Travelogue 2012

I promised myself that I should travel to at least 3 places a year but I think I need to restructure my statement and will say “I will travel to at most 3 places a year.” (*Wink wink!*)

Paul was not here in Philippines for the first half of 2012 so I took it to my advantage and traveled to all the places I want to.

This will be a boring list of 26 places I’ve been last year. The 3 places became 26 places. My travel fund was depleted.^_^ So here I am. Just blogging everything.

Nasugbu (January 2012)

- A climb with my housemates in preparation for our first International Rugged Race.

Tagaytay (January 2012)

Tarlac (January 2012) entry of Tapulao

- The most difficult mountain so far yet the most fulfilling.

Zambales (January 2012) Pinatubo

- This made me realize that group buying sites are deceiving. I didn’t want to post anything about it. I just learned my lesson the hard way. Nevertheless the launching of “Hari ng Tutong” was successful. Here’s the video from Mayk’s vimeo.

Bukidnon (February 2012)
