PINATUBO ADVENTURE 2015

When we decided to go on a trekking trip, we were so confident to take on the challenge, that on the morning of December 6, 2015 at 4:45 AM, everyone was still lying down and tucked in their blankets, still in their sleeping wear and half-wishing that the rain wouldn't stop just yet so we can just cancel the trip. Hahaha! But when our tour guide called saying that they are just 10 minutes away, without batting an eyelash, everyone was up on their feet and all set. Now, that was even faster than the power rangers morphing. Lol! 

I'll probably go into the deets of this trip on another post because I'm just typing this out while queueing at the gate for boarding (coz, me going home again! haha), but let me share with you a few unsolicited tips from trekker wanna be's like us.

Here's a short list of how we conquered Mount Pinatubo: 

1. Tried to have enough sleep after an almost sleepless night the night before that. 

2. Wearing the correct footwear. 

3. Havinh an awesome playlist! Our includes the following: JUSTIN BIEBER. the BIEBS. JBIEBS. BIEBS. JB -- and his whole album that we think has only one song in it.

and most importantly .. 

4. Yes, mainit, malagkit, nakakapagod, nakakatamad, nakaka-uhaw .. but with the company of non-bitchy, adventure-crazy and fun-loving people .. it will all be worth it! 

oh and of course 

5. Bringing along your videographer friend to document all the awesomeness! 

Watch watch! A Vanessa Calica masterpiece, starring 8 of the most convincing trekker wanna-bes!
