the fabulous mt. ugo climb

so much for my original novelish ugo blog :/ i've aready composed a 7 paragraph entry for day 1 only. until i lost the momentum to write day 2 and day 3. o well... ok to sum it up. it was my most beautiful climb to date. and the most emotionally, and mentally draining. yeah i cried harder than when im at malipunyo.

imagine night trekking in the freezing ugo summit. and then setting up your tent in the rain. then your cellphone had 10 miss callls, but no text message. you panic and wonder what might have happened. and then you attempt to return the call but the signal is very faint. saya. production support issue lang pala. darnit. lesson of the story,, turn of your phone! wala karin naman magagawa eh. I locked myself in our tent, i don't care about dinner. i just want to go home.


the first night, the camp was cow infested. there were cows, cows and more cows. i had little sleep. it was super cold, and my clothes are damp. and jb keeps on shouting and shoo-ing the cows. there was a time a heard a reply -- "uyy tao ako" hehehe. i heard that the cows like salt, which explains why they like to munch our trekking clothes. im amazed how fast they sniff and detect my pee. it was quite scary actually when a cow tried to lick my butt.

the next day, mejo nahimasmasan na ako. i tried to be helpful in the kitchen since i was useless the other night. after that night the trek was very pleasant, except for some ridges of course, but it was really beautiful.

the day2 socials at bajay's campsite was a riot. everybody was drunk. my gl got herself burned. (without knowing it until she woke up the following morning) and as usual, i missed all the fun, i got sleepy again too early. the day3 trek was the most pristine of them all. the hanging bridge was magnificent, (and a little scary).


still i have to psyche myself for a more-than-3-days climb thou...

jamci

was my first time to sing with a band in an event. :) my bmc batchmates just formed the band 3 days before the gig. hehe. i had to import jb (who is batch 2002 btw) for the lead guitars. other bandmates are mawi for the base, tj for the rythm, ike for percussions, and kim, also doing vocals.

i sang alanis' "hand in my pocket", kim sang cranberries' "salvation" and rolling stone's "satisfaction". my 2nd song was supposed to be nirvana's "lithium", but i chickened out. ige took over the stage sang in his running form. :)

another gig is set on the 15th. hopefully i'll get to sing a gwen song. :)
