CLIMB TO THE TOP OF SUSONG DALAGA (.)(.) (THE BREAST OF YOUNG LADY MOUNTAIN) 😂

Its silly and slightly funny but yes this is the name of the mountain that, our squad once visited before in Matikiw Laguna, if you want guys, to have some good adventure and once in a life time experienced this Summer, you have to see and visit Susong Dalaga, by your own squad and Favorite people, but be too careful and safe.

INTRODUCING OUR SQUAD this photo is from my instragram account (the man who takes picture of us is dan leo (the photographer) and at hes back is your, yours truly,the (blogger/musician/artist) and at my right is emay, (the leader), the man with hes pocket bag is pareng ron (the dreamer), and lastly the man sits on the stone Arvin (the lover boy).

Since the summer of year 2017 is so very hot when you stay at home, our squad decide to do some very unusual course of experience to unwind somewhere. Me and my friends have all decided to climb at some mountains near in our province in Laguna. First we have a bunch of choices to pick, from which mountain we like to hike and climb, at that time , Dan Leo one of my friends, recommend to seek some waterfalls, instead of mountains, the others, disagree beacause, thats so very far and expensive when it comes to our budget. When the time counts that day, and were all think that we have a next time to do the hike, reymar our Leader of the Squad, decided to text one of his cousin from their Province from Barangay Matikiw Laguna, he said to his cousin, that our Squad wants to visit their place and wants to do some adventures, and suddenly, he's cellphone rings, and we recieve a call from his cousin, and says, he definitely invited our squads to their province. 9:00 on that morning,were all packed up our bags and prepare our self for a long ride. As we travel to the Jeepney, we ask reymar, what kind of place, where about to see in that province? he saids to us, that, thats a very simply place to live with, all things you see there is attach by nature, there lots of animals, like cows, goats, goose ( a lil tongue twist for you guys‚) and specially horses, the other is in the forest, while the chat is on going with our squad, i certainly look outside of the jeep and see what is going on, and i kind of shock a little to what i see to the side of the road ,that some shirtless man that full of bloods, to their back of their body, and swings sharply blades to it to make some wounds and slice their back skins, after that, three of their members has to do the cruxifixion, one of them act like he is Jesus. That is the unique tradition of other Filipinos in some barangays (small village), to past the holy weeks here in the ph, this is the way of them to, dramatized the days of Jesus Christ suffered before he died to the cross and saved us from our sins.

Senakulo people in the Philippines who dramatized the days jesus suffered.

While we were inside the jeepney, I asked my friend how long it will take us to reach our destination?, he answerd , before lunch. After that long ride, i never realize that their so many very known town in Laguna we do pass by, that time, first the Pagsanjan who is very known to their Majestic pagsanjan falls and mezmerizing water surface around it,

next the town of lumban known because to their traditional embroidery of (Barong and Saya) the Barong is a a white collar long sleeve's who is wear by a man for some wedding or casually occasion here in the PH its made by a thread fiber of a pineapple or ramie ,And Saya is For the Lady's Traditonal Fashion, that has very long and ankle-length outer skirt tied at its designed waist.

and lastly Paete Laguna, who is the Center of wood curving industry and Other Culture Arts here in the Philippines. Some people at paete is Known how to curv woods , and make it an artistic design, they Designs , holy Statue, The Carabao, houses made fro woods, animals, cars, people or atist and many more, comes for their artistic mind.

We do arrive to the province of matikiw at 1:00 PM, i think, the sun is so very angry that day, i looked around me and all i seem to see is Green Nature that so very nice to our eyes. We do rest a little bit in the

Kubo (nippa hut)

of kuya Deputy Near to his house, while the cousin of emay is buy us some foods to to fill our stomach, and the remaining is to carry on the mountain.

kuya Olans (the cousin of Emay) have two dogs who is expert to hike the mountain, their name is lebron and Jordan

after we eat our lunch, we packed our belongings, foods and emergency kit and do the hike and adventure that we want that day,First we have to walk very long on the field full of grass and muds, we do pass other small barangay its true they have lots of animals in that place and all you can see is a forest and nature.

the sun is on the center of the clouds, that day,. which is the reason to add some gasp and sweats for us to continue our journey, but that is not for us to quit and stop, so our squad have a plan that if anyone in the group is feel tired and gasping, we have to stop over anywhere in the forest. After an hours of walking, jumping and hiking, we do made it to the center of the mountain which is hard for us now to climb, because our strength and stamina is kind a little low, so we have to rest a little bit, because our body is not takes anymore walks.

