Trivia: My header background was taken during my Igbaras climb, the picture depicting the range adjacent to Mt. Taripis, as viewed from Mt. Napulak summit. And if you will look closely... you will see a vertical white line on the lower part of the center of the picture. Yes... it's a long cascading waterfalls alright. :D
The mountain's color looks so vivid! Is it really that green? That must have looked really good.
ReplyDeleteBtw, I noticed my Solitary Wanderer blog is pointing to Blogspot. My correct URL is www.SolitaryWanderer.com. Please replace? ^_^ Thanks!!
The mountain is as green as in the picture, in my naked eyes, but when my camera took the shot I was disappointed so I edited it.
ReplyDeleteHmmm... will change the link. But I could swear that when I click your link in my blogroll I am automatically redirected to your site. One thing I noticed though is that the most recent post shown in my blogroll is not updated, as versus to your tweets.
I recently moved to WP.org and I don't know what happened. Almost all of the links reverted to my blogger address. Oh well.
ReplyDeleteAre you based in the Visayas? I'd like to go caving this summer. There's one scheduled by TriExplore(?) end of May in Samar but I don't want to take it; they have over 30 participants ata. I want my group small.
Nope I am Manila based. Sayang, who wouldn't want to go on caving in Samar? Joni Bonifacio arranges caving tours. I don't know how you would go about it, maybe request him to arrange a smaller group?
ReplyDeleteSayang... :(
I really admire your stamina and passion for climbing mountains. Your name really fits you :)
