Mt. Danglay has been a dream climb of mine for as long as I can remember. She sits right across the Cantabato Bay which divides the two islands of Leyte and Samar. For the most part, she's hard to miss. Sometime 2015, I finally had the pleasure of finally climbing her . I hope this… Continue Reading →
A couple of months back I was lucky enough to get an invite to the opening of the first Deuter concept store in Cebu City. A concept store opening is already exciting news but for those already brand aware of Deuter, this was something special and more. Getting A Deuter I first learned about Deuter… Continue Reading →
Largely unknown to the mountaineering community in the country, Mount Danglay is a reverberating call to summit for mountaineers and hikers within the nearby localities of Tacloban and Basey, Samar. She is a sight to behold; filling a panoramic frame of a busy city port in stark contrast to the still waters of Cancabato Bay… Continue Reading →
This is part 2 of 2 of our Mt. APO expedition climb log. Read part 1 here, Climbing Mt APO, Our Turn Morning at the Summit Morning wasn't any better and waking up to the cold weather seemed as if time had stood still to when we first arrived. Absent was the soothing warmth of… Continue Reading →
Last week I visited Tacloban to help out with the communal garden project of Bayanihan Tayo and to celebrate the birthday of my mother without any idea that it has been a 100 days since the typhoon. And while the city has been cleaned up to some extent, everything else has been slowly picking up… Continue Reading →
Last October 15, 2013 at 8:12 A.M, a 7.2 magnitude earthquake struck the Bohol and affected even the Cebu Province which is hundreds of kilometres away. 222 were reported dead, 8 were missing, and 976 people were injured. In all, nearly 69 thousand structures were damaged or destroyed. It was the deadliest earthquake in the… Continue Reading →
Welcome to phMUD! After 2 years or so of putting up with difficult personalities at RavenMUD, Bathala* and myself are spearheading the transition of all Coven players to a realm which we finally can call our own. Though bitter sweet, it is a move necessary to put into motion the changes that are needed to… Continue Reading →
A couple of years back which now feels like a millennia ago, I was off for vacation to the Luzon mainland and about to take my first plane flight. I was also travelling alone. A little bit naive more than I am today, the thought of not knowing how to buckle the safety belt, in… Continue Reading →
Our Mt APO summit bid, our 2nd major climb for this year 2013, was laid out as early as December of 2012 and was organized by our outgoing Club President, Teresa. The plan was simple really, get promo fares while enduring the 6 month wait, get some activities done for the club and, well, climb… Continue Reading →
Yes, Singapore is awesome. I just to say that immediately. *grin*. Truth be told, I've never been to any country outside the Philippines prior to this. Travel seem such a big state of unnecessary affairs. I think men in general think like that. Add the fact that I've also never wanted to leave the country.… Continue Reading →

Keep at it my friend So we just climbed MT. APO via the Kapatagan - Kidawapan trail a few weeks back, the second major climb for MALAKAT Outdoors this 2013 among our usual climb sorties. I wrote a partial climb log here and I might publish the rest of it here. We'll see how it… Continue Reading →
I liken the feeling of getting gifts and surprises as this photo. I hope we made children happy that day. - The sunrise at Osmena Peak. The views from Osmena Peak are as picturesque as any and being the highest point in the Cebu Province makes it a hotbed for campers and trekkers all year… Continue Reading →
School Year 2013-2014 opens this June 3 and for the less fortunate children of the highlands, this means another year of scrimping on paper, borrowing pens, and no notebooks to write on. It's a sad story. But we can help. This June 8 & 9, we are going to donate pens, papers, and bags to… Continue Reading →
The first of many gates. The Nine Gates to Hell is an area created by Lilis and Kurse in the RavenMUD realm which features a lot of loops between rooms while death traps abound. Considered as one of the more harder areas to run before the purge, nowadays can be soloed by the veteran necromancers… Continue Reading →
The moon during the night. Interestingly, this is what the orbs looked like. If you haven't read the first part I suggest that you do first. Read it here, Mt. Lantoy, a ghost story Evening The rain didn't hold back forcing us to huddle inside Rain's tent. Manoy Rodel and our other guide decided to… Continue Reading →
When I'm away I look forward to the moment when we could finally be together. For some reason, you brush on me those urges of being happy. The happy child as you say yourself. And I need those, you know I do because you see that in me. An example, at times where I would… Continue Reading →
Over a year ago our club decided to climb Mt. Lantoy . This is part 1 of my account of that fateful climb. A climb all of us will never forget. I remember with difficulty the events during the morning of March 3, 2012. Somehow my memory fails me on this regard which I attribute… Continue Reading →

