GastroAdvent#4: Longganisa Sorpresa

Longganisa! One of the Filipino's all time favorite breakfast treat served along with sinangag rice (fried garlic rice) and itlog (egg, usually served sunny side up). This sausage style meat has become a signature to most provinces in the Philippines who blends their own distinct version and are often times complemented with their original concoction of vinegar.

Along the SM North's Sky Garden Food selection, I found Longganisa Sorpresa, a unique restaurant that serves all these famous sausages and other breakfast treats everyday. No need to wait for the Longganisa festival!

They not only offer various types of longganisa but they also have selections for those who prefer fish (like myself) and salads.



They also have a fish based longganisa (General Santos) and my BF's favorite, Cabanatuan's garlic rich longganisa.

GastroAdvent#3: Al Centro, Herzogenaurach

"Laßt uns essen!

Our starving group went walking around the streets of Herzo for our first lunch here together. Here we found Al Centro.
One of the things I liked is that they have a separate menu cards written in English. It's also a cozy restaurant. Kinda like Italliani's. They have Antipasti, Salads, Pasta, Pizza, Steaks and Seafoods. Of course any meal here wouldn't be complete without bier.

Napoli (Anchovies pizza)

lasagna

Salmon and Steak

My friends told me that one pizza serving here is more like a personal meal unlike in the Philippines where everything is preferred to be for sharing. Above orders filled up 6 stomachs until dinner!

Hello Herzo!!

My first European city.. more like a province. Autumn weather, small and quiet town. Even at the bazaar, children on the rides weren't hyperactive. These are my first shots of the streets of Herzogenaurach

Quite unpleasant Cebu Pacific experience

        I'm not sure if it is due to the wee morning hours or if the check in teller's trying to get into Cebu Pacific's customers nerves but I just want to share our unpleasant experience while checking in on our way to Davao for other readers to learn from our experience.
       We arrived at Ninoy Aquino Terminal 3 at 2 AM, 2 hours before our flight schedule with Cebu Pacific. As soon as the counter opened, people started pouring in and everyone was eager to finish this step. The lack of visible information board for the flight check in counters resulted confusion to their passengers as to which counter should they check in. It's 2-3 isle difference from the 1st Cebu Pac check in counter to the other. We had to shift twice between these counters before we were able to line up inside. Imagine how the other passengers felt with the confusing line going in the counters, but we finally made it in.
       While waiting for the check in counter to open, decided to check in as a group so we can combine all our baggage weight.

Mistake #1: You can only combine your baggage if:
    A. Your group has only 1 flight IT
    B. You have the same surname or related to the other passengers with different flight IT

        This became a problem to us since we didn't have enough check in baggage weight. So while most of us tried to use the excess baggage from the other groups, we were left with 2 bags that weights almost 30kg.
        The crew that was responsible for checking in our stuff told us that excess per kilo cost about 150. We multiplied that by 30 and the price shocked us. I swear she could see panic in our eyes as the boarding time is almost up and there were a few more passengers lined up after us. We had to open our bags and hand carry some of our stuff to minimize the cost. I was already decided to pay the excess via credit card. We asked if they have any services we could avail for our baggage at a lower cost and she said there was no option.
         The guy behind her (the one who tags the bags after they've been weight and checked in) told us that we could buy additional baggage per kilo. "400 something for 15kg" he said.
         Imagine my dismay when she verified that we could indeed buy additional check in loads for less that 1000 pesos. My blood boiled and I wanted to file complaints to whoever her manager was and commend the other guy to take her position and pay instead but time was running out. We had to race to the terminal fee section join with the rest of our group and charge everything to experience.


So here's some things first time plane riders might need to consider.


     1. Purchase least the minimum check in baggage when you buy your online tickets if you are unsure of your luggage's weight or better yet, check your hand carry item. It should be more or less 7kg and should fit on the overhead compartment or under your designated plane chair.
      2. Know the promotions and other useful information regarding your carrier's luggage, safety, insurance, loss baggage.
      3. Pray before your flight. Not only should we ask for safety but for guidance as well as we deal with everyone we come across with.


Hope you learned from our little misadventure. At least, I can now say... Now I know what to do next time.


P.S. If you ask me, I currently prefer AirPhil. Hope they'll have more destinations and promotions to come :)

Climb #13: Mt. Arayat (Magalang Trail)

Part of our preparation for the ultimate climb of the year, the L.O.B.O. Mountaineers planned for TC2 to climb Mt. Arayat.