Dan leo thinks that he cant be no longer continue our hiking, the reason is, he didn't have much enough sleep last night before our adventure. He feel so very tired and hes face is so pale to white, so Arvin decided to cary hes things and bags to help Dan, we do rest for a while in some big tree of that mountain,
i took, strong branch of wood in that forest to support my body to fall down to the muddy soil of the and the others do continue to walk on the half center of the mountain.

An hours to pass, kuya Olan, our (mountain guide) Announced that we are so very near to top of the mountain because he see the talahib (a long strong grass that grown in the mountains), the long grass help us for our hike because we have to grab some of this to not fall down to death, the wind is so cold when you are at the near top, you see the fog of the clouds and the lake of Laguna from down there and some town in Laguna and Rizal. The Scenery Motivates us to continue our adventure, we rest and laydown and sit to the talahib to do some selfies and capture that moment in our cellphone cameras.

Finally we reached the top of the breast of young lady, or (mount tagapo) we do arrived there in 4:00 in the afternoon, everyone feel so tired but happy. When suddenly i decided to Scream and Shout my Feeling for the beautiful scenery that we are looking at, we do shout some bad words because of the courses and obstacle that we pass. Every steps that we make from that mountain is very intense and high-risk, one wrong move you're finished, so we are so very careful and making sure that we are safe on every rocks we hopping in, we see some things that we cant see in our life before, like the hills full of green trees, some Super Big rocks, and a top of many mountains that we headed, And kuya olans two dogs Lebron and Jordan, that they sniff and track our way to the top of the mountain and that day everything is so Perfect and Unexpected.

The sun sets from the west, and we dont want to miss that magical twilight moment that the color orange, yellow and blue mixed at the sky, and it gives us beautiful rare experience, it looks like a painting of Some Expert artist from the top of that mountain (GOD) The Special thing happened that day, is this ,is the first time for us to see, the city lights little by little To Switch on and Sparkled from the City And Villages Near us, i think other people never witnessed such a beutiful and rare moment like that in their lives and we are so very blessed to see that.

We decided to cooked our dinner, everyone has a task to do with, mine is to find dry woods from that mountain to make our fire to cooked with and the others preparing, our instant dish like, sardines in can, tuna in can and meats in can, (its more can/fun in the Philippines) and our other member of the squad is on duty to cooked the rice properly due to heavy wind uppon us its hard to maintain our fire to stay calm.

The night comes, and all of our stomach totally fulled with foods in can and rice that slightly cooked, but thats not reason to be choosy or picky, because all of us is so very hungry before, due to our trail and obstacle we do pass on that mountain.

After Dinner, we dont know that kuya olan has a secret for us in hes bag, and he said that he decided to show that thing, on that night, we dont know that hes hiding some lambanog (coconut wine), and we are so very shock and happy to have that wine, due to cold wind of the top of that mountain, we need some body warmer and that is the answer to our prayer the Lambanog!

we do have a lot of topics and jokes to talk about that night, and discuss our goals and priority for how we l become successful in life, and we have met some good young friends of kuya olans in that village that summer.

And Everyone in the Squad, has an advice to the young friends we've met that night.

First is Pareng Ron, He said to them that if you want to be Successful in life you have to overcome your fears and weaknesses.

Second is Dan, he tell them that, the key to become successful in life is the knowledge and education that our parents give for us.

The third is Arvin, he tell them that you have to be friendly to people no matter what happened, he said to them, that if you are friendly you have lots of houses of your friends to eat with.

Fourth is Reymar, He said that they have to be strong and brave and fearless, to the problems that they may encountered someday, he said to them that they have to be strategic when it comes to hold some money when you have a job in our life.

And The Fifth is me Noriel, i telled them that if you want to be happy in your life, you have to face the giants, or big trial in life that ahead for us, you have to set aside the people who, hurts you in their words, you have to beat your bully's not on physichal but from the emotional way that you know, you have to Avoid them in your life, i told them that be Kind to people specially for children, you have to share what you have for now, you have to do good deeds for them and to your friends and Family.

After we drink and talks about life me and our squad decide to look up the sky, and see the beauty of the stars up there, the weather and nature give us, stunning scene, ,because the moon is so very near from us and stars brights like a sparkled fireworks like we seen in the movies, we lay down our heads and look up to the world that Gods Create for us.

I wonder where we go when we die
If there is anything past our lost sun and our sky?
Cuz airports only take us so high
Is it hidden in the stars?
What's the answer to your soul lying?
I wonder do we get to come back
I wonder if I will remember these questions I've asked
Or will I just start over again?
I hope it's not too hard to find all of my old friends.
