Going Outdoors
I just concluded my second climb in six months. This time its Mt. Banahaw in Tayabas, Quezon. So we didn't reach the summit but it was challenging nonetheless because of the terrain and the weather, it was practically raining making the trail very muddy and sticky, good thing my Columbia shoes didn't fail me. It was up to the task of bringing me up and down the mountain safely. Although I suffered MAJOR scratches and insect bites it was an experience I will never forget plus I really learned a lot. The science of climbing was better explained to me this time. The technology of the tents and the cook set was better elaborated and now I understand why people get hooked on climbing. I want to really invest in this activity, be a serious climber, like buy good bag, earth pad, maybe get a tent (that will be the day), because it's a good hobby and lifestyle and it will teach you self discipline not to mention survival skills.
Our new concept store, R.O.X in Bonifacio High Street will be opening in a few days and as part of the training of our people they have to experience the outdoors so that they can better explain the technology to the customers. That's why we have activities such as this. I had fun and I am really inspired to have a evry active and "outdoor-ish" lifestyle. It keeps you grounded and humble by everything you see and experience and that you are just a small part of something big, bigger than you and me.

Whole
name is Ma. Francia Camacho Rosero.
Libran (go figure where her birth date falls) in the year 1985. Sees
herself as a leader,
she never avoid situations
where she can learn and improve. She
has a knack for reading and really likes her skin color
(hence, the inspiration for the picture) because it
makes her truly Filipino. She loves to sing while doing the dishes and dance
while cleaning. She loves to watch movies and laugh with Vic and Jose. She digs
Disney movies and still loves Lindsay Lohan although she metamorphosed to
something undistinguishable. She has great and big dreams
both for herself and family but find those dreams really selfish, since she
hasn't figured out yet what she can for her country. She would love to work for
humanity. But for the mean time she's just working on familiarizing herself with
every word in the dictionary. A destructive perfectionist, she loves to ask how
things work and likes to know why things works this way and not that way. She is
fascinated by the Arab Culture, Mafia and organized crimes and she really likes
History. She loves watching the news and listening to speeches. She likes
watching sports although she doesn't really know how to play them and one habit
she has been trying to overcome is stalking actors and actresses. She is a frustrated athlete.
And she's serious about her spirituality.
