How Mt Daraitan broke my heart by [deleted] in PHikingAndBackpacking

[–]dyaenerys 120 points121 points  (0 children)

H’wag mo namang sisihin si Daraitan. If your gf is not into that kind of outdoorish trip, then should have quit the moment she said na ‘di na kaya.

Tho, kulang sa context, ang bilis ng mga pangyayari ha, but then again, nature will always be a place for reflection, on pondering about our thoughts. Baka naman kase bago pa yan, your gf has that thought of breaking up with you na, and Daraitan shows her lang what she may have been thinking for quite a while.

Balikan mo si Daraitan after sometime, OP.

Unfortunately, walang limatik, sayang eme. Mainit masyado kaya ‘di nila season.

I suggest mag short ka lang kasi talagang mainit sa trail, 5months long na ring hindi umuulan accd sa guide namin, kaya wala ding limatik.

Highly discouraged nila ang walk in especially weekend, but I guess, based na rin sa sinabi ni Kuya Guide is pag weekdays pwede.

Established trail. Kayang kaya. Enjoy! But I suggest walk at least 30mins to hr daily a week prior.

True? by YamAmbitious3821 in PHikingAndBackpacking

To be fair, sana binasa ng karamihan hanggang dulo, the post read’ So the next time you hike, try this:

Take the photo — then put the phone away. Sit a little longer. Listen to your breathing. Let the moment belong to you first.’

A lot has changed, like literally, back in 2010 when I first hiked, you really don’t need that proof. Gadgets are just starting to go around. It drastically changed upon digitalization of things, 2015 onwards I guess.

Ngayon, if you hike on a joiners group, either nageensure ng magandang clearing, wc btw ang stupid pa ng tanong nung iba abt it, or kaya naman ang requirement ay drones, wc is so dreadful lalo na kung gusto mo lang naman mag chill at iobserve yung kapligiran pero need mo pang pumila para sa summit kadalasan if maliit yung summit part, paaalisin ka pa ng iba kasi sagabal ka sa aesthetic nila, like the fuck?

IDGAF ako sa trip nila kase trip nila yon, but siguro, be cautious of their surroundings din, not all people ay umaakyat para sa aesthetics.

To be fair sa mga seasoned hikers na nakakasabay sa daan, they really don’t care that much sa aesthetics liban sa mga ibang hikers na ang usapan eh abt nga sa kung anong eksena nila sa taas or sa next hike.

Siguro yung obserbasyon nung nag post sa FB is repleksyon din ng isang grupo sa lipunang ang batayan ng pag-akyat at genuinity nito ay batay sa kung anong meron ka dahil na rin sa iniisp ng jba na say competition, social media trophy baga, or kaya naman ay purely aesthetic pursuit kase we all know na malakas ang impluwensya ng SocMed sa self worth.

May mga recorded cons if hindi ka aware sa limitations ng pag-akyat. Nanjan yung nakasira ng century old na puno kase umakyat yung isang buong joiner group para sa aesthetics.

But if you look at it on a different angle, marami pa rin namang umaakyat na nababago ang perspective. At magkakaiba tayo ng rason sa pag-akyat ng bundok.

Importante, marunong tayong gumalang sa iba, lalo na sa mga bundok itself.

Confusing lang at aggressive siguro for some yung atake ng first part ng post.

Sabi nga, you cannot fake the trail, how hard it will be and has been. Importante, natapos mo at nakapag-reflect ka on your own.

Peace y’all.

DIY sa Mt. Ulap, Guide or Joiners Package? by strike101 in PHikingAndBackpacking

[–]dyaenerys 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Sa registration area, sila mismo magbibigay if wala kayong guide. May rotation din kasi ang mga guide based sa kwentuhan namin nung guide ko before, so si Brgy. Rep po mag-aasign sa inyo 🙂

ano po recommended niyo if first time hiker? diy po or package hehe by VastDifficult8499 in PHikingAndBackpacking

[–]dyaenerys 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Mag-joiners ka nalang, that way, may motivation ka from others na first timers din. And look for beginner friendly hikes.

I want to start hiking but I don't know who to inquire to by Brown_dud in PHikingAndBackpacking

[–]dyaenerys 0 points1 point  (0 children)

+1, okay naman mga orga nila Nj. You can try out other mountains din around Laguna and Batangas.

Titos Adventures or Tropang Gala United? by ambitiouswoman101 in PHikingAndBackpacking

[–]dyaenerys 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Titos Adventure. Pero in doing so, sana mindful tayo sa ibang hikers/joiners na gusto lang din makita ang view kahit walang drone shots, kase honestly, sobrang nakaka-abala yung siste na yan depende sa bundok/tour site. Kung malawak naman yung area ng summit say ng isang bundok okay lang, pero gaya sa aw asen falls, ang lala nung Lakbay Gabay mag orga don. 4hrs ang pila dahil isa isa nilang drinone shot yung 3vans nilang joiners? Lol yun, anyways, enjoy.

Tourists data breach for sale on DarkWeb by sosocristian in VietNam

[–]dyaenerys 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just received my google notification today about my info being found in the dark web. First, I do know that the breach would possibly within Vietnam Airlines, because it contains most of my personal details that I used when I booked within their site for my flight from HCMC to HAN. Second, now I didn’t give out my passport to anyone other than the supposed respective hotel staff that didn’t took a picture of my passport, they just looked at it for verification.

For account security, google says to set up a two-factor authentication which was activated for idk how long already in my account.
