"Go outside, to the fields, enjoy nature and the sunshine, 

go out and try to recapture happiness in yourself and in God. 

Think of all the beauty that's still left in and around you and be happy!" 

--Anne Frank--

It was a well-planned adventure! 

          Filipino Recreational Outdoor Group (FROG) invited me again during our Mt. Batulao's post-climb meeting to pursue the next climb at Mt.Gulugod Baboy. It took more than a month for me to be prepared physically and financially as well. Then, things have been in their right places especially my work schedule. I've been also blessed with new shoes and outdoor equipment, 40-L Conquer backpack, two days before the climb (sakto! nakakatuwa lng talaga.). And it was more interesting when my sister decided to join. Got it right! she was undeniably prepared. Thank you dearest sissy for this weekend getaway.

"It is only by thinking about great and good things that we come to love them,

and it is only by loving them that we come to long for them,

and it is only by longing for them that we are impelled to seek after them;

and it is only by seeking after them that they become ours."

--Henry Van Dyke--

I dare to try out new things, pursue opportunities and explore new avenues. It's been years that every bit of a dream was just stored in my mind, believing that in a proper time it will happen. Step by step, dream after dream, I could have it. As what the popular line says: "..a journey for a thousand miles, start with a single step." It starts with the desire to go for something we want, decide to reach them and just doing it. 

Desire. Decide. Do it.