Originally, the plan is to do a traverse. Following the popular IT Magalang-Arayat trail, the group also equipped themselves with research and interviews from other fellow mountaineers who’ve been first humbled by this mountain.

Going there

The group met at Victory Pasay from 5am-7am. Taking the Olongapo bound bus, the group of 16 climbers arrived at around 9am at SM Pampanga. Arranging a jeepney ride from SM to Brgy Ayala, it took us more than an hour to get to the jump off. Turns out, the driver we contracted was not familiar with the said barangay and had to ask around and take a few wrong turns before we reached our destination.

Welcome to Barangay Ayala, Jump Off to Summit

We finally arrived to our first destination. The first thing we did is to register at the PNP outpost. The posted police officers here are very helpful. They tried to provide us as much needed information they can give. Since there are no organized group of guides in the town of Magalang, usually, climbers will have to find locals or police officers who’ll agree to guide them towards the summit. The trail though is pretty established thus there is little need for guides.

The trail

Our marked jump off is the store/house on the corner of the road heading towards the military outpost. From there, you’ll have to walk about 10-15min of cemented road heading towards a cross road. Continue walking straight until you pass by a tree house. Another 10min walk and you’ll reach the old DENR. As we were informed that is not the DENR office anymore.

From the old DENR, follow the gradually ascending grassy trail, which after a few minutes becomes a bit rocky and a lot muddier especially since it was drizzling that day. Majority of the trail is covered with trees which makes the climb less exhausting. 2 hours after, we reached what I call the first pit stop. A camp ground with a huge boulder in the middle and a green “street sign” that tells us to go left (if you are facing the boulder).

Last Rope Segment to campsite

From that point, the trail becomes rocky and mossy. Be sure to have your gloves ready as you had towards the next pit stop, the diversion road going to camp and white rocks. We continued heading left and after more than 5hours of trekking, we reached the North Peak Tower.

The Dog

When I got to the tower, I found that our group’s unable to proceed as there was a golden dog on the loose guarding the entrance of the fenced tower. We were also unsure if the spot where we are standing is the actual camp site. A few minutes later, the dog went in the fenced gate. We took that opportunity to walk near the fence and shouted “Tao po..”. The door opened and a man pointed us the way to the camp site, the trail on the left of the tower. A few of us were able to pass the trail safely, but those on the rear side was seen by the dog, who barked and ran towards them, prompting some to scream and run to safety. Good thing, the dog doesn’t or didn’t bite anyone.

Camp Site

The camp site can only accommodate a few tents, in our case, round 8 tents 4 of which (I think) are dome types. It was a good thing that there were a few hikers who decided to camp that day.

View of Pampanga River from camp site

After settling down, we enjoyed the last show of the Arayat view for that day as the sun slowly began to set, and the fog crawled to cover to view like a movie credits rolling. While the rest continued to enjoy the night, I quietly snuck in my tent to rest.

Good Morning Sunshine!

By 5:30, Nica was already up. The girl who seems to be allergic to sleep began her day by calling me out of my tent. I guess we were the first ones to gaze upon the misty morning on top of Peak 1. It was so nice, everything seems blue, chilly and calm. After stretching, we began to cook our breakfast as the rest began to slowly crawl out of their tents. A few minutes later, a clear view of Pampanga river and the ridge like terrain heading towards Peak 2 were already visible. At 8am, we began breaking our tents, waited for the supply we requested from a local (6litters of water and 2 1.5 softdrinks) and decided that it will be best if we head back down to Magalang trail based on our group movements yesterday.

IT Revised

So we decided to do just that but we are now faced with a new challenged. First, we need to find a wash up area and second, will the contracted jeep agree to fetch us in Brgy. Ayala since we earlier instructed our driver to meet us in Brgy Bano.

We were indeed blessed that both problems has been addressed before we began to descend. First, we were informed that there’s a resort where we can go wash up, next we were able to communicate with the driver and he agreed to fetch us in Bry Ayala. Thank God!

Wash up Area

After dealing with the same slippery and muddy trail, we finally got back to the store on the corner of main road and path leading to the PNP station. From there we rode a tricycle going to a public resort named Villa Santiago. Entrance is 70 per head, then we rented stone tables for 150.00. The resort operates until 5pm, giving us plenty of time for us to rest.

