A Heartful Note for Coldplay

Dear Coldplay,

Please remember You are 'Always In My Head'. Your songs have been my 'Hymn For The Weekend' and now my 'Head Is Full of COLDPLAY Concert Dreams'. Your music is part of my 'Adventure Of A Lifetime', like a 'Magic' I fall in love. Oh yes! It's 'True Love'. I know for sure that your concert on April 4 will be an 'Amazing Day' and a night 'Sky Full of Stars'.

Love Fangirl from the Philippines,
Khat

I wrote this just to express my emotions how I like Coldplay band. Since I was a kid, I used to listen to Chris Martin's melodic voice. I grew up liking the songs Shiver, Yellow, Scientist, Trouble to name a few. Video of Don't Panic we used to watch at MTV, they're so cute in there, the graphic and robotic effects. Hahaha "Bones sinking like stones, All that we fought for...". Every word in song lyrics makes you think and immediately gives instant connection with how you feel.

I could pick a song phrase, use it as a caption to every photo I've got from my hikes and travels Paradise is perfect, "And dreamed of Para-para-paradise, Para-para-paradise, Para-para-paradise, Every time she closed her eyes.." Yes I've used this in one of my hiking photo. 

Makiling Traverse- Take 5 minutes rest :)

Mid November, Coldplay just announced they'll be having AHFOD Asian Tour in 2017 and Philippines was scheduled on April 4.

Bullynow :D

Okay so I stand for the title of this post, Bullynow with a hashtag created by my ultimate frisbee teammates just for fun. hahaha Our gala in Bolinao, Pangasinan last weekend was a blast! I swear to myself that this time I should join my Coneheads ultimate frisbee family with their gala since I rarely bond with them these days. There's 15 of us divided by 3 carpools and assembled at Mcdonalds, Mindanao Ave. by 1:00 am. For 5-6 hours ride, I took chance for taking sleep in Mike's pick-up. 

We arrived at Bolinao by 6:00 am and started the day by checking in to our reserved rooms at El Pescador Resort, having breakfast and buying goods in the market. 

Goodmorning :)

Unplanned solo La Union trip

It was holy week 2014 last week and everybody had their long vacations, out-of-town trips, beach camping, climbs from different mountains, family gatherings and any other summer activities. Once again my tropa  Buboy, Paulo and Grei asked me to join their climb in Mt. Halcon. At last! I was to climb Mt. Halcon this summer not until my supervisor has disapproved my 4 days PTOs (paid time offs). I understand but I was really sad and disappointed because we're almost having our meal planning that previous week before approaching holy week. I would've filed my PTOs 2 months or 1 month earlier perhaps for a clear and sure vacation from work. So I lend my gears to my friend Paulo (my sleeping bag and tent). 

We met in Trinoma that Holy Monday and talked about some things, mountain talks, hikes, explorations and random. 

Meet-up at Trinoma

A paradise in Calatagan

Since my friends Buboy and Randy's birthday is fast approaching, last week during weekdays we've planned a chilling and relaxing way of celebrating it. 3 days before April 5, Saturday, we've talked of having a day hike in Mt. Batulao then beachineering right after the hike. The original plan was taking the newly opened trail in Mt. Batulao traversing Mt. Talamitan by the so-called Toong trail. Too bad, they're too unsure to take this one because a guide is needed and its unfamiliar for its technicalities. 

Come'on Manalmon up to Bayukbok

Yesterday, an organized dayhike for my first time hiker friends was a blast. It was planned by me and with the help of outdoorsman Elvis Pimentel last month. Specifically, the hike is for my friends who wants to try hiking. It's in my bucket list and successfully it was done in Madlum, San Miguel Bulacan.

'Twas my 2nd time around to hike in Mt. Manalmon. 3 of my high school friends (Dada, Roann and Marlon) 1 college friend (Jimar), 1 co-worker (Ron) and 1 from frisbee team mate (Jam) and his 3 invites has totaled the participants of dayhike. Our organizer Elvis has 3 marshalls, Sid, Zarm and Onad. The service van picked up us at Technohub (my workplace) around past 4 in the morning. The ride went on for 2.5 hours to San Miguel, Bulacan. Its too hot already around 7:00am upon the arrival of our service van. My 9 invitees were all excited. We started from LNT (Leave no trace) discussion led by Elvis and a prayer which was led by me.
