tanay trekking

6 kilometers of rocky, muddy, downhill slope.
NINE rivers.
12 heavy donation boxes.

= the best adventure ever! :)

just the thought of trekking makes me tired... but nothing compares to the stress of actually doing it... :)

as part of our pastoral action in theo class, our 'frat' had to go to barangay laiban (a community located at the foot of some mountain in tanay) to do some outreach in partnership with our school's Environmental Studies Institute.

it took us an hour's drive to tanay then 5 hours down to baranggay laiban. we had to cross 9 rivers and about 6 kilometers of downhill slope to reach the place. we even had our lunch at the 6th river if i'm not mistaken.

super daming bata dun sa community. more than 80 kids ata un. seeing the smile on their faces as we played with them was the best consolation to our tired bodies. we left the place at 4pm and it was the best jeepney ride. literal na bigfoot ung tires ng jeep haha. para kang nasa "Realto" pag dumadaan ung jeep sa ilog haha :)

sir francis and sir mon are the best trekking masters. super fun kasama and super bait. they even treated us to fudge sundaes after the trip.

super bonding. :)

i wouldn't trade this experience for anything else. till the next adventure. :)

* halata bang ang hilig kong mag-'super'! haha :)
