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....
