  • July pic(k) of the month

    PSE at 20. Twenty years. For a little over a quarter of that, I have been with the Exchange. Straight out of university, my world at the Exchange is the only sense of professional work I got accustomed to. To breaking record highs and exponentially increasing trading activity; to making money work and helping the…

  • An epic dayhike

    At 2,058 MASL, the mighty Guiting-Guiting may not be the highest I have summitted but it is by far the longest I have ever traversed in a “day”. Usually a 2- to 3-day itinerary (on the climb alone), we opted to do a dayhike as a challenge to ourselves and since primarily, as a prolific…

  • Of sandy beaches in a remote resort

    The white expanse of fine sand stretches a good hundreds of meters from the water’s edge. No exaggeration when it comes to the beaches of Cagbalete. At low tide, it stretches too far out that swimming in the clear blue waters of the Pacific will be fruitless. It makes for a lovely lounging spot though.…

  • Flat tops

    The Pinagpatong Rocks form part of the Masungi Rock Formations which lie along the Sierra Madre Mountain Range. Located in Barangay Cuyambay in Tanay, Rizal, the rock formations occupy a vast portion of the barangay’s greenery. Easily seen from the main highway, there are two points to reach the rock formations. The more popular of…

  • June pic(k) of the month

    This month, I added a life event in a serious mountaineer’s timeline: Guiting-Guiting. Dayhike – traverse – 22 hours. His awesome creation; superb views; fantastic weather.

  • Above the clouds

    This was where all the madness started. I fell in love with the mountains. And they loved me back. Mt. Pulag stands at 2,922 MASL and is the highest peak in Luzon. Known for its picturesque cloud formations when atop the summit (dubbed as the “sea of clouds”) and for temperatures dropping to minus 0…

  • May pic(k) of the month

    Dawn, sunrise, daybreak: ah Morning. Here’s a thought to ponder on: “Sunrise offered a very beautiful spectacle; the water was quite unruffled, but the motion communicated by the tides was so great that, although there was not a breath of air stirring, the sea heaved slowly with a grand and majestic motion.” – George Grey

  • April pic(k) of the month

    Summer. Ah, a field of late summer blooms. Show-stopping, abundant beauties that worship the hot season; Multicolored flowers that lead the way on a summer walk; Solid and breathtaking, the ones that brighten in the sunshine. My field of summer blooms.

  • March pic(k) of the month

    I hope your dreams take you to the corners of your smiles, to the highest of your hopes, to the windows of your opportunities, and to the most special places your heart has ever known. ~Author Unknown School may be over, but as they say, graduation is not the end; it’s the beginning. Enjoy the…

  • Ashed yet stoked

    Blessed with fair weather, the weekend trip to Mt. Pinatubo and its famous crater lake was yet another open invitation to sunburn and the occasional heat stroke. Intensified by the desert-like terrain covered in volcanic ash, the heat struck harshly as the sun rose to its midday glory. The Pinatubo experience starts with a 4×4…
