A week or two before August 28, 2010 came. I felt like being gloomy. I wanted to go to somewhere but I didn’t know where exactly that is. I can’t even tell that I’m missing the company of my friends at Marvz Tambayan. But one thing is for sure, I wanted to be with a calm peaceful place. Then I told Moises what I am thinking at the moment. He asked me if I want to go his place (Cuyapo, Nueva Ecija) with the rest of the barkada. So told him yes, and start inviting them to join me with my escapades. It was actually scheduled August 21, 2010 but due to early scheduled of my flight I decided to cancel the tour and ask for an apology for renouncing the plan. But changes came that it happens to schedule the flight on September 2, 2010. We plan once more for the tour to Cuyapo and reinvite our friends to join us and have some fun.
On august 28, 2010, Moises Gamboa, Marifhe Nava, John Lastimosa, Marvin Ignacio and I depart to Cuyapo with packed lunch pinakbet, fried chicken, rice and fruits and chips to snack over while climbing the mountain known as Mt. Bulaylay. Due to late arrival to Moises’ grandparent’s house, we decided to have lunch since we all craving for the smell of our foods. After lunch, Moises asked his cousins and brothers to guide us with our venture to the mountain since most of them weren’t able to visit the Cuyapo’s beautiful scenery.
When we saw the Mt. Bulaylay, we were all excited to get there and have some pictures. And we’ve learned that the walk way of that mountain was already concrete cement. We love the excitement we felt that very moment. We laugh while stepping afar from our origin and notice that this mountain was only pure elevated walk way. It tires us every inch of seconds we stepped. And realized that we can’t step out foot anymore and it becomes heavier as it is before. We felt very exhausted after 30 minutes or so and made laugh with each other’s expression while walking. Marvin made himself acting like a witch doctor in DOTA they always played at computer café. And it is one of the reasons why we drained all our energy while going up to the peak. We were not sure of how long was we walked through but one made it with countless of stop-overs in 1 hour and 45 minutes or more. And when we finally get there, the rain pours right exactly we stepped our feet to the repeater tower’s gate. It’s an additional experience for all of us that we didn’t expect really. I’m really amazed. We are all amazed. We’ve seen the perfect view of the Pangasinan, Guimba and Cuyapo clearly and greeny. Like any other mountain, the mountain has a mini grotto and took some pictures of it and I uttered a prayer for our safety. After we have explored the peak of Mt. Bulaylay, we all decided to leave the place seeing the heavy rains will be coming to us. I played the Do You Remember and have some dance steps, and cheers while we were going down. We laughed hard. We also found a small flower having petals of different colors that I’ve only seen for the first time in this adventure. I took some and have some photos with it. I’ve really enjoyed the escapade we made with the company of these people who are close to my heart. Just a little bit frustrated that many of them didn’t come with us and share the beautiful experience that for sure I’ll be missing when I left for work. But it’s ok, that the place made the visit so complete.
Thank you so much for being with me John, Marifhe, Marvin and Moises. And thank you very much Moises for allowing me to be with this kind of place once more. I hope the second time that we will set a date for another venture, many of us will be joining. This is not the last time, this has a part II that hoping to be so near, very near. Thank you very much guys. This really completes my jobless vacation. I hope luck for all us.
Love it! =) so sweet…
