Litratong Pinoy #009 : Mithi (Wish)
2008-08-22 04:46:00 Sa uulitin, nais ko pong ihabol ang aking litrato para sa linggong ito. Ang tema ngayong linggo ay mithi, o wish, sa wikang Filipino. Kaya naman ito po ang aking naisipang isali:Bata pa ako ay talagang pinangarap ko nang makita ng malapitan ang Mt. Everest na siyang tinaguriang pinakamataas na bundok sa buong mundo. Kung hindi naman ito posible ay kahit na lamang sa paanan nito. Natupad naman ang minimithi kong ito nuong nakaraang Disyembre nang ako ay pumunta ng Nepal para sa isang conference. Hindi man ako nakasama sa mga duon sa chartered flight papuntang tuktok mismo, nakita ko naman ito mula sa bintana ng eroplanong sinakyan ko pauwi. Tulad ng Mayon Volcano, hindi basta-basta nagpapakita ang Mt. Everest, kaya dyan sa litrato ang tuktok nito ay nakabalot sa ulap. Sayang, ano po? Pero teka, yan nga ba ang Mt. Everest? Kayo na po ang humusga dahil ako man ay nalilito kung alin dyan ang bundok na pakay ko *lol*Sana sa susunod, makapunta naman ako sa Bhutan, Tibet at Mongolia. Iyan...

"I Have a Dream" Mount Everest
2008-05-22 17:51:00 No politics weekend, 96 hour break in honor of our fallen hero's Since I was a child I had a deep love for mountains. I would draw all my pictures with mountains in them. I mean every picture. Well due to living in a flat tundra above the 45th parallel groomed for farm crops not the worlds tallest mountains. That combined with life's factors, finances, family, training, I was really never able to live a dream of climbing. Besides a small healthy fear of heights pulled me back words. Well lets face it, it takes a special individual to be a climber. To this day I still dream of Everest. Maybe everyone does. I have no idea. I read books about climbers and their stories. Discovery Channels Everest shows each Fall our some of the best TV ever. In some inner Lizard brain I am pulled to a dream of standing on top of the world. But practicality kicks into gear real quick. Mainly its very expensive live changing event. I need to be a Father and Husband....not a selfish explorer leaving...
