Gensan: 5th Mountain Balakayo Adventure Park

Oo 5th mountain talaga. Marami e. hahaha! Don't ask me what to see in 1st to 4th. Tinanong ko rin sila niyan at wala akong napala. lol! 

Since Marx already gave me our itinerary a week before we went to Gensan, I already had an idea what to expect. I was surprised to see few habal habal rides going to each destinations. It would be my first time since I really wouldn't ride one while in the metro. Ayaaaaw! 

I'm a zipline addict. Whenever there is and if money permits, hindi ako kailangang pilitin (pero pinauna ko si Marx nung nag zipline kami. lol!)

Kuya: Ang bigat ng likod...

Me: Ha? Ano yun kuya.. may sinasabi ka?!?! hmm?

Marx: (laughs)

Hmp! Hindi pa ko diretsuhin ni kuya. Badtrip. hahaha!

Some of my accidental shots while riding a habal-habal..

Have you tried Kadang-kadang?

Riding kadang-kadang used to be one of the skills I learned during my PE class. Yes I was able to try one on my younger years. Bravo hindi ba?! hihihi! It's good to know that it still exists and that kids are familiar with it. Bangas na bangas ang tuhod ko dahil sa larong to. hahaha!

After about 40 minutes, kuya said one must get off since the road is much more bumpy. He would just go back to that spot to pick up the other. I was so tired so even if we decided to leave Marx first, I got off too for a while. My legs were numb. I couldn't stand up straight. Remember Angelina Jolie's pose that became viral on the net? Ganun. hahaha! Ang sagwa lang..

peek a boo. hihihi!

I'm on a high

After a while, Kuya driver left to pick up Marx. I was with the 2 zipline guides on a waiting shade. Then they approached me with..

Kuya 1: Taga san po kayo ma'am?
Me: Manila pa po.
Kuya 2: Ilan po kayo?
Me: Dalawa lang, may isa pang darating. Di daw kami kaya iahon ng sabay e.
Kuya 1: Ha?! Dalawa lang? E anong gagawin nyo dito?!
Me: Uhh.. Ehh...... Mag zizipline po?

Tumawa lang sila. Ewan.. hihihi!

Care to have lunch?

Marx: Ate! May pagkain po ba dito?

Ate: May manok po kami? Kaya lang po isang buo po dapat ang oorderin nyo.. Di po kami nag luluto ng tingi.

Nakakapagtaka lang. Baka magkapakpak na kami pagkatapos kumain ng sangdamukal na manok at hindi na kailanganin pang mag zipline. Tiis ganda na lang sa Gardenia Ube and Cheese flavor (kailangan talaga sabihin ang flavor e no? lol!).

We were the first guests to arrive. They told us they were experiencing energy crisis that time (brownout lang in short). So we taught we need to wait for the electricity before we start flying. Flying talaga. Hindi nakatiis si ate. 

Ate: Uhm Ma'am.. Sir.. Ready na po kayo?
Kami: E brownout po diba?

Ate: Hahaha! Naku sorry po. Hindi po kailangan ng kuryente para mag zipline. Nag-aantayan lang po pala tayo.

Mag iisang oras na kami ngumangatngat ng tinapay at chichirya. Hayz!

We need to trek for a bit to reach the launch pad. Torture talaga at naguumapaw sa init ang araw. I hate trekking to death.

That's Marx.. Na nakangiti sa lahat ng pictures. lol!

Naaalala ko si Cedie, ang munting prinsipe, sa kanya.. Ayan at aliw na aliw pa habang tumatakbo

Woot woot! Here we go!

Scary. Promise. Kaya nga pinauna ko si Marx. lol!

I told you.. nakangiti siya lagi. hihihi! I'm sure.. kabog kung kabog ang dibdib niyan

Sha ikaw na! ^_^

salumpwet ^_^

We proceeded to the the other launch pad. Ito yung para makabalik ka na sa pinanggalingan. This time we rode in tandem.

Kandong shot. hahahaha!

Sabit ^_^

We also tried riding the open air cable car. At least we got to do sight seeing in relax pace. Wala talagang habas ang pinawis ko sa zipline na yan. Free flowing.

Open air cable car

We were charged around P450.00 for the dual zipline and cable car. (Sorry, memory gap ako. Marx magkano nga?) We paid another P30.00 for the entrance fee (yan sigurado ako).

We went down and found this spot. Parang mini Baguio lang...

Si Marx at ang asong pakalat kalat na handa akong lapain anytime. Kainis! Amoy aso ba ko?!?!

At dahil usisera ako, I forced Marx to take a picture of me in the veranda. Sumunod din siya. hihihi! May nakulong na ba sa trespassing?

We had so much fun though the habal habal ride sucks. Ang sakit sa singit. hahaha! We headed straight to Amigotel to eat lunch and change for Water Tubing in Saranggani. Dito nyo na malalaman kung bakit 10 minutes lang kami nag stay sa Saranggani at umuwi din agad. Abangan....

Note: For the record. This is the longest gap from the last entry. Excited na ko para sa ibang lakwatsa kaya ayoko na ng backlogs. Recently, I thought of giving up blogging just because I felt it is required or something. I almost forgot the reason for creating it. I blog to store memories while on the road.. so I could show it to my future children, so I could escape my what-ifs, so I could fulfill my childhood dream na maging writer kuno. Minsan nakakabagot lang.. I'm no longer excited to blog. Ngayong taon na lang to. I promise. Whew! Pero nagpapasalamat talaga ako sa mga iilang tagasubaybay. Nagiging emo na ko. hahaha!
