Tales of the missing ( Mt. Mabilog Jun 2010)



It was a good hike with only one stop on the final turn before the assault. At the summit, after pitching my hammock and laid-on for suppose to be a quick rest when I noticed my cellphone con camera is gone inside my trekking shorts' left side pocket. Oooops!!!

Immediately we descended. And while on our way down, my buddy on several times dialed my number to hopefully locate the lost cellphone on the bushy trail. While approaching the site of our rest stop I heard my cellphone rang. Bingo!

And down we went to conclude our quick Mt. Mabilog hike. Uwian na. I was about to start our ride's engine when my buddy couldn't find his newly purchased Spyder shades inside his rucksack. Ooooohhhh.....
Okay, so we went back to look for it, siyempre.

First approach...ligaw. Next approach...ligaw!!!! he he he....bakit kaya?? Kain muna tayo..parang gutom na kasi tayo kaya ganyan... While eating....."hindi naman pala tayo naliligaw..............kelangan lang daanan natin ang exact trail na nilampasan natin kanina. O, wag ka na magdahilan......aminin mo.....tinatamad ka na lang bumalik bwaha ha ha ha.......

So there we were trying to find a lost tiny object in the immense vegetation of a large paradise. Sana...pwede rin matawagan ang sunglasses para madali namin ma-track down :)

"Pahinga ulit tayo! Ang init na....kokonti na ang tubig natin......" Uuuuy, ano yan, ha? "Saging, nakuha ko sa daan. Gusto mo?" "Ayoko", I replied. "Sana buko na lang...." And while praying for a refreshing buko hunting treat, nagkatotoo nga! Ayun, ang daming buko na hindi matataas ang mga puno! Sugod!!!!!!!
Nenenenenok, nenok,nenok.....ahhhhhh.......ang sarap......!

Lika na, alas dos na! masyado na tayong natagalan dito. And so we moved on. After several minutes, while finding our way to the last turn towads the summit assault...a pomelo tree. Hmmmmm......."pwede na 'to" and so I got one and proceeded to the assault trail while holding a dear pomelo. "I stay here, you go and track down your shades towards the summit. It's just ten minutes from here". I sat down, grabbed the pomelo and peeled it. When i'ts done...kakainin ko na rin bah!!! Yey!!!!!!

Several minutes later, eto na siya. "Nakuha mo?" "Hindi eh, he replied". "Ganon? And still I encouraged my buddy to keep the faith, I said..." siguro, nandyan lang yan sa dinaanan natin pabalik....lika, hanapin natin". And so we went. After less than a kilometer hike...."pomelo na naman!!!" "Ano ba? lika, kuha ulit tayo.......kain ulit tayo, konti lang nakain mo kanina eh. Naku, mas hinog ang mga ito!"

"Ang sarap". We had 3 good pomelos inside our stomach. And so down we went again.....thenafter, a scream...."ayun!!!! ha ha....huli ka!" And so the spyder shades was found. Great!

Habang naglalakad.."sana, langka naman...o santol kaya..."
Ayan na nga ang santol! Sino ang aakyat? ayaw sumagot ng kasama ko...he he he...so, walang aakyat, tara na nga lang!

On our way back, there were enormous "bignays" and "kalumpit" to supposedly fill our cravings but no, they cannot be accommodated though. We had enough of the pomelo.

To cut the story short....the hike was exciting and fun. Ang sarap talaga pag summer.....ramdam mo ang mga biyaya ng kabundukan. Pagkain ng kaisipan at kalusugan, pag summer.....pati na rin ng tiyan!
