May 26, 2024 | Mt. Batulao - Nasugbu, Batangas
We made it!
Hanggang ngayon parang di parin ako makapaniwala kung paano ako nakaakyat at nakababa ng bundok na 'to despite sa weather.
First time ko mag commute pa Manila mag-isa since doon ang pickup point at dito palang nagdadalawang isip na ako kung itutuloy ko pa. I know malayo ang pickup point sa lugar ko pero pinush ko nalang din. Main plan ko talaga, Dau-Cubao terminal then mag grab or angkas/joyride nalang to Greenfield. Mabuti nalang at pinapasabay na ako ni Kuya Jarvs (nakasama ko sa prev hike) from Cubao terminal tas nag MRT papuntang Greenfield at nakatipid pa.
While naghihintay kami dun sa food truck fest, may pa live band or basta accoustic na sobrang napapa chill yung lugar at sobrang natuwa na naman ako tas andami ding food. Then after isang oras ata, biglang may fireworks sa kabila. Hindi ko alam kung yun ba yung sa pyromusical na balak ko din sana puntahan na nagbalak bumili ticket kasi 11pm pa pickup time so mahaba yung paghihintay ko. Para sana masulit yung pag cocommute ko sa Manila hahaha. Pero hindi ko na tinuloy kasi baka matraffic ako at di makabalik ng 11pm sa pickup point. Kaya nung may live band tas fireworks narin, inisip ko nalang if ma cancel man yung hike namin, okay na ako magstay muna dito. Di na rin ako uuwi ng Pampanga na malungkot.
Medyo ambon lang naman the entire night sa Manila hanggang sa pag byahe na at okay naman daw ang weather sa Batangas. Around 4:30am ata kami nag start na ng trekking at medyo umaambon lang. Bumili na ako ng raincoat at gloves sa jump off para ready na. Wala akong headlamp so nakikisingit nalang talaga ako sa mga may flashlight hanggang sa di ko namalayan nauuna na pala ako sa kanila, sumusunod na ako sa tour guide. Hahaha
Noong nasa bundok na talaga kami, as in parang zero visibility at puro fog lang nakikita tapos mahangin lang ng konte. Noong nasa kalagitnaan na, medyo kitang kita na talaga yung fog kapag titingin ka sa baba hanggang sa'min. Sobrang na amaze lang ako dahil kakaiba 'to eh, ang gandang tignan, napapa wow parin talaga ako. Hanggang sa medyo napapalakas na yung hangin dahil pataas na rin kami ng pataas sa bundok. There's a time na talagang nag stop ako sa trail dahil bangin talaga tapos parang hindi ko mabalance sarili ko sa hangin. If tutuloy ko lakad, baka malaglag na ako. So nung kumalma na yung hangin, tuloy na.
Bale may 12 peaks yung Mt. Batulao at start ata ng peak 8 or 10, andun na yung gagapang kana sa medyo mabato, paakyat na talaga, tapos puro lubid na aalalay paakyat lalo na nung malapit na sa summit. Di ko na talaga maisipang mag cellphone, mag picture/video and all dahil as in focus ako sa trail. Yung vid na umaakyat uploaded here ay galing kay beb Riana. Sya din nagpilit sakin na magpicture kami nung pababa na at naka chikahan ko sya since solo joiner din pala sya.
Around 7am or so nasa summit na kami at solid bigla yung lakas ng hangin at buhos ng ulan. Although pabugso bugso yung ulan pero yung hangin tapos sobrang foggy parin ay solid talaga. Hinintay nalang namin yung iba maka akyat tapos group picture tas bumaba na rin. Sa pagbaba doon na talaga sobrang maulan tapos ang hirap sa part ko na nagsasalamin dahil basang basa at hirap na ako makakita. Kung tatanggalin ko naman, mas lalo akong mahirapan. Hahaha. Pero push parin talaga. Sobrang dulas na nung pababa namin at dun na ako talaga nadulas sa may lubid na part.
Nag side trip lang kami sa Tagaytay for early lunch at deserve na deserve namin ng bulalo after hike. Hahahaha sobrang pawi na yung pagod. Mga 3:30pm nakabalik na ng Manila so nag book nalang ako ng grab pa Cubao terminal since umuulan na rin. Another 2+ hours byahe pa hanggang makauwi pero noong nakita ko na yung singnage na Dau terminal, hayyyy ang saya dahil sa wakas ito na. Hahahaha. Ikaw parin ang aking pahinga Pampanga after sa nakakapagod na pahinga! 😆
Sobrang thankful ako sa experience na 'to dahil sobrang nag enjoy parin ako. Yung challenges talaga kasi na akala ko di ko kaya lagpasan ay nagawa ko. Kung noong sa Benguet hike ako nasabi ko ay "Mas masakit pa pala 'to sa breakup", kahapon naman ang nasabi ko while pababa kami ay "Feeling ko after neto, parang kayang kaya ko na lagpasan lahat ng dadating na problema". ✨

rewatching An Unexpected Journey and caught Bilbo saying he got "all the way to frogmorton once" on one of his walks
if my math is right, the distance between frogmorton and hobbiton is at minimum 30km. Bilbo walked at least 30km from his house in (presumably) one day or maybe even less. It seems like it's been played off as a joke in the movie to betray a sense of naivity (as if Bilbo thinks a walk in the Shire is a formidable distance and he'll be fine walking the entire way to Erebor without a pony) but 30km in one day is really impressive, especially for someone with such short legs
it's probably more than likely that this is just a side effect of PJ ignoring the books and making the distances between places wildly inaccurate, but I'd like to think Bilbo is just the power walking champion of the Shire
#30km is realistically possible for someone who is in good physical shape and accustomed to hiking regularly#and Bilbo canonically goes on long walks frequently. so I don't think this is a stretch at all#the hobbit#bilbo baggins#an unexpected journey