This is the 1st of 2 parts of my account for our Tres Marias expedition last January 26-27, 2013 in Naval, Biliran Island. Both our major and year opener climb of the same year. Our initial group was composed of at least 15 but dwindled down to 9 during the actual climb. Carlo and Odessa… Continue Reading →
I've been meaning to write more lately and the hardest part is always about getting past writing four lines at most. At some point I feel that I fail myself particularly with the fleeting instances of a light-bulb moment. The worst part, is half believing that I failed myself and the wonderful girl who deserves… Continue Reading →
Photo Credit: Ronnie Muring With our last climb at Sirao Peak (also known as Kan-irag Peak ), last April 21-22, 2012 I was hard pressed to finish an itinerary to set the climb in order. I culled a number of itineraries, which were scarce, over the internet which I then adjusted as necessary. Abriella in… Continue Reading →
Mei2 at Sirao Peak. I would say, and I might always, that I do not conquer mountains nor peaks for they are not my enemies, instead I befriend them as I feel no more at home when I summit them. Then they welcome me with the grandeur of what I have overcome to have visited… Continue Reading →

This is part of 2 of 3 of my climb log for Mt Kanlaon. Read part 1 here, My Mt. Kanlaon Climb Day 2 05:30AM Wakeup call. I slept like a baby throughout but still felt my 8 hours of sleep was insufficient. Warm sun rays greeted us through the cold morning mist foretelling good… Continue Reading →
Before the sun was given her path, before the moon was set to motion, before time received her wings, before rain fell, before blood flowed, before lands were wrought, before stars shown, the seed of aggression was planted in the world. Aggression plays a role in everything known and unknown. The seed that is his… Continue Reading →
Aggression the Death Knight After taking a breath to gather yourself you look back at him, he's no longer looking at you. He is humanoid. And dressed for battle. He moves quickly, decisively. You think you hear screaming, a terrible screaming. As if one, no, many, are screaming out for something. But it's worse than… Continue Reading →
Aggression, the Death Knight You snap to! You realize you were dreaming yet awake! Where did that story come from? You open your eyes to see the being before you speaking to you. He coldly continues... "When all the societies were reborn the spirit of Aggression had coalesced into a sentient being. It scoured the… Continue Reading →
Aerial View of Mt. Kanlaon http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7108/7038550515_c1d4110be2_o.jpg Alot has put into writing about Kanlaon, most of which aptly describes as how the Mountain Volcano presents itself to the mountaineer. Mine was that of good weather, spectacular views and a relatively easy climb in spite of the usual bruises, cuts and thankfully, only a minor sprain on… Continue Reading →

In preparation for our upcoming Mount Kanlaon climb this October 29, I would have to have a multi day pack of quality build. This meant doing away with my trusty North Face Wavelength Backpack for another pack. The North Face packs of this kind range around the 5 digit mark so that was out of… Continue Reading →
Shou-Lin priests are masters of the maspectial aspects. They really don't believe in the use of weapons, but needing a form of self defense, they have learned to use their own body as a lethal weapon in time of trouble. Due to their lifestyle they are very nimble, but the hardships they must endure for… Continue Reading →

We recently decided to add a room to our clan hall and I volunteered myself without hesitation. I wanted the room to draw a feeling of leaving the pond and coming to an area without giving away that this was where our lockers are stored. There are a few references to the Coven in it… Continue Reading →
Everything has been whirlwind since my last post. It figures right, some blogs are not to be maintained. Not this one though, no. This serves as my pad of notes ( for lack of a better word ) or space if you will. Alot of things have happened since then - in RL of course.… Continue Reading →
I think the Philippines clearly deserve Benigno 'Noynoy' Aquino III as our new President. Not because of his track record nor his capacity to govern but rather because the majority of our brothers and sisters thought he was better than the rest. The fact that Joseph Estrada came in 2nd further fixates my belief that… Continue Reading →
I think Cocolare is one of the better writers found in the internet ( not that I know of many ) but I like her. She reminds me of Tals Diaz who wrote mostly on indie subjects which gave her readers a perspective on living life and its color. Cocolare on the other hand resonates… Continue Reading →
Life will break you. Nobody can protect you from that, and living alone won’t either, for solitude will also break you with its yearning. You have to love. You have to feel. It is the reason you are here on earth. You are here to risk your heart. You are here to be swallowed up.… Continue Reading →
