Mt. ROMELO CLIMB

It was my first time not to spend the night at home, first time to sleep in a tent in not familiar place and to drink water that i don't know if my stomach will be ok! Together with COSROG Mountaineers we climb Mt. Romelo in Famy, Laguna last November 2008, a night trek.

Weather didn't favor us. It was raining hard that night because there's a typhoon but we must go on, we must pursue our climb in preparation for our major climb on December at Mt. Pulag. I can't remember how many times i fell, how many times I slipped and how many times i said "ayoko na".

Night trek on a bad weather was so hard for first timer like me.  Thanks to the COSROG mountaineers, to sir Chard, to Ma'am Thara, to sir RJ, to sir Banny and to our guide who helped me every time I slipped on a muddy trail.

At last we reached the camp site around 11pm.

We're awaken by the sounds of the branches falling near our tent that sir Chard let us (me and Noreen) use.  When i went out, I was amazed by the beauty of nature. God is really great he created those amazing view on the top of the mountain.  I was amazed by the beauty of the Buruwisan Falls! First time makakita ng falls eh hehehe.  Its hard to go down near the falls.  I need a lot of effort to do it.

Seeing Buruwisan Falls made me feels like I am in the world of fantasy and ready to mingle with the fairies.

Mt. Romelo experience made me appreciate more the beauty of nature, beauty of God's creation.  I can't explain how I feel looking at the falls, the mountain and everything around us.
