend Solo. 4 layers of clothing and we're still freezing!
I had to put my feet inside my bag because it was so cold! Considering I was in thermal wear already.
At 3 a.m before our trek up to the summit. FREEZING COLD, I TELL YOU! F-R-E-E-Z-I-N-G!

Beautiful view from up there... glad you captured them all. The sunrise is such an awesome sight. xoxo
Hi Leah! Yes, the sunrise truly was an awesome thing to witness up there :)
Beautiful pictures Kookie! I'm glad you enjoyed your climb. That's so cool that you got a chance to do this.
Amazing! It really seemed freezing up there...and the sunrise was definitely worth the climb. This will be on my adventure list already. haha. :P
Corie: Thanks dear! Hopefully this isn't the only time I'll climb Mt. Pulag...I might take the more difficult trail next time--maybe after a year of prep, haha!
Deo: Haha yes you should include Pulag in your adventure list. If you want it to be memorable, take the 3-day trail! Major workout for that, though. I heard they opened a longer trail, I'm not sure how long it'll take nga lang.