From Brgy Ayala, we paid 600 pesos for the jeepney ride back to SM Pampanga. From there we parted ways riding bus heading to Pasay, Cubao and Caloocan.

GastroAdvent #2: Zuchinni tuna pasta

Another tasty treat from the internet with my own added twist. The original recipe was made for vegan people but adding the tuna made it suitable for pescatarians and other non vegan people. I've been enjoying pasta cooking and this recipe proves to be one easy dish to whip up.

Ingredients of this tasty treat:
2 med size zuchinni chopped into cubes -> low calorie, moderate source of folates and potassium
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 med white onion, minced
2 red bell pepper, chopped -> low in saturated fat, cholesterol and sodium, high in dietary fiber, vitamins (A,C,K and B6)
2 can tuna (used century tuna, 1 spicy 1 oil in flakes) -> rich in omega3
4tbsp olive oil
salt and pepper to taste

500g pasta (angel hair used for this recipe)

How to cook:
Pasta:
   Boil 3-4 cups of water, add salt and 1 tbsp of olive oil. Cook pasta until al dente.
Sauce:
   Saute onion and garlic to 4 tbsp of olive oil until onion becomes transparent
   Pour tuna with oil in pan and cook for 1 minute
   Add zuchinni and red bell pepper cook for another 1-2 minutes
   add salt to taste.
Serving:
   Mix pasta and sauce. Add fresh ground pepper to taste.


With this easy dish, you're sure to enjoy one fancy dinner with family and friends :)

Climb #9: Mt. Daguldol Climbapalooza 2011

Acknowledgement: Love of Brotherhood and Outdoors (L.O.B.O. Mountaineers);  FIMOinc for organizing this event
L.O.B.O mountaineers decided to take part of the FIMOinc., organized Climbpalooza 2011 to commemorate the gift of love, for and of mountains. Once the list of target destinations was out, the decision needs to be made.

Among the listed mountains was Mt. Daguldol, a popular weekend trekking destination in San Juan, Batangas which offers:

• a fun and a bit challenging climb 
• beach relaxation post climb
• Budget climb.

Done deal.

 The Meeting Place:

The group gathered at the usual meeting place at Wendy’s Buendia (Taft), the store that has been a significant place to mountaineers and other outdoor enthusiast serving as a safe meeting place most specially for wee hours call time.

Going there:

Off to see the summit

From Wendy’s Buendia, we rode a bus to Lipa City and got off at Big Ben (apparently a well known landmark). We were united with the other participants who prefer to meet up in Lipa. We then arranged for a jeepney ride to drive us to the jump off at Brgy. Hugom where we registered and paid the entrance fee and arranged for a guide.

Trekking we go:

Waiting for the Halo Halo

The first 20-30 minutes of the trail is via beach front. We started the trek a little after lunch hour which was why we needed to endure the scorching heat of the sand before taking a turn leading to the feet of the mountain but the rest of the trail is pretty shady. There’s a good population of coconut trees and goats that stays under a make shift cage of big boulders. The group decided to take their lunch at Naambon Falls with our guide and his loyal dog before continuing the trek. At about 3pm, we came across a house there that sells halo-halo (Filipino cold dessert). Tempted (who wouldn’t?) some of us ordered a glass of this treat  while some had a bottle of soda instead.

View at the summit

Around 5pm, we were able to reach the vast camp area shared with a few grazing cows (don’t worry, their tied to a rope). The summit’s breezy atmosphere offered a relaxing feeling that you’d just want to lie on the grass and sleep after the climb, but we have to pitch our tents and cook dinner before we can do that. After dinner and socials, we kept our camp stuff under our tent’s vestibule, abiding by our guide’s reminder that dogs usually roams at night eating camper’s leftovers.

The Next Day:

The designated morning cooks were awakened by the cool 6am breeze and their cell phone alarms. After stretching our muscles they started making preparations for breakfast, only to find out that our rice pot was dragged a few meters away from our camp site emptied of the left over sinigang, the plastic covering was shredded. It was a funny morning and some of us stared with disbelief not able to comprehend how a “dog” manages to pull out that rice pot under our vestibules without leaving any trace or no one even hearing a thing.

After breakfast, break camp, lots of picture taking and the fog starting to cover the camp area, we decided to head back to the beach, a suitable way to end a "hard" day climb.

Climb Notes:

1. Classified as minor climb, one can do a day hike or opt for overnight stay at the summit. Bring 2-3 litters of water for hydration, sunblock and swim wear! It's also nice if you can have additional food for the guide should you want to have lunch in Naambon River.

