Mt. Batulao February 19, 2015 

It's nice to be back :)

Team Bucket is back....

Mt. Batulao February 19, 2015. It's Chinese New Year Holiday from work, we grabbed the opportunity to hike.   

At 4:00 am we met at Tayuman Jollibee  going to Buendia Bus Station. 

Look for sign board Nasugbu-Lemery Batangas, and we inform the conductor Mt. Batulao.

At 7:00AM  they drop us in Ever Crest Golf Course from the moment we touchdown Ever Crest I felt the cool breeze of air. 

wahhhh.... it's really good in the feeling a bit cold and from there we've seen a house pay toilet for Php 5.00. We eat our breakfast in the Karinderia before start to go in jump off. 

We rode tricycle going to jump off it cost us Php 25.00 per person. When we reached the jump off there are kids offering being a tour guide and selling a stick that you can use when hiking.

We bought two sticks one for Joy and one for Veronica its Php 25.00 pesos each.

Before trek we had a short Prayer.

Ready for the trek at the jump off

Guiller, Joy, Veng and Me fresh from the start hahaha.

The couple walking in the isle haha :)

Every house we passed by they are selling Buko Juice which is affordable Php 10 pesos

First stop "bili na po kayo ng buko juice ." :)

walk..... walk..... until we reached the second house where we take rest for a bit.

Finally station 1 here :)

Resume hiking.,,, expect more thirst quencher buko juice..... in every house we passed by.

It's always good to talk have some laugh while walking even when you were talking is behind you hahaha... I did enjoy this hike.. no big rocks to climb its just a smooth.

It's like "Gulong ng palad, Minsan nasa taas minsan nasa baba" wahhh may pinag huhugutang malamin... 

See That that's the one I'm pertaining to you guys like "gulong ng palad ":)

Seeing Mt. Batulao made me excited, I like this Mountain you can see the tall grass where so green and when the winds blew wahhhhh ang saya sarap tignan I feel like I'm in paradise with these beautiful grass being blown by the winds made them sway.....

rest..... rest... need more strength :)

Were getting close.. that part of mountain makes our bone chilled ...

This time we are serious no picture taking in this site because its too dangerous we have to face the wall and we had rappelling, always be careful, other told us to be slowly but surely and we did it. we knock it down the "face the wall"

Crawl like a baby hahaha.  

In this area there is a rock need to be slowly but surely, any mistake step you make will make your life in danger...

Relationship is not about AGE.
Not about DISTANCE .
Not about communicating each other everyday.
What important most is: TRUST & LOYALTY ..
The Trust of Girl to her Man,
 the LOYALTY of Man to his Girl.. 

The Old Trail


At 1:00pm  we decide to go down. from new to old trail so we went down using the old trail which is easy. near the peak there is rappelling going down, we waited the others to go down first. It took us maybe 30 mins waiting for our turn, there is only one rope you can use going down and going up.

The sky turn gray the blow of the winds is cold. 

Old trail excited to see what's on this trail. 

Joy doing the rappelling :)

There if thick fog when the rain start falling.

After the rain the fog was gone too. and we continue descending we're careful because the soil and rocks are slippery.

I'm ahead of them so i decided to take picture :D 

You so far and yet you so close :D ano daw??? :D hahaha 

Prenup Picture of Joy and Guiller Mt. Batulao hahaha :D 

We had our lunch break, on our way we saw a house where we can take launch and rest before continuing our walk.

Getting Closer

Old trail is the easiest way than the new trail, its good that we experience both trail and we saw what was on this both trail. It took us 3 hours and 30 mins going down and reach the jump off from there, we rode tricycle to Ever Crest Golf Course. We cleaned , there were house across the street you can rent there rest room just pay Php 25. from there you can also see bus passing by.
