📍Mt. Pulag via Akiki Trail

April 1-2, 2023

Sobrang ganda mo pa din, lalo mo akong napahanga Pulag! Ayos na yung una via Ambangeg Trail pero mas pinalakas ako ng Akiki Trail.

Majestic Sea Of Clouds

Playground of the Gods

The third highest mountain in the Philippines.

Luzon’s highest peak at 2,926 metres (9,600 ft) above sea level.

famous for its "sea of clouds" and the view of the Milky Way Galaxy at dawn, which has attracted many tourists who wish to see the "other-worldly" scenery. The entire mountain is believed to be the home to the tinmongao spirits and is the sacred resting ground of the souls of the Ibaloi people and other ethnic peoples in the area.

This was my first hiking experience and it was a MAJOR HIKE!! I joined a group of amateur mountaineers and met new friends.

We travelled from Manila to Benguet for 10 hours.

This is team that I joined. There is a 3 year old kid, so cute!!!

The hike is thru Ambangeg Trail, the easiest hike. We started hiking at 12pm noon to catch the Sunset and see the sea of clouds. But unfortunately it was raining so hard that time. We still continue to hike. Two groups hiked that time, one is our group that consist of 9 members and the guide and the other group which has 14 members.

The Summit

Mt. Pulag

I went up 2,922 MASL just to see the beauty beneath and above. I was with my friend, Kisha, that time. It was her birthday wish to see the sea of clouds. so I went with her and join a group of hikers. It was both our first time hiking, the beauty of mother earth eventually struck us in awe and the feeling of reaching the summit makes it even more awesome. 

They say in churches if you went in there for the first time you may make a wish and it’ll come true. For me the beauty of the surroundings made me feel closer to God, a beautiful scenery that you may only see and enjoy if you strive hard. Above all the problems I left in the city I wished for blessings in life. :)

I never did expect it would come soon enough. 

Ascent to the summit isn’t easy, you’ll feel hot even though it is cold, you’ll feel breathing pressures, the trail sometimes isn’t too good and is slippery, you’ll fall, your bag will weigh more every time you get tired and water is a necessity. 

The hardship I came I across during the climb is the same as love came to me.

It was not easy, a lot of things happened before we’ve sorted it out, but one thing for sure I know that I liked and love you for who you are. I’ve described how I met you again in my third (3rd) entry. :)

I have been used to the single life. I wasn’t looking for someone. I was just happy with my family and friends that time. meeting you again was like meeting my old friend whom I wasn’t that close but has enough foundation to build a better relationship.

God may give us a lot of challenges in our journey but I know his plan for us will always lead us in a better place.:

I love you Baby! Always and Forever!:) Happy 19th Monthsary!:)
