The allusion surrounding climbing mountains and how difficult it - TopicsExpress



          

The allusion surrounding climbing mountains and how difficult it is has always been ingrained in my consciousness ever since. However, I never really related to this on a personal level - I never had the chance to try climbing one myself. Back in university, I hear my friends tell stories, with much gusto and exhilaration, of their mountain climbing escapades. And I would flatly appear interested and reply, “Ah talaga?” They would invite me and I would always defer the opportunity to climb. Mahirap daw eh, kailangan mag-effort. Wag na muna, wala akong time. And so when another invitation came from my father-in-law (Jacq’s dad) to hike Luzon’s highest mountain 3 days before the climb, I initially hesitated as a learned impulse. I scrambled over every excuse I could muster to pass on this chance. Sige na nga. Something inside me just commanded me to let go and say yes. Later, Jacq and I found ourselves scouring the mall for mountain gears and then packing them. We went ahead for a physically demanding activity not even have had any endurance exercises done. Bahala na si batman.
