It was February 2007 when I experienced my first climb on a mountain together with some of my friends. We chose Hidden Falls in Pangil, Laguna because it was near in Manila and my friend has a relative living in the said place and that relative of him also served as the guide when we climbed the mountain.
We started our journey from Manila, the group met up in Alabang at around 5:00-6:00 in the morning and traveled arouund 1-2 hours to Laguna. We arrived at around 8:00 in the morning at Pangil, Laguna and before starting to hit the trails, we had a short briefing first on what we have to expect on our way up there. We also offer some prayers to our Lord and after those things we had some last minute break and then we started to hit the trail! On our way up, all of us were so excited, we took some pictures on the jump off area and some of us played some jokes to our friend who happens to be a "gay". I remember, my friend saw a big worm and she picked it and showed it to our gayfriend and that friend of ours really screamed so hard when he saw the worm.
It took us like 2-3 hours before we reached the falls. The trails were easy to climb but the trail going down to the falls was a little bit hard, because it was a little bit steep that you have to hold on to a bagging while going down. It was already lunch time when we arrived at the falls. We had a nice lunch and after eating we took lots of pictures and did some funny things there. We left the place in the middle of the afternoon and another 2-3 hours walking again. Before we finally go down, we found a nice place to took some pictures while on our wet clothes! Yeah! We didn't change it! Haha!
It was me and just a few friends who arrived last from the mountain because we were so tired already but it was ok, because we had so much fun taking some pictures there. Hehe..
