Ice Cream with a twister

Have you always wondered if you could eat something different and innovative in the Philippines?

You have to try this ice cream by Iscreamist!

It may look like a small crowded and cheap place but guess again... Inside, you will find the most innovative thing ever brought or at least maybe just maybe (Do not quote me on this) invented in the Philippines.

Dont take my word for it.

Having Liquid Nitrogen in your hands is kind of empowering but it also comes with a warning that it should never be taken home, put in a concealed box because it will explode. It should never be played with, you should always be careful when dipping your food in it. Do not let kids put their hands in or it might break their fingers literally. Heed my warnings!

I swear you won't be steered wrong...

TRY IT!

The Burger Project

They have vegan burgers...
They also have customized burgers too!












Can't wait to eat my burger!




Truffle fries!!! I so wish you can smell it...

Well, after eating all of it. It was quite disappointing except for the truffle fries but it could've been better too. The angus burger patty didnt taste good, and was masked by all of the other things i put in the sandwich. The vegan tofu burger was full of starch. I so wished it was much better. You decide...

Lets kick some balls!

At the camp...
Football at a covered location with turf grounds.









They even have surf lessons, yoga, etc.

Nice place just lacks some more ventilation and some more fans.

The Misadventure to Mt. Pulag

The Adventure Begins in Mt. Pulag...

I am dreading the day when we are scheduled to travel for our adventure to Mt. Pulag. My friend Con told me about this discounted offer to climb Mt. Pulag at Deal Grocer.com. She was so excited that I also got swayed to do it and here we are...

I am a stranger to any outdoor activity which got me to check out all of the websites, stores, & pictures. You name it, I have looked and searched for it. I am kind of obsessive about these things, especially if there is a chance I might go hungry, cold or tired. I am also a stickler for the travel itinerary and time schedule. I just want to decrease the stress I may feel on the days leading to any of my new journeys. So, here goes my Obsessive-Compulsive side taking over for now.

For any newbie, of course, you need to first search the web for any information about the place you intend to visit. I have found that these website gave me so much information and more.
Mt. Pulag is on the UNESCO tentative List to be declared as a world heritage site, visit 
http://whc.unesco.org/en/tentativelists/5030/

For any information about your climb visit,
http://www.mountpulagadventures.com/
http://www.mountain-forecast.com/peaks/Mount-Pulag

Looking back on the day when I agreed to go on this journey, if I knew how much I was going to spend for it, I might have thought twice. I saw this site, http://thefitpinoy.com/prepare-mt-pulag-climb/, and started from there. Mr.FitPinoy itemized the  list of things I needed to prepare for...and oh what a list for a first timer like me. I had no idea where and how I would start. But everyone had to start somewhere, so I started with whatever I could find in Divisoria.

I found the following in my favorite place Divisoria, 
(Tip: Go there with someone so you can haggle for a cheaper price, and go early (7am) so you will be the "Buena Mano customer")
 1. Whistle (which was also a flint fire starter with a compass) Php 100
 2. Heavy duty Flashlight 6 inches Black (with SOS, Red pointer) Php 300
 3. Small Headlight Php 100
 4. Batteries for the headlight (small round and flat battery) Php 30
 5. Metal Hammer 6 in (with screwdriver, plier, Knife, Saw) Php 150
 6. Stretchable head gear Php 20
 7. Hiking shoes (Haha! I know what you may be thinking but I was thinking I was going to use it only once so I just bought a nice sole insert so my feet wont get hurt) Php 1400
 8. Glow stick Php 100
 9. Leggings Php 100
 10. Hiking Backpack (with Rain cover, many pockets, back board, and side straps) Php 1000
 11. Foldable cup Php 50

And of course when you go to Divisoria you are bound to buy much more stuff...

A few weeks after, I keep on buying stuff one by one even if the climb was a few months away.

From True Value, I bought warming gloves which can be reused and a shovel.
The other essentials I bought at ROX in Boni high street like my emergency blanket P149 (I think):)
For my utilities and other kikay stuff I went to the Japanese stores and the local groceries.

Last Tuesday, we had our briefing with our guides Manny, Jay, and Roman from Mountain Hardwear.
They gave us a list of essentials... Thankfully the Sleeping Bag, Tent, & Food are provided. One less thing in my very heavy bag the better.
