2013-03-31T01:44:00.003-07:00

Why Team Brackets? Read along for you to find out... (",) As what some of our friends say, "Many responded, but a few committed." This was the reason why I didn't really felt the excitement the night before our trek to Mt. Pinagbanderahan (Gulugod Baboy). It was planned a month before the said date thinking that many will be able to prepare and join us. Yes! There were fifteen people

Mt. Pico de Loro- Laagan Adventures' First Luzon Mountain

2013-03-29T07:27:00.003-07:00

Because I was excited for my first encounter in the mountains of Luzon, I only had a little time to sleep the night before our Mt. Pico de Loro trek. It was 1A.M. when I woke up to prepare my stuff and our meeting time was 5AM. Wasn't that an enthusiastic first timer? Well, of course, I needed to prepare all my trekking gears that time (my bag, my bottled water and food, and my cellphone).

Laagan Adventures Reborn... (HK Birthday Week)

2012-10-29T09:21:00.003-07:00

It's been "centuries" since I updated this page... Honestly, I became bored and tired in writing articles for my adventures. One factor which had contributed to this boredom and tiredness was that I became so busy with my shifting schedule at work. Weehooh! After spending days of enjoyment in a vacation, I needed to report back to work immediately and must even use the weekends to cope up

Lechon Kawali

2012-03-12T05:58:00.000-07:00

Just finished half of the pork leg. Wheeww!!! I couldn't resist... There are different varieties of Lechon Kawali, but my Mom's own way of cooking this recipe is my most favorite. It's not the pork belly she's using, but the leg part. Seems hard to eat, huh?... It isn't, actually... I would always want to have this crispy and juicy pinoy food prepared in every occasion. And

Visiting the most beautiful waterfall in the Philippines is included in my wish lists this year... And I was lucky to be invited by Davao Kodakers Club in their Surigao trip last week because one of their itineraries was a stopover at Tinuy-an Falls in Bislig City, Surigao del Sur.

Saturday Morning Trip (A walk to Remember)

2011-05-16T22:34:00.000-07:00

We have been longing for a department teambuilding since first quarter of this year, however, due to a busy canning life it is always cancelled. Last weekend, we finally got our free time (well, some of us were free the whole day, I wasn't). We started walking around 5 A.M., at dahil nga mali na naman ang weather forecast that instead of a cloudy day ay naging sunny, bumati kaagad sa amin ang
