goals for the year 2009(updates)

almost 1 month na lang tapos na naman ang taon. 2010 na. magpropropose na naman ako ng "goals for the year", gaya nung isang taon. nakalimutan ko ng mag-by-quarterly updates dahil medyo naging busy o marami kasing nangyari nung third at simula ng last quarter ng taon. isa-isahin natin:

ondoy's onslaught (sept.26, 2009, sat)
- ito na siguro ang pinakagrabeng bahang naranasan ko. umabot sa 5ft ang taas ng tubig sa loob mismo ng bahay namin. nalubog at nabasa ang halos lahat ng gamit namin at nag-evacuate kaming buong pamilya sa mataas na bahay ng kapit-bahay. maraming salamat sa kanila. mabuti na lang at walang masamang nangyari sa amin o sa mga kapitbahay. swerte pa rin.

money
- as usual, parang pitaka ang atm account ko. wala pa rin akong naiipon. maliban lang sa naipon ko sa "coin bank" na nagastos ko na rin..hehe! ano na nga ba yung nabili ko sa na-save kong yon? di ko na maalala..hehe! nag-loan ako sa office na pambili ng computer parts na sinira ni ondoy. kaya sigurado at dapat na tipid/kuripot/buraot mode ako ngayong last quarter at next year. first major climb ko sa mt.pulag sa jan.2-4, 2010. iyon ang pinakamalamig na parte sa pilipinas, kaya kailangan kong mag-invest ng gamit para sa climb na 'yon.

career
- lately, na-assign ako sa Facebook Application Development. medyo natuwa at nalibang ako kasi kahit papaano may bago akong natututunan. pero open pa rin ako sa idea ng paghahanap ng bagong work. hangga't maaari yung malapit na sa san mateo at medyo malaki ang sweldo..hehe!

spiritual
- no comment..as usual..

health
- medyo iniiwas-iwasan ko na ang pag-inom which is good para sa health at para sa bulsa, hehe. pero ganon pa rin yung dami ng stick ng yosi na nauubos ko sa isang araw. pero masasabi ko pa rin na di ako chain smoker. ok na rin at nagiging active na ulit ang CSL Packers sa mga hiking.

love
- naka-tatlong date(s) ako, kung date nga bang maituturing yung isa..hehe! hindi na masama. hehe!

hobbies
- dahil medyo nag-uulan at napadalas ang bisita ng mga bagyo sa luzon nung third at sa simula ng last quarter, ay naglie-low muna ang csl packers sa mga climb. pero nung oct.24, nag-dayhike kami nila ace sa mt.batulao. yun pa lang ang masasabi ko na magandang nangyari sa simula ng last quarter. at sa wakas ay mukhang tuloy na yuloy na ang mt.pulag expedition namin sa jan.2-4, 2010. bago yun, magkakaroon ng series ng minor climb, practice climb para di naman kami mabigla sa mt.pulag. maka-2 climb sana kami bago mag-pulag.

other/s:
- di pa rin ako nakakabili ng acoustic guitar..hehe. pero next year, bibili na talaga ako.
- wala pa rin akong DSLR, mahal e.
- di ko pa rin sineryoso ang pagmomotor bike. pero magpapractice na ako dahil malamang, iyon na ang maging mode of transportation ko.
- on-going ang pagsulat ko ng mga kanta (with chords) sa inuman notebook2.
- di ko pa nagagawa ang pamosong chains na gawa sa softdrinks in can tabs, pero ang dami ko ng naiipon na tabs.
- napagtripan ko palang bumili at basahin ang lahat ng libro ni bob ong (ABNKKBSNPLKo!, Bakit Baligtad Magbasa ng Libro Ang Mga Pilipino?, Ang Paboritong Libro ni Hudas, Alamat ng Gubat, Stainless Longganisa, MACARTHUR at Kapitan Sino). kasalukuyan kong binabasa yung pinakabago, kapitan sino. nasa kalahati palang ako. tingin ko matatapos ko yun bago magpasko. wag lang akong tatamarin..hehe!

CSL Packers 101: Mt.Batulao Dayhike

Latest News

one of the mountain i really loved to climb is mt.batulao. 2003 when i first climbed mt.batulao with my college buddies and it was a great climb.

in preparation for their first major climb (on mt.isarog), ace york planned this climb and tag along his friend, michellet. october 24, we were blessed of a good weather condition because lately thypoons visit philippines on a weekly basis. we got a chance to visit this wonderful place again. I almost forgot the trail so we secure a service of a guide. "super erwin", our 10 year old boy-guide lead us all the way. i really liked this kid and he even run on the steepest part of the trail.

although it was only a day hike, i really enjoyed the whole climb. on the way to the summit (station 10), we took the old trail. had our lunch on station 7 and did the summit assault afterwards. this part of the climb was really i like the most. you literally have to crawl on this steep parts of this trail. this will test your knees and your stamina. the view on the summit was so wonderful and rewarding. going down, we took the new trail. and reward ourselves with hot and delicious bulalo at leslies in tagaytay. wow! what a wonderful way to end an exciting climb.
