Assault to Mt. Binacayan

Mt. Binacayan is situated at Montalban, Rizal.  It's just 20 minutes away from Marikina (where our place is) with no traffic. My memories of Montalban take me to my childhood days. We used to visit our relatives there. I can still vividly remember how boring it was for me then because all I could see were trees and mountains. When I was a child, my appreciation to mother nature was totally oblivious.  Now that I am an adult, all I could think of is to conquer the 11 mountains of Montalban.

Mt. Cayabu and Mt. Maynuba Traverse Hike

Alarm. 3AM. Shucks! Parang kakatulog ko pa lang! Must be at Cogeo Gate 2 at 4AM! 

Hike bag. Check.
Camera. Check.
Cash. Check.

Okay na. Gusto ko pa sanang mag-kape kaso parang late na.

Taxiiiiiii!!!

Time check - 3:30AM. "Manong, Gate 2 Cogeo, po."  In less than 20 minutes, pag-gising ko, Gate 2 na. Astig! I hope traveling to work is like this.

The Blessed Image in Regina Rica

My family visited our Tita in Tanay, Rizal for her birthday. But, before our sumptuous 'feast', we attended a mass at the Regina RICA.

En route to Puray Falls

When we speak of Montalban, Wawa comes firsts. I wasn't aware that there's such a thing as Puray Falls in the vicinity of Rizal.