The Power Of Ley Lines
Ley lines are straight lines or tracks, essentially energy grids that stretch across the earth in every direction. The ancients marked these lines with stone monuments and pagan temples. Our ancient ancestors could feel the magick and power emanating from these lines, so they set up natural sanctuaries and called the intersections of the ley lines sacred places.
If we look at some of the world's most important sites on a map, we can draw straight lines between them. These lines form a grid-like pattern across the entire surface of the planet. Stonehenge, the Great Pyramids of Giza, and Machu Pichu are sacred sites the connect, through the lines, with many other sites, including landmarks like Mt. Everest.
You won't find the ley lines on a typical geographical map or in a history book. They are mostly a topic in occult books or folklore. The contemporary concept was developed by Alfred Watkins in 1921, who believed so strongly in ley lines that he organized a group, that gathered in England and walked the countryside in search of them.
Faerie Paths and Corpse Roads
Spirits often travel the earth along ley lines. In England and throughout Europe there is a concept referred to as a 'corpse road'. A corpse road was a path taken by funerary processions to escort the recently deceased to their final resting place. Terrifying stories are told of supernatural creatures on corpse trails that, more often than not, correspond with ley lines.
Faeries, also known as the Fae, the Fair Folk, or the Sidhe, are known to travel along specified paths as well. There are many stories from Ireland and the British Isles that describe Faerie pathways leading into hills or over Fae bridges. These paths also follow ley lines. People are warned not to ever travel a Fae path during twilight hours (dawn or dusk) or at night, for fear the Faeries would steal them away.
The Importance of Ley Lines Today
Though the concept has ancient roots, ley lines are just as relevant in modern practice and very much affect us. The planet is like a living being, in and of itself. It produces energetic vibrations that we can both feel and interact with, if the conditions are right. The ley lines are like earth's veins; sacred sites where the planet allows us to easily tap into her essence.
Of you feel particularly revitalized after visiting your secret hiking spot, swimming in a body of water, or digging your toes into a patch of dirt or moss, then you know a taste of the potency that comes with being near a ley line.
The Affects of Ley Lines
• If your home is on a ley line, it may make thr energy more intense or chaotic.
• You may not be able to relax and sleeping may be difficult.
• You may experience increased paranormal activity, including apparitions, disembodied voices, and encounters with spirits, Faeries, or elementals.
• If your business is on a ley line, you will most likely notice an increase in energy, positive or negative. Your business may be considered haunted.
• When ley lines intersect, any building located on the intersection will have a constant flow of energy. This will cause supernatural occurrences and regular chaos.
• At ancient/sacred sites on ley lines, you will experience spiritual development, enlightenment, awakenings, visions, feelings of peace, messages from beyond or spiritual downloads.
Discovering Nearby Ley Lines
Finding your local ley lines is easier than one wound expect. Think of any historical landmarks in your area. Native, ancient, and pagan landmarks are excellent starting points, as are caves, rivers/creeks, manmade mounds, burial grounds, etc. The ancient natives were very in tune with nature and knew the lines intimately.
In addition, consider local sites with well-known hauntings, supernatural activity, or legends attached to them. Locations with high paranormal activity are most often on or near a ley line. For example, Gettysburg PA, Washington DC, and further, every state capital are located on ley lines.
Locating a Ley Line
After investigating your local sites and finding possible line spots, it's time to make the journey to confirm it in person. This is a sacred journey and you should prepare as such. Cleanse yourself before traveling to any sacred place so you can be as spiritually pure as possible. This will make the energy from the lines easier to sense. It's also a wise idea to bring along a pendulum or dowsing rods. Once there, be open to any sensation. You may feel nervous or excited.
You can dowse and find which areas have the highest energetic charge, test each place with the pendulum/rods, if they spin or swing vigorously, you are very close to the ley line.
Ley Line Magick
In addition to being excellent places for spirit work and necromancy, the energy of the lines can be harnessed to super charge manifestation. Enlightenment is primary. It should go without saying that visiting a ley line give you divine insight, spiritual downloads, and/or a total spiritual awakening.
Healing is another prominent form of magick performed at ley lines. While there, ask the earth and the spirits to send healing vibrations up through your feet and throughout your entire being. Stand still for a while and feel the healing energy pulse through your body. Few sensations match this potent connection.
Other forms of ley line magick include drawing love, abundance, meditation, grounding, cleansing, and charging. You can perform entire rituals on top of ley lines to add primal power to the working and drastically increase the success rate of your spell.

Throwback to that October day in Switzerland when I ran from work straight to the train station so I could catch the earliest possible train and hike to my favorite mountain lake and get back before dark.
I was in such a rush that I did not remember to leave the leftover boiled egg I had with me in the fridge at the workplace.
I took a boiled egg for a hike.

St. Mary Falls in Glacier National Park, Montana

You can almost hear the rushing water in this picture of St. Mary Falls at Montana’s Glacier National Park. To get to this picturesque waterfall and its aqua-blue pools you’ll need to journey to the east side of the park near St. Mary Lake. Glacier is home to 700 miles of hiking trails, including the short day hike that leads to St. Mary Falls, taking visitors through conifer forests. If you feel like chasing more waterfalls, you can extend the hike and journey to nearby Virginia Falls. Don’t forget your camera and be on the lookout for woodpeckers, moose, and wildflowers.
