2011: A Recap

If there’s one word that best describes my 2011, it’s definitely EPIC.

I’m too occupied to write a long timeline and so I just compiled photos of my 2011 travels and shenanigans.

January - My second photo walk with The Click Freaks. I remember my pixie cut was starting to grow during this month. (Intramuros, Manila)


I promise to update my blog more often this 2012. #crossedfingers

 

The Evil that is Cristobal

The Ring, Feng Shui, Shutter, The Grudge, and the list goes on.

These are just some of the films I can hardly forget because of the nightmares they caused me after seeing them. Hands down, I easily get scared by films with macabre, gore, and horror as its theme.

I used to believe that ghosts and monsters exist when I was younger. But as you get older, you’ll realize that it’s just YOU who’s creating the images of these strange creatures. I am still afraid though, but less obvious. A big thank you to those people responsible for the successful horror movies I mentioned above.

They say third time’s a charm. Oh, yes for some but not for me. I’ve scaled this mountain thrice and I never experienced anything but fun and amusement of how beautiful nature is on all three occasions.

Gulugod Baboy is pig’s spine in the vernacular and the mountain is name as such because of its shape.  Mount GB, as most mountaineers call it, is one of the favorites in the mountaineering community when it comes to day hikes and massive camping. The campsite is a big playground for all outdoor enthusiasts!

It was just disappointing during our latest visit as I’ve been waiting for it since last month because of the full moon phenomenon. It was all foggy and rain showers never failed to add up to our already dismayed hearts.
