my passion
I’ve found my passion… I’ve found that thing that I want to do for the rest of my life… CLIMBING MOUNTAINS!!!
Going up ain’t easy… It takes patience and endurance. You gotta bear the heat and exhaustion. Your body aches, your legs want to give, you sweat profusely, you can barely catch your breath, and your heart pumps like mad… ahhh… its a pain, but that reminds me I’m alive! Life down here can get pretty dreary and I need that rush I get out of climbing to keep me sane.
When you get to the peak, all exhaustion goes away. You look down in awe of the beauty of the sights you can never see when you’re down at sea level… And you tell yourself, "I climbed this?! whoa!!!" HEAVEN… thats what the mountains are for me. There I am at peace.
And of course, its also about the people you’re with. I’m really lucky to have found and joined a great group of climbers. The DLSU-D Mountaineering Society… and of course, special mention goes to my batchmates… BATCH 9 a.k.a. BATCH TAPULAO!!! We endured and we prevailed! Got nothing but love for all of you guys!
I hope that when I graduate, I find a career that would allow me to continue this passion that I’ve found. I cant imagine giving it up for anything… I also hope I can find someone special that I can share this love for the mountains with… I can’t imagine being with someone who doesnt climb… like I said, up there is heaven for me, how can I enjoy heaven if that person dearest to my heart isnt there…
