My first mountain experience with my bff Marife from HK. She came back here at Philippines for a vacation and our celebration / bonding ended up to hiking . We're always chatting at facebook and we have similar idea about this activity , that's why we pursue to continue. The original plan for this hike total of 8 person .They are all "indianero" and puro "paasa" but because me and Fe really want to do this , we go . The locals live in the foot of the mountain tell we can reach the rockies even without guide because trails are simple and easy to follow but when we're starting to enter the forest, we back and decide "nyiiiiiii , we need a guide" sabay smile.
Back to the locals we approached one house and ask if they know where we can find a trek guide good thing the son of Ale na napag tanungan namin is willing to guide for the price of P400 but we add P100 for tip because he is graduating student and the next day is his graduation.
Because i'm excited I forgot to to take breakfast that morning maybe this is the reason dahil talagang nahilo ako and bumigay ang mga legs kaya we take rest first and that time I want to go back na feeling ko di ko na talaga kaya .
Fe suggest to smell the leaves of guava , this will help me para mawala yung hilo , I think this is good and help me because this is effective , then when I felt good ,we proceed the trek.
My reward after the trek , a beautiful view of lake .

We met some hiker's at the summit . Hehehehe ..akala namin kami lang. That group are barkada's . They are medicine students :). They told us that they already from Rockies , and they say that we need to go there or else... we will miss this .
Then rest saglit diretso na sa rockies !
Ohhh Wow !!! what a beautiful view ! The Rockies of Mt. Maculot :) Oh Yeah !
