The Batulao Climb was good...Saturday I went to work with my backpack with doll(elo)...work work work...then lunch out with doll...at lunch time i left my phone at silent mode...my a job in my application abended..thus i was needed...m coleague called me 6 times..damn...read it at 115..so went straight to work...my team lead was already on line...i was prepared for the wrong i did have to face it...i asked my secondary that day that i will have a lunch out..but she is going out too...the job abended at 12:30...they tried to call me..my phone was silent...6 missed call...oh im doomed...well it turned out we lose almost an hour because of this...lesson learned...dont leave your things unattended...heheheWent to buendia with doll for she will be goin home to Bulacan, ate the standard wendy's and wait for a while...then went with elo to the LRT station...they came Didith, JOnathan, Jun, Jeffron and his GF. Went to Pasay Crow Staion because there's no Nasugbu destinated bus in buendia. Left for manila around 630Pm..reached Evercrest around 830-9Pm started trecking, registered..snaps and flash...treking continue...the bad thing was no one of us have been to this mountain so all of us were clueless...good thing we met a boy in the trail he's from don bosco makati taking up vocational course...he guided us 'till their house which is along the road and our trail. Then when he said his goodbye were stuck to this banched road...then this boy named vergel came to the rescue...the locals there tried to guide the new climbers for a little amount they can give...freely. Resumed trek and lighted by the still more than half moon te vista shown were magnificent even the mountain were trying to conquer...no great events during the treck...except Didith twisted her toe which hurts her in the morning...we reached the capsite around 12 midnight...because of the raindrops we decided to stay in camp 1 though there were still many capmsites ahead...had our dinner chicken for them and pasta with pesto sauce and parmesan for me. Social with el Hombre lime and snacks...finsihed drinking around 230Am and slept. Wake around 7Am and started to prepare breakfast. at 830-9 we decided to leave our tents and assault mt batulao. Because there were few trees we had a hard time...scorching sun beat our backs drained our strength. Didith decided to be left behind in camp 7. Her back ached again...its her problem for quite some times as diagnosed by the doctor...lateral scoliosis. We reached the top at 11am and the statue of virgin mary was there along with memorabilias of the previous climber that they left; necklaces, bracelets, comb, Shuttlecock!, candies, scarf, broken speaker, and many odd things. Jun left a mars chocobar at teh foot of the statue. Was thinking what can i leave there but i've decided to be satisfied by a picture with the stone. We started to decend around 12PM and reached the highway around 230Pm. Have our lunch at a carinderia across the evercrest subdivision. Opened my can of tuna and ordered some rice. Cleaned ourselves, some bathed. But i just used some soap to wash my arms face and legs...we waited for a while along the road then the bus came....

Simple Mr Aquino(man in short jeans and blue shirt) Montanara Owner


The winners and commitee




The guests and participants of 1st montanara natural rock climbing competition

OCt 24...1st Montanara Nature Rock Climbing Competition for beginners. Most my outdoor friends were there...Toby's bagged 2 bronze for women's division, the fastest man was from Pilipinas Sierra's friend one of the twin. 35 sec...damn good thing i did not join heheheh...well i am a beginner but i already know the route to be climb...thus i can have some advantage...but realizing i cant make it at 35 sec..he was so good...ala spiderman...i helped belaying and checking harnesses..etc...i got a sandals give away form montanara...I was with toby's group when we went there and we passed AVILON zoo good thing the guard on duty was a good man and allowed us just to park inside and roam in the front area "only" we had some brochures and seen a BIG FISH named ARA...then went straight to GB1 with my backpack to see the last film for the german film fest bella martha

Oct 23...TPTS Party...but i cant come...im broke...so broke...I tried to make my self happy by watching a 50Ph film of German Film Festival... run, lola run (Lola Rennt) a mixed media film that i loved so much for the different ways that the film was presented...good for those who are dreaming to be a film maker like me...just a dream though...by the way lola was the leading lady of Matt damon in Bourne's Series(Identity and Supremacy)

HMMM thursday watched la otro lado de la cama(the other side of the bed) starred by Paz Vega Direksion Emilio Martinez Lazaro with Elo...wonderful film...our best choice for this Film Fest.

Yesterday watched Smoking room at 7PM alone...dragging film but funny cause its about the smoker's rights for a small place just to smoke. Full of philosophical lines but being Spanish that i cant understand...i was left at the mercy of the translation...which sometimes i can see that there were a lot of talking going on but it just translated to a sentence or two...stories like this which were run not by physical causality but by the mind and sudden action cant be judged fairly by translation only.
At 930Pm Elo came and eat our usual dinner when watching film in GB1. Salad and fries and Iced tea of Wendys..."800 Balas" a two hour film which was a flick for western movies...that im surprised to hear that "El Cid" was also film there in Almeria,Spain A Western Hollywood...Elo hated it at the last part for the protagonist died...well the movie at first looks like a low budget film...but then i was indeed felt that i was entertained by this film...not a blockbuster type but a good weekday ender!

Now BACK TO WORK!!!!!Its Saturday for the whole philippines but its just friday for our team!

Im not well read, but when i read, i read well---Kurt Cobain

El caballero don Quijote In 1991, Gutiérrez Aragón already directed the TV adaptation of El Quijote, portraying the story of the eccentric knight. In this full length film he successfully works with actor Juan Luis Galiardo producing a great version of the classic novel. Manuel Gutiérrez Aragón 117 min Knight Errant


La primera noche A heartfelt and moving story about two Colombian peasants, Toño and Paulina, who are displaced from their land, a remote woodland where they have spent their childhood and youth. Brutally thrust onto the streets of a strange, large and ruthless city, they attempt to start a new life, but are faced with the nightmares of disillusionment and despair. In LA PRIMERA NOCHE, Luis Alberto Restrepo tackles the difficult subject of the recent history of violence and forced displacement Colombia is facing.
