Poems Are Made By Fools Like Me

But only God can make a tree. --Joyce Kilmer


You got that right! TREES indeed! =)


Last October 2, 2010, Yuppie Days With The Lord, together with some friends, went to Calawis, Antipolo to hike and plant trees. Ok ok... some stayed at the nursery and squatted for hours to plant wildlings. =)


Both are not menial tasks. Kapagod mga Dong and Day! Kalerrrrrky! Kapuy gid!


I invited friends from the Disciples Choir. Thank you Edison, Miggle, Cassie, Mary, Rose, Jayr, Mel and Chad for accepting the invite. <3


Let's start with our adventure!


Together with the group, Nii and I got ready for the climb.
Ready for the climb!


The climb was -- how do I put it nicely... hmmmmm... challenging. 
MAJOR MAJOR CHALLENGING!!!!


Woot, Group 3!
Thanks to Mel Torres, we have a group picture! Go Group 3! Woot!


The climb was really not a joke. The trail was slippery. It was steep. There were instances that your choices were to fall on barbed wires or to a ravine. Kaaaaaaaa!!!!!! Thanks to Edison's assitance, di ako namatay! Hahaha! To Nii: YOU'RE MY HEROOOOOO!!!! *enter song here* Hahaha! <3


After an hour and a half, which felt like a day (hahaha!), we reached the top!!!!! Woooooot!!!!! Worth all the effort, man! =D It was paradise! Well, not really because it was all talahib, but still, paradiiiiise! =)


Since we're here to plant and not to ogle at the scenery lang, we had to get going.


Nii and I donned on the plastic gloves given by Santa Tracy.


Gloved Ones
Thanks for these, Trace! Mwah! =*


Hi ho! Hi ho! Off to the planting site we go!


Lo and behold! =) Parang 1/4 pa lang yan ng dapat taniman! Hahaha!

The Plantation. Parang hacienda talaga! Love it!


Magtanim at di biro, maghapong nakayuko...

Amongst the planters, merong haciendero! SI EDISON!!!!!!!! Mayaman! Pak! Hahaha!

I so love this pic of yours, Nii! Panalo talaga! Taob lahat ng ibang pics! Hahaha!


Edison and I planted like... how many again, Nii? 12 each ba? Pwede na yun! GOOJAB!!!! Thumbs up!


Goojab!!!!
Congratulations to us, Nii! Apiiiiir!


So down the trail we go again. It was more difficult! Suh-wear! Parang pag nadulas ka, sa kabilang side ka na ng bundok pupulutin! Hahahaha! Patay! Cardiac! Tegibambam! Lay a garland! I know you get what I mean. =P


After another hour or so, which again felt like a day, we arrived at the jumpoff point! WE'RE BACK ALIVE, PEOPLE!!!!! Love it!


We're back!
We made it back, troop! Hahaha! Pak!


Oh yeah, I didn't tell you... NADULAS AKO! Bwahahaha!!!! Once lang naman. =) Proud proud proud! Here's the evidence. 


Pak sa pwet!
Showing off my muddy derriere. Hahaha!


Hay kapuy talaga! Major major! We have tired but happy feet! Abused them actually. <3

Happy Feet
Tap tap: Rose, Reich, Jayr, Edison


Lupaypay na sa sidewalk ang mga tao. Pero di naman masyado halata. Except for some. Hahaha.


Pagod, lugami, kapuy.
Sidewalk Drama


Ate lunch, super late lunch, in Causeway Libis. Burp. =)
Rode with Tracy to Galleria. Sleep.
Bus from Galleria to Fairview. Sleep pa rin.
Showered and primped. Fresh! =D
Dinner time. Yum. =D


Edison and I ate a heeeeeavy meal in the shawarma place in Lagro. Grabe Nii, lamon! Binawi lang natin yung inakyat natin that morning! Hahaha!


Shawarma and Isaw
Savoring our isaw. Yum.


THIS WAS A TIRING, EXHAUSTING, DRAINING BUT FUN, FABULOUS AND FANTASTIC DAY! =)


Thanks to YDTWL@39 Core for making this happen. Congrats! *\o/*
Thanks to Tracy for the ride! Would never have gotten there without you! =*
Thanks to Mel Torres for the other pics! Mas maraming remembrance! <3 
Thanks again to Edison, Miggle, Cassie, Mary, Rose, Jayr, Mel and Chad for coming! This wouldn't have been so fun without you! =))
Thank to Edison for saving my life several times. You really are my hero! <3 =) =) =)
