Mt. Tagapo of Talim Island

If you want to experience something new this summer, you gotta try Mt. Tagapo. It is a minor climb and can be done whole day. Mt. Tagapo is located in Talim Island of Laguna Lake and the port can be found near the public market of Binangonan, Rizal. It is better to catch the earliest boat trip possible so that longer time can be used for the trek. At the port, ask for the boat bound to Brgy. Janosa. Trip usually takes 1 hour to the jump-off.

Mt. Malipunyo: Batangas' Highest Peak

Ang Bundok Malipunyo ang pinakamataas na bundok sa lalawigan ng Batangas. Ito ay matatagpuan sa Bayan ng Santo Tomas.

Taong 2013 nang una naming sinubok akyatin ang pinakamataas na tuktok (Peak 3) ng nasabing bundok. Sa kasamaang-palad, pinigil kami ng napakalakas na hangin at ulan na nagdulot ng madulas na daraanan. Bukod dito, nagkaroon kami ng kalituhan sa tamang direksyon dulot ng kawalan ng gabay. Gayunpaman, nakarating kami sa unang tuktok (Peak 1).

Taong 2014 nang muli naming sinubok akyatin ang Bundok Malipunyo. Sa pagkakataong ito, mas marami na kaming kasama. Sa unang bahagi ng paglalakbay, isang mahabang kalsada ang aming nilakad hanggang makarating kami sa paanan ng bundok.

Daan tungo sa paanan ng bundok.

The Journeying Chemist in Singapore

A dream come true. I celebrated my 26th birthday outside the country. It was actually for work but of course, I took the opportunity to visit some of Singapore's tourist destinations.

Day 1. Singapore Zoo.

We arrived at the hotel before lunch time. We took a short rest and then prepared for our first gala. I was really excited because it is the first time I get to visit a zoo. There are a lot of animals (obviously, haha). I really enjoyed it but I think my colleague enjoyed it more.

Hi there Sir Giraffe!


Hi there Polar Bear!
