Mt. Talamitam: My Mother Mountain
Sitting at the top of Mt. Talamitam last Feb. 2016 It was February this year when I finally said "yes" to my friend Toni's invitation to hike a mountain. After several invitations that I declined in the past, she was able to lure me in (and it's something that I did not regret!) I was actually scared as it is my first time to climb a mountain. Thoughts like "What will I do?", "Can I do it?", you know the usual "what if's" that you can think of when doing something you never did before. But all of these were gone when I started my journey with the mountains and then fell in love with it. :) With my friend, Toni. :) Mt. Talamitam is my "Mother Mountain". This is the term that mountaineers use to acknowledge the first mountain that they have climbed and reached the summit. Honestly, I joined the climb out or curiosity, to understand the enthusiasm that my other mountaineer friends have in climbing mount...
