Its been a very long time since I stopped in blogging, murag almost 1 year naman siguru. Why I stop? Gikapoy lang. Lol! Anyways, last week (second week of January), we've been looking for a place to hide and to stay overnight through camping. Supposedly, adto unta mi sa Lake Bensis sa Toledo with Lost Lokal peeps, however, we realized na naa diay sad event sa Bensis on the same day. So, we have decided nga sa Mt. Mago nalang gyud mi mag camping.
Camping Experience
Tugnaw, Kamang, and Night trekking
Technically, nahimong night trek kay around 4pm naman me na abot sa Carmen tapos namalit pag pang dinner and foods for our breakfast. As soon we or I arrived in Carmen, there I met my new friends, sir Eli and Maam Ching friends of Lost Lokal peeps (Renson and Hardilene).
Around 5pm na gyud me naka larga to Mt. Mago jump off mao ng na ngitngit ug naka night trek. Good thing kay it's my third time mo adto pero nalimot nakus trail ky dugay na kaayo tong last naku adto but not a problem actually ky daghang bata na willing mo guide adto.
Sayo palang sa gabie tugnaw na kaayo though wala pay fog pero tugnaw na kaayo ang huyuhoy sa hangin sama sa iyang ka bugnaw. We ended our night with fun, full of chikkas and plans for next laag. One thing nga dili naku malimtan ani nga laag kay "LOVE", lang tawagan kay lage partner2 man sila nya ako ky unfortunate.hahah.
We had our lights off around 10 pm tugnaw na kaayo and wholesome man lage kintahay, walay tagay maog gipang tugnaw ug ayo.HAHA. Mas ni samot pa ang ka tugnaw while the night goes deeper kay lage ako ra usa sa tent and wala pay tarong habol. Kalungkot!

The next day...
After cooking and eating our breakfast, instead of camp breaking, walay nahitabo kay nalingaw ra gihapon ug tabi until gipangtapol ug na ngatug balik. Lol! We had our descend from Mago afternoon na and since ulan2 man expected na muddy and slippery kaayo ang trail going down.
And yes, wala gyud me nasayop kay naay part sa trail na super slippery and I even took my shoes off kay nag running shoes raman and naka slippers si Renson of Lost Lokal. We are all happy and thankful kasi naka descend me na safe and sound and had a great experience.
How to go to Mt. Mago
From SM City or North Bus Terminal, sakay kag mini bus going to Carmen tapos naog kas Carmen Public Market. fare is 40-60 per head per way. Then from Carmen Market, look for habal2 going to Mt. Mago, it will cost yo 250.00php per motor for 2 heads per way, bali 125.00 per head per way.
Tip: Look for habal2 driver na taga Mago gyud and/or kanag suhito sa dalan for your safety.
