January 29 to 30, 2006. A year after our first climb together up this place, we returned to Gulugod Baboy… We brought new friends along, and for a lot of them it was their first climb. The newbies of the open climb last year had become good friends and are now the group leaders and the “more experienced” big brothers and sisters to this year’s batch of green horns.
I’ve always enjoyed the great outdoors whether I’m climbing up to a mountain’s summit or diving down a coral reef. It has always been obvious for me that it’s a beautiful world and we are living in a beautiful country. But sadly not many people get to enjoy the things I’ve seen and experienced because of the challenges involved in these activities. That’s why I’ve always been such an advocate that it sometimes seem like I’m a pimp for my kind of outdoor activities. I’d like people to experience the great outdoors in a safe and environment friendly manner and in the process I hope to instill a little bit more appreciation of just how beautiful this country is and maybe teach people to love this country just a little bit more.
But enough of drama, we went to that place to conquer the summit and have a great time. Just reaching the summit and beholding the majestic vista that was there for us to behold was enough to cause what I can only describe as euphoria in some of the first timers. The things they did up there is their story to tell. But as for me the highlight of the climb would have to be the time we spent taking pictures at the summit. It was the best spot to go wild taking pictures and to express long hidden artistic talent and creativity.
This is what we saw from my camera’s lens…

Some thoughts…
When taking pictures…
The best source of light is the sun.
The best backdrop is the sky, either clear blue or accented with clouds.
The best objects to fill up space is nature’s features like mountains, trees, animals, and the sea.
The best subject is people, especially friends old and new alike.
It really is a beautiful world.
