Osmeña Peak - Kawasan Traverse

As of this posting, I'm currently in the south of Cebu with the usual suspects: Bal Marsius, James Tan minus Jonas B who's now somewhere in Europe. For some reason, I am always in the mood to blog but it doesn't mean I'm in the best mood to write. It's draining my brains out sometimes. Work fries my brains out of me but this is what's left of it. Not that there's really nothing inside my brain but I couldn't care less on what you think.

After climbing Osmeña Peak, we traversed all the way down to Kawasan Falls. I couldn't remember the time we left our camp site but I do remember walking for seven hours. The climb up is nothing compared to what seems to be endless walking with no destination. No pain. No gain. It was tiresome but rewarding and fun most of all. No two thousand words for this entry. Just loads of photos courtesy of James Tan.

 morning view
 after sunrise 
 we looked so small from afar and yes, it was just us four.
 i know a place where the grass is always greener. 
 we didn't leave all that trash. we <3 mother earth just like that.
that's jonas and me packing some stuff while james was busy taking photos of everything. ;p
 they say the more you climb, the more you.
 we passed by a farmer and his son harvesting crops. 
 cabbage patch kids - this looks even more better in person
 vegetable basket - he carries all that load up and down the mountains.
 how to get lost and die trying
 pretending to be cute but we're exhausted really
 there are no whale sharks here
he's not really drowning
 when we reached the falls, we took a dip. 
usual suspects
 wanderboy jonas
 okay, that's james tan. 
 not exactly feeling blue
 don't go chasing waterfalls
while on the way home
and how lousy are the captions.
kthanksbye!

Wala pa ko kasaka'g Osmeña Peak and kaadto'g Kawasan! =(( When my then-officemates climbed, I had work so boo to me. Siguro before I climb I have to lose enough weight to endure the long trek kay I have this heel condition already that really slows me down. Bug-at na pud akong lawas hahaha.

Beautiful photos! :)
