Majayjay Trekking Adventure

Summer outing experience with friends way back in 2001.

A trekking summer outing happened on a day of May 10
11 women trooped early mornin’
with their get ups…light backpacks
rubber shoes and pants “waterproofs”…

at 7:00 am the engine start running
praying…sleeping…laughing….and talking…
finally after 3 hours the group  arrived
feeling excited though  a little bit nervous inside…

it was the most adventurous of them all
passing through the raging waters  from side to side
big rocks …every step so steep…slide and slip
climbing the top with the aid of a bamboo stick…

at the peak of the mountain
there the blue butterflies flyin’
crystal water were fallin’
amazed by the beauty of nature
those moments only memory can capture…

Majayjay a mirror of life’s journey
to conquer one’s own fears, face realities and adversaries
move on and trash out hearts’ baggages
and with a friend on hand to pull you through and through
in the end  is a rest, a taste of happiness…

left Majayjay with a smile
though it may be for awhile
a real breather from the urban life
now the writer can only sigh
wishing to come back in Majayjay.
