Mt. Pinatubo's Wonder Adventure

Last week, I fulfilled another promise I made to myself. I was able to join a group of bloggers in an adventure that only Mt. Pinatubo can give justice. As early as 1:00 am, I was already ready to proceed to the meeting place located at the Panay Ave., where other bloggers are waiting for the bus that will bring us to Tarlac. To let time pass by as we travel and also to have the energy to face whatever is ahead of us, almost all of us are sleeping. As we arrive at the area, we were meet by the 4 x 4 vehicle that will our mode of transportation. 

After a few minutes of stretching, we are ready to go. Each of the 4 x4 has its own driver and guide to accompany us. Ready to go, I said to myself and off we go. After a few minutes, I was showered with the most unexpected thing, oh my gosh!! It’s the dung of the carabao, of all the thing in the world. What a blessing for I know it’s a start of something exciting.

It’s my first time ride in a 4 x 4 but it’s a ride that I will never forget. It given me the privilege to able to see the nature, mountain after mountain, vast land, blue skies due to its open part. I cannot tell where the sky starts and the mountain ends.

The time came for us to start the taking the trail up to the Mt. Pinatubo. I am fond of walking, but walking in a straight pavement. This is a first to me, walking thru the brook, stony path and mud and all. All the time, I pray that I don’t slip here and there. Going uphill and climbing the mountain made also realize how close to nature I am.

As I saw the resting area, I knew I’m almost there. We were able to rest for a while and take pictures, share some jokes here and there. The time has come and it’s the moment we are all waiting for, to be at peak of Mt. Pinatubo.

Upon reaching the summit of the crater, I was greeted by a site that made me realized that the 3 hours of trekking , time, effort, money is worthless compared to what I witness.

Mt. Pinatubo is a proof as how God can do wonders. Miracles happen and this is one miracle that you cannot question. From being destructible, it was turned into a beauty of admiration.

Trekking back gave me more time to admire the surroundings and natural environment. I’m now not in hurry but have a relax face and was able to dip here and there to some streams that we pass by.

Given the time, we were able to pass by the Capas National Shrine.

What a journey it has been. I would like to thank Jonel Uy of Let’s Go Sago and Travel Factor and all the sponsors for giving me the opportunity to experience an adventure like this.

Till the next adventure, hope to see you again
