Dangerous as it seems, here is one for the books: planking at 400+ MASL. An instant adventure is what happens when you do something risky and over-daring. Taken at one of the rock faces of Mt. Marami with the verdant landscape of Cavite in the background.

August pic(k) of the month
Just look at a rosy sunset, And wonder about running off into his rays. Before sunset, after sunset, There’s the ruddy glow of the sky. And I quote: “Clouds come floating into my life, no longer to carry rain or usher storm, but to add color to my sunset sky.” – Rabindranath Tagore

July pic(k) of the month
July was a lazy month. Save for my foray into a race upgrade at the end of the month, I was mostly an onlooker and cheerleader at the sidelines. I waited and watched like the Matabungkay audience in the photo during a local sports event.

February pic(k) of the month
Mt. Pulag at 2,922 MASL This month was highlighted by my return to where all the madness started. We romanced Luzon’s highest (documented) mountains on this month of love.

December pic(k) of the month
I end the year with hope. I end the year without a plan. I end the year clinging to life as I know it now. “Life is without meaning. You bring meaning to it. The meaning of life is whatever you ascribe it to be. Being alive is the meaning.” ~ Joseph Campbell “Live as […]
