yatta!!!

(this is a long overdue post :p)

according to an article i read before climbing mt.fuji, only 1% of the japanese population climb this mountain... the 99% just like to view it from afar... or from postcards :)) ("mt.fuji is for viewing, not for climbing") and since i'm in japan and mt.fuji is already dormant (1708 pa ung last eruption nya :-P), why not join the 1% :-P

and yep, at first i underestimated the climb (what's so hard in climbing, malamang sumakit lang naman katawan ko)... but a week before the climb, i read some articles, precautions, warnings... dun na ko natakot :)) so kahit wala sa budget ko, i prepared the necessary gears, food and carbo load :)) (screw diet, i will eat rice, bread anything with carbo :)) )

i will not tell the whole story of the climb... wala lang naman exciting aside from the sunrise and reaching the summit hehe... oh! i almost fainted :)) altitude sickness chorva... akala ko nga ikamamatay ko na sa mt.fuji wahahaha...

at first i thought, i just wasted my time in climbing mt.fuji (it's my whole body talking, masakit talaga buong katawan ko for a week!)... didn't realize that it was such a BIG DEAL... A GREAT ACHIEVEMENT... not until my family and my friends congratulated me... bumilib sa kin kumbaga hehehe...

and yeah! now, i can proudly say, "YATTA!!!I CONQUERED MT.FUJI!"

let the photos tell the story: conquering mt.fuji