2. Naambon River - aptly named since the water from this falls is quite weak. Could be attributed to the lack of rain during our climb month which was February 2011.

Borrowing things

While riding a bus on my way to work, I suddenly remembered the message that was delivered by our pastor some time ago. The message title was "Happiness Borrows". In a nutshell, we can be happy even if we don't own things, that being borrowers we get to enjoy borrowed things without the burden of ownership.


This too as discussed is applicable in relationship. We get to borrow a person's time to be a parent, friend, brother/sister. While we have the privilege to enjoy these, we need to remember to do our share of being good stewards for the things that we borrow. We must try our best not to cause damage to the things, the people that we borrow in our lives. We also have to learn to part with what we borrowed, and that it is our responsibility to take care of whatever we have and borrowed so that the next borrower will have the chance to experience the same enjoyment that we had while we had them in our possession.


I reflected this message on my current relationships. I found how true this could be and that we should handle things most specially people with care. That whatever we do it will affect the things and the people that surrounds us, and that if it was us that was damaged, we have to learn to forgive and try to mend us so we can give happiness to our next borrower. :)

Training to reach the summits

As a mountaineer, it is important that one maintains a physically fit body and continuously improve their endurance. Since I started joining several mountaineering groups, I started to adopt their techniques on how they keep their bodies in tip top shape, tuned for their next climb or whatever outdoor activity they would engage to. 

Running is always on top of their list, while biking and engaging in several sports activities are also part of their options. The important thing though is your chosen physical activities should most likely focus on the endurance and cardiovascular training. Strength training of course should also done in balance to maintain muscle power in order to carry your survival packs.

As I plan to continue to conquer more and more summits here in the Philippines and hopefully around the world, I'll need to prepare myself so I won't become a burden to my group and also so that I could also enjoy not just the summit but the climb itself. :)

Climb #10: Mt. Pulag (via Ambangeg-Ambangeg trail)

(Activity date: April 2-3 2011)
Jump-off point: Ambangeg, Bokod, Benguet

This is my 2nd Pulag assault and a rewarding come back indeed as I was able to have a glimpse of what heaven might look. I'm talking about the sea of clouds and nothing but pure beauty.

Panorama shot of heaven

 My friends, the L.O.B.O. Mountaineers opted to celebrate "Lady Dolly" and our friend Apol's birthday in Pulag since they both haven't been there. The "birthday climb" as we call it, has become a tradition of our group and brotherhood and had played a vital role in the birth of our group.


A joint effort of all our Mountaineering brothers and sisters made this birthday climb possible. I'm just glad that all of us especially Dolly and Apol were gifted by God this rare opportunity to experience the breath taking view on top of Mt. Pulag.


Going to Mt. Pulag via the so called "Executive Trail" is still a test of endurance for most first time hikers. Physical, Mental and Emotional preparation is a must, not just for Pulag but for every mountain you may want to hike. One should also be aware of the possibility of experiencing hypothermia and altitude sickness as these are some of the common yet serious conditions hikers may experience. 3-4 layers of clothes will help keep your blood warm allowing to flowing though your body :)


Anyway, here's the IT that we've followed. Hope this could be of help as I do wish you'll experience the sea of clouds as well. One request though, please do your part in preserving Pulag. The numerous traffic of people that visits this mountain does dramatic changes in its landscape. Irresponsible trekking will ruin this majestic mountain. We are all just passersby. The keyword that I was able to take with me during the DENR is this.. RESPECT. Please take it with you as well :)

Resting :)

Day 0
10pm - ETD from Victory Pasay (Our original plan was Victory Cubao. It's still best if you could make seat reservations)


Day 1

0400 - ETA Baguio City

0430 - ETD to Ranger Station
0530 - ETA Pingkan Jo's eatery. There's another popular eatery along the winding road going to DENR. They call it Jang-Jang eatery. But according to our Pulag contact, you need to inform this eatery if you opt to eat there since there may not be enough food for big groups. This of course was just a second hand info. Still worth noting. This is where we bought our packed lunch 

0630 - ETA Ambuklao Dam. Picture taking. The dam was almost dry when we got there. The last time we were in that Dam, water is rushing like crazy that they seem to form clouds at the bottom of the dam.
0700 - Resume Jeep Ride
0800 - ETA Ambangeg - Registration and DENR seminar
0900 - Resume jeep ride to Ranger Station, short stop over at Mam Gina's Place. We opted to leave our wash clothes here. Less load

