Voted-Out Interview with John Lapuz (Oct. 6, 2008) (Sep 28, 2008) That is beyond cool man. Let me know if there is a way I can watch episodes online somewhere. Even if I can't understand what you guys are saying, I can at least watch the competitions. Keep Burning! "the doors of show business are now open!!!" (Sep 26, 2008) hahaha pwede. may kapalit na si Eddie Garcia kung sakali.. mas maasim! :D

Faces in the Mirror (May 27, 2007) I somehow hooked up with Patricia, a french model who has seen the world more than I have seen my own country - the hedonist kind who lived life in her backpack, hopping from place to place, armed only by her captivating beauty, her portfolio, her wits, guts and love of life. She was so beautiful she landed a cameo in the Bond film, Moonraker...more »» Ilocos Road Trip Mountaineer friends from my Mt. Apo climb (ORGASM and the Goodies), invited me to tag along to their Ilocos road trip. Instead of commuting by public transport which we usually do, we hired a van and a driver...saucy! Time to pack up again and see what this great Ilocano north is all about....more »»
Staying Present What I found to be a recurring lesson is that nothing is forever...just the present, while the moment lasts. There is no future (since it hasn't happened yet) and the past already happened (so move on!). We're only left with here and now. No matter how much you plan for the future or stay in the past, you're still in the present...whether you like it or not....more »» Kitchie Nadal's Sagada Birthday Bash Unpredictably, the party came to Sagada. Kitchie Nadal and her merry friends graced the village to celebrate her birthday. With her was Chel, a model who likewise made it up to the top 120 of the Survivor castaways. Corinne of the bohemian I Love You store was a joy to be with...more »» Sagada Cave Connection For most of the tourists visiting Sagada, one of the highlights is exploring Sumaging Cave, better known as the 'Big Cave'. However, for those who want more adrenalin, there's a lesser known offering - the more technical cave connection. This is a 3-hour spelunking from Lumiang Cave to Sumaging Cave...more »» Manila Sojourn When I left Sagada in March on a month-long backpacking into the south, I didn't realize I'd be gone for 6 months, taken by the Flow to turns and twists far beyond my wild expectations. As I've mentioned in my previous blogs, when the Flow calls, I never say 'No'. Instead, I brace myself for one magical ride. For all its peaks and valleys, this one left an indelible mark...more »» La Cosa Nostra UPM08 Party As UP Mountaineers tradition would have it, this year's batch of applicants threw a gathering for us wise guys from far and wide. Inductees pledged allegiance to la familia UPM as the heads of the mountaineering crime families, accompanied by their capos (and their brothel mistresses), made-men, enforcers, and consilieries, gave their nod to a party that would make Bugsy and Lucky....more »» Ipo Dam Tree Planting Over the weekend, UPM (mems and 08 applicants), Watson Wyatt, Manila Water and a few individual volunteers, took to Ipo Dam to plant 450 seedlings. Through GIG, over 2245 endemic seedlings have been planted in the Ipo Dam watershed since it's involvement in March 2007...more »»
Into The Wild Christopher McCandless (Emile Hirsh) graduates from college, drops out of sight and takes on a wild adventure as Alexander Supertramp - a free spirit who sheds away the trappings of privileged society and pushes the boundaries of existence by living life on the edge. In pursuit of Tolstoy's ascetic lifestyle, he forged north to test the balance of man against wild...his ultimate litmus test which proved tragic.....more »» Pantingan Peak To a mountain with tight summit space enough for 4 tents, we were 39, forging ahead on steep muddy trails as the rain poured. Trekking poles were essential. Mud-shedding properties of hiking boots were put to shame as we slipped and slid our butts off....more »»

A Midas Touch I'd been drifting now for nearly 4 years - hardly any permanent address, no money in the bank, no stable career, but I've had the most exhilarating adventures money can't buy. The things I could ever long for in life, I already have. With my life in my backpack, I enjoy an existence of nomadic mobility - the freedom to go where I want to go, be what I want to be and do what I want to do. I have to ask myself, "Why is this happening?" I had to give myself a long hard look to cough up the answers...more »»
Another Abs Showdown? With the conclusion of the male abs showdown and the female showdown still in progress, I thought I'd give it a rest before I do another abs showdown. But there are people who are now willing to showcase their abs workout online - men and women. At first, I was skeptical. Fence-sitters who requested another abs thing in the past remained fence-sitters even after I launched the competition. Somehow, they freeze when it comes to sign-up time. The others who joined lost steam as the competition neared the homestretch. Admittedly, getting a sculpted abs is a formidable undertaking. But heck, I'll give it another try. Who wants to join in? more »» |
