Cinco Picos and Silanguin Traverse

Never got to Peak Two but it was a hell of a hike, literally.

I tried to stay in the middle of the group as I usually tend to up the pace and leave the gang complaining with their tongue out panting haha  Couldn't help but go ahead when there was limited shade already.  I feel guilty leaving the group at times but I don't wanna end up drained and be the one dragging the group.

I always say sorry and they understand.  These guys are so cool and they'd still have me in their next climb!

Review: Ready Player One

Ready Player One by Ernest Cline
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I had fun making my own playlist and cross-referencing geeky online stuff while reading the book.

People who live in glass houses should shut the f*ck up. p23

No one in the world ever gets what they want and that is beautiful. p199

I was afraid, for all of my life. Right up until I knew it was ending. That was when I realized, as terrifying and painful reality can be, it's the only place when you can find true happiness. Because reality is real. p364

I watched the movie expecting it to be of different storyline than the book.  Boy am I glad I had the right mindset otherwise I wouldn't have felt frustrated by the end of the flick.  I understand you can only squeeze so much details from the book and admittedly I was only able to spot a few among countless easter eggs in it.  Not a big fan of Iron Giant and would've cheered more for Ultraman.  For my lack of imagination, I did like the avatars of the High Five.

Gearing towards Architect path.  I hope the bosses will approve the rest.

Nagsasa Cove Camping

Some Panos I hope would inspire you to checkout this gorgeous cove in Pandaquit, Zambales

Facing the campsite, to the far left is the ideal site to pitch a tent if you want isolation.

Center of the beach, part of the campsite where we stayed overnight.  There are about ten or so camps you may choose, I have yet to check the facilities of the other camps but should I go back I might stay at All Blue Resort.

The stream/lake where we hanged out after our morning hike.

The beach view from where we camped.

Thirty or so minutes hike to get this view of the cove.


We are a group of 7 adults and 4 kids (2 of which are billed as adults already). A big outrigger boat was hired for P400/pax. Overnight camping rate is P130/pax, a small cottage with night light will cost you P400. We brought our own tents complete with minifans and comforter (for the kids).
