ROAD TRIP

 
So I posted earlier that I want to go wanderlust-slash-soul-searching-kuno beginning next month but guess what? My libido for going out and about was on full swing a little after 2:00PM I decided to pack my things and just go. BOOM.

 
Deep in the forest and up in the mountains. That was what I had in mind.




I have been living in Sta. Rosa, Laguna since forever. Part of me wants to go and live somewhere but part of me wants to stay. I don’t know about you guys but this dirty south has got almost everything I want. I live just a few kembots from Enchanted Kingdom, Paseo, Nuvali, Pansol, and bus/van terminals going to Alabang, Cubao, Tagaytay and Batangas. Streetfood stalls that serve deep fried isaw, the ever so popular kwek-kwek, fishballs and all-the-balls-you-can-imagine, and our pambato ng Sta.Rosa, proben, are just a stone throw away. (I’ll share some photos soon!)

 


Anyway, to keep this post short, I decided to go to Makiling to take a quick day hike to Peak 2 and konting sidetrip to mudspring. I can’t remember the last time I visited Mt. Makiling - it may have been more than 10 or 15 years already!
  

I reached their registration site at around 3:30PM and was advised that cut off time to visit Peak 2 and Mudspring is 2:00PM only. FUCKER. I met other visitors and they were just as disappointed as I was - but they were kind enough to invite me to go swimming instead!

We went to one of the many hot spring resorts and had a relaxing kwentuhan and konting inuman session. Too bad I wasn’t able to get their phone numbers - or take pictures!

Even if my original plan didn’t go that well, at least I was able to experience something else - something I’d say na much better than what I expected. To be honest, first time ko mag drive sa Los Banos mag-isa. I met wonderful people and I’m sure I’d get to see them again on my next adventure.

Just like what I said on my previous post:

 

“Pack your things. Take that long bus ride. Experience new things. Meet other people. Sacrifice a little. Let the booze kick in. Be crazy and wild. Go solo because YOLO.

Afterall, the journey is the destination”