1440 ETD Ambangeg, Lunch and wash up at Mam Ginia's place.
1530 ETA Ambangeg, sign out at DENR, resume jeepney ride to Baguio. This was the part that I forgot when I decided to go back to Pulag. The long and winding road to Baguio. I threw up on both jeepney stop over.. >_<
1800 ETA at Baguio. Bought tickets to manila.
2050 Head back to Manila. Victory Baguio seems to have a very busy schedule that day. Buses leaves every 10 minuites! The bus only took 1 stop over and I believe was driving really fast. The usual 6-7 hours was reduced to 5 hrs :D and this was just the ordinary fared bus. Bravo!!!


I'd like to note some of our trip's highlights:
1. One of our friend passed out during their late socials. Good thing most of us knew the symptoms of hypothermia and was able to respond quickly and revived our friend back.
 2. 2-3 had headache (I suspected this was brain freeze effect)

3. One lost his balance and almost fell down the trail while crossing the grassland.

4. One was thought to be lost. Turns out, he was just a fast trekker. "Flew" all the way to camp 1 passing by the lead group.

As for the expenses, here's the rough estimate of my personal expense:
Fare to Baguio - 460
Jeep Fare - 567 (2 jeeps were hired by our group. @8,500 per 16 seater jeep)
DENR Fee - 200
Guide - 100 per pax. Maximum of 10 person per guide
Others - 155 + 390 (I left my bag cover which is why I need to buy 1)
Duct Tape - 167
Foods and drugs expense estimate - 500
Fare to Cubao - 450
------------------------------------
Total: 2989 -> this includes the pre climb preparation expenses..

Climb #7: Mt. Balingkilat (Talisain Cove Traverse )

Acknowledgement: PHINOE mountaineers and the organizer Sir Rommel. Kudos! And to our Aeta guides, thank you so much!

One of the nearest getaway and haven for mountaineers can be found in Subic, Zambales. The mountain range and valleys in Zambales plus the shoe string budget trips are just perfect for the city dwellers to take a rest from their stereotype corporate lives and enjoy the nature and the majestic creation of God.

Panorama view from Balingkilat's summit

Mt. Balingkilat offers a challenging trail for those who want to test their stamina. The trail from the jump off point starts with an open to grassy field and ends with a rocky terrain as you reach the camp site. The long and tiring trek is however rewarded by nature with fresh breezy mountain air, awesome sceneries of its neighboring mountains such as Cinco Picos and of course the view of the Subic Bay. But for me, the most rewarding moment was unveiled to me the following day, when I got the chance to see the 360 degrees unobstructed view of Mt. Balingkilat's summit. The view was so perfect on its own ways that it makes me so proud that I live in a country that so much diversified and special. The urbanization may have taken the city and has altered it completely but  just like Pulag and the other mountains that I got the chance to experience, Mt. Balingkilat's summit somehow breathed into me a fresh new air that I get to take home with me.

The long walk starts here

   The following day, we were all ready to face the more challenging part of the climb. To complete our planned Anawangin traverse. Our guide gave us another option though, the less traveled but more feasible Talisain traverse. He computed that with our group's current speed, it may take us more than a day to complete the Anawangin traverse and with little water supply, most of us may not be able to withstand the challenge. The whole group agreed and it proved to be a very wise decision. Our guide informed us that this it has been a while since this trail was crossed. Since the trail was not established, we had to do frequent stops to make sure that the sweeper group could follow our path. We reached the Cove at around 6pm. Sadly, we didn't have enough time to enjoy the beach since most of us needs to go back home but some opted to stay in Anawangin. We took a boat ride from Talisain Cove, dropped off some of our companions at Anawangin and reached the shores of Pundaquit at around 11pm. Rode tricycle to San Antonio Municipal and then took a bus to Manila.

Special concerns:
  Bring plenty of trail water, for newbies like me a good 3-4 litters will do most specially if you still haven't master the art of water conservation. Bring a lot of sunblock. Arm sleeves, long trekking pants or leg warmer (sleeves) and bush hat will provide additional sun and cogon protection. For those with suspected allergies, don't forget to bring anti-histamine. Need to secure 3 permits (mayor's, police station and jump off point). You also need to provide food and sleeping place for your guides.
