Wildfire o Kaingin? Hmm....

May utang pa 'kong tatlong bundok at napakaraming bagay na hindi ko pa na-blog pero dito muna tayo sa last ko na bundok nung March. Ito muna kasi, you know, na-miss ko na umakyat. :))) 

Van from Starmall to Tanay Market

A night before lang 'to namin napag-usapan, kaya wala rin akong tulog masyado. Mga isang oras bago 'yung meeting time tapos 'yung tulog galing Shaw hanggang Tanay tapos Tanay hanggang Jump-off, mga three to four hours din na putol-putol. 

Galing sa Multi-Purpose hall, medyo mahabang lakarin papunta pa. Nakakapagod talaga pag paved road na pataas tapos mabato 'yung unang mga dinaanan pero sa totoo nyan, kulang na rin ako sa exercise grabe. Hiningal ako agad. Napatanong ako ulit kung ano ba 'yung ginagawa ko sa buhay ko kesa itinulog ko na lang. Napakainit na. Napaka-reklamador ko pa. (Salamat sa pagtitiis, hiker friends. NYAHAHA) 

Sus, 3/9 at 745 MASL lang eh. Easy. Nobody said it was easyyyyyy. Hahaha! The summit is a grassland (reminded me of Mt. Tagapo) and full of assault, idagdag pa na hindi na talaga ko physically ready mag-bundok. Ayun. EZ PZ talaga. Easy gusto ko na umuwi. 

Mt. Sembrano is in Jala-Jala Peninsula but it's still a part of Pililia, Rizal that's why the windmills are visible on from the summit. It has a really good view of the nearby mountains in Laguna, Rizal and Talim Island and the Laguna Bay. If only it wasn't scorching hot. 

We found shade among the taller grasses and we slept there for around 30 minutes. I didn't check the time but we probably reached the summit in less than three hours. 

The trails are steep yet we continued walking to find a shaded place where we could eat our lunch. We spent an hour in here before going back to the summit and descend since we wanted to be at the town proper as early as possible. 

We took pictures before descending so as to take in the view of the surroundings as well. Natagalan bago ko nakaakyat ulit at parang natatagalan bago ko makaakyat ulit. Nyeeee. Dati halos weekly akyat. :(

 Ganda! 360 degrees view at kaming apat lang umakyat that day. Sulit na rin lahat ng hirap. 

Itong tatlong pictures sa baba 'yung view sa summit:

Sierra Madre Mountains, this is facing Pililia Windmills

Buti na lang din damo at buti na lang din hindi mahangin nung araw na 'yon kaya kapag nakalagpas na 'yung apoy sa isang part, namamatay na. 

Kaso 'yung problema, nagiging tatlong part na 'yung sunog. Pero 'yung unang malaki lang 'yung problema kasi dun 'yung trail, 'yung dalawa naman medyo malayo pero rinig na rinig namin 'yung tunog nung nasusunog saka lumilipad na rin 'yung mga sunog na damo. 

Ito, may video pala ako. 

Buti na lang kasama namin 'tong aso na 'to kasi siya rin 'yung nagsilbing guide namin dun. Feeling namin nung una, ni-rescue namin siya pero feeling ko, andun lang talaga siya para magbantay. Ikaw ba 'yung diwata ng Mt. Sembrano, bebe doggeh? :))) 

Nakadaan kami dun sa apoy na mataas kaya dito kami muna nag-stay sa nasunog na na part tapos saka naghanap ng daan. 

Alam mo 'yung pakiramdam na wildfire siya na hindi? Ang init kasi talaga nung araw na 'yun kaya medyo understandable na nasunog pero kasi, di maiwasan na maisip na ginawa lang ng tao 'yung sunog. Akala siguro walang tao sa bundok nung araw na 'yon. 

Naka-dalawang buko ako pagbaba namin dun sa nagbebenta kasi grabe talaga, nakalagpas kami sa 10/9 na trail. Dangers ng pagbubundok. May we always be safe in this hobby of ours. 

We opted to skip on any tours since we were staying in Henann. Chill chill lang. There are a lot of things to do there anyway. 

After having breakfast, we rested for a while and decided to use the rest of the morning swimming in almost all the pools of Henann. Haha! Ang dami kasi! 

I'll just be showing you pictures: 

Luh may dimple ako underwater. :))

Henann's Pool Bar

Towels are available at the pool area. You just have to give them your room number and log. Here's to hoping na 'yung ginamit na towel ni Jonghyun ng CNBlue nung nagpunta siya sa Henann ay 'yung ginamit ko rin dun. HAHAHA!!! Kasi naman Lee Jonghyun, di ka pa sumabay sa'kinnnnnnnnnn!

Check out time took long because there are a lot of people checking-out as well. As soon as they processed ours though, we decided to walk around the resort again. 

The tricycle who took us to Henann was also the tricycle that picked us up. I had kuya's number but I impulsively deleted all the contacts of my phone. 

These are pictures from the buffet spread in Henann Resort, Alona, Panglao

I just feel like showing you these pictures :)))

There are two restaurants there where you can eat your breakfast, we wanted to eat at the one nearer the beach but... temptation to eat here was great. HAHAHA. This was near our room. Okay lang naman. Wag na beach view, pagkain view na lang :))
