The Adventure
     I should be going with the Storm Chasers in Magalawa Island, Zambales but on March 24 it's my Mom's birthday so I need to be with my Mom, Happy Birthday Mom! ^_^

     It's 12 midnight already but I can't sleep I'm just too excited for tomorrows Climb! I was a little worried because it raining but the next morning finally the rain stopped.

     They ride a bus from Pasay Rotonda and I just joined the bus with them in Cavite. Finally we arrived in 4 Sitio Bayabasan.

     We had a briefing from Bro. Ted. There's a few changes seems getting a guide(300 pesos) is a requirement now. Try not to argue with them or else your group might be banned at Mt. Talamitam. I just don't agree with banning. Because nobody owns the mountain! Unless they did something against the rule of mountaineering that will be fine.

    We trek for a while, I saw some flora but not much. In this adventure seems I've like stones also ^_^ new subject!

    In this entry I'll just tell the story by photos. I'm not really good in telling stories anyways.

After the hiking, we rode a jeep going to Tagaytay for a birthday dinner. Our target Bulalo "Beef stew" 

where Tagaytay is very known for. We had the sinigang, nilaga, and sizzling version.

Tips
1. Don't argue with the caretaker. Listen to what he says. Or else you may be banned
2. Bring water there is no water source
3. If you want to help restore Talamitam bring seedlings, or bring water to water the seeds that the other mountaineer planted.
4. Snake warning as real, we actually saw a goat who is dead because of a snake bite.
5. Bring a waterproof camera just in case it rained.
