I'm posting some of our pictures during our two-day Mt.Taripis-Mt. Loboc adventure, 1400 ft and around 900 respectively. That was exactly two weeks ago but had no time to post em' here until today. Yes, I was busy with school. And sorry if the images are too small. I have to resize them to fit here.

Unfortunately we were not able take some pictures inside the underground river/ cave, whatever you call that.

Okay so I retract my previous post regarding Pidoy running for a Senate seat.

I just learned that he's in truth running for the position of President.

Holy Cow. What's up with this man?

Here's for the complete list of those who officially filed for COC.
COMPLETE LIST. YES YOU'LL FIND PIDOY'S NAME IN THERE!

Rodelio Pidoy for Senator

2009-12-02T00:27:00.000-08:00

I'm voting for this man. No kidding.

Rodelio Pidoy, University of the Philippines Visayas alumnus, Batch 2009. The man who can alter weather patterns and plant a million trees in a minute.

He's not weird. He's a genius.

Advice to Beginners

2009-11-02T21:37:00.000-08:00

Begin. Keep on beginning. Nibble on everything.

Take a hike. Teach yourself to whistle. Lie.

The older you get the more they'll waant your stories.

Make them up. Talk to stones. Short-out electric

fences. Swim with the sea turtle into the moon. Learn

how to die. Eat moonshine pie. Drink wild geranium

tea. Run naked in the rain. Everything that happens

will happen and none of us will be safe from it.

Pull up anchors. Sit close to the god of night.

Lie still in a stream and breathe water. Climb to the top

of the highest tree until you come to the branch

where the blue heron sleeps. Eat poems for breakfast.

Wear them on your forehead. Lick the mountain's

bare shoulder. Measure the color of days

around your mother's death. Put your hands

over your face and listen to what they tell you.

Blog till you run out of anything to say.
